Ashland Trading Company

Warning Destruction Co., 80 Ashland,
4961). In view of much conflicting
testimony, Calkins moved to strike
whereupon opposing counsel nearly
came to blows, and a rough house
was only averted by the interposition
of an apathetic sheriff whose actions
throughout the entire trial were on
the bias. The argument of Prosecut-
ing Attorney Lamkin was a bitter
and eXcoriating denunciation of de-
fendant, in spite of which the jury
found Mr.. Irwin not guilty. The
Judge, however, set aside the verdict,
and summarily sentenced Irwin to
serve six additional months on the
city council, without benefit of
clergy, although Rev. Mr.. Chisholm
offered his kind services in the dire
extremity.
This trial has developed much
acrimony, most of it through jeal-
ousy of owners of rival cars, who as
witnesses made some most astound-
ing charges and counter charges re-
garding merits of their respective
machines. Singular as it may ap-
pear, cat, an elephant, and a blind
pig figured in this celebrated trial,
as accessories either before or after
the fact. AS test case the verdict
will be carried higher up in order
to settle for all time whether the evil
dence submitted regarding the ele-
phant was relevant or irrelevant. it
being taken for granted that under
the circumstances it could not possi-
by have been irreverent.
The end is not yet, for in the
roundup incident, to dispersal of
guests at the midnight hour, there
occurred a mysterious change of
hats, with the result that probably
another trial will be had in order
to determine the rightful ownership
of the miXed-up headgear. (See

Councilman Convicted.

Responding to the kind invitation
of Rev. Mr.. Chisholm, of the Presby-
terian church, about a score of men,
bers of that affiliation, including in
vited friends, were guests of the
manse last Tuesday evening, where
they found in the person of the local
pastor one of the most genial and
hospitable of hosts. The meeting was
for men only, among those present
being Messrs. Calkins, Brewer, Geo
Irwin, c.. B. and H. r. Lamkin
Mayor Neil, Mccoy, Sr., Werth,
Smith, Tiffany, Grub, Schofield,
Wick, Schneider, Frank Murphy, Day,
Altman and F. H. Johnson.
This masculine element was on
frivolity bent, and in addition to
games of various kinds, mock trial
was the chief event on the calendar
Councilman Irwin having been duly
indicted for driving his auto at an
excessive speed. Mayor Neil presid-
ed over the court, c. B. Lamkin act
ing as prosecuting attorney The
defendant secured the services of
Judge Calkins by hypothecating his
car and family residence on Helman
street to meet the exactions of a
modest retaining fee. DR.. Brewer
preserved decorum as sheriff, while
DR.. Johnson served as clerk, and in
the absence of the official reporter,
Day kept the record. After lengthy
arguments pro and con-mostly con
Mccoy, Sr., and Schneider were
excused from the jury for cause, the
| former on account of being from
Missouri, especially near the vicin-
! ity of st. Joe, while the latter was
| beyond the pale and panel due to the
fact that he was a German and a
democrat, to all of which proceedings
exceptions were taken. The jury as
| finally secured consisted of Werth,
Schofield, Tiffany, Altman Smith
and Grubb. Werth served as fore
man, and although a German, he
produced affidavits that he had been
acclimated. Contrary to all prece-
dent, the defendant was not allowed
to plead, the judge ruling arbitrarily
on all points of the case, both legal
and unlawful. The testimony in gen
eral was conflicting, the preponder-
ance going to show that Irwin was
running his car at speed not to ex-
ceed one mile in six hours instead
of sixty miles in one hour. An old
discarded steam gauge without even
a dial was also introduced as mute
evidence in behalf of the defendant,
he having improvised the fixture as
speedometer, thus perfecting the
record, which only applied to a sin
gle count of joy riding over the
paved districts (see Breeze ct al. VS..

Bachelor Club Surprised.

A stag" party was called for the
Winner Cove Apple House, Tuesday
evening, to organize a bachelors
club or take some other action
whereby further depletion of the
ranks of the Young Mems Social and
improvement Club by the acts of Dan
Cupid might be prevented, the recent
loss of Claude Coon and H. G. But
terfield by marriage having caused
considerable CONSERVATION among
the remaining members, the only
comforting fact being that leap year
will soon be a thing of the past.
About dozen girls got wind of
the affair, which was not at all to
their liking, and since women have
been accorded the right of suffrage,
they decided to have a hand in the
game.
Meeting at the Bailey home on
Walnut street, they proceeded to
take the apple house by storm, where
the boys were discovered holding
high jinks and enjoying themselves
after the manner of mere men. The
arrival of the female contingent
caused great confusion among the
would-be foes of matrimony, who
abandoned the idea of a bachelors
club with considerable relief and
joyfully and hilariously proceeded to
entertain the fair guests. There
were games, stunts and all kinds of
"cuttin' up" the slogan being, Let
Joy be unconfined." In the absence
of a chaperon everybody had so
much fun they nearly died a-laffin'.
There was sound of revelry by
night, including carnival horns and
college yells, while quantities of
sweet cider and apples were con-
sumed, also several delicious cakes.
Those present were: Misses Ber-
tha and Hildred Bailey, Florence
Farnham, Melissa Wenner, Minta
Cherry, Jean Anderson, Grace Bar
ney, Ada Hartley, Emily Wells, Eu-
nice and Wilma Charter and Theresa
Branch; Messrs. Homer Elhart, John
Rigg, Clayton Borror, Clinton
Wright, Edw. Hadfield, Will Moor
E. o. Smith, J. B. Hunter, o. H. and
G.. H. Barnhill.
