First and least, a socialist named Col
lins stood ON a box at the intersection
Of Railroad avenue and Third street
and grated for at least two hours on
the advantages to be derived from a
country governed by socialistic princi-
pies. The second event was as fol
lows, SO it Is alleged: Mr. Warren
Wurts of more than local athletic and
potato fame, said he could throw one
Joseph Whit, famous peach grower
of this vicinity. Mr.. Whit modestly
denied this, and said that he could
throw Mr.. Wurts with one hand tied
behind him and had ten dollars to baci.
it up with. Wurts then came forward
with articles of agreement for the
match, binding the parties thereto to
divide the proSts, IS per cent to the
winner and Is to the loser, the winner
to also get 80 per cent Of the moving
picture royalties. Mr.. Whit took this
agreement in his good right hand and
crumpled it all up, whereupon Mr.
Wurts became angry and attempted to
take the paper into his possession.
Then Mr.. Wurts sought the floor (of
saloon) propelled there by the fist OF
Whit. He also took to the floor
again when he attempted to resent this
rough action on the part of Whit.
Then Wurts dew to the protection Of
the mighty arm Of the law for redress
and had Mr.. Whit arrested for assault
and battery. In Mr.. Justice Cochran IS
court the final scene of this, direful
event was enacted. The justice
Gin fair round belly with good capon
q lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal
cut,
Full of wise saws and modern in
stances,''
proceeded to hear the evidence, but as
some Of the witnesses were not sure
just which side they were testifying
for and the evidence becoming more
and more at variance with the com
plant, the good Judge decided to
prosecuting witness. Whereupon, 80 it
is alleged, Mr.. Wurts became angry a
second time and insinuated to the judge
that he was no judge at all and the
recall ought to be applied in such
cases. At this, SO it is alleged, the
Court itself became angry in turn AMI
said he had anoti on to fine Mr.. Wurts
for contempt-but he didn't.
