 Fa1rneId, July 22-Judge Bacon Wakeman sprang a big surprise in the town court yesterday when he appeared as the complainant in a slander case which was being heard before the court. Mary Dremas and Lizzie Zembo, neighbors, reside near the pumping station. Oftentimes the two have engaged in wordy battles, in which it is stated the flow of Bill 1ngSgare has gone unchecked. Mrs Zembo had been indiscreet enough to appear before Judge Wakeman for such an offense. Saturday she made complaint to the police officials that Mrs. Dremas had slandered her and asked for her arrest. The warrant was sworn out and yesterday morn ing Mrs. Dremas and the testimony of Mrs. Zembo decided that the former was not all to blame and that as there was an offense committed, Mrs. Zen- bo was equally guilty if not more so then asked for the arrest of Mrs. Zem- bo and found her guilty he did al- so Mrs. Dremas. He fined each wom- an B and costs, which amounted to over $10 in each case. There was not a more surprised woman in Fairfield than Mrs. zembo when she realized that she was under arrest and was obliged to pay a fine.
 When the court was cleared of the witnesses in the Dremas and zembo cases, all seats were again occupied in another suit of a like nature. This time 1t was Mrs. Mary Murcko of Ienox Heights against whom two complaints were made by neighbors.. They claimed that Mrs Murcko had slandered them. The court hearing the evidence became skepttca1 consid- ering that the evidence presented be- fore him was not very much unlike the testimony that caused the arrest of the complainant in the former case. For this reason the case was contin- ued until next Thursday.
