reached a crisis. Last fall Hunt rented
Bakers theatre and during the latter
part OF the winter Blaker tried to oust
him for non-payment of rent. The
latest charge is that of assault and bat
terry against Blaker, a hearing upon
which was set for Monday last before
Squire Coombs. Mr.. Blaker was rep
resented by g. A. Bourgeois and Law
yer Jones, of Camden. Mr.. Hunt tee
titled that on April 9Th Baker forcibly
put him out of the theatre after pry-
ing the door open with a chisel. Up
on being asked if he did not say In
De Unger's office in Camden that he
would hand over the keys to Blaker
the next day, Hunt declined to an
swer. The lawyer and Squire Coombs
then had a little tilt over the legal
points in the case, in which the ques-
tion OF who had legal possession of the
theatre figured. Mr.. Hunt repeatedly
declined to answer, and it was decided
to postpone the case for one week and
have the county prosecutor present,
which was agreed to. Blaker seems to
have actual possession of the theatre
and has same guarded by officers. It
has been a month or so since the
theatre has been used for moving pic
lures or playing purposes.
