Breach q Promise Case.

| For some time, it is alleged, one of
| our prominent citizens has paid more
or less attention to young and beau
tiful widow of this city, forgetting,
or at least not needing the advice of
the immortal Mr.. Weller to his son
Samuel to beware of the vidders."
He now claims that he was not at
tached to her, but however that may
have been the widow became attached
to him, and as he seems to have lost
interest in the matter, she has at
tached his property, which is form
of attachment that he does not enjoy.
The result is that he finds himself
the defendant in a first class breach
of promise case and his questionable
attitude towards the widow will be
given an airing in the near future.
The parties in the case are so
prominent that it is feared no court
room will hold the vast crowd desir-
GUS of attending the trial, so it will
be held in The Cresco on October 10,
under the auspices of the Civic Asso-
citation for whose benefit the pro-
ceeds will be devoted. In other
words it will be Mock Court Triel
and it promises to be one of the most
enjoyable affairs of many years, as
a large number of our leading people
will participate in the proceedings.
The Committee having the trial in
charge have engaged Col. A. V. New
ton, the well-known lawyer-lecturer
Of Worcester, Mass, to attend to the
details and personally conduct the
entertainment
Col Newton has had remarkable
success in conducting similar enter
tainments and without doubt the
Breach of Promise Trial will be here,
as well as elsewhere, an event long
to be remembered with pleasure.
