Court.

On Wednesday Judge Carrow again
held court. The first case tried was Will
iana D. Hartshorn against Harry Wood
ward. They both live in the neigh.
borhood of Cookstown, At sale both
parties bought some wood lots and when
Woodward cut his timber it was claimed
he trespassed on Hartshorn's land. Be-
fore he got through with the cutting 70
trees had fallen. A dispute arose owe r
the boundary line and as it could not lie
settled by the two men it was decided to
take the matter to court. The jury de-
cided that Woodward had gone over the
line and they made him pay SO cents
per tree.
A breach Of promise case with Jennie
NJ. Austin, of Beverly, as plaintiff, and
Joseph P. Monaghan. of Riverside, de-
PENDANT, was to have been tried but it
was reported settled much to the disap-
pointment of many who had expected to
hear spicy case.
Wednesday afternoon was taken up
with the suit of Nick Mickik, of Roeb-
ling, against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. In September last, Mickik
was passenger on train going from
Burlington to Roebling. He had gone
to the former place to get tooth extract
ed. He did not feel very well and when
the train stopped at Roebling he was
slow in getting off the ear. He claimed
that the train started before he could
step on to the station platform and he
was thrown. He grabbed the handrail
OF the car and was dragged some distance
finally falling under the car, the
wheels passing over his leg and injuring
it so that amputation was necessary.
The railroad company commended that
Mickik did not attempt to leave the
train at Roebling and when he found
he had gone beyond his station he tried
to get off while the train was in motion.
1t was also contended that the injury
did not come from the passenger train
but was inflicted by a freight train which
went along soon after Mickik reached
the track. The case was continued un-
til Thursday afternoon when the jury
rendered verdict of 81, 500 for the plain
tiff.
This finished Judge Carrow's business
for time. He will be back on date to

court Thursday and he took up the case
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
