a Case But Everything
Didn't Work Out Right.

political and judicial adversaries,
Charles H. Peck, probate court judge

clash.
Peck's preparations to try a civil
case came to a sudden termination
when Morehouse, as prosecuting at
torney warned him through another
attorney, to desist. Peck is indignant,
Morehouse is gleeful and the stove
Clubs have a choice morsel to crunch
between the smokes.
MorehOuse learned some time last
week that a civil case was to be tried
before Judge Charles H. Peck. A rep
resentative of the town and one of the
committee who helped draw up the
act in the last legislative assembly for
bidding a justice of the peace to try
any civil cases when there is a, town
court, Morehouse Immediately notified
one of the attorneys that the proceed
ing was illegal and if the case was
tried the cost of court would be re-
naitted to the plaintiff and defendant.
The attorney Immediately withdrew
the case, saying that he was ignorant
of the passing of the act.
Judge Peck is going around the town
with an angry look and no doubt is
out as usual after the scalp of his adj
versary.
