Two residents of the eastern part
of the county are liable for contempt
of court, following their non-appear-
ance as witnesses in the case of the
New Castle Horse Co. VS., A. ]. Beatty
Friday and in view of the alleged
statement of one that he did not in
tend to appear.
The case was originally set for an
earlier day, but on account of the fact
that two very important witnesses
were not present, 1t was postponed
until June 2. The witnesses were still
not in attendance when the case came
up Friday and, on motion of Judge F.
o. Levering, writ of attachment was
issued by Judge Blair and placed in
the hands of Sheriff Woolison.
The two men will be forced to ap-
pear before court and explain why
they are not guilty of contempt.
Shortly after the writ was issued, one
of the men came, but the other has
not been located as yet.
A portion of the testimony was sub
mitted and the case continued until
Monday, June s. 1t is an appealed
case from the court of a justice of
the peace and was brought by A. J.
Beatty to recover rent said to be due
him from the horse company.
According to the statements made
it appears that ]. r. Cessna was en-
ployed by the horse company to see
that one of their horses was properly
housed and fed for a period of three
months. For this service he received
a compensation of $500, it is claimed.
He placed the animal in the Beatty
barn, the latter alleges, and then new
er paid cent for rent.
