Hits Client for Judgment.

One of the most peculiar circum-
stances that ever occurred in the Ham
ilton county district court occurred
in the case brought by Carl SparbOe of
Scott township against the New Hart
ford Insurance company Of New Hart
ford, Conn. Judge G. ID. Thompson,
prior to his elevation to the bench,
had been retained by the insurance
company. Since going on the bench,
he had forgotten all about the case
and when it came up in court with no
one appearing for the defense, he
promptly entered judgment in de-
fault, not recognizing the case as one
in which he, himself, had been retain
ed for the defense.
The case involved 1854. Mr.. Spar
Doe. before shipping herd of hogs
to the Chicago market, took out an in
surance police with the company nam
ed. 1t was during the heat of the sum-
mer and a good many of the hogs died
while enrOufe. The suit was brought
TO collect the insurance on this loss.
The case was filed nearly year ago
and, as Judge Thompson gave up all
his practice here upon going on the
bench. this particular case had slipped
his mind
1t probably seldom happens in legal
procedure that a judge is called upon
to enter Judgment against his own
client for cases of this kind are seldom
brought before judge who has form
erly been retained on either side of the
case

Walt Terrell got the jolt of his sweet
young life the other day. Walt, as
everyone knows, is something Of u
gabber. Makes his living that way,
He can wear Prince Albert to chin
music in any company. And so the
other day they subpoened him as a
witness to give expert testimony in an
insurance case at the court house.
Walt loaded up by putting on an extra
large vest to cover his chest and
mounted the witness stand. "Are you
familiar with the American mOrtuary
tabley asked one of the legal sharks
in the case. ''That's my speciality"
modestly replied our Walter. And
then the attorney on the other side
made some legal sleight-of-hand move
and the judge dismissed Mr.. Walter
Terrell without even letting him
testify! Thus was Justice dispensed
with.
Over at the Chamber of Commerce
the other day they called telephone
central and asked her to switch on the
police light and ask the chief to step
around to headquarters. And in few
minutes Chief Thompson appeared
did you guys want something's" he
asked. "Y'bet," replied the bunch.
