and facts, as is suggested by Mr.. But
Ter, there is not very much difference
in the statements of the two sides, ex-
cept that this witness, who has been
there about three weeks, testifies that
he was called rat.
Nov in view of the circumstances

that the respondent here has violated
the injunction; and as to what penalty

in regard to Mr.. Patrick, l want
to say that all / wish to accomplish
is to impress upon the minds of ev-
erybody that the mandates of the court
must be obeyed. The court doesn't
know any Wooden Mill Co. and doesn't
know any labor organization. 1t is
to be guided by the law, so far as we
know what the law is, and that is all.
And I have no disposition whatever,
under the circumstances of this case,
in view Of theSevidence here, to i'm
pose any penalty upon Mr.. Patrick. |
want him to understand that he and
others must obey the injunction OF the
court while that injunction remains in
force. and therefore I am going to sus-
pend any sentence. or the imposition OF
any sentence upon him. and the case

Wood merchants from the rural dis
tricts who bring "jags" or loads of
wood to the city for sale, and it might
be added some of those who keep sup
ply of wood on hand in town to sell to
such customers as are in need of that
commodity from time to time, are apt
to be more careful in future than they
have been, and citizens from now on in
buying a load of wood from teams
which haul 1t to the city will be very
apt to measure the wood and see If it
measures as much as the one who sold
it claimed it would One of the reasons
for this is that in consequence Of many
complaints which have been received
that wood has been sold in short meas
ures, City Marshal Tyler measured
yesterday morning four loads which
had been hauled in and found that
every one of them fell short in meas
urement, some Of them a foot and
others more. 1t is we'll known that the
practice of giving short measure in
wood Is not an uncommon one, but
some Of the dealers who have been
found little shy in their measure
ments, have claimed that they were not
selling the wood as a proportionate part
Of cord but were selling it by the
load" the price being, for instance
$1.25 per load. In view OF the prelimi-
nary work which has been done in the
way of measuring wood. it is consid-
cred probable that such wood as is sold
in future in the Augusta wood market
will be measured and paid for accord
ing to the number Of cubic feet which
it contains.
