There was trial in nv
last week growing out of
ary automobile collision VIII o'''e''

ing a car on the Calumet road b. =,
Browns Corners and Silver = IN,
They approached from opposite di, an,
tions. So far there is no conflict in tvs,
testimony and nothing unusual, moth
ing miraculous nor opposed to the laws
of nature. From that point on, the
plaintiff and his two witnesses assert
that the plaintiff drew way over to the
edge of the ditch on his right and gave
the defendant the whole road. The
defendant and his two witnesses are
equally positive that the defendant got
way off the travelled track to the rim
of the ditch on his right and gave the
plaintiff full possession of the road.
Now enters the miracle; with room in
the road for four cars to travel these
two cars, each perilouSly hugging the
edge of the road on the right met with
a crash and considerably battered up
both cars.
SvOboda sued for $500 and Blivas
said, nothing doing, and demanded
$9l.20 from Svoboda.
The court has the matter under adj
viSement but whichever way it goes he
will be required to convict somebody of
what children used to call "whop-
per-, or what has been called in diplo
matte exchanges archaeological in
exactitude."
Bert Sickles, whose case was held
open last week after a plea of guilty
to a charge Of forging several small
checks made good on his claims to a
clean record and escaped a Jail sem
tence. Investigation disclosed that
this was his first offense, that he had
served in the first line trenches in
France and that his reputation was
good. Sickles said that he had used
the money secured by the checks to
buy food.
He will he put on probation and
given a chance.
Anton Lax was brought back here
from Stockbridge by Sheriff Schuette
and faced Acting Municipal Judge
Chloupek, charged with not showing
due parental solicitude in regard to
how lis two minor children are being
maintained. The pun upon The yopngI
mans name is altogether too evident
for the humor of any but the veriest
cub of reporter. He was put on
probation for two years with court
order to turn in Sl5 per month.
Following the recent big Aluminium
Goods picnic it was common know
ledge that anyone at the picnic with
the price and the thirst was able to get
a pint bottle of white mule and that a
considerable number had both the
price and the inclination. AS result
John Mittnacht, a town of Rapids
farmer, faced Acting Municipal Judge
Chloupek Tuesday MittnachtS place
had been raided by the sheriff and a
still in operation had been found. He
told the judge that he had just started
in the business two weeks ago. He
paid a fine of $3.50 and costs and prob
ably was way ahead at that.
Julius Dupras, a Two Rivers boy,
desired to attend social function be-
ing given at William Schmook's han
Sunday night. 1t seems that a fee was
required for admission to the scene OF
gayety and Julius fatty refused TO
either contribute or vacate. When Mr
Schmook undertook to remove the re-
yolyer against his will he landed a left
hook on the Schmook jaw. 1t would
have been cheaper to pay the admis-
sion, including war tax, which could
hardly have come to the SlS.7l Which
the course pursued cost.
