AN OLD FASHIONED EJECTMENT CASE IN THE BACKWOODS.

*Primy Fishy” Evidence That the Coon Was A Court That Woaldn’t

Stend Dictation From Lawyers—Season-

Stolen

able Reasons For Adjournment.

There was 4 great stir at Rouzer’s Run in the Pennsylvania backwoods. The case | Binners versus Rorer was to come up

fore Syuire Sniffets. Job Binners some time before had charged Sam Rorer with ttealing a coon from him, and, getting no satisfaction, had called on Reuben Ray, who ‘‘done hoss doctorin an lawin,’’ for advice. Reuben had advised ‘‘takin the law on Sam,"’ and Job had told him to go ahead and make Sam sweat. Reuben ap- plied to Squire Sniffets for the necessary papers to proceed in the case.

‘““Squire,’’ said he, ‘‘we’ve got a case ag’in Sam Rorer for ’properatin a coon. The heft o’ evidence is that he has eat the coon, all ’ceptin the skin. What we want to <itis a writ o’ habus corpus on him to perjuco that skin afore you, so’s we kin take perceedin’s reg’ lar.’’

‘*My opinion is, Reub,’’ said the squire after due deliberation, ‘‘that you hadn't better do it. When you wunst git to habus corpusin there ain’t no tellin where you’re goin toend up. Fust thing you know you're liable to run slam ag’in the consti- tution, an then where be ye? Don’t go an habus corpus. E-e-jectment. That’s what you want. K-e-jectment, or trespassin on the case. Is your evidence primy fishy?”’

‘*Primest kind, your honor,’’ replied Reuben. ‘‘T’other feller’s is fishy.’’

“What you want, then,’ urged the squire, ‘‘is a reg’lar ole fashioned e-e-ject- ment.”’

‘*But you see, squire,’’ persisted Reuben, “a habus corpus will fetch’’—

‘* *Twon't no setch thing!’’ interrupted the squire, who was getting testy. ‘Not in this court it won’t, ’cause I won’t issue none.”’

‘‘Then can’t we sort 0’ capias Sam an put the screws right to him?’’ suggested Reuben, not willing to abandon his mode of procedure entirely.

“There you go ag’in!’’ exclaimed the squire. ‘‘ Yes, you kin capias him. Course you kin! Butcan’t two play at that game? You capias Sam an then Sam’ll turn round an capias you, an then as like as not somc eurn fool’ll capias me, an the fust thing we know we'll all be capiased to the s’preme court, an even if we keop outen jail the b'ar huntin’ll be all over ’fore we're through, an none 64 us won’t gita smell on it! There won't be no capiasin business goin on in this court, not this time o’ year. Do you want me to issue the summonses fer your e-e-jectment or

don’t you?’’

So it was settled in that way, and Reulb brought a ‘‘real ole fashioned e-e-jectment”’ against Sam Rorer on behalf of his client, Job Binners. The day had come for the trial before Squire Sniffets, and Rouzer’s | Run was all there to hear it. Pete Wis- | well, the blacksmith, was likewise a prac- | titioner in the squire’s ‘‘court,’’ and had | charge of Sam Korer’s interests. Squire Sniffets was busy mending a pair of boots when the hour arrived for the trial, but he put the work aside, and keeping his leath- er apron on and his seat on his bench, said he was ready. The squire detested coons

his liking. He rapped on his lapstone with his shoe hammer for order in court.

‘‘Asa preliminary to be made afore this herc case perceeds,’’ said he, ‘‘I want to state that the court has made all its ar- rangements for goin b’ar huntin, an there | won't be no delay in the perceedins, as the court has thunk the case all up, an kin hand down an opinion on the double quick. Where’s the culprit?’’

Reub Ray jumped up and said:

“There ain’t no culprit if your honor please. This is an e-e-ject’’—

‘‘Shet up!’’ exclaimed the squire. ‘‘] guess the court knows a culprit when it sees one. Stan up, Binners!’’

Job stood up, astonished and scared.

“So you've been a coon huntin, have you?”’ said the squire, looking up over his glasses at Job. :

‘*Well, yes, your honor,’’ Job stam mered. “I was outa little spell, t’other evenin, but I only killed one, an that’n Sam Rorer stoled an eat it!”

“This here court holds that a man that’ll go out with mallish aforethought an bunt coons is a dangerous citizen to be runnin loose’ said the squire. ‘‘Job Bin- ners, the sentence o’ this court is that you pay the costs o’ this here suit an a fine o’ 2 shillin. Stan up, Sam Rorer!’’

Sam got up, seared in his turn.

‘You're charged with bein excess’ry arter the fact by eatin that coon,”’ said the squire. ‘Guilty or not guilty?’

‘‘Not guilty, your honor,’”’ answered Sam, fumbling with his hat and gazing yacantly around. ‘“I—I—I fed it to my

hog, your honor.”’

“I b’lieve you’re lyin, Sam, but 1]

hain’t got no proof on it,’’ said the squire.

‘‘Job Binners has ’cused you 0’ eatin coon, an this court decides that it’s a clear case o’ slanderin you. For that I give you jedgment fer 4 shillin ag’in Job anyhow.”’ . “This is your ole fashioned e-e-ject- ment, is it?’ shouted Reub Ray, shaking

his tist at the court.

“All right! Good reason why you wouldn’t give mea habus corpus to fetch in that skin. But I'll ’peal this case till you'll wish you'd never ben born.”’

“Peal an be durned!’’ replied the squire, rising and taking off his apron. ‘This court’s adjourned to go b’ar hunt- in.’’—New York Journal.

SOME LAWS CF THE ROAD. Facts That Are Not Knewn by All Who Go Upon the Highways.

The talk ofthe many thousands is often turned toward the law of the -road, for there is no one who does not make use of roads, either to ride, drive or walk upon. For the protection of the traveling public it is necessayy that certain rules regulat- ing travel upon the public highways be generally observed.

Our statutes do not require a traveler to keep upon any particular part of the road, nor to turn wut in any certain direction. But it is universal custom in this country for vehicles#@md animals under the charge of man to take the right side of the road when meetihg others, if it is reasonably practical todo so. A team should in gen- eral keep the right side, whether meeting another or not. Yet, when two are going in the same direction, and one wishes ta pass the oper, he should pass on the left side, as th” first team has the right of way and cannot be expected to deviate from his course upon the right side. One passing another must use great care to aycid a col- lision, as nothing but necessity will war- rant him in doing this, for both, going in the same direction, belong upon the right side, and by any deviation from his proper side one assumes all risk of the experi- ment. The rule must be very strictly ob- served at night, or when, by reason of storm or fog, it might be difficult to dis- tinguish others approaching.

A traveler on foot or on horseback must give way tu a vehicle, and a lightly loaded team must give way to a heavily loaded one, buta team with a heavy load ought in certain cases to starid still so as to al- low a lighter vehicle to pass. The driver of a horse must use ordinary care in its management, and is liable for all damage eaused by careless driving, and if he leaves his team he must use ordinary care in hitching it, for if a horse left unhitched starts and occasions damage the responsi- bility rests upon him who neglected to hitch it. But if a team is hitched with ordinary care and is frightened by some unusual disturbance, as by a runaway team running against it, and the team so hitched breaks away and in turn runs and causes damage, no liability rests upon him who carefully hitched his horse.

The movementof sleighs and sleds upon the snow being comparatively noiseless, it is customary to attach bells to them or to the horses, and the want. of bells would render a person liable for damages. Bicy- cles are regarded as vehicles and are sub- ject to the same rules—they must give way to heavier vehicles, and foot passengers nivet in turn give way to them. Massa- “hrvt tts laws require bells to be attached «0 ab. bicyeses. As no one is obliged to build fences mext the highway, the use of which is common to all people who choose to travel upon it, so drovers of cattle and other animals are not responsible for dam- age by their traveling herds if reasonable care be exercised in their management.— Utica Observer.

A MAN OF CONSCIENCE.

Wouldn't Imperil a Sinless Life by a Power of Attorney.

“TI bave run across curious people of many sorts,’’ said the observant Jersey- man the other day, ‘‘but I had an experi- ence with a person recently who seemed to me the strangest of all. 1 was engaged in settling up an estate in which there was likely to be litigation, and I had conclud- ed to get powers of attorney from as many of the heirs at law as possible in order to save expense and expedite matters. I came to New York to see one of the heirs and found him a grave and able business man. When I explained the situation, he readily agreed that the course I intended to pursue was the best, and promised to assist me in it.

‘**Then,’ said I, ‘I suppose you will sign this power of attorney,’ and I laid the pa- per before him. ‘No,’ he answered decid- edly. ‘And why not?’

‘**Upon religious grounds,’ he said. ‘For many years I have been endeavoring to live a life that should be free from mor- tal sin, and so far I believe 1 have escaped any act that is beyond forgiveness. But I could not think of putting my name toa paper which authorized any one to act in my name for fear that the person might do some act which my conscience could not approve, and which, being done in my bame, would everlastingly condemn me. I cannot give you or ary one else a power of attorney.’ ’’—New York Sun.

His Bill.

An amusing document, carefully pre served by a woman who spends her sum: mers in a Vermont village, is the bill once presented to her by one of the natives whom she had employed to do some work en her small farm:
