TROUBLE IN JUSTICE COURT.
BY .TENSIE SNUKES
on last Saturday down in the great
District of Morgans. Some trouble
arose between, col. Hamond John
son, and W. n. Oliver. They were
trying A case, in Which col. John
son Was employed on one Side and
Mr Oliver on the other, the evidence
had all Bin gone through With. Mr
Oliver Was making his argument
Before Squire R. T. Mauldin. When
col Johnson, rose and disputed mr
Olivers Word about Some of the ev
idence. and of course they Both let
their ambition get the upper hand
of them, and lost control of them |
selves. and conciqently they ran j
together. But nothing of serious I
nature happened, as the court room ;
Was Piety Well crowded, and our |
Bali ft' B. T. SticKland Was one of .
the first to get Between them. Bu
ford is only about (>;■> feet high and i,
Weigh only only about tWo bunded
Pounds, and of course his Size Kept
them from either Jumping over or j
tuning around and others Being:
mixed up Kept any injury from; <
Being done except A few scratches ;
and one little gash cut over Mr i
Olivers eye. Which we think Was I
done on the corner A Bench. We,
think the Worst scared man in the i
crowd Was mr F. C. Bell, mr Bell
Said the first he Knew of himself he | (
Was going toWard home. But We .
dont think he toled it all Squire i (
cooper found When he got home, 1
he had Some of Squire Mcevers Pa- |
pers We dont Know whether he |.
grabbed all the Books and Papers he j
could and run, or how come him ,
With them, the Books and Papers 1 ’
Was scattered about half over the i
court room. and of course they
had Some cases bad mixed. Squire 1
cooper says Squire Mcever Can have i
his Papers Back if he ’will comer
after them for he Says he is afraid
to go Back to the court .ground any
more.
Squire Mauldin Was from clinchem ,
Dist. and Was Presiding over the .
case, and restored order and went
on with the case. Mr Oliver and .
col Johnson Went through With ‘
their argument, and We hope those ,
tWo Prominent gentlemen Will
Make Peace let the Past go as for
Naght. all laWyers Will come out
better if they Will controll their
temper. Not only laWyers But it
Will Work in albcases. Kind Words
drivith a Way Strife.

CANTRELLS AWAITING FINAL
DECISION OF GOVERNOR
REMAIN JOVIAL IN CELL.
Jim Cantrell will Soon Issue Statement to
Eagle for Publication —His Eyesight
Jim Cantrell last Sunday evening
>was.in the highest spirits, and told
r an Eagle reporter that he would
give a statement, for publication
after his neck was broken, should
he hang on the 29th’of .this month.
Cantrell’s eyes are in a. bad cmT
dition from the measles having set
tled in them, and it is not thought
that the sight can be saved. They
are very red and swollen, despite
the fact that he wears goggles and
continually bathes them in a solu
tion furnished him by the county
physician, Dr. Whelchel.
He remains in a jolly state of
mind, however, and had a great joke
on the Eagle reporter Sunday after
noon. having locked that individual
in the cell that he and his younger
brothe , Bartow, have remained in
since their incarceration.
Mr. Buffington and Sheriff Spen
cer turn the boys out into the cor
ridors of the jail occasionally to take
exercise, and Sunday afternoon they
were roaming all over the jail and
having a good time with other pris
oners. The Eagle reporter stepped
into the cell occupied by the convict
ed men just to see how it would
seem to remain in the narrow con
fines for awhile, hnd Jim, taking
advantage of this move, for a joke
locked the reporter in.
But whatever the final termination
of their cases may be, they are not
worrying about it.

of the teams here and there want an
interesting game and get “licked”

tackling the Oakwood team.
