THE PINEHURSI OUTLOOK. NOBTIIKOUXD. TO W. A. WAKDKN. We all K) too early, as every one knows, Thus risking a kiss from our Lady of Snows; Hut since you are going we pray you may skip The Northland's twin scourges, pneumonia, la grippe; That the ground be not frozen, the trees be in bud, And vou may all safelv be landed in mud. M. L. II. Sjiiiiw Ituiiiiell llohls Court. Last Tuesday Esther McNeill, a col ored woman employed in the village, went before Squire 1). R. Bunnell and swore out a warrant against Henry Staples (colored) charging him with the larceny of a skirt, apron and hat. The warrant was delivered to A. A. Ruchan, a special constable, who arrested Staples and brought him before Squire Bunnell, who held court in the Village Hall at 3 o'clock Wednesday afurnoon. Notice of the affair had become noised about the village and when the appointed hour arrived the hall was rilled with our residents who gathered to witness what it was thought would proven very spicy trial. Promptly at H o'clock .Judge Bunnell arrived anil took his seat on a raised platform at the front of the hall, and, after removing his hat and adjusting his glasses, settled back in his chair in a dignified manner and beamed genially on the multitude of spectators assembled. The prisoner was then brought in and seated in front of the Squire, and he was followed by the plaintiff and the numer ous witnesses. Sam II. Smith, a promi nent Boston attorney, had been secured as counsel by the plaintiff, and George A. Mosher of Troy, N. V., appeared for the defendant. The Squire then rapped on the table with a big knife and declared court in session. He then asked the plaintiff and defendant if they were ready for trial, and both replied that they were not, much to the amusement of the spectators. The attorneys then seemed to feel it their duty to make a lew remarks, either to earn their fee or a reputation, or both. One of them apologized for appearing in his working clothes, saying that he lived in the outskirts and was called in a hurry. Finally, after considerable talk on the part of those interested, the com plainant announced that she did not care to prosecute and the case was nol-prossed, the complainant being taxed with $3.55 costs. The outcome was a great disappoint ment to the spectators, who were hoping that the trial would be a long one. It is rumored that the complainant and the prisoner got together before court con vened and settled the matter between themselves, the prisoner giving the com plainant $7.00 and paying the costs of court. After the wise was dismissed the Squire was introduced to a number of Northern attorneys visiting here and held quite a reception. 1 le imparted con siderable information regarding the laws of this state and impressed his hearers with the extent of his legal knowledge As the Squire was coming out of the hall one of our lady guests requested the privilege of taking his picture, which was graciously accorded, and lie kindly posed for her while she took a snap-shot with her camera.
