T.tost of the ear.es set for trial for the second week of the September AftTi of court were cither settled or <• "tinued. What promised to be a l.u?;y week of court, dwindled to two i-ases. Those jurors not called on t}>r last case tried were excu.sed fiom frjther duty at this time. "Ihe case of WilliMm ,1. Colvi^n vs. ' L. Snowiss was tried Monday. This -. < a f' ' ndani's appeal and was an ' n ' ;|:iniill; brought bcfoie W. ililo.Ai. ju:.

Several witnesses were sworn a"^'! the case was given to the jury M-^nday afternoon. The verdict of ¦".hf jury was in favor of the plaintiff . i~, the lirtiount of $306.;!r.. j ¦i'ounsel for the defendant in the ' .".Vove entitled ea.se have filed rca.sons :f:, .• new trial and the court has set 'th* first day of November for hear- , jr;' arguments on same. ^ I One of the most interesting cases tr'^d at this term, and in fact for A'Tiy tei"ms. was the case of George V;.-jllace Sherman vs. Merton G. t 1-veland. Both parties to this ac- ; t7'.,i are lesidents of Richmond town- f!i'P and arc citizens very highly ¦".h'lujrht of in that section. The r'.'.'intiff in this case sued for dam- ; ?.K:i: iimountinET to $20,000. He al- Jiped in his statement of claim that .'il account of the carelessness and r-. ;.'lige!ice of the defendant in oper- :r."' Ig an ensilage cutter he was dam- ' ti-Kl to the amount of S20,000. . ':• was shown by the evidence ad- ariited that on October 4, 1910, the jiLiintiff was engaged in operatinir an c-i!-ilage cutler on the fami of the fl>'ive named defendant. That the :fai case became clogged and while Ihc said Sherman was cleaning out j;.;d fan caso, Cleveland started the Tvchine. As a result of this. Sher- T.'';.n received .serious injuries; his ih.-.id was crushed and the ligaments ¦.-f the arm torn; that he was under tl.' care of a physician for some timo £-ul that he has been un.ible to do Yr.-A work since the injury. The defendant claimed that tho 'nj-ji-y was due to the contributory rcgligence of the plaint'ff. That at fee time he received the injury he had Ti:aced<4iim"'lf in such a position that i.r^;ler the circumstances a reasonably ji.'jdent person would not have done. Evidence of good character and iCjiutation for truth and veiacity was ¦p. sduced b.v lioth sides. The defirnd- art endeavored to show b.v several •f;'tnesses. .^^^ome of them being neigh- J'lrs of the plaintiff, that the reputa¬ tion of the said Sherman for truth 2-'d veiacity in the neighborhood was rit good. This evidence was attacked ^¦y witnesses sworn by the plaintiff wSo testified to his good character CT.I his reputation fbr truth. The case was given to the jury "T'lursday morning. Both Mr. Crichton. attorney for the p'alntiff, nnd .Mr. Dunsmore, attorney j'-.r the defendant, in their pleas to t'le jury, ably and clearly outlined I'-'eir respective sides of ttie case. Both Jiguments weiv good and the jury .'¦;tened attentively to what each said. Judge Channell in his charge to ^he jui-y clearly explained to the jui-y the distinction between negligence jiid contributory negligence. He al- f) explained to them the manner in w.nich they should detei-mine the liTnount of damages due, if they I'lought damages were due and their ¦verdict should be for the plaintiff. The jury were out all night and did rot render their verdict until Friday ir.iorning. They found for the plain¬ tiff and awarded him the sum of $2,- iSO. As to what further di^iposition noil be made iin the cas« by attorneys f for the defendant, there is nothing at 'Jiis lime to indijate such action. .\ very tnteresling question was brought before Judge Channell on rule to show cause by the school di- ' rector.s of .Jackson township should not be removed, for failure on their part to transport pupils to ,schools that have been consilidated. It seems from the evidence admit¬ ted that on Ja'iuary 24, 1919. one school known as "Chester Ridge" school house was permanently clo.sed; I that this school was consolidated wilh a school at Jaclrson Summit known aa the Summit school; that the pupils attending the said ("hcstnut Ridge school were as.signed by the said ii'ji^ol Iboard to the said Sumirit UKfu LAu >ip:etin(; ok | Wlil.I.SP.ORO < HAPTEU l).

Judge Channell in his rulin,g said: We may admit thut section 1406 laK- en by itself, would seem to iec,uiie the transportation of this child the entire distance fi"om its home to the .school; but this section must be con- stiued in connection with that portion of se'-tion 1408 which we have just quoted. Section 1408 of tho school code provides not only for such transjiorta- tion but "stales among other things that in compulating such distances no rllowancc shall be made for the dis¬ tance that the dwell ine; house of the pupil is situated off the public high¬ way. .\11 such (li.'itaiices shail be com¬ puted by the nearest highway. Monday was the first day of tha third week of court, known as .Argu¬ ment Couitj Several divorce- matter.=i were at this time dispo.-ed 1,.* as other cases brought for this week. Several residents of O.^eeola bor¬ ough petitioned to have the old of¬ ficers of the borough rclaiiitd for townfihip officers, since the voters of Osceola have changed the boi ou.,h to a township. One side claimed the most signers. Upon a ceita-n certif¬ ication of the signatures it proved that those asking to have the old of¬ ficers retained were in the majorit.v. It wus not a real jiolitical "sciap" liut it had the ear marks of a ".-iciap" that had passed into history. The defendants in the following cases were present and renewed their bail foj- the November term: Commonwealth vs. Claude P. Cul¬ ver fassualt and battery). Commonwelath vs. .¦\nsel Hubbard (perjury). Commoawc'illh vs. Gurney Bost- wick (perjury). ; In the case of the Commonwealth \ vs. Alfred Miller, the said defendant j being charged with desertion and I non-support, the court madi- an or¬ der that the defendant pay to his wife tiie sum of S.O a week and stand committed until such order Ind been complied wilh. The following ilivorce matter were acted upon: David T. Ditchburn vs. Genevieve M. Ditchburn; ex parte heariiiir fixed fur Oct. 9, 1919, at 2 p. m. Mary E. Dimmick vs. Henry O.

SKPTB.MBEK COURT
C'siJ Coi'rt Matters Considered I)ur- '.g the "Second Week" of Court.
T.tost of the ear.es set for trial for the second week of the September AftTi of court were cither settled or <• "tinued. What promised to be a l.u?;y week of court, dwindled to two i-ases. Those jurors not called on t}>r last case tried were excu.sed fiom frjther duty at this time.
"Ihe case of WilliMm ,1. Colvi^n vs. ' L. Snowiss was tried Monday. This -. < a f' ' ndani's appeal and was an ' n ' ;|:iniill; brought bcfoie W. ililo.Ai. ju:. 'CC of tht" pesue cf WL mv ..anV-tri"" ¦ .. .^',* ,* i-t the nmount due him from -ndant, for .1 sold and deliver- c 1. Several witnesses were sworn a"^'! the case was given to the jury M-^nday afternoon. The verdict of ¦".hf jury was in favor of the plaintiff . i~, the lirtiount of $306.;!r.. j
¦i'ounsel for the defendant in the ' .".Vove entitled ea.se have filed rca.sons :f:, .• new trial and the court has set 'th* first day of November for hear- , jr;' arguments on same. ^ I
One of the most interesting cases tr'^d at this term, and in fact for A'Tiy tei"ms. was the case of George V;.-jllace Sherman vs. Merton G. t 1-veland. Both parties to this ac- ; t7'.,i are lesidents of Richmond town- f!i'P and arc citizens very highly ¦".h'lujrht of in that section. The r'.'.'intiff in this case sued for dam- ; ?.K:i: iimountinET to $20,000. He al- Jiped in his statement of claim that .'il account of the carelessness and r-. ;.'lige!ice of the defendant in oper- :r."' Ig an ensilage cutter he was dam- ' ti-Kl to the amount of S20,000. .
':• was shown by the evidence ad- ariited that on October 4, 1910, the jiLiintiff was engaged in operatinir an c-i!-ilage cutler on the fami of the fl>'ive named defendant. That the :fai case became clogged and while Ihc said Sherman was cleaning out j;.;d fan caso, Cleveland started the Tvchine. As a result of this. Sher- T.'';.n received .serious injuries; his ih.-.id was crushed and the ligaments ¦.-f the arm torn; that he was under tl.' care of a physician for some timo £-ul that he has been un.ible to do Yr.-A work since the injury.
The defendant claimed that tho 'nj-ji-y was due to the contributory rcgligence of the plaint'ff. That at fee time he received the injury he had Ti:aced<4iim"'lf in such a position that i.r^;ler the circumstances a reasonably ji.'jdent person would not have done.
Evidence of good character and iCjiutation for truth and veiacity was ¦p. sduced b.v lioth sides. The defirnd- art endeavored to show b.v several •f;'tnesses. .^^^ome of them being neigh- J'lrs of the plaintiff, that the reputa¬ tion of the said Sherman for truth 2-'d veiacity in the neighborhood was rit good. This evidence was attacked ^¦y witnesses sworn by the plaintiff wSo testified to his good character CT.I his reputation fbr truth.
The case was given to the jury "T'lursday morning.
Both Mr. Crichton. attorney for the p'alntiff, nnd .Mr. Dunsmore, attorney j'-.r the defendant, in their pleas to t'le jury, ably and clearly outlined I'-'eir respective sides of ttie case. Both Jiguments weiv good and the jury .'¦;tened attentively to what each said. Judge Channell in his charge to ^he jui-y clearly explained to the jui-y the distinction between negligence jiid contributory negligence. He al- f) explained to them the manner in w.nich they should detei-mine the liTnount of damages due, if they I'lought damages were due and their ¦verdict should be for the plaintiff.
The jury were out all night and did rot render their verdict until Friday ir.iorning. They found for the plain¬ tiff and awarded him the sum of $2,- iSO. As to what further di^iposition noil be made iin the cas« by attorneys
f for the defendant, there is nothing at 'Jiis lime to indijate such action.
.\ very tnteresling question was brought before Judge Channell on rule to show cause by the school di-
' rector.s of .Jackson township should not be removed, for failure on their part to transport pupils to ,schools that have been consilidated.
It seems from the evidence admit¬ ted that on Ja'iuary 24, 1919. one school known as "Chester Ridge" school house was permanently clo.sed;
I that this school was consolidated wilh a school at Jaclrson Summit known aa the Summit school; that the pupils attending the said ("hcstnut Ridge school were as.signed by the said ii'ji^ol Iboard to the said Sumirit

Judge Channell in his rulin,g said: We may admit thut section 1406 laK- en by itself, would seem to iec,uiie the transportation of this child the entire distance fi"om its home to the .school; but this section must be con- stiued in connection with that portion of se'-tion 1408 which we have just quoted.
Section 1408 of tho school code provides not only for such transjiorta- tion but "stales among other things that in compulating such distances no rllowancc shall be made for the dis¬ tance that the dwell ine; house of the pupil is situated off the public high¬ way. .\11 such (li.'itaiices shail be com¬ puted by the nearest highway.
Monday was the first day of tha third week of court, known as .Argu¬ ment Couitj Several divorce- matter.=i were at this time dispo.-ed 1,.* as other cases brought for this week.
Several residents of O.^eeola bor¬ ough petitioned to have the old of¬ ficers of the borough rclaiiitd for townfihip officers, since the voters of Osceola have changed the boi ou.,h to a township. One side claimed the most signers. Upon a ceita-n certif¬ ication of the signatures it proved that those asking to have the old of¬ ficers retained were in the majorit.v. It wus not a real jiolitical "sciap" liut it had the ear marks of a ".-iciap" that had passed into history.
The defendants in the following cases were present and renewed their bail foj- the November term:
Commonwealth vs. Claude P. Cul¬ ver fassualt and battery).
Commonwelath vs. .¦\nsel Hubbard (perjury).
Commoawc'illh vs. Gurney Bost- wick (perjury). ; In the case of the Commonwealth \ vs. Alfred Miller, the said defendant j being charged with desertion and I non-support, the court madi- an or¬ der that the defendant pay to his wife tiie sum of S.O a week and stand committed until such order Ind been complied wilh.
The following ilivorce matter were acted upon:
David T. Ditchburn vs. Genevieve M. Ditchburn; ex parte heariiiir fixed fur Oct. 9, 1919, at 2 p. m.
Mary E. Dimmick vs. Henry O. Dimmick; subpoena awarded.
Alice L. Beake vs. Frank P. IJeake; subpoena awarded.
Leon L. Harding vs. Florence M. Harding; exparte hearing fixed for Nov. 2, 191'J, at 2 p. m.—Wellsboro Agitator.
