Garnishec Cases Tricd Yesterday at the E¥igh Court of Polton. Considerable attention has of late been paid to the garnisbngnt law, or rather the abus¢ of it,which enubles city collection tirms to drag the representatives ‘of business houses all over tho county to defend garnishee suits which are often of the most trivial and vexatious character. By the statements of representative members of differ- ent lines of busiuess, it bas been shown in Tie TRIBUNE that the nuisance has grown to an in- tolerable point, it frequently happening that they have been gurnisheed and made to attend court outside of the city in cascs where tho debtor not only was not in their employ, but of whose existence they were actually ignorant. As the object of the collector is to annoy the garaishee as much as possible, the Iatter s al- most always made to attend n Justice court at a goodly distance from the city, and at an hour in the morning which mukes the trip to the country anytting but o pleasunt one to 2 person accustofned to o comfortable soodze on these cold wintiy mornings. Amoug the favorit placesto which the collector delights, by virtue of a marnishee summons, to bring hi3 vietims is Doitou, a village una stution on the Pittsburg, Cincinmati & St. Louis Ruil- road. This pluce Is especially affected by a col- lection tirm koowa as Cottle & Cu., 3 pamo which Is never mentioned by those having Iarge numbers of mea In their employ with- out a_coupled objurgation. Cottle & Co. are the uckuowledged exponents- of _the art of forcing wne colicetion of bud debts by the process of jarnishing the debtor’s employé, and the Justice-ofice of Dolton, presided over- by an ofd man of tho sume name s the villaga, bits become to be as well known and ubout us much respected as the collection firm upon whose business it tbrives. The seulor member ot tuo firm ot Cottlo & Co. lives at Dolton, within 1 very shorc distauce of the Justice's residence, so that, a3 far as thoy aru concerned. their business fi:m Dbe conducted upon a-pleasant. nd proituble busis. 155 Upon. Snturday morning that Justice Dolton listens to the evidence In sufts of gur- ishment, and, in order to provide the public with an iden of how the business i3 transacted, THE TiBUNE yesterday morniog dispatched a reporter to Dolton to attend cours and take note of the VERY PECULTAR DOINGS which tako place there.’ The garnishment cnses are set for 9 o'clock, which means 10 shurp, una as there is u train_which lcaves Chicago at £:40 2. m. and renches Dalton at 9157, on a Sutur~ duy morning it contains alwnys o number of Cottle & Co.’s vietims. Z *Which is the way to Justice Dolton’s office?’ the reporter asked of an inhabitant of the stragglicg village, as he dismounted from the r piatform. . = “Xoller the crowd Saturdays, and you can't go wrong,'” was the answer. The crowd was followed. It led in the direc-. tion of a large white frume building standing in the centre of a spacions lawn and bicked up by n handsome grove of trees. 'Che outside evi- dences were 1o tho effect that, at least as far 2s the Justice wns concerncd, the business of t Ing the garalshment liabllizy of Chicago's lead ing munufacturers, cic., at a distance of twents- " onie miles trom Chicago, wis . profitable one. The crowd renched tke house and eutercd n door which led them into o small room nbout trelve feet squarer in which sevenicen goatlemen were brought face to face with the problom of bow to dispose 0f thomselves com- Tortubly upon eight chnirs.

At this point the Judge found it convenfent to retire for a fow Woments to an ante-ropm. During his ubsence the garnishee who bad mild- ly remonstrated when the Court was so cruelly assutled asked ity nssailact: *Ain't you atraid of getting fined for con- tempt if “you use such lauguago within the Judge's bearing? ™ “Fined! Tino nobody. It was only a little while ngo that a garuisbee, after gettin’ padly beat by rhe usual combination, called right out: *G—d d—n the kind of justice one gets. here anyhow.’ *And the Judge didn’t fine him?™ “Divil & fine. Ho'll stand u great deal more than that beforo he feels his dirnity burt. He hus too good a thing here to let tritles like that Interfere with business. I've heard worse that right herg in the court.” The **Judge™ entered the room at this junct- ure, and from a_discussion of_his extravrdinary Judiclul forbearunce theguthering turned to & very lively conslderation of the presumptive utter vileness of the collection-ugent Cottle. Tbose who know himn only by hearsay, and the one brief experience which had crused their presenco in Dalton, evidently luoked upon him as sometking . SUPERHUMANLY WICKED AND BASE, and as possessing an outwurd appearance fully harmonizing with his inner turpitude, Huving discussed the man, they debated the point of whut would bo the best thing to do with him. Several suggostions were made, nmong which oneof an unjudicial hanging stemed to meez with great favor. A sousing in the muady waters of the South Branch was ecouted 29 being all to mitd w pualshment. Finally “one mervous little - gentleman who had been quiet hitherto, announced that he had u’proposition to make, and that ho menot business. He remarked that there were anoug the nudience many men of fine physique, nnd ho propozed that, immedintely after the ndjourn- inent of court, some one G the most muscular of tho garnishees should pive Cottle a_casti; tion, und that the remainder should chip in and Tuiso a subscription to pay the tine. The idea was that this course of ~treatment should be kept up every Saturdny until the wicked eollector repented und departed from his evil ways. The sugzestion received general praise Lor its ingenuity, but no detinit_uction was_taken looking towards 1ts being curried out in practical shupe. While a further consideration was belng had .of tho Lest wiy 10 got even with tho great gar- nishecr, tho door opencd and Mr. Cottle en- tered, smiling heerfully npon all fn tho room, and apologizing for baving kept tbem so long wuitinge for him. No answer wus returned to his sulutation, but tho man took no umbrage at this fnck of courtesy and continued smilinr pleasantly and ckatting guod-naturedly Wwith various purties in the room. The leading characteristic of the man, whicl stuck out in every word, look, and movement, was linely de- seribed by un Irishiesn, wEo, with o voico that seemed to Lesitute betwesn expressing disgust or admirnton, whispored into the reporter’s cur: 1 think be'hns a great gall?” Tnstead of tho oblrusively villainous-looking monster which the gurnishecs had auticipated mecting; the coltector turned out to oe a medium-sized younz man with, when bi3 ex- traordinary self-possession was not belng exer- ciged, nuthing to distinguish him from others in the room. His appearanco proved. gulte u sur- prise, so did the quict way in which he pro- ceeded nbout the business before him. The first case called wus one in which W, P. Rend & Co. were the garnisheed vietims. They were répresented by a young lawyer wuo presented au mbdavie seteing forth that the debror, one of Rend & Co.'s teumsters, wns' o mmried man, aud At the time Of the service of the garnishce-sum- mons hud nothing due bim. fron his employers witfch was not oxeipt. under tho statute. The collector examined the Iawyer very closely, and really estabtisned guod grounds why the gar- nishinent should e sustained, but the Court ruicd otherwise and disthissed the case, much to the astonishment of Mr. Cottle and of those amony the garaishees, who, by previous expe- riences, had become wequainted with the Court's methad of doing business. A shrewd fittly frishman, who was present on behaif of the Chicako Pucking & Provision Company, whispered into the ear of thereporters ‘*1sec what's the matter. I'm spouted for o reporter, sure enough.” THE NENXT GARNISHER was a man named G. Cockrell. Ie explained in very few words thut the debtor in the cuse owed bim money also at the tima of the serv- ing of the summons. _The case w3 dismissed, and the witness usked: A “« Huve'nt I got a fee In tbis case, Judge?” {“I on’t kno'w, sir; do you clafm & witness ee! & Yes, sir. * & AllTight: The next case culled brought up threo broths ers numed Huszagh, who bud been garnisheed on the supposition that they owed board-money T'Il mark it 5o on tho record.” to their father, who was debtor in the case. — This was vory soon disposed of. One” of the brothers testified that he arded with his mother, not with his futher, 2nd that he did not owe the old gentlemun a nickel. The other boys intimated that their re- 1ations with the head 0f the house were equully Irec from financial oblization, and the caso wus dismissed. Then _appeared o/ very indignant German named Joun Turnbold. who displuyed consider- able feeling ut baving been brougne all the was from Chicngo for, **notings,” and who, when he had satistied the Court thut he hetd no worldly goods belonging to the debtor, suid in a loud tone of volc * Mir. Shaof, I glaims my fees on dis gase ride o The Judge looked benigaly at the irate Teuton over nis spectacles, and wus about to sxy some- thing, when Mr. Cottle interrupted with: ;I‘IL‘II m then by nl{ munoer of means if that will do you nny good.” This exhibition of timely cheek caused the German to wilt, and he sat down with tho mild remarik: **Vell, Shooj, I vonts dose fees put mid de regord, guyhow." T'he case airainst the Chicazo Packing & Pro- vision Company closed those in which defenses were made. The Company wns represented by Otficer Walsh, who has the preservation of the peuce in taoir packing-house during the day tme. Nearly every Saturduy Olficer Walsh bas to appear at Dalton "to defend . one or more cases of garniskment, and, 13 he i3 _obliged to take the train at the Forueth Street Stativn, his uttendunce necessitates o walk of nearly three miles across opea pralrie to catch the morning tran. It took bim apout two miautes to satisty the Justice that no such man us the debtor in the case ever worked ut the pucking-house. This ended the case, nud the Court then called up bulf a dezen other cnses, which wers undefended, and In which Judzment was rendered for the plaintills. Some local ciases of an_ unmntercstipy nature folluwed, and, ns It was now uvearly train time, jun Of gurnishees returned o the ¢ «arnishor wus on the truin coming tho proc statlon. in, and Tie TRIBUNE reporter hud a brief con- vérsation with him on the_subject of the cxtru- oranary means he employed to force Lue col- Jeetion of debts placed fu his bunds.
