Judger of the @istrict court of Douglas county have been lured and inveigled into alscussing the now famous Pittsburg exg case. Readers of telegraphic news items will' remember that some time ago Mrs. Wagner's young: son appeared at the back door of Mrs. Brown's residence and, as- suming a formal air, dellvered himselt of the tollowing “Mrs. WagneF's compliments, ma'am, and could you lend her the loan of a dozen Brawn could and would and did At this thine, it must be carefully noted cents aplece, or Tempus fugited along after_the habit of tempus for le these many years, and presently the bottom dropped out of the egg market. The price fell to 2 cents a Gomen and Mrs. Wagner prepared to liqui- date her [fidebledness. The boy once more appeaved #t the back door, a dozen eggs in tow, and offcred them to Mrs. Brown. That woman refused the tender and de- mended (Wo and one-half dozen, that being the preseft equivalent of the oriinally in- vestd 50 dents Forthwith the matter got into court.

They would know what Is the established custom in these cases.” Judge Day was willing to admit that “a and fine point Is Invelved and glad | that it won't come befors me." Judge Leslie of the county court had his head full of the Connor will case and when approached deftly got from under by say- Ing he “would rule on the question if It ever comes before me." Judges Redick, S8ears and Troup were un- sympathetic toward Mrs, Brown and held the tender sufficient, but Judge Estelle could sympathize at least with her point of view. ‘“SBuppose Mrs. Wagner had de fauited payment entirely,” he argued “Mrs. Brown would have sued for 30 cents and won, would she not?" Local Mrs. Browns will do well acecord- ingly to have their case tried before Judge Estelle if -possible. nice Too Poor to Bury Her Daughter Mrs, Ella Tho'()up of Sorrow, with Lost Girl and Erring Boy, Overflows.
