HANGING GROVE.

X , ———— .. ■The apring term of Justice C. W. Bussell’s court convened atMcOoysburg Wednesday afternoon at 1 o’clock. The case was that of G. W. Infield vs. Thomas J. Becker, ousting proceedings. The Becker family moved here into one of Mr. Infield’s tenant house, the latter part of February without first securing permission to do so and have flatly refused to vacate after being served with due notice. They stood trial on the grdund that their goods were in the house first and also because some one other than the * rightful owner had told, them to move. The plaintiff pleaded his own case and the defense was represented by Emmet Laßue. After hearing the evidence and arguments the squire took the case under advisement and will give his decision Saturday morning at 10 o’clock. Wm. Walker is quite sick, threatened with typhoid fever, at the home of Mr. and Mra O. Mannan. Bert Lewis has taken down with the mumps at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Hitchings. Ray Hicks spent Sunday with relatives at Fowler. Mrs. Ed Cook visited with Mrs. O. Mannan Tuesday. The recent rains have mixed the dirt roads up in great shape and in some places the roads are very bad.
