No. 7011, Benjamin J. Gifford vs. John Bingham; appeal from Squire Irwin’s court. The roller skating craze has struck the court house with considerable force, and the young lady deputies instead of going home to dinner occasionally put in the noon hour in practicing up on the tiled corridor of the lower floor, with Gus Grant and Joe O’Connor as chief instructors. Surveyor Myrt Price is trying to master the art in order to get Guss and Joe’s jobs away from them, but at this writing he is not a promising pupil. Myrt says he used to skate some on the pesky things some dozen or fifteen years ago but his joints are so stiff with age and his lack of confidence is so great now that he doesn’t progress very fast. Another thing that bothers him is the fact that there are so few things to grab hold of there if one starts to paw the air with his feet. The floor don’t spring a particle when one goes down suddenly, but aside from that it makes quite an ideal place to practice.
