REMINGTON J. P. COURT BUSY.

Remington has occupied the stage of court action in Jasper county this week, and one culprit was given $3 and trimmings while the other was turned loose. One of the Vallnskls. of south of Remlgton, bought a ticket to Montlcello Saturday of Panhandle agent Coleman. As near as we can learn he discovered some time later, perhaps after he got to Montlcello, that he was $6 short, and on his return, accused. Mr. Coleman of short-changing . him. The latter denied it, and said that his accounts did not show any overplus, Which would have been the result had he made the mistake—for no one who knows Mr. Coleman would believe for a minute that he would intentionally short-change any one. Vallnski was mad, however, and assaulted Mr. Coleman, striking him three or four times. He was arrested and fined $3 and costs. Gub Meyer was arrested and put in the town lock-up Monday night charged with drunkeness. He had his trial Wednesday and the evidence was cross-wise. The high court of Carpenter tp., however, thought Gus had the best of it, and told him to go free, and now Gus is talking about suing the town for damages.
