The case of the town of Walkerton vs. Grant Tank was tried in Justice Tincher's court last Monday before a large and enthusiastic audience. The charge preferred against Mr. Tank was the obstruction of the sidewalk along the northwest side of his residence lot. The complainant was W. A. Dailey. The latter had been ordered by Mr. Tank, president of the town board of trustees, to remove from the street the stone he had had hauled along his business lot for building purposes. He complied with the order, and । then seeing the alleged obstruction ? i I Mr. Tank’s premises had him arresteo I for blocking the way for pedestrians. ‘ ■ Attorney Martindale, of Plymouth, appeared for the defense and Attorney , Dailey for the prosecution. The debate ; between the two attorneys was rather personal at times and of a very heated nature, each swiping the other, figuratively speaking, in a very vigorous manner at every opportunity. The attorney for the defense contended that the plaintiff had no case, as the sidewalk along Mr. Tank’s premises was not a legal one, there being no record to show that the lines for a sidewalk had ever been established there by authority, and therefore the complaint was without foundation in a legal sense. The prosecution as an j offset to this argument claimed that no record had been kept on the town’s books of most of the sidewalks that had been built since the town was incorporated. The pleas and the examination of witnesses consumed about three hours, the case being turned over to the jury about 1 o’clock p. m. The jury reni dered a verdict against Mr. Tank, who was fined $1 and costs, amounting in all to $18.75. Mr. Tank, however, has decided to continue the case and will file t an appeal for a new trial in the circuit court.

Ross & Brady’s hardware store was entered by burglars hist Tuesday night and robbed of revolvers and cutlery to the amount of about S4O. The burglars entered by a back window, which they opened by turning the catch at the top of the lower sash with a long thin knife or some instrument of a similar description. The goods taken were in the showcases, and from appearances no other part of the store was ransacked. A trunk containing Mr. Ross’ traveling samples of cutlery and other goods es ; caped the notice of the thieves, -The trunk was open and they passed by it in going to the front part of the store. The contents of the. trunk would have afforded them a rich haul, as it contained about S3OO worth of goods.
