Division Court was held Monday zbefore Judge Widdifield There fivere only a couple of cases of importance. Sam. Patterson is in trouble.

The articles Sam has are all good, and he’s at a loss to know whether he stole the other fellow’s apparel or. the other felé low stole his. He doesn’t seem to‘ think there’s much difference in the value of the articles exchang- ed, but he would like to trade back as the coat he has now is a little large for him, and he fears that the-coat he used to have is a little small for the other fellow. As some time elapsed before Mr. Patterson made the discovery, it is, quite possible the other party to the trade hasn’t found out yet. If the reader of this item h..s a light-colored Waterproof. We would just ask him to take it by the collar, turn the inside towards himself, lift up a loose inside flap iust below the collar, and .if he sees Sam Patterson’s name there '-he hasn’t his own coat. No, it’s 'Patterson’scoat he has, and it’s Quite likelythe one Patterson has is his. If the two culprits get to- gether, they’ll be able to settle the “-matter without trouble.
