Kuhn, who lives near Mount Holly
Springs, sold a dog to James P.
Martin, a barber of this place, quite

rejoiced in the ownership of the
canine until George Snyder, a resi
dent of Mount Holly Springs, came
along one day, saw the dog and said
It was his.

and he brought suit against Kuhn
before Justice of the Peace Eckles
here, alleging false pretense. The
hearing was held yesterday, after
Consable J. T. McCoy had found
Kuhn and served the magistrate's
warrant on him.

convince the. justice that the dog
did not belong to Kuhn and he was
ordered to pay Martin the price of
the animal. Then the dag was given
into the custody of Game Protector

hadn't paid a license, was the real
owner. Stoner will get the dog when

UNION MAY FREE
MEN BY PAYMENT
Thought in Franklin County
$2,461.64 May Be Paid For
Convicted Strikers
Cliambersburg. Pa., Nov. 15.
Following the opinion of Judge Gil
lan, in which he deolined to remit
the fines and costs amounting to
$2,461.64 imposed on the 50-odd
Waynesboro strikers now serving jail
sentences here, It was said the union
to which the men belonged would
try and pay the sum between now
and next Tuesday, on which day their
sentences expire. In default of pay
ment the convicted men will be
obliged to remain in jail 90 days
longer.
The men were convicted under five
cases, Nos. 45 to 49. The men of
each group must pay that group bill
of fines and costs in toto in order
that any may go free. Fo instance,
in No. 45—the so-called Greencastle
riot case—there were 31 men con
victed. Some of these have prop
erty and are able to pay tlietr share,
but in order that they may be free
the whole bill of $1,047.37 must be
paid. And thus It is with every
group. A number of the men were
convicted in several cases. John Doe
and his fellows in case No. 46 may
be able to pay their fines and costs,
but John Doe, also convicted in case
No. 4 7 would be held if the fines
and costs in No. 47 were not paid
in full.
One of the strikers came to jail
in his automobile. He also owns
several properties. Obviously he can
easily pay his share of the costs and
his fine, but until the bill for his
entire group is paid he will have to
remain in jail, according to the law.
Occasionally people in jail, unable
to pay fine and costs, "serve out"
this by staying in jail for 90 days.
It is pointed out, however, in this
case that the serving of 90 days
might not free a group, as long ns
any member of that group was sot
vent—was able to pay.
