Philo, a farmer living up in the Abingtons, and the jury gave judgment in favor of Philo, but a new trial has been granted. Titman’s auto struck Philo’s wagon up at “the Notch” and wrecked the outfit. Titman wasn’t in court for the reason that his lawyer, Richard Holgate, Esq., “had long since disappeared from the county” and Titman had not been notified the case was ready for trial.

[Walker has been accused by the ministers of the town of selling liquor to minors, violating the Sunday law, and keeping a disorderly house]. Judge Little said he would not be justified in revoking the hotel’s liquor license. The violations occurred prior to the 1914 license. He was convinced the hotel was run carelessly, but was a case for a jury.  He continued rule till August term to allow petitioners, if they desire, to bring an indictment.
