JUDGE WITH THE ' WISPOM OF SOLOMON tt Money Taken In War Considered Legitimate Salem Journil Tho town of hinyton enmo very near being tho sceno of a bloody row thu other day. wliun Spalding's logging crew struck thu town.. Tuo men had plenty of money imbibed two fn-oly, and a niimber of fights took place. Ouu log ger had another down, and gave him a beautiful pair of black eyes. Whllu ho wasmauline hirn in the face thu man underneath went through his assailant's pockots and got all tho money ho had, a considerable sam. When lit) had tho money ho yelled enough, and got up and treated the crowd, including his assailant. His honor, W. II. Queoner, tho city magistrate, would notcniertalu an action to recover tho money, taking tho position that tho man had a right to ernrch his assailant for dangerous woapony, and remoyothem from his person, ami while he had none, tho money might hu used to purchase come, nnd hu could havo done him great bodily harm. Ho also hold that money taken in thu course of a fluht was not stolen, and could ho re covorod only in tho manner lu which it was takon. Tliero waa more seuau in that decision than in some of .tho decis ions of tho hlghor courts, and thu wholu logging crow sustained the Hon. Bill's decision.
