The performance of all who took part
in the entertainment "Cradle Songs of

well. -

In the case of Hery Smith vs. Day
Bros,, a verdict waB brought in in favor
of tbe defendants.
The Oregonian say a :
' "During the progress of the trial,
Judge Bennett, of The Dalles, one of tbe
attorneys for the plaintiff, attempted to
cross-examine Colonel Day in a rather
unceremonious manner. In return, the
latter fired back such a volley of tech
nical questions that the guns of the
cross-examiner were promptly silenced.
Judge Bennett was unusually severe in
the examination of the witnesees for
the defense, and Colonel Day made the
experiment of having the judge take a
little of his own medicine, knowing full
well that the retaliation would come
when it came to addressing the jury."
In his peroration to the jury. Judge
Bennett hod his turn, nd pictured the
main plaintiff as occupying a high nitch
in tbe glorious hereaf tet , pendant upon
the bent end of a fleecy cloud, while the
colonel was way down in the basement
directing the operations of the stokers
of that department.
Colonel Day, after the verdict had
been rendered, said that when he bad
assumed control of the thermometer
business in the lower region, be would
have tbe satisfaction of having a Wasco
attorney realize-there was a hot time in
(he old town that night.
