APPEALS TO THE COURT TO SILENCE ROOSTER Philadelphia Lawyer, in Bill of Particulars, Says His Sleep Is Much Disturbed. PHILADELPHIA, May 29. Charles T. Tull owns a leather lunged rooster which rtias an ambition to pro claim his existence and his superiority over all other ' roosters in clarion tones. Near this rooster's habitat lives P. A. Wilderniutli, an attorney, who is so fond of the rooster that he would have him fried with the keen est delight. And thereby hangs a tale and a law suit, Wilderniutli declares that he had slept in peace in the second story back room of his home for six years until the rooster came. Since then there has been neither peace nor sleep for Wilderniutli. The deponent declares that the rooster starts to announce himself about the time the Wilder niutli is getting his beauty sleep, much to his distress and discomfort. Wilderniutli filed of particulars in the common pleas court, when lie asked a restraining order on the roost er or on the rooster's owner. Ac cording to Wildermuth, the rooster crowed first at 4:45 a. m. Next he crowed at S o'clock, and then at the rate of from 40 to 50 crows a minute. He kept up his greetings to the morn for three solid hours, the com plainant says. The attorney moved his bed to the parlor, which is not intended to sleep in, he says, and he docs not like it. Even there he can hear the rooster, lie declares that he went to Tull and pleaded with him to kill the rooster or banish it, or talk kindly to it and get it to forego the crow until after deponent had negotiated that beauty sleep, but Tull expressed pride in the quality of the rooster's voice and re fused to interfere.
