He Stole His Own Wheel

A peculiar oase was recently tried in the village of Wayne and is thus detailed by the Wayne County Review : Spencer Clark, a Cantón farmer, was before Justice Deming Saturday last, oharged with appropriating to his own use his own buggy wheel. Mr. Clark left the wheel with wagon maker Feit for repairs. A neighbor of Clark's having been the cause of breaking the wheel, agreed to pay Mr. Feit for the repairs, but the wagon maker insisted that the wheel should leave Ms possession only on one condition - C. O. D. - and so informed Farmer Clark. The latter, however, on account of some misundertanding, got the wheel from Mr. Felt's shop when Feit was not present, and refused to either return the wheel or pay for it. Clark was convicted of larceny and sentence was suspended. He argued his own case and lawyer Vining appeared for the people. After paying for the repairs on the wheel the defendant appealed.
