If the song, "Hot Time iu the Old Town Tonight," liad made lts appearanee slnce Momday there would be no question but wbat the author reoelved bis lnspiration fraai the "hot time" which the attorneys bad in a l.nvsuit at Rawsonville yesteiday. The shattered and wrecked buildings of that quiet retreat have stood many a storm but never suca a blnv. All day long and until late in the evening the streets resounded, and the woods sent back the eehoes from the thunderous tones of Captain Allen and the ponderous thoughts of tlie Hon. ('liarles Whitnian of Detroit. The suit started originally betwean the Wayne and 'Munroe Insuranco eompany and O. Dentón, of Sumpter, but the jury will no doubt nnd for one oí the two opposing counsel, as riii'ir past üistory was a little more iompletely aired thau that of the controversy over which the tro-uble began. Dentón wanted to recover his insurance on a house that liad burned on his farm recently, while the compa-ay contended that Dentón set fire to he building.

He did the finest job ever reeorded in Wayne county and was heartily applauded. Puring the process of annihilation he incidentally remarked, in a sweet soprano voiee that could be distinctly heard at the city hall in Detroit: "I nevev trled to 'bully, browbeat or "bribe any jury." "Xeither did I," shonted the excited Wliitmaa. "Yes you did, by God," retorted Uncle John Barlow, and the entlvusiastic audience shouted the.r approval. The jury, at a late hour last ni?ht, had not sufficiently recovered to report on the rnerits of this wind-jam ining centest but they are mamontarily oxpected.
