Watson, tnis morning, granted the custodv of Kendrick Fordice VanOrnam, aged 14 months, to its latner, E. E. VanOrnsm, of Wsterbury on a writ of habeas corpus brought hy the father to coaiLel Mrs. C. R. Campbell of Brainerd street, St. Albans, to surrender the child. The baby was bosrded at Mrs. Campbell's and the father owed upwards of J"i0. She claimed f S5, and obviously believed tbe board was a lien on the infant. "VanOrnam went to St. Albans last Monday with his hrother from Nurthfleld and took the child to the railroad station. Mm. Campbell wss exercised and didn't want to part with the child- An officer appeared on the scene but did not Inter fere as the father declsred he hsd lial advice on the subject and knew what he was doing. "While the father stepped into the railroad station be handtd the child to bis brother who gave it back to Mrs. CampbslL Last night papers in a habeas corpus case were made out and placed in Deputy 1-awson's hands and he came borne on the midnight train with tbe child. "VanOrnam promised to settle ith Mrs. Campbell for the baby's bosrd. al though be insists tbat Mrs. Campbell promised to teks care of it for nothing in order to have tbe child at her place.

"The father takes the child back to Waterbory with bim this afternoon.

Whether catching trout with an un bailed hook by purposely booking tbem while in tbe wster is legal "angling" or illegal "grappling" ia the ponderous ,,u " u.uku- i question tbat bids fair to divide bopelese called to go o, the legal fraternity, tbe laity, perbape - . . r . . - . . . . . tbe court itself. All on account of an in cident in Randolph which bss been threshed out on tbe street corner and in tbe store courts tbe past week without any determination for tba guidance of tbe court of law later. A few days ago, E. A. Heatb, a new comer from Warren, and H. W. Vail journeyed down tbe branch fishing. Mr. Vail was the tempter, and in a lovely pool pointed out a nice lot of trout to Mr. Heath. Then, being Justice ot the peace, it is to be presumed that be turned hi back and had no knowledge ot wbat fol lowed. Tbe subsequent facts, as agreed upon by botb aides in, tbe controversy, are tbat Mr. Heatb strove to entice tbe fish to take hia book; that he strove in vain, tbe trout being engaged in other meditations; and tbat finally, impelled by tbe desire to possess them wbetber-or-no, Mr. Heath proceeded to cast about with a bare hook and actually succeeded in catching the hook into three handsome trout in succession and drawing tbem forth, anwilllng and unwitting victims, and depositing tbem in bis basket. Now In another pool not far away wss fishing in the good old way Joseph Brown, deputy fish and game warden, with tha responsibility of law enforce ment upon him. He bas a pretty good understanding with tbe Sab himself and it Is suspected tbat soma of tbem com plained to him Immediately of the on fair and perhaps unlawful ivatem of the other fisherman. Anyway, be followed Mr. Heath op and demanded bis fish basket. An altercation and a scuttle en sued, during a hich the basket was frac tured. Warden Brown seized the fish and forthwith arrested Mr. Heath for vio lation of the law in taking trout by ille gal means. Then, by some curious slip, be released Mr. Heath from custody, thereby voiding tbe arrest. Tbs question, Was Mr. Heath angling or grappling T was put np to tbe local lawyers, wbo passed it over to State a At torney Wilson. Perhaps by tbia time it is before the attorney-general, and like enough tbe department of Justice at Washington. Tbe law defines angling as fishing with a hook, line and rod beld in tbe band. Grappling is forbidden, but tbe law does not define it, and tbe com mon acceptance of a grapple is a combina tion of hooks with a mechanism that works so as to encircle tbe flsb and hook Into it from different directions. Opin ion is divided. Some say it is an nnfair way to take trout, which ought at least to befooled into biting a hook; while oth ers, wbo have been subject to the same exasperation as Mr. Heatb, aids with bim aud say tt be is skillful enough to yank a trout out by hitching a common flsb book into It be deserves tbe trout. Any way, it is hoped the momentous question will soon be settled, which is dividing the town in factions and feuds, and, with the question of elrctrio lights, absorbs lo cal interest at present. Lakevlew People at Randolph. Rev. and Mrs. George O. Howe have tor their guests four young ladies from Lskeview, N. C. Tbey are all teachers and exceptionally nice ladiea.
