Lockman, George Lockridge, B. F. Rogers, J. F. Sparks, William Walker, Louis G. Hoopes,and Jameson Thompson. THIS MORNING. The morning session was almost en tirely devoted to a wrangle participated in by several members of the bar. The plaintiff filed an affidavit asking for a removal of the cause to the Uni States Federal Court. The defendant objected to the removal on the ground that the motion came too late. The court over- ruled the demurrer and the case will therefore be taken to Indianapolis and tried as if it was origin ally instituted there. During the debate Mr. Mack charged Mr. Blake with carry ing away some papers from his office and taking a snap judgment. Mr. Blake retorted and Mr. Mack renewed the charge and pursued the former over to his seat on the north side of the court room. The court made several ineffect ual attempts to preserve order and finally, in a fit of desperation, assessed a fine of $10 against each of the “senior wranglers.” Then white winged peace again reigned.
