A paper had been coming to Thompson, who had failed to notify .the publisher that he had moved. Robinson accepted the paper without protest, thinking all the timé that Thompson was the guilty party. But the editor “got wise” and started after Robinson, who said he never subscribed and declined to pay. The judge questioned the defendant, who acknowledged receiving the paper and then judgment was given for the plaintiff. ______________ Dubois county Democrats held their primary Thursday.
