TWO VETERANS OF 1870.
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THEY MET. After figuring at Mars-la-Tonr, Gravelotte, ami lots of similar places ■wlicvo there was strife in plenty in 1870, it might bo reasonably inferred that a man wor.id liavo had enough unpleasantness to last him an ordinary life time. Quito tli® contrary, however, was disclosed in a somewhat amusing ease in tlio Magistrate's Court at l'almerston, where Frank Zimmerman and Anton Max pleaded guilty to resisting a police constable while the latter was in the execution of his duty. Counsel for accused explained- that the two men had fought side by side in the Franco-Prussian War —in what precise engagements was not stated—ami had not seen each: other for thirty years. Their meeting on Saturday had evidently been "a somewhat joyous one." Zimmerman was fined IDs. and Max 20s.
