before justice J. D. Pickett. Jr., of Brad

the exchange, in the sherif's absence,
giving special instructions to his wife that
the box containing the Gamer should be
kept in a dry place, to keep the brass on
the instrument from rusting, and that it
should not be opened. On the morning
of the End the box was opened, when its
contents were found to be two specimens
of rocks, and several samples of wood,
cloth, and paper. The artist declared it
