the reach OF any stray shots which might
be tlrei where the populace most do con-
gregate, and removed from the noise
and busy life in the center of the
town. The building presents a
good external appearance, and the
sight of such an imposing edifice is
calculated to give the traveller a good i'm
preston of our county and town. The
Court House is about 60xi0 feet in d.
mensions, and two stories high. The
main entrance is in the east end. On
the right of the spacious hall is to be
found first the Sheriff's Office, for which
two rooms are used. Next comes the
office of the Treasurer, and next to that
the office occupied jointly by the Asses
sor and Superintendent of Schools. The
first Office on the left of the main en-
trance is that of the Auditor and Recorder
to whose use two rooms are assigned.
Just at the foot of the stairway the office
of the District Attorney is located, and
beyond that the County Surveyors
office. ascending the stairway the
County Clerks Office is found first. Two
rooms are appropriated for the use Of
that officer. Opposite this Office are the
chambers of District Judge Fuller. Next
to the Judge chambers is the room for the
meetings of the Board of County Com
missioners. In the west end of the ND
per story is the District Court room.
which i'll dimensions is aboat 40y30 feet.
Within the railing which is for the use
of the Court and its officers, there is a
space of about 3Ox20 feet. The building
Is very substantial and having been re-
plastered and hard finished. bids fair to
endure many years. The County Jail is
immediately in the rear, and is strong
building, capable of battling the skill Of
the expert Jail breaker. 1t is two stories
high, and about 80 feet square. The
upper story is occupied by the Jailer-
the lower story for the confinement of
| prisoners. 1t contains three cells. and
an open space about 12X20 feet. At the
main entrance is massive iron door.
which is fastened by heavy lock. The
cost of both Court House and County
Jail is between $75, 900 and $50, 900.
The RAFFLE.-Night before last the
rattle for the house and lot, with the
furniture, late the property of Jesse
Beene, Cedar street, came off at the
Palace Club Rooms. The affair drew
quite a crowd. Umpires and clerk
were engaged, and the whole affair
passed off satisfactorily. When our no.
tlce in yesterdays paper was written
there were two throws of A each, and
one of 40, about tho latter of which, how
ever, there was some difference. 1t was
finally decided that the throw of As was
legitimate, and the thrower of that
amount was declared the winner. The
ticket (No. 2l6) had been purchased by
Sheriff Travis for $245; so he gets the
prize.
S1DEwALKs,-Lacour street is sadly in
need of sidewalk from the Court House
to the Postoffice. Not only the county
officers, but all who have any business to
transact with them, are compelled to
trudge through the mud to reach the
Court House from the business part OF
the town. If we had town incorpora-
ton the owners of property on the route
might be compelled to construct side
walks wherever required by ordi-
nance. AS 1t is, we can only urge the
necessity Of it and appeal to the public
spirit OF the property owners on that
thoroughfare.
AN APPEAL TO TIE GENEROUS. Dennis
Downey, the unfortunate man who re-
Gently suffered the amputation of both
feet, is still in the County Hospital, and
is doing as we'll as could be expected. 1t
is the intention of we'll known gentle
man to start subscription for the pur-
pose of raising the funds necessary to
procure set of patent feet for Downey.
The cost will be about S300, and we are
sure that amount can easily be raised in
Phoebe for so worthy an object.
