THE TYPICAL 'JURoR.-United States
Attorney Lane tells us the following in
relation to his experience in one of the
Iowa courts: GA case in which he had
been retained came on trial second
time, having been through the judicial
mill once and redocketed on error. A
jury was empanneled, and among the
questions propounled to each talesman
was this: Were you juror in this
case before, or do you know anything
about it ?" Each manrof the twelve an
swered no. and the Attorney was about
to pass the jury when his counsel sug-
gested that Que of the jurors had GER
tainly been similarly engaged in the first
trial. Mr.. Lane called upon the sus-
pected man, and inquired if he knew
anything of the case. NO SIR was the
prompt reply. But were you on the
jury when it was first tried?' uueried
the Attorney. The juror responded:
well, now that you speab of it, l be-,
lieve was on ti.at jury but didn't pay
enough attention to the case to know
ANYTHING about it.

RED Willow, Neb., April ID, "a.
Ed. CHIEF AS the time has arrived
for the tide ofimuigratiou to set into
The fsr wsst, permit me through the
columns of the CHrEF, to say a word for
Red Willow county.
This county is situated in latitude 4O'
north, and longitude l0l' west. 1t is, l
believe, the largest organized county in
the Republican valley ; it contains twenty
towns, and is well wsterei by numerous
streams Of pure running water. The
Republican river flows from west to east
through the center Of the county. the
south part being watered by the Beaver
creek, and the north and east by Red
Willow and Medicine creeks; there are
also several smaller streams in different
parts Of the county, al Of which are as
we'll wstered as any in the State.
The sol! is a dark sandy loan, and
produces q luxurious growth of vegita-
ton. Agriculture is yet 10 its infancy,
but it has been fully demonstrated that
corn and email grain can be grown With
success; vegetables Z perfectly at
home in our rich alluvial soil. and it is
believed that fruit will take the front
rank in point Of produc,iveness. Stock
raising is receiving considerable atten-
ton, and we'll it may, for this county,
with its pure water aud abundance Of
rich and nutriticious grasses. for that
business is not surpassed by any in the
West. This winter has been unusually
bard, 50 says the ''oldest inhabitaut,"
about o inches of snow having fallen
but stock have not had or needed any
hay, and are in excellent condition. Any
amount Of hay may be cut along oil
the larger streams, but As has been seen
it is not needed, except for teams.
I came from northern Iowa 70 this
country. and the passed winter is my
irst 10 Red Willow county. As for the
winter being . hard one, it was, to me,
like Q perpetual spring. W. had, from
December LIST to March End, Sc totally
clear, Al partially cloudy, and l3 par
italy stormy days, and but 3 or 4dsys
Of the whole but what it was warm
enough tO thaw.
Society is 10 a healthy condition. and
for energy and enterprise 10 public im-
provement. this county is not excelled
BY any in the west. We have nine Or
ganized school districts, and have recent
ly organized an agricultural society. The
first annual fair will be held at Red Viii
low the coming fall.
The county seat question in this, like
most new counties is . difficult matter to
settle. Indianola at present claims it, it
is however, in litigation, and it remains
to be seen who shall crow and who shall
not.
In conclusion. l would say, that l
think We can offer as good inducements
to the emmigrsnt IS any county in the
valley. Our rich aud beautiful pr~airies,
our excellent water, Our mild and oealth.
full climate, all combine to make . happy
home for al who vii avail themselves of
the opportunity to secure the needed
qusrter-section. All persons visiting the
county for the purpose of locating, will
find it to their interest to call on Mr.
Buck. Of Red Willow who viii furnish
al needed information.

In either case it becomes the duty Of

instance the effort has proved a failure.
From the anti-porcine regulations of
