Inconsistency on the Hog Matter,

Mr. Bailey, in the poor farm investiga-
ton, testified that he sold Krell two hogs
at At cents when the market price was
only cents. And Krell testified: II
paid At cents when the market price was
only cents. / bought two little
pigs from Mr.. Bailey Mr. Kerr said they
were worth about $3.50 each. paid Sc
for them"
Now, it would seem, to most people, that
a man who is as anxious to make and save
money as Krell is must have some very ex
traordinary reason for paying At cents
when the market price was only cents
and paying SO each for little pigs which
were worth only $3.50 each. But thu
Union supplies the reason as follows
"Mr. Krell said that his preference 70
hogs from the poor farm was because Ia
knew Mr.. Bailey fed them we'll and clean
ly." Isn't that rather 'thin?" Is th
Union quite sure that Krell mad no othe
reason for preferring hogs from the count
| farm?

Staubach, voluntarily delivered himself in
to the hands of City Marshal Halves, and
proposed to 60 to Jail and await the re-

that the sheriff duty was to hold him af.
ter the result Of the coroner's inquest was
known; and knowing that it was not nee
essary for him to act further in the case;
and knowing that the next step would be
the examination of Van Meter before two
justices who would have power to discharge
him, or hold him to bail. or commit him
for trial, as the case might warrant; know.
ing these things, Coroner Knox made out
