efficient officer. He was q candidate for
reelection last fall, but the people of the
county thought that three terms in fat
county office ought to be enough for one
man, and so they invited Mr.. Mitchell
to step down and out. Mr.. Darrah, his
successor, was until recently an attorney
at Bridgeport, and is promising young
man. This change places all otour county
offices in the hands OF Democrats eX-
cept the Sheriff and Probste. Judge.
These two offices are TO be filled at the
next October election, and, with judicious
nominations, the Democrats can sweep
the platter clean. 1t Is but few years
since the Republicans had possession Of
every Office in the county.
IN JAIL.
The case of Miss South VS.. Albert
Stephens, resulted in tie conviction OF
Stephens, and the Court sentenced him
to pay the plaintiff $3.50 and the costs of
the suit, and in default OF payment, to
be confined in the County Jail. Stephens
was unable to pay the bill, and his
father refused to pay it for him or be-
come responsible for its payment.
Therefore Stephens had to go to Jail,
where he still remains. His only escape
from the judgment of the Court, is to re-
main in jail three months, when he can
get out under the insolvent act.

AN IMPORTANT CASE IN COURT.
One of the most warmly contested
cases tried in our courts here has been in
progress since last Saturday. 1t is tie
case of Mrs. James Rinker VS.. Robert
and e. w. Thompson. The defendants
are the executors Of the estate Of James
Thompson, deceased. For some years
before his death James Thompson lived
with the Rinker family. lie (Thomp.

the family of Mr. RInker. The deceased
had property amounting TO probably
Sl2 900, which, as he was
unmarried, goes to his brothers and ss-
tiers. The brothers are Robert and Maj &.

G. w. Thompson, of Wheeling, and Col.

plaintiff, Mrs. Rinker, cues the executors

ing upon deceased while be lived in her
family, and says the amount due her is
about $3.50. The case will probably &C.
cupy the attention of the Court al Of
this week. Owing 70 the prominence of
the parties, the case attracts considerable
attention. EI-Judge Chambers and
Col. J. +. Chsrlesworth are attorneys for
the plaintiff, and Judge Cowen and
Gen. u. w. Hoge for the defendants.
SHOOTING ALTERATION.
George Wilson, of York township, is
confined in the county jsil here, charged
with shooting Albert Barker. The alter
cstion took place IN York township, one
day last week. Barker resides on the
farm of VIM. Graham, and for some
reason was given notice 10 quit the
premises. Barker charged Wilson with
having Instigsted Graham in serving the
notice. Out Of this grew q quarrel and
then s fight, Barker being the attacking
party. Wilson was much smaller than
his antagonist, and, 10 defend himself,
used his revolver Barker was shot
twice, and it Is thought he cannot re-
cover. Tns public seem 20 justify Will
son IN the shooting. Barker has served
term in the peni:en!isry for cutting
another man.
