good success hunting chickens. and as a
consequence tables in this vicinity are well
supplied with this dainty article of food.

The citizens of ST. Paul have saloon
keeper of that city, named John Horn.
Well, we have got his brother Bill up here.
If anything, Bill is more 'ornery" cuss
than John-and that is useless. Bill took
it into his Uranium that he would like to
embellish the cuffs and bosom of his shirt
by wearing some jewelry and accordingly
he went into ]. P. H. Morris IA son of G. A.
F. Norris, of St. Paul. room and took Jacks
entire outfit of cuff bottoms, studs, &c.
For some time no clue was obtained, but
finally Horn got short, and went round
several places In town and tried to dispose
of the jewelry, anu finally sold one of the
studs; this was identified and he was ar
rested last Monday, and was bound over
to appear at the term of District Court on
Tuesday, Among the articles of jewelry
which were stolen, is q pair Of diamond
shirt studs, and many other valuable arti-
Giles, but so far no clue has been obtained
to any of the articles except the gold stud,
which he sold.
The cases before the court were disposed
of as follows: The case State of Mime
sofa vs.. Frank caves, was continued until
the adjourned term of court, which will be
held on the first Tuesday in November.
The jury were out all night, but failed to
agree and were, therefore, discharged.
caves was put under bonds of 800 for his
appearance at the next term of court. The
case of Moses Elmer vs. the Board of
Commissioners of Stevens county, was dis.
missed, on motion of County Attorney, for
fatal variance between the account appeal
ed from and the complaint of the plaintiff.
The case of John Noonan vs.. County Com.
missioners, for damages incurred in fall
ing from the bridge over the Muddy creek,
on the Toqua road, was discontinued. Sc
there are now no actions against the coun
ty in court. VIM. Horn was held for tria,
at this term, but owing to no grand jury
having been impannelled, he was not ar
raigned, and will probably be discharged
on writ of habeGs corpus.
Local politics are red-hot at present, thu
principal strife being over the offices o
Register of Deeds and County Attorney
For the former Office the most conspicuou
candidates are NJ. L. Torpey, of Morris
and T. P. Kerr, of Hancock. Msssrs. FL
T. Bevans and G. L. Brown are the con
testants for the latter office. We, of course
have our personal preference for the vari
Gus candidates, and would like to see MI
Torpey retain the position which he nov
fills; as his efficient deputy, Mrs. Torpey
keeps the books in most creditable man
ner, and as it is very essential that on
records should be kept so, we would prefe
to see no change made. AS to Mr.. Bevan
and Mr.. Brown, we do not intend (
make direct stand in favor of either, fo
the reason that the fight against Mr.. Be1
ans may lead to split in the party, an
Mr.. Browns nomination would have
similar effect, and We wish to avoid al
discord and contention, and will therefor
refrain from any action in the matter unit
= after the nomination, when it is our inter
ton to support the regular nominee. OF
reasons for 80 acting are given more full
