how the new township officers would act in

longings were realized, and the Court was
formally opened, the case being that OF

held in one OF the spacious rooms OF the
Mining News building, and there was
scarcely standing room, while the throng
crowded the doors. In his testimony the
plaintiff swore that the defendant borrowed
the money as above named, while the de-
PENDANT claimed that plaintiff gave him the

that he should die within q minute or
two, and he wanted to leave message.
The man said he would deliver any mes

many hats were taken of. The dying
man said "Before I die wish to warn
everybody, particularly young men,
against buying clothes at these cheap
shops" He grasped for breath, and con-

got up to run away one fellow grabbed
him by the paper collar and tore it off,
while another kicked him as he went into
