Lynch, of the Superior Court, will have to be called upon to decide between law and rowdy- 1, ism.
 It is quite currently reported, and with some grounds of truth, that the Twelfth Infantry now serving in ArizO- na, Is to go to Oregon, and the Eighth Infantry of California IS to come here, which will make a change of military commanders.

Kautz, should he come here, will be received with open arms by his host of old friends.
