Representative Washburn has succeeded
in getting second bill passed through the
Legislature appropriating an additional
$4,000 for the purpose of building a
bridge across the Pomme de Terre river in
the south part of the county. The first
bill introduced asked for $780, This how
ever was scaled down by, the committee,
sixty per cent, viz: 5000. So in order TO
got the sum asked by the county a second
appropriation was successfully engineered,
and in this manner within fifty dollars of
the original sum has been secured Our
people are certainly under obligations to
Mr.. Washburn for his efforts in our behalf
and he is entitled to great credit for the
great interest always manifested in any
matters of public importance entrusted to
his care either by this or any other county
in the district

Died..

On Sunday, November Goth, 1881,
ACHsAH A. beloved wife of JOHN r. Fol-
SOM, aged 49ycars.
The deceased was one of the early set
tiers of Stevens county. Brought up in
school Of stern discipline she was pos
sessed of one of those strong yet sympa-
thetlc characters which have endowed so
many of the courageous pioneers of the
west. Energetic and farsighted, she was
prepared to overcome all but the unyicld-
ing obstacles and those she conquered by
patient perseverance. Her warm and sym
pathetic nature made her an atfectionate
wife and mother, help mete TO her Inns
band, and friend to any who needed a
friend. No sufferer passed her door I'M
cheered. No one ever regretted making
her their friend.
Early in life she became connected with
the Episcopal church and was among the
first in establishing and maintaining the
parish of All Saints. Her religion was Of
the practical kind, according alike with
her rigorous temperament and her active
life. Hers was life in the forefront Of
civilization. Too ambitious TO be idle, too
sympathetic to be chary of appearances;
too busy to be anything but kind and
charitable she left a permanent impression
upon the world. Her death was lingering
and painful, but full of that blessed hope
which robs death of its terrors and pours
heavens own balm upon the hearts of af.
| flictcd relatives and friends. II.

Notice OfiDDeHI,

In the matter of the contest of the cleo
ton of L. H. Wellington to the office Of
county commissioner in district No. 3, by
Michael finnegan, the latter gentleman,
through his attorneys McsSrs. Brown &
Chew, has served notice on the said
Wellington which states in brief that al
appeal will he taken ''to the district court
from the decision made by the canvasing
board OF the 18th day of November, 1881,
after canvasing the votes cast for said
office of county commissioner at the gen
cral election held in November, 1881, in
said county, declaring yon elected to the
said office of county commissioner in said
district" We do not know as yet just
what Mr.. Wellington proposes doing, but
tits very probable that he will raise no
question, on this point however We have
no authority beyond general opinion.

Settled,

The case of VIM. Dragoo against the
village of Morris has been settled or COM
promised. This case was one for DANA
ges to property caused by the laying out
of new street. The street begins at a
point on the railroad track north of ORA
COOS and runs directly south in front of
the new residences of Messrs. Kenner,
Moore, Sutherland and Stanton, to point
where it intersects the Tcqua road. In lay
ing out the street it was found that Mr.
Dragoo's house, barn and large part OF
his fine grove of trees would be on the line
Of the proposed avenue, rendering their re-
moval necessary and entailing some heavy
damage and expense. The council pro
posed to award $4,000, but this was not
satisfactory and an appeal was made to
the district court, but before the case
reached trial settlement was entered
into, whereby the village is to pay $3.50 O(
in lieu of all claims for damages.

Court PTOcocIiHGS.

The present term of court will be an
enormous bill Of expense to this county,
the first two cases alone having cost up
wards of five hundred dollars. We do not
object to this heavy cost however for any
other reason that it might have been
avoided, in part, had the county commits
sioncrs arranged for a stenographer. In
conversation with Judge Brown he said TO
TRIBUNE representative, that if a compe-
tent steEographcr had been employed the
first Two cases would not have occupied
much over a day each. and the calendar
could have been got through within a
week. He estimates the daily expense to
the county at about seventy dollars, and on
this basis, had ten dollars day been paid
a stcnpgrephcr, the cost of the first two
cases would have been two instead of five
hundred dollars. We trust this matter will
receive the attention of the commissioners
and that the necessary resolutions cmpow-
cring the employment of reporter will be
adopted before the court again sits.
Campbell vs. John Landberg, occupied
the attention of the court for three days,
and was '',hc second ringing of the first
bell SO TO speak, the suit having been
tried two years ago and decided in favor
u the plaintiffs. A new trial was
granted and the case was again tried as
stated, and went to the jury Friday morn
ing, when after long dcliberation Il verdict
wac again rendered in favor of the plain
tiff. Campbell, assessing his damages at
81 ,546.65. This trial excited considerable
| interest as the parties 10 the action were
all we'll known residents of this county.
The case was brought to recover the value
of Il stock of goods, purchased by w. II.
Campbell from james MCGOWAN, of DON
nelly, said stock having been sliced and
sold by the sheriff under writs of attach
mcnt. McGowan's creditors claimed
that the sale was illegal and void, and
made with the intent to defraud. The
jury however did not take this view of the
case, as their verdict shows A settlement
Of some kind may be arrived at, but it is
not unlikely that the case may again 60 to
the supreme court.
The second case tried was suit brough,

Climatic I;;rrtS.

Our religious reporter is mad, angry, in
passion got his back up so to speak
and declares he can't dish up high moral
articles, if besides suffering from
the contamination Ct the rest
of the StafT-the dcvil-and the allure
ments always spread for the g,!ilcless and
unwary, he is to be compelled to buck
against the very elements themselves also.
He wont do it, won't try, and unless there
is lctup in the weather he'll go before
one of our city justices aut-borrow lent
copy Of Bob Ingersoll's works. How, he
pertincntly and forcibly asks, is a fellow to
say good things when iog makes him
feel as if two dollars a day and board
wouldn't hire him to be an angel. How
is man going to feel angelic when both
him and the weather take sudden cold q?
he enquiries, adding parenthetically: who
ever heard OF Il angel with nose-rag at
tachmcnt. Then again lie wants to know
if it is not dscouraging, about the time he
gets braced up, like the weather, foran at
mospheric change known as thaw, TO set
in and discumbobuatc everything, again
starting aleak his upper story and making
him almost blow his brains out in his fran
tic efforts to dam uptlc nasal Niagara. He
contends he is naturally good but solcmnly
ayers that i'll his present condition his rcli
gioUs duties are burdensome, irlisome and
dstasteful. because hypocritcal. He
wants 10 get assigned 10 duties of an en-
tirely opposite nature, and so has changed
places with the representative of his satan
ic majesty.
