work under what they supposed was

Fi-her and themselves, and had ex-
pended large amount of money in
opening the quarry, and had gotten
out good many perches Of rock, be.
fore the written contract was ready
to sign; and when the contract was
taken to Mr.. Fisher he refused to

they we're not to go to work until the
contract was signed. This entails
quite heavy loss upon the contract
ors both in time and money.
