A jack train passing along n cliff
near the Newman the other day

feet heavenward. The packers looked
expecting to see their animal broke in
three or four sections, but he got up

Noticing an item in this mornings
issue of the Epitaph, chat there was
considerable talk of charges of q seri-
Gus nature against certain county
Official" being INDUCED in. We
started our detective reporter out
with the command that he investigate
the matter, and if it was true, to get
his name and we would show him up
to the public as he deserves. But
after q fruitless search of over half q
day, he failed to find any person who
had heard anything about it, or who
had even heard it spoken of, 20 We
have come to the conclusion that the
item was conceived in the fertile brain
of the editor of the Epitaph, whom
we would advise to give the name of
the party, and not throw out . dark
insinuation, that places all the county
officials in serious light. 1t is not
right, nor neither il it proper treat
ment of such an efficient corps of
officers as are now in Office in Cochiss
county.
