In a recent item from Justice Learn
ards court it ives stated that George and
Frank Fyfar were acquitted OF the
charg e Of stealing hogs from some Be-
hemians. The crime alleged was steal
ing logs, instead OF hogs, and the Fyiar
brothers feel a wholly Justiiiable obiec-
ton to the substitution of q letter s'h'' for
q letter 'ti"in the account Of the case.
AS they were acquitted the incident
does not carry with ii any injurious
consequences. Still it is more humili-
ating to be charged for the moment
with stealing hogs when it should have
been logs.
Genera al Beadle yesterday closed the
war history course nthe public schools
with an interesting and instructive dis
sertation upon the results OF the war.
