Some of the local scribes on the city pa
pers are voicing complaints against certain of
the county officials, whom they accuse of
Withholding news" from them and giving
the same to the ~rustlers on the other papers.
These officials should be more considerate
and try to help out these enterprising Young
men in their laudable endeavors to get an
occasional item, for it must be rather dis
couraging to them to see their papers 90 to
press day after day without u single item of
good, legitimate news.

where they had sold the grapes. The fruit
was recovered and an Information lodged
against the thieves, who are supposed to pe
Seymour and Lee De Mors, two brothers
living in this county. They have skipped
out, but will be arrested as soon as found.
Constable ClatterSuck recovered the stolen
property in very short order.
Mr.. Buerdorf, who resides at No. 222
Second street, heard a noise in his house
about Q o'clock yesterday morning, and
thought it was his sister. He asked what
was the matter and heard some one run half
way down the stairs and fall the rest of the
way. He rushed out into the hallway lust
in time to see the form of a man disappear
ing through a window. An alarm was given
but the fellow escaped. Nothing was missed
from the house, and it is probable that the
burglar was surprised before he had time to
Investigate the premises thoroughly.
Fridays fire near the transfer was caused
by carelessness with gasoline. Mrs. Wilson.
the tenant of the property, desired to to ex-
terminate "a lot OF hen lice in the barn, and
procured five gallons Of gasoline for that pur-
pose. She distributed the infamable fluid
over the interior walls, and said good bye to
the vermin. She then proceeded to rake up
some rubbish around the building and set il
afire. That was all that was necessary, and
in in a few seconds the hen lice had departed
this life. Prompt ~eXertion on the part of
neighbors was all that saved the surrounding
buildings.
The case Of Contractor ]. A. Murpby for
assaulting Reporter Westcott, of the Herald,
was called in Squire Schurz' court Yesterday
afternoon. Attorney Liudt prosecuted the
case for the Herald company. After hear
ing the testimony of witnesses, the court
fined the defendant $40 and costs. 1t was
rather an unusual sight TO see the prosecut-
ing attorney in the case urging the court to
remi; the fine, after working HARD to have it
imposed, and also advising the defendant to
CiuSc w pay VIC hiS, uTBluR uS IL reason
that the Herald scribe was to blame for ex-
asperating Murphy. The court has not yet
decided whether or not to remit the fine. AS
the case stands, it is about the same as
would have resulted from an immediate
trial in police court for disturbing the peace.
A couple of days ago DIR. Seybert and
Charley Stebbins went out to Big Lake on a
hunting expedition. AS the pair were cross
ing the lake a large mudhen rose with a ire
mendous noise. Tn doctor thought 1t was a
wild goose and swung around his gun in a
hurry, but he was somewhat excited and the
whole charge tore through the bottom OF the
beat. The water poured in rapidly and the
nearest land was made. The only thing left
to do was to walk two aud a half miles
through the mush TO their starting point.
The story would probably never have gotten
out but doc" had on his S14 pants and he
had to call on his friends to help him mourn.
AS the present gas charter expires ON the
I'd of February, 1889, it is time that the city
council was taking some steps in the way of
advertising for a new plant. The present
system Of robbery has been going on long
enough, and should not be tolerated q day
after the expiration of the charter. Other
companies are already in the field, and de-
sire to furnish gas for the city ut reasonable
rates. Their propositions should be care
fully considered, and means devised for re-
lieving the people of the present burdensome
price. The question of granting the new
