gave nice entertainment Friday night
at the NJ. L. church. The only thing
10 mar the happiness of the occasion

after his arrest and he says Jim Law
renee, of Kiowa, Claimed to be Bain's
agent and gave him authority to cut and
sell the timber. He further states that
about forty others are as guilty as he is.
d. NJ. has always been considered one
of our best citizens and we can't be-

charged With until We are convinced by
testimony. We understand others will
be arrested on the same kind of charges

days, Notwithstanding the great effort
10 the contrary, and then there will be
another change after the 4th of March.
