sponse.
"Don't you call me nobody" retorted
Ward, II licked your brother this morn
ing and can lick you and your whole
family"

was alleged, Wetsil interpoiated.
A fight followed, and Morecraft got the

The charge of the Court to the jury was
laconic. twas this
''If it is fair fight everybody is

MORE MONEY FOR COURTS.

County Collector Dugan claimed that
the amount allowed last year for courts
would not be sufficient, and at his request
1000 was added. No particular reason
was assigned for increasing the estimate
for Court House and jails Sc, 900, but it
was done. The reason why the appro-
priation for election expenses was in
creased from $7,000to $4,000, it is claimed,
was because thirty new precincts had been
added to the list; and the increase in ad-
vertising and printing was made because
this year there are but two official papers,
and it is proposed to have five or six for
the ensuing year. 1t is proposed to pay
s., 900 for advertising and $1,000 for print
ing for the Courts. The
$S 800 given the Health Board
does not increase the amount
wanted, for this was paid this year out
of the incidental account, which is de-
creased The Finance Committee ac-
count for the $1,000 increase for repairs to
bridges and culverts because two new
bridges will have to be kept in repair.
They must be wonderful bridges to re-
quire this amount the year they are built
The above figures, the members of the
committee said may be changed at the
meeting to be held Monday morning, but
it is safe to say that if any changes take
place they will be very slight and will not
change the total amount very much.
