Mrs. DR.. Baldwin departed fol
her Joliet, Qll.) home last week,
having gotten most of the doctor S
affairs Strengthened up in good
shape, and leaving some secured ac-
counts in agents hands for collec'
tion, really did very satisfactorily
Mr.. and Mrs. Baldwin's many
friends hope for their success in
the new home, which they will
attain if the doctors's health keeps

An agent representing a Maine
banking firm owning lands near
Colfax, had John Meyer and others
arrested the other day for cutting
hay on said lands. The farmers
have been cutting the hay on these
lands the past several years unmo-
Tested. but this year, without hav.
ing put up notices or done anything
to forbid the cutting, the agent
comes along and even without ask
ing pay for the hay already cut, has
these people arrested charged with
larceny. In cases Of this kind it is
customary for owners to put ul
notices forbidding trespass, which
farmers never fail to respect. If a
farmer or any one else cuts wild hay
when notified not to do so he should
be convicted. That is the law
which attains in this matter.
