ell has painted the steeple of the Second
church during the past week. A rope
was carried up on the inside
and dropped through an opening
under the cap piece, and with this the
painter was drawn up in a rack
prepared for the purpose. A long handl-
ed brush was used 10 touch up the orna-
ment on top. As the work proceeded the
rack was lowered and when completed to
the roof, the other side was completed in
the same manner as the first. 80, Jus
tice Myers held court all day Monday aud
Tuesday, closing a little otter 10 O'Clock
Tuesday night, for the hearing ofthe case
of E. F. Rosecrans VS. John Armacher. 1t
appears that the defendant occupies a
farm of 100 acres belonging to the plain i
tiff, which the plaintiff claims is not be-
ing farmed in a good and husbandlike
manner. In defense Armacher claims
that Rosecrans was to furnish tools in
good repair and that this had not been
done. A jury of five, consisting ufAlired
Harris, d. A. Brown, Ezra Burge, Alonzo
CASTOR and B, f. Worcester, listened to
the examination of twenty witnesses by
Attorneys Webster and Bedortha in be-
half of the plaintiff and d. J. 'Nye for the
defendant, during the two days session
and on Tuesday evening listened to the
arguments of these attorneys, and after
an hours deliberation returned verdict
for the defendant, the supposition being
that the tools furnished were not consid-
cred as being according to contract.

Tuesday morning to break his remaining

residence, and accidentally fell of the
load, striking on the ground in such a. way
as to break his arm at the wrist This
completely disables him tor the present.
Drs. Hard and Jones were on hand soon
and dressed the arm and the Judge at this
writing is doing as well as could be ex-
pected. "A Kansas man planted TWEEN

and less for the doctors than il he had sold
the fruit from the vine, he should be
crowned as philanthropist. >. Melville
