 Mrs. Lucy Blackstone, widow of the late John Adams Blackstone, who has been seri- ously i'll with Bright's disease, is no better and her death if hourly expected. Monday afternoon Sheriff Nettleton, on complaint of Frank Barker, caused the ar- rest of Patsey Casey and wife for stealing and breach of the peace. The case came up before Justice Zink. The evidence showed
 that they had committed breach of the
 peace, but on the charge of stealing the court
 could find no proof It was shown
 that the woman only took the money and
 had it in safe keeping, so that 1t
 would not be used for drink. The court on
 ly fined them on one count, $7 and costs. Barker, not being satisfied with the proceed
 ings of the court. asked the judge why he
 nolled the charge of stealing. The judge
 said there was no evidence to prove them
 guilty. Barker tAereat became profane, l whereupon Justice Zink committed him to jail for thirty days for contempt
 of court. Sheriff Nettleton had to place
 him in our lookup until his friends had time
 to ascertain from Judge Nnk what he would
 let him out for. The judge said he would
 let him out this time if they would pay $7. It was paid and Barker was released. Arrived Tuesday schooner Phil Sheridan l with coal for the M. I. F. company. - The incessant wet weather is rotting the potato crop badly.
