we have seen of how men will go to law
In small matters In order to vindlcate q
| principle, or som ething else: about q
year ago one citizen caused the arrest
and arraignment OF another In Judge
Savage's court, for calling plaintiff "a
white eyed cayuse' with few cuss words
prenxed. A jury brought In the yer.
dict, no cause for action. Plaintiff had
given security for costs, but through
threats OF an appeal 20 the circuit court
the county was persuaded to pay the
cost. Through some difference ot opln-
ion as TO who should have tho cost, the
constable had the plaintiff arrested for
drawing his county warrant. lie was
tried and discharged In Justice
Humphreys court nc Albany. Next
came an old gentleman and brought civil
action against his neighbor for wages OF
one or two days work, q borrowed chain
and some wagon hire. He got his chain
retarned and part OF the amount sued
for. Next some sawmlll men claimed
that one OF their hired men had traded
their dne Arabian marc. which was
'cultus' and brought action against the
poesessor OF the mare 10 recoys Z property,
but the papers being irregular the case

In succession TO bring civil action against
another 10 recover 20 past urake on q colt
but all three efforts utterly failed 20

Crazy fool.
An ERROR IN figuring the totals In the
assessment roll gave Linn county largerI
net value OF taxable property that Il Is en-
titled 10. The correct figures are S6,74i,-
844, which Is an increase of $7sI,SI6 over
last wear. A good showing, thpugh not as
big as reported. 1t will still give Linn
third place. The tax levy will probably
be made next month, on the figures given,
and will, 1t Is thought not be increased
very much over last year, If any.
