came a cripple for life. Judge Green wa
of counsel in this case before he was pu
upon the bench, and therefore cannot serv,
in his official capacity. The other case to b'
tried at this adjourned term is that of p. c
lvey VS.. Joel Yancey-a suit in eiectment.
Our readers will probably remember
case of eoncealment of birth and infanticid,
near Piedmont mentioned in this paper TIVE
or three weeks ago. Subsequently the cir

where she would be under their protection
Two deputy sheriffs were given warrants
for the arrest of the offending parties anC
told to serve them; but they didn't. The
deputies went all right enough to where The
brothers were at work, but, when the war.
rants were read, the brothers and friend;
pulled their guns" and ran the officers of
the ground. Aud so the matter rests al

master of the situation, with probably an
other chapter or two of the story to be writ
| ten when time and circumstance shall justify.
| Last Wednesday afternoon Judge Dinger
was served with subpoena to appear forth
| with before the grand jury. At the time he
| was served, Mr.. John Begley came up, when
| the Judge said 10 him, 81 now summon YOU
TO appear before the bar of God one year af-
ter my death TO answer for the wrongs you
have done to me-" Mr.. Begiey thought it
all joke at first; but some subsequent re-
marks showed him it was not so intended.
However, he ned his peace and went away.
Next morning, he accoSted the Judge and

him, the Judge, any wrong. The latter re-
piled: 81 again summon yon before the bar
OF God one year after my death. He knows
all about it," He then called Mr.. B. "a
murderer and perjurer," whereupon that
gentleman shook his fit in the Judges face
and struck him a slight blow on the lip,
causing the blood to how-thOugh Mr.. Beg
ley claims he didn't intend to strike him.
Be this as it may, Judge Dinger made COM
plant of common assault before Squire AXE,
and Mr.. Begley plead guilty and paid a fine
of one dollar and co>ts-$I0.15 ali told.
The death Of Mr.. Bernhard l.. Naeger at
Middlebrook Monday was unexpected aad
peculiarly sorrOwful. Saturday evening at
eight O'Clock he was in his usual health, APP
parently; but about eleven O'Clock, after he
had retired to bed, he took a chill and suf-
fered from it three or four hours. That
passed off, and Sunday be wa> better, but
complained of headache. This continued,
and his friends thought he might be taking
pneumonia. They sent for DR.. Strong, who
after examination, administered the usual
remedies. The patient continued in the
same state until eight O'Clock in the evening,
when he was seized with violent fiji, it re-
quiring four men to hold him in bed. He
continually suffered from recurring -pasms
until one O'Clock, when the doctor, who had
again been called, succeeded in relieving
him to some extent. DR.. Goulding was also
called In about three O'Clock in the morning,
and both physicians did all that their skill
commanded for the unfortunate sufferer.
But all was in vain. He died at noon Mon
day-a sad reminder of the uncertain tenure
of life. His death was caused by some dis
ease of the brain-probably induced by con-
cussion, although no one had ever heard
him complain of injury.
The report of the late grand jury is as fol.
lows-"omtting venue and title" as the
lawyers say in their briefs: THAT we have,
according to instructions, made al examin-
alton of the books and accounts of the var
ious county officers having in charge and the
handling of county funds, and find them
correct That we have in body visited the
county Jail, and, after careful and complete
examination into its condition, find it clean
and free from all odors. And, so far as we
can ascertain, it is in good condition to safe
ly keep any prisoners who may be confined
except that on the doors to two of
the cells the locks are rusty and should be
We further report that the privy
attached to the courthouse premises Is
stencil in the uostrils of all who may be call
ed upon to enter it or pass it by. That the
urinal in connection is in poor condition and
exposed to the public view from all sides;
that we believe the present structure is
unfit for the use for which it was intended,
and that it can not be kept in proper condi-
ton. We. therefore, recommend that il be
as soon as practicable, and suit
able structure, with later improved ap-
planes, substituted; and that the APP
proach thereto be made more private. All
of which is respectfully submitted"
Among the cases tried in circuit court last
week, that of Long VS.. Bugg was probably
the most important. 1t came here from
Washington county on change of venue on
motion of the defendant. The trial began |
Friday afternoon, and the verdict was rem
dered about noon Saturday. From the tes- !
timony and otherwise, we gather the follow /
ing as constituting the cause of action: r. /
VI. and J. r. Bugg opiioned their mining /
properties to William Long in June, 1888, for /
SIX months. William Long gave bond for /
deed on this option for SIX months to Ne
Arthur Brothers OF Canada. Option and |
bond expired before sale could be accom-
pli~hed. A renewal was given for six months |
on the same property by the MeSsrs. Bugc.
Price So, 900. 1t was agreed by Bugg and .
William Long that 10 per cent. be added TO
The So, 900 as a commission for selling, TO be
paid William Long-so that it made the
purchasing price $500. The option and
bond expired on June 1t, 1889, and the sale
was consummated July Sd, 1889, to Me-
Arthur Bros. Macarthur Bros. wired Capt.
TamblSn at Potosi on June 23d to have deeds
md abstracts of title ready; that they would
be there on June Goth, 10 close the sale.
Capt. Tamblyn, agent for the McArtbur>.
sent A messenger to CeBtreviie To get SIm.
Bvrns to POtosi to have abstracts made at
,nce. Byrns arrived in Potosi on June 18th,
md completed the abstracts IN time, so that
he McArthurs should be delayed as little As
possible upon their arrival at Potos. Miss
