Tim write the figures on both satisfac-
tons at the same time. Prof. Curtiss
had sworn that the same ink was not
used on both satiSfactions, because one
was lighter than the other. Mr.. Jami-
son argued that Prof. Curtiss' opinion
was of very little consequence. He
took one of the satisfactionS, handed it
to the jury. and said:
"Gentlem9n, | want you to look at the
signatures of Mrs. Goodrich, Mrs. Knight
and Notary Hatch OH that document
You will notice that the ink of all the
signatures is not of the same shade-yet
it is an undisputed fact that three
signatures were placed there at one and
the SAME time. and the ink for all came
out of the same bottle. The difference
in the shading is accounted for in the
blottlng."
Mr.. Jamison picked up every bit of
important evidence put in by the prose-
cution and dissecied it in much the
same manner as he did that given by
Prof. Curtis. The argument of Mr..
JamiSon was truly q mastery effort, and
it doubtless had much to do toward
turning the heads of the jurors to &C
Quittal.
Judge Lochren's charge to the jury
was brief and impartial. His instruc-
tions dealt only with the few points of
lawinvolved in the case. The jury re-
tired at 4 80 o'clock, and returned into
court with the verdict of acQuittal
at $40.

Is 1t q Fake 1?

A story was reprinted from the Fargo
Forum in one of the Minneapolis even
ing papers last night giving a graphic
ally vivid description of the palatial
home and grounds to be purchased by
Minneapolis miller in London. The
story, which is probably the outcrop.
ping of some imaginative reportorial
gray matter, goes on to say that
the miller. who has sold his flour
mills here, is DESTROYS of locating in
England, and he is also said to have
cultivated an acquaintance with II. X.
FL. the Prince of Wales. with good pros
poets of being created lord or du Ike or
something else. The fact that big
Minneapolis miller has sold his plant
here is bit of news one must 20 away
from here to learn. The article as it first
appeared was under New York date
line, and was supposed to be special
caDlegram. No one in this city has any
knowledge of any miller who wants to
quit life in the United States to go to
England to live.

The husband sued for the divorce Nov.

Judge Lochren Jan. %, 1892. Deser-
ton was the ground upon which Mr..
Heffelfinger secured the divorce. The
wife made no defense.
Charles A. and Carrie Belle Heffel-

years ago and liven together until 1887.
Soon after the couple separated Mrs.

and continue for nearly two months. In
order to make an accurate assessment
the head of the department will in
crease his wotklng force of clerks

Der was seventeen men. While they
succeeded in disposng of the work des-
