before Commissioner Emery yesterday on

Statutes and exposed himself to a fine of
500 in Withholding Fred III. Barnard's

complaint, was not able TO give clear
account of the transaction himself. and
nothing was proved against Fletcher, who
was in consequence discharged.
Several weeks ago Barnard, who is o vet
eTan and draws q small pension, came
down from one OF the gold mines in the
Monte Cristo district and made the Gem
saloon has headquarters, lie was in the
habit of drinking deep and long there. To
avoid losing his pension certificate he gave

just before going on pro;raeted spree. A
week or SO after he sen, messenger with
a written order TO get the certificate Ths
saloon man would not give u u.' until s.
bar bill had been pad. Barnard of course
could not draw his quarters pension until
he regained the certificate and could not
Pay the bill. SO he ssore out the warrant
for FietcheF's arrest. IL was served last
Thursday evening. Fletcher gave bonds
and the hearing came of yesterday.
The old soldier told hog the certificate
was withheld from him, and gave al! the
circumstances OF the case rs far as he could
remember. Thea Fletcher demanded in

Daylight didn'tlast arg longer than
the time prescribed in the almanac, and.
after one long, lingering look at the
house across the street, we drew our
curtains and sat down TO talk about
Mrs. Croswalds nice furniture. We
wondered where she came from; II she
was widow or grass widow. We
imagined as much evil as one woman
could imagine about another.
The next morning we had callers who
came To ascertain what we had found
out. Mrs. O'Searly rolled her eyes and
shrugged her shoulders as she came up
tho walk. knew the signal; IL meant:
"Open your ears, my friend, I've heard
something you ought to know" She
took chair just inside the door.
"Them's nice children" she said, as the
three children scampered about the
lawn in the opposite yard. I've found
out their names, Mrs. Mitchell. lIev

my reply she went on: II hain't seen

preceded her TO the house. We stretched
our neclSs this way and that TO catch n

did we see. We looked just as long as
there was any light; we swept OH our

deeply concerned about the gate, that
had been the plaything of the winter
