The novel charge OF stealing q
house and the furniture it contained,
together with a sheep corral, load
of hay and other sundries, and cart
ing the whole business away, was
preferred against man. In Wallar
Walla, Wash, the other day. lie
was formerly a resident of that town
and year ago he took up ranch
adjoining a sheep farm in Yakima
county. The owner of the farm al
leges that during the absence of his
men the accused tore down the house
and the sheep corral and removed
them together with the household
furniture, a ton of hay and other
things to his farm, on which he re-
built the house, putting the furni'
ture into it. The accused says it is
plot to get him out of the country
the sheepman wanting the water on
his farm.

Digging i'm Ross Park Likely to

Reveal the Remains of the Dead.
Now that the work Of excavation
of the city hall foundation in Ross
park will be commenced in the near
future, observes Grit, it has been
suggested that the digging will in all
probability bring to light the bones OF
the bodies that were buried there
when the plot was graveyard
Back in the late sixties all bodies
were ordered removed from this PLOT
of ground and relatives of these dead
who were buried there had what re-
mained of the bodies Of there friends
removed to other cemetries. How
ever, the work of transfer was far
from complete, for years afterward
human bones were dug from the
earthl at different points .of the
"park." When the excavation for
the police Office was made a number
of skeletons were discovered, hence
the belief that-the extensive digg-
ing which will be required for the
city hall foundation will reveal other
long buried bones.

The Supreme Court Of this state
in late opinion say: "That if an
engineer on railroad engine in ap-
preaching a point where it is his
duty to sound whistle, as required
by the statute, observes nearby on
a highway man struggling with a
team of horses hitched to a wagon
and can see from the surroundings
that sounding a whistle will make
the team unmanageable and greatly
endanger the team and man, it is
his duty to desist until the danger
point is passed, or if necessary to
stop the train, and if he does not
but neeedlessly sounds the whistle
and permits the team TO escape caus-
ing them to run away, the company
is liable for the injuries inflicted"

Blatherskite of the Dushore Re-

Blatherskite of the Dushore Re.
vieso says we are robbing the County
Treasury. Hal ha what a con-
summate idiot this man must be.
Why, the editor Of the REPUBLICAN
is the only person who ever donated
the county with a present the size
of a $97 bill. 1t was hard earned
too, but we gave it without a MUIR
mer, other than stating the facts OF
the case. We can truthfully say
that we have not received our just
dues from the county, let alone rob-
bing it, but had the matter been lett
to the voters of Sullivan county, we
are assured that we would have re-
ceived every cent of our bill-$97
for printing the November tickets.
Suppose that each citizen of Sulli-
van county would donate likewise,
Blatherskite included, why the result
would be the present economical
board of county commissioners could
erect superfine court house. VI
course we can't blame Blatherskite
for resorting to lies and the like.
He is being hit on all sides and the
poor fellow must be out OF sorts.
Some people in his place would hate
themselves to death, and we often
wonder how he pulls through. For
instance here is rumor-subscribers
are discontinuing his paper, his Job
work is going elsewhere, the papers
of the county are squeezing him to
the wall, and the kids are calling him
Blatherskite across the street. This
is an unfortunate position to be in
and for our part we are willing for
Blatherskite TO resort to most any
thing for relief.

SOLE LEATHER TRUST.


BosToN, March 22.-The sole
leather combination is to be trust
in the fullest sense of the word and
will be prepared for business before
the summer dull season arrives.
The capitalization it was decided
by the promoters to-day to make
$75, 700, 900 in view of the extra in
ducements which will have to be
given to some tanners to get them
to turn their business over to the
trust.
Seventy-five per cent. Of the hem
lock bark property of the United
States is now in the hands of the
proposed trust. The greater part
of it comes to them with the tanning
plants of the men who are to enter
the organization, but the rest has
been acquired by one or two OF the
leaders.
This was the first step taken by
the organizers of the trust, and
would seem to be a blow aimed at
the large packers, Armour, Swift,
Hammond and Morris, who have n
big monopoly in the hide business.
The large packers have heretofore
been able to occupy strong posi-
ton with the tanners as to the price
of hides. The Eastern sole leather
houses prominently identified with
the combine are Thomas E. Proctor
& Co., N. W. Rice & Co., Hoyt
Brothers, Day, Wilcox & Co., Hor-
ton, Gary & Co., H. G.. Lapham u
Go. and Fayerweather & Ladew.
