The journal last week, finding
Itself in deep water en- the county
finance question, failed to answer
Sheriff Shaw's article with any ar
gument, but tried to bluff the mat
ter with ridicule and abuse of the
Sheriff, Just like they did the Ar
Gus. They accused Mr. Shaw Of
INDUCING in personalities, and
then proceeded to grieyously sin in
the same manner, trying to answer
him, like the Devil rebukIng sin.
It's Jimmy to hear the pot calling
the kettle black. On with the
fight. Let the Sheriff be uncon-
fined and see who's Waterloo it
will be.

There was a right interesting law.
suit in the Justice Court here last
Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Strawser,
wife Of Allen Strawser, the muir.
derer, was suing Sheriff Shaw for
money due her for work done at the
jail. 1t seems the Sheriff took her
in to hls family to let her be near
her husband and gave her work. He
claimed he was to pay her 81 so per
week and offered that amount, but
she refused it and sued for $500
per week. The jury gave her a
verdict at $500 per week. p. j..
Crogan appeared for the Plaintiff
and the Sheriff conducted his own
defense till he got beat, and then
he employed Henry q. Hyde to try
and get a new trial, but tho Justice
refused to set aside the verdict Of
the Jury.

to the greater facilities which exist for
getting away. A warrant was issued
for him the day following his departure
He has recently come to the surface in
Chicago as the owner OF Mexican
mine, the pet of society, the lover Of
five young ladies of the pension de-
partment who had come on an excur-
sion to see the worlds fair. He robbed
two of them while carrying their hand
bags on excursions to the theater and
about the worlds fair grounds, and
trifed with the affections of the gum
tette. He was not suspected OF the
theft until after the residence of a
society gentleman with whom he was
stopping had been robbed of money and
jewels. This conjunction of robberies
brought Mr.. Bassett under the sus-
picion of the police. The young ladies
could not be made to believe IN his
turpitude until a clearing house associ-
alton had been organized among them
and the drafts drawn by the engaging
Mr.. Bassett upon their separate affec-
tions had been brought in for their
joint inspection. All agreed that Mr..
Bassett was not only unreliable in love
matters, but they were convinced that
he was thief.
Inspector Bonield and his men are
trying to establish communication with
him, but to date there is no circuit and
the wire doesn't work.
