book was In his own possession most
of the time and was largely kept In
his own hand writing. His explain
alton of the second note is that he
signed 1T with the idea of trying to
get statement from the plaintiff in
the near future. His testimony as a
whole Is inconsistent, and very in
definite. He simply does not know,
or does not remember what took
place or how the account stood. He
was the only witness for the defense.
On the other hand there is the
prima Jdcie evidence of the notes
themselves; the entries In the ranch
book; the signing of the second note
without objection and not, on de-
PENDANTS own admission, for mere
accommodation year after the first
one was signed. There is also the testi
mony of the plaintiff that settle
ment was made and statement of
account rendered at the time the
first note was signed, showing
balance due OF the amount of the
note, and his uncontradicted testi
mony that the defendant made no
objection to signing the note,
lAdb Ho AdQ pIOmiooQ SEVERAL
times afterwards to pay it, on one
occasion promising definitely to pay
S25 a month, but that he had ex-
planned his failure to pay by pro-
Tossing inability to do so, and had
asked for time on the expectation of
being able to pay out of some pro-
perry that was TO come to his wife
from California. There is also the
uncontradicted testimony of +. W.
Macfarlane, to whom the note had
been given for collection, that de-
PENDANT had promised to pay some
thing out OF his wages on account of
the note, and that he never claimed
that he did not owe the note, al
though he disputed the amount of
some particular items IN the account.
We do not know what led the jury
to render the verdict they did, but it
would appear from the decision of
the trial judge that they may have
placed too much Importance upon
certain discrepancies between the
books of the Union Feed Company
and the ranch book.
The order granting a new trial
must stand and the exceptions are
overruled.

Having now arranged for
the insertion of the Process
photos on the HISTORY OF THE
REVOLUTION of nearly all the
social and political bodies
connected with the Revolut-
ion we feel that there is nobody
that deserves to be placed
more highly on record than
those citizens that at great
inconvenience banded them
selves together to protect life
and property during the
stormy days of the formation
of the Provisional Govern
ment, and have decided to de-
vote a series of pages to the
officers and privates of the
National Guard and Citizens
Guard. Some thirty or forty
names have already been sent
in and we shall be grateful if
any member desiring to ap-
pear Will send word to Mr..

office when he will imme-
diately call and furnish full
particulars.
Early attention to this is
requested as the pictorial
pages to the History must
positively be closed next
