Morris, Dayton, Wash. Notwithstahd-
ing the bard times, the GLoBE's sub.
scription list Is steadily increasing. II
you don't read the GLoBE you don't get
the news--is the verdict Of all intelIi-
gent people.
Geo. w. Goode left Saturday for his
home at Moscow, Idaho. He had in
tended to stay here until after circuit
court, but informed us that owing to
some important legal work which re-
quired bis presence at home he could
not afford TO stay. The cases here for
which he was attorney he has turned
over TO Ellis, Dawson Il Lyons.
Val Wheeler made application before
the county court this week for appoint
ment to the position Of county surveyor,
but owing 10 his term as assessor not
having expired yet he could not hold
the two positions. After his work as
assessor is over In couple Of weeks he
expects to resign that position and at
the next term OF court he will then
doubtless receive the desired appoint
ment
One Of the bullets fired by Jas. Barn
ard, either the one that went through
Hamilton's body or that missed him,
struck the Brown house about 100 yards
away, In which Ed Dunn was at work
at the time. Ed did not know it for
couple Of days after, when he found the
bullet on the floor and the hole made by
IL through the 3-inch wall. 1t almost
buried itself in partition board and
then dropped to the floor.
AS per notice Of the school clerk there
was meeting Of the citizens Of this dis
trict Saturday todiscuss the advisability
Of bonding the district to pay off the in
debtedness and for school purposes.
One thousand dollars was the amount
agreed upon for the bond, and the mat
ter will be voted upon as per notice
posted by the clerk, at the school house
on Sept. 10Th. The polls will be open
from 10 o'clock p. N. The indebted
ness Of the district is about $500, and the
balance will be used for school purposes.
The resignation Of J.. =. Lucas, whose
term as director wonld expire year
from next March. was accepted and w.
IS. Myers was unanimously elected TO
fill the unexpired term. The directors
have agreed upon Oct. Let as the date
for school to commence here The
teachers have not yet been selected,
however.
The recent session OF circuit court was
the shortest ever held in Morrow county.
Not an indictment was found and con-
sequently there we're no criminal cases.
The principal case OF interest this
term Of court was that OF j. G. Hayes,
populist, and q. w. Harrington, repub-
lican, election contest, Mr.. Hayes elaine
ing that he was rightfully elected sheriff
Of Morrow county instead Of the present
incumbent. Geo. w. Harrington. The
case came before the court Tuesday, the
attorneys for the defense demurring to
the notice Of contest. The matter was
argued on Tuesday afternoons and on
Wednesday morning Judge Bradshaw
sustained the demurrer and thus ended
the case. There were rumors Of appeal,
but the Gazette does not know whether
or not the case will be taken 10 the
supreme court. AZ we have said before,
1t is very difficult matter to take away
the votes of citizens honestly cast and
counted, though there are few irregu-
larities. --tiazette.
County conrt adjourned Thursday Of
this week. Since Friday the members
OF the court, assisted a portion OF the
time by W. w. Kennedy, Sheriff Will
cox aud John Lyons, drove stakes and
graded the new road down the canyon
to Thirtymile, which has been ordered
opened by the court. The work will be
let to the lowest responsible bidder, and
such notice will appear in next issue of
the GLoBE. The opening Of this road
will be the grandest improvement ever
made in the county, for the small
amount OF money it will take, and will
prove blessing to all freighters and
teamsters who have been obliged to
hanl up that horse-killing hack bone
hill. II will not only make it almost a
level road from Thirtymile, but will also
shorten the distance several miles on
the main road to Condor and Arlington.
Wood-haulers will also find 1t to their
advantage to come around that way
from the timber. The old road will lie
left open, just as It is, so that in case Of
SNOW drifts or washouts in the canyon,
travel can be done over old road. 1t is
expected that work on the new road will
be commenced within month from now.
