 TEST BOUNTY SUIT.
 Tn the bounty claim suit brought by Deming X Futile to recover bounty claimed by Mr. Barnes, which was to have been argued in the superior court next Friday, a substitute complaint has been filed by the plaintiff.
 
 filed a demurrer to the original com
 plaint, setting up certain objections. The demurrer was to have been as- signed on Friday next, but the plain tiff's substitute complaint covers all the objections set up in the demurrer, so
 that the case will now proceed to trial and will be pushed as rapidly as pos
 sible.
 As Is remembered, the case is test
 one brought to determine whether or not the bounty claimants can collect war bounties from the towns under the law passed by the last legislature au-
 thorizing them to do so.
