that they possess the confidence of the
business, and commercial would

this great and patriotic leader is the
only possible chance OF triumph for

VISION holfs that section 1865, the twentv.

me state is neither, but a body polite:
states that the accused had the money in

of the two men took place in Hanson

Abel Stafford, living near Scotland, was
much surprised the other day, and he had
reason to be. Five children, the oldest of
whom is 7 years old, arrived on the train
from Eureka, to live with their uncle, al
though Mr.. Stafford had received no pre-
vious notice of their coming. 1t seems
that their mother died near Eureka and
their father thinking them too much of a
burden sent them to their mothers brother,
who was too kind to turn them away or
send them back to their unnatural father,
so he secured them comfortable homes
among his n%eighbors, taking one of them
himself.

Huron Aldermen Fined 500.

Judge Campbell fined j. NJ. Jarvis, d.
W. Smith, f. NJ Thomas and Geo. Groves,
aldermen OF the city of Huron and A. w.
Wilmarth, city attorney, each 500 for con-
tempt, in default of which a penalty of
thirty days in jlil was attached. The
contempt consists OF receiving money on
city warrants after the treasurer was in
joined from paying them. The court held
that inasmuch as the treasurer was en-
Joined from paying out money on warrants
those receiving it participated in the con-
tempt. Ii the courts decision was fol-
lowed out in all eases instead of in a few
there would be no less than 200 people
subject to a fine or Imprisonment, as fully
that lumber have received money or war;
rants in the same manner as the defend
ants in this case. The persons fined are
not worrying much over it, as they believe
the supreme court will set the decision
aside. Mayor Myers, who was acting
treasurer when the monies were paid, is
out OF the state, and no service could be
made upon him. The people generally
believe, however, that Mayor Myers knew
what he was doing when he cashed the
warrants, and that matters will be salts
factorily settled when he returns.
