thur Judson, both dead, and whose evil
dence was read on behalf of the plaintiff
from the same book without objection,
should be stricken out The court prom
ised to decide the question tomorrow.
Another lively fight between counsel
took place. when Mr.. Green with consent
of court, offered in evidence for the de-
PENDANTS, the deposition of Dentist Howe
1t will be remembered that there was
day, over the admissbility of this depo-
sition, which states that Hillmon
had had plate and tooth
made for vacant tooth he had, just be-
fore leaving Lawrence in 1879. For the
second time plaintiff objected to its be-
ing read in evidence, Mr.. Hutchings
hotly asserting there was nothing in it to
show that the man mentioned therein
was John w. Hillmon, and Mr.. Green
stating that such statements were untrue;
that it distinctly stated that the man re-
ferred to was John w. Hillmon, and that
Mr.. Hutchings' only objection was that
he feared its effects. and that it as a
matter for the jury, and not Mr.. Hutch
ings to decide. Finally Mr.. Green offer
ed to have the court read the deposition,
and decide as to whether it did not plain
ly state that the man for whom the plate
and tooth was made, was John W. Hill
mon who was claimed to have
been killed at Medicine Lodge,
the body having perfect teeth.
Mr.. William l. Brown, a farmer of
Douglas county was the next witness
for the defense. He stated that he knew
intimately both Levi Baldwin and John
w. Hillmon from the year 1871 to 1873.
That he lived at Levi Baldwin's when
Rillmon was herding cattle for Mr..
Keller. That in 1872 they traded boots.
That Hillmon wore his, which were No.
Z, and that witness foot had just been
measured, and that it was nine and three
quarters inches in length He further
testified that Hillmon had light brown
hair, sandy moustache and goatee,
and that he remem bered body coming
to Lawrence, and being at Bailey &
Smiths undertaking establishment That
he went to view it, and was satisfied that
it was not that of John w. Hillmon.
Altogether, yesterday was the most ex-
citing day that has occurred in this fam
Gus case, and it looks as though before
the trial is over that there will be many
more such, if not still more exciting
ones, a. the stronger the testimony for
the defense is, the hotter the attorney :
for the plaintiff appear to get.

EUGENE DEBs has already been pun
tshed for contempt of court in connection
with the legal complication growing out
of last summers strike It now looks as
though Mr.. Pullman might get dose of
the same medicine. A subpoena was is
sued from Judge Grosscup's court COM
handing the appearance of Pullman as
witness in the Dabs conspiracy trial.
When the officer called to serve the
paper Pullman's man took in his card
and when he returned informed the
officer that his master had gone to Wash
ington. It appears that this was not true.
Judge Grosscup now says that if he finds
out "for sure" that Pullman was at home
he will punish him. Fancy Pullman and
Debs in the same Jail. Such a denoue-
mert would be real and impartial vim
dication of the public

Republicans of Shiawassee county, stir
yourselves for the coming spring elections.
Interest yourselves in getting your best and
most prominent citizens to accept nomina-
tons. Singing rebukes have already been
administered to democracy's incompetent
and incapable administration of affairs, and
do what you can to make this springs re-
buke even more pronounced than ever be-
fore. Don't stay at home on election day,
but get out and add your protest against the
present state of affairs. Don't be led into
any side issue, but stick to the party that
has always proven itself equal to any emer-
gency. AT the coming election some very
important state officers are to be elected,
and in the county Commissioner of Schools
one of the most important offices within the

Burton Farmers Club.

The Burton Farmers Club met Thursday,
at Villa Rose, the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. w. Rose. This farm was settled upon
and cleared before the war by Mr.. Roses
father, Capt. Chas. Rose.
Our host and several members had been
getting acquainted with the grip and were
not feeling any better for it.
President Shepard called to order. De-
yotional exercises were conducted by Chap
lain Randall.
Among the questions was one, (which is
doing most to chrstianiZe the world, man
or woman?" Mr.. Shepard thought women
were as men were so engrossed with busi-
ness and politics that they had not the time
to devote to other matters. Mrs. Deven-
dorf read verv good essay showing that
woman was the first to tell the glad tidings
of Christs resurrection, that woman's work
was spreading the gospel at home and
abroad. Mr.. Randall took the other side
and said: "Men were commissioned to
preach and most of our preachers were
men; perhaps we had better strike balance
and call it even."
Mrs. Rose on being asked, SIS it any
worse to to talk about our neighbors than to
listen?" said this must nave been given 20
her because she never would talk about
her nelghbors. IL we could not say
anything good about person 1t were better
to say nothing. Others agreed that a gossip
could be frozen out by keeping still. sgys.3
