lief in the loyalty of his Irish American
! friends who are still deeply interested in
the chances for Home Rule. The letter

| District Attorney Farr, in regard to the
report that the case of the state against
DR.. Pickin and Asgal P.ckin has been
dropped. recently said: ri have not yet
had opportunity to investigate the Case.
Since l came into the office OF the dis
trict attorney I have made three or four
appointments for consultation with the
Briggs, but they have not been able to
keep them. Somebody has been sick or
something else has prevented 80 that r
am not in position to state what will s,o
done with the CASE" This was all Mr.
Farr cared to say, but the general belief
is that there is possibility that the CASE
will not be prosecuted, Asigal is in the
county jail, DR.. Pickin holds frequent
consultations with his attorneys, and it is
reported may go into court to seek redrses
if the case against him is disposed OF.
The outlook for loggers in this valley
