Demands" E. A. Mathis editor and
proprietor, made its appearance in
Colfax on last Saturday, as duly
announced. The paper is neat in
appearance, and bright and newsy
in its items. Mr.. Mathis made his
debut into the craft some nine years
ago, when a little boy just fairly in
his teens, and began to study its
mysteries in this Office. We shall
therefore have right to feel pIoud
of him if he proves to be prodigy,
and shall begrudge him no share of
success fairly merited.

were somewhat displeased with the fol-
lowing paragraph, which appeared among
our court notes week before last:

tcrney Ridout. representing Mr.. Schoepf.
filed plea Of not guilty of erecting trolley
poles and stringing wires as alleged in
the information.

the ground that even though the facts

stitute a sufficient defense and did not ap-
ply to the offense alleged in the informa-
ton.
The hearing was not concluded when The
Stars report closed.
1t is understood that Mr.. Pugh will this
afternoon file twenty-five informations
against the company to cover each day

ter, it will cost him about $40 for each
writ each day.
