A mistake was made last week in the
dates OF the notice announcing the ex-
cnrsion rates to The exposition at Port
land. Read The corrected notice this
week. This is by far the grandest oxpo-
siiion ever held in the state, and no one
should miss il who can possibly go. On
the 7th OF next month the order OF
Wnodmen will have grand celebration
at the exposition and all Of the members
OF the state are cordially invited to at
tend and bring along their families and
friends. Az the rates will be only about
Que fair for the rnnnd trip, the three
camps Of this county ought TO he well
represented there.
The trial Of Jacob Rinearson and Rea
Norris is an expensive one to this conn
", owing to there being SO many wit
uesses from II distance. Every one who
heard the evidence was SURPRISED ut the
: flimslness OF the states case. There re.
ally was no case against the boys, and
, Judging from the almost unanimous
cheer that went up from the large crowd
| present when the verdict was rendered,
leaves no doubt as to public approval
Of the verdict. To the credit Of District
Attorney Jayne, considering the slim
show the state had, he acquitted him
self remarkably we'll. His argument ic
the jury was 4 mastery effort, it being
hy far the ublest and most vigorous ht
has ever made toa jury in this connty
The argument by the attorneys on the
other side was also very powerful.
