Scott is charged with the crime of
fornication, and the girl in the case is

agreed to a marriage, but the young
man evidently thought she was not in
his class. and refused to settle it in that
way. Sheriff STAIRS is now on the look
out for Scott

allegations of the complaint that there

pie by their taking more water than
they were entitled to. He said this be-
ing granted, there should be a suit for
water stealing and trespass against
those who had been guilty of this of

decision on the case will, in all prob |
ability, be reached on Monday morn
