1T WILL BE SETTLED.
Now that Boston Has Come to Our
Assistance.

A poor seedy looking individual, who
with pair of intelligent eyes, entered
the court house this morning, aud gazing
for time about it's hallowed walle, asked
Jailer Fitzgerald if court was in session.
Being told that it was he demonstrated
that he could not find it. John then took
him to the court room and left him to
the tender mercies of the Judge, who in
quired his business. He was told that
he was a Boston lawyer, who had seen
brighter days; that he had some busi-
ness at Prineville, but having become
what we term tbroke," requested ten
cents to purchase sandwich (presum-
ing we bad no beans). Inqulring if the
county clerk was the district attorney,
and being answered by come wag that
he was, he laid his woes before him. The
result was that he received some assist
ance from the gentlemen present.
However, this did not seem to suffice,
and he sought the sheriff's Office, where
he informed them that he thought
the county might be more liberal
since he was going to Prineville
to settle the question regarding
the removal of the Prineville stage
line from The Dalles to Moro, in favor OF
the former city. THE brought down the
"house" and lift did not accomplish the
desired end, sufficed to make known to
the court just what precarious condition
this question is in, when we must send to
Boston for member of the legal fra
ternIty to settle it. Surely if he succeed
not, we will be compelled to call upon q
Philadelphia lawyer.
There are more ways of securing as
distance than are dreamed of in our
philosophy.
