sounder, 'is the names of places, and
the Skikomishes, the Snohomishes, the
Snoqualmies, the Wahkiakums and the
lot of them give man funny feelings

tion of Kentucky, Ohio and Virginia
or Delmar, where Delaware and Mary
land come together.
"Bucoda is composite name, and
its story Is simple enough. When the
Northern Pacific came in. town
sprang up, and 1t must have q name.
There were indian names in plenty,
but something more novel was wanted
SO Messrs. Buckley. Coulter and Davis,
all N. p. officials, put their heads to-
gether first and their names later, and
the name Bu-co-da was evolved, with
an etymology very apparent to any one

Circuit Court.

Court opened at Corunna, Monday,
Judge Smith presiding. The day was oc-
cupled with the call OF the calendar, hearing
motions, etc.
The business so far disposed of Is as fol-
lows:
Case of Bert Collins ct. al. VS.. Arthur
Shaw, ct. al, defendants were granted an
additional twenty days, to prepare a bill of
exceptions. Ida Willett VS.. Fred Goethe
time to settle bill extended to March 3.
Gases continued for trial until the next
term of court: Frank Herrick vs. NJ. w.
%. Wixom, Martin Rourke vs. the Mich
Central Ry. and In the matter of the appeal
10 the estate OF Peter Waits deceased.
VIM ID. Parker vs. Mary Estey ct. al
Plaintiff ordered to file security in the sum
of $50 within forty days.
George l.. Comstock vs.. Michigan Central
was dismissed, security for costs not having
been filed
Martinus Britton We. the Michigan Cen
tral Ry., plaintiff submitted to a non-suit
People vs.. w. II. McPhee charged with
obtaining goods under false preienses. De-
fendant arraigned, refused to plead, and the
court ordered plea OF not guilty to be en-
tered. The case was continued until the
next term.
The case of the People VS.. Ernest Post
was reported as settled and Post was dis
charged
The court appointed A. K. Richards to
defend Fred F0ote, charged with violating
the conditions of his parole from prison.
When the matter was presented to the court,
Mr.. Richards moved that Foote be dis
charged as there was no law touching the
case. The court took the same view and
ordered Foote released. Thus another case
which has cost the county good many dol
lars is ended.
The court appointed @. M. Hamper to
defend the two boys, Clay ton Swayze and
Logan Greenwalt, of Bennington, charged
with placing distractions on the track of
the Michigan Central. Mr.. Hamper was as
sisted by Van R. Pond, and so ably was the
defense conducted that acquittal was as
sured when the evidence was all in. This
result was made doubly sure by the earnest
pleas of Messrs. Pond and Hamper. The
case should never have been brought into
court, as there was nothing to show that the
boys had any evil intent in doing what they
did. The refusal of Judge Smith to allow
the boys to plead guilty and the verdict Of
not guilty are approved on all Sides
The case of the people VS.. Jas. McQuery
and Sadie Parrish, charged with adultery,
was dismissed, upon motion of A. E. Rich
ards and j. Ii. Collins, who were appointed
to defend the parties.
