ing the sale of real estate belonging to
the l.. NJ Fairchild estate was con
tirmed and the administrator was or
dered TO give deeds for same. Some
claims against the estate were allowed
and ordered to be paid.
Other business of til. morning ses-
sion was the admitting to probate of
the last will and testament OF Nels
johnson. deceased. S H. Carlson was
appointed administrator OF the estate,
which is supposed to be solvent.
In the afternoon the cases Of the

Utesler, charged with disturbance of
the peace, was called. The defendants
were paesent and were represented by

of November 9, 1900. Mr.. Krum was
the principal witness for the prosecu-
ton. and his testimony was augment
ed by that of other members of his

denial of the charge, and introduced u
,,,I.nl,er,of witnesses to prove that up
on the night in question they were
neither upon nor near the krum prem
ISes. After the testimony of the wit
nesses was closed the case wac argued

Nothing perhaps produces quite so

means that he has been justly paid. A

of discomfort when her driver straight

dropped her shilling and looked at her

had curly brown hair, clean-cut

for his monthly wages but her wealth
did not impress him even a little bit.
Whereupon Miss Smith liked him bet
