encourage such practice and hence
disagreed. That ends 1t.

People v. Barrett boy for stealing
Il chicken.
The Jury disposed of this case IN
the same way us the other.
Costilla county Bank V. VIM.
Willis for a balance of some $50.
resulted in favor of Mr.. Willis in
the sum of Sl4.75.
The most important case was
the sawmill case which came up

the same ns at the former trial for
Mr.. Perkins. The costs IN this
SUIT will reach something like $500.
Business men should try and set
tie their own troubles.
