There are many persons who think
Sunday is sponge with which to
wipe out the sins of the week. Now
Gods altar stands from Sunday to
Sunday, and the seventh day is no
more for religion than any other.

for religion and one of them for
rest.
Relative to George Mulligan our
opinion is this: He tried to rob
the boys of this country, acted the
part of lying scoundrel, and should
be treated as such should he ever
return to Beaver county, no matter
how much or how little money he
brings along. Mrs. Bob Smith
arrived from Meade, KS, this week.
-. Elery Cooper, of Meade, went

The case of Edward Carron VS..
John A. Lightner which was begun
in the district court on Thursday
afternoon of last week, was prolong-
ed far into this week, nearly five
days having been consumed in the
examination of witnesses and the
reading of dispositions. The jury
was readily secured on Thursday
evening. The Importance of the
case was due to the fact that several
important points of law involving
the ownership of several thousand
dollars worth of cattle would be de-
termined. F. c. Price, c. H. Koh-
ler and Rich Bros. appeared for the
plaintiff and J. w. Davis, T. K.
Richey and Chas. M. Myers for the
defendant. Every detail of the case
was thoroughly gone over and ably
argued on each side. The taking of
evidence was completed Wednesday
evening and Thursday morning the
Judge read his instructions 40 in
ALTO the jury. Four hours time
was then consumed by the attorneys
in arguing the case before the jury.
At the time we go to press on Thurs
day afternoon the jury is still delib-
Grating. -Coldwater Star.
