Frank Maple bumped against a
hard argument in Judge Gaskins
court Saturday. In fact. the logic
of the argument was irresistible.
The major and minor premises be-
ing automatically true, the con-
,clnsion was inevitable. He had
violated q laberer's contract, car
ried concealed weapon, and went
armed and uttered threatening
speeches. For the next ninety
days he will not wear his own
clothes.
The old store-house of MesrS. S.
poston g. Son was burned Sunday
.,isht about eleven o'clock. 1t is the
building in which they carried on
business before the new one was
built, and stood only about hum
dred feet from the new one. The
fire was undoubtedly of incendiary
origin. There was Il lot of corn and
hay in it. The loss is something
like $500. ]. S. Howie went down
with the blood hounds, but the dogs
failed to pick up the trail. The won
der is that the new store escaped.

is for the Sunday school children
and the Presbyterian and Method.

the last named could not accept the
invitation, owing to the fact that
