Scrapping and Litigation.

Last Monday County Judge Wallis
settled little difference OF opinion ex-
isting betwee, Charley Blomgren and
Charley Ridgeway, the difference beng
seemingly against Ridgeway. 1t appears
that week or more ago the two Char
lies went out on u ridge south OF town to
look ut some clay land that WAS Thought
TO be good FOR brick, and shiie there tue
two men got into little physical mix-up,
the result Of which WIS that Blomgren
looked like clay that had been IN the
hands Of the potter after tho affair was
over. Still, the difference OF opinion
does not seem to have grown out of the
clay so much as matter OF Si0S that

steep, but then, he mad good time and
WIS willing to pay whatever the court
thought the fun wins worth.
As sequel to the above there was nn-
other case in Judge Harris court Tues
