UNION.
Times, January "a: The depot at
Lockhart Junction eight miles above
Union, was broken into last Saturday
night. Entrance was made by break
ing out two panes Of glass in the tele-
graph operators office in front. They
made a water haul this time, and got
nothing of value This breaking In
business is getting to be rather monot-
onous, and we think that the scound-
rels should be hunted down. A little
dose of hemp might work miracles In
stopping this business. s....A grand raid
was made on blind tiger who had his
lair in some secret recess or nook
around about the Johnny Willard ole
barroom stand of the days Of yore
The eagle eyed sleuths Of the law
swooped down upon this unsuspect'
ing 60 tiger, of the sightless variety
They probably made him get down or
his knees and deliver up the keys tt
the kegs that had been robbed many
years ago." A grand seizure had beer
made, the pull. was Of such magnitude
that we understand it required sever
wagon loads Of hauling to remove the
kegs, jugs, bottles, etc., to the safe Gus
tody Of the sheriff. But sad indeed
must have been the disappointment o.
the raiders when it was found tina
only about five gallons of the arden
could be drained from all this noun
tain of evidence, barely drink arount
for the thirsty onlookers. Too bad, TOT
bad, you have our sympathy. ..Th'
jurors for the first week came in Mon
day. Owing to the recent decision o
the Supreme Court Judge Ernest Gar!
dismissed the jurors indefinitely. Th'
second weeks jurors are also instruc
ted that they will not be requested t.
attend this term of court. 1t is proba
BILE that an extra term Of court will b'
called sometime in April, but nothing
definite has been arranged yet.....
Magistrate Jno. P. Gage sent his res
ignation to the governor last week
The resignation was accepted and j. G
Hughes, ESQ.,, was appointed to fill th'
vacancy. Mr.. Gage has made a goot
magistrate. He was thoroughly com
petent to discharge the duties Of his Of
flee in an intelligent manner. A num-
Der of the prominent lawyers of th'
city, and others having business In hi!
office expressed regret at his determi
nation to resign. Mr.. Hughes, the new
magistrate, is a rising young lawyer
of the Union bar, and we have M
doubt will handle the business Of tht
office in such a manner as to give sat
isfaction to all concerned. The coun
ty board of commissioners at thei
meeting last Monday decided to let th'
contract for supplies for the count!
poor house and chaingang, for the yeal
1902 on a basis of cash price with In
terest added at the end Of the yeal
when the county will pay for the goods
The board left the matter in the hand!
Of the county supervisor to get in bid:
and award contract for same. Bid:
were submitted by Messrs. Farr &
Thomson and Fant Bros. Several 9th
er merchants declined to put in bid:
on grounds that they did not care t.
carry county trade that long on shor
profits, as the matter was too great
Contract was awarded Messrs. Fam
Bros, they being the lowest bidder
They will furnish goods to poor house
and chaingang at cash price with pei
cent. added.
