of Herbert v. Van Horn Of this city

A. c. Hose today sold his stock
and good will to J. K. iMoore, until
recently in business at Boulder, in
this state. Mr.. Moore will continue
the store and coming highly recon-
mended will no doubt soon become
one of the popular merchants of the
city. Failing health and the desire to
engage in some occupation not so
corfining are the causes of Mr. HOSES
Hrement.

Moore was arraigned before Judge
Mann on complaint of R. A. Andrews,

five loads of alfalfa, weighing about
II tons. The hay alleged to have been
stolen by the defendant was a part
OF some that was hauled to a place
on Canyon creek where Rea Bros.
have been feeding sheep. When the

hay that remained was given to An
drews, so he alleges, and he claims
that Moore, who had been employed
there, hauled it off. The hearing will

Otis Wilson & Co., will after all,
get the issue of court house and Jail
bonds. Late Saturday afternoon the
county commissioners r~econsidered
the vote by which the bid of the
Thomas Cruise Savings bank was ac-
cepted and decided to accept the pro-

ill which to produce the check. He
Immediately telegraphed to the
house and expects the check in a few
days.
