Trout Season a Poor One.

The open season for trout closed
Tuesday, and penalty OF $40 is
provided for each fish taken from
Sept. l to May next. The sport
this year has net been up to the
average. High water and cold
weather prevailed at the opening of
the season; then came six weeks
without a drop Of rain, and follow
ing the drouth the weather conditions
were so variable that fishermen aver
aged rather bad luck. Taken alto
gether, the season has been rather
discourag,ng. But there are other
wears and other lines and hooks COM
ing, and the trout that escaped this
year will be in trim for the spider

CONDENSED STORIES.
Was Afraid Of Demurrers Because One
Threw Him out Of Court.


After having been solicitor gen
eral Captain Evan p. Howell, our
present distinguished mayor, retain
ed a considerable amount of private
practice in Clayton superior court.
At one term of the court he had a
weak case for a very dull witted but
persistent client. When it was
sounded on the docket for trial the
lawyer for the defense had filed a
demurrer that was discussed and
sustained, thereby throwing the
plaintiffs case overheard.
The plaintiff had listened intense
ly to a legal duel, the purport OF
which was to him as display of
cuneiform inscriptions, but had q
consciousness that something awful
had happened when the fracas be-
tween the lawyers came to an alb
rupt end.
He went out like Mary's little
lamb and fingered around until Cap
tain Howell emerged from the court
house door. His client seized him
by the arm and dragged him off to
quiet spot in the shadow of John
L. Doyals law Office.
EVAN, whut's happened?" he
TREMENDOUSLY questioned.
"Why, John, that unfeeling judge
in there let the case 60 off on de-
murrer."
"Well, Evan, l know that, and
we're fang out all right, but what
n thunder l.; IL demurrer Tell me
that now."
ooh, john, you 60 home to your
blowing AID 'lon't worry. The good
Lord never Intended fellow like
you to undrrs tand the lengths and
breadths, the heights and depths, of
a demurrer. Why, demurrer is
one of Tie most dangerous things
, that the law of a thousand years has
brought den to us for our affiic-
ton. Go home and try to forget
it,
And JOIN went-went in hur-
~, so as 10 get space between him

OF the much talked of Baptist
College by the local board at

parties to this affair, we feel an
interest in our neighbor town

treated with justice in the mat
ter. We ask our readers to
peruse the statement of a mum.
Der of Canyons represents tative
men and see if it does not coin
eide with your understanding of
the proposition. There is not a
town in the Panhandle that
would have paid the bonus sub
scribed after having been in
formed that two Baptist schools
would be established in the Pan.
handle, instead of one-on
which latter proposition the
subscriptions were raised. Per.
sonally, we have no grievance
to make, since Canyons present
plight was not, fortunately for
our people, awarded to Hereford
las we see no reason why any Of
the competing towns, with the
possible exception of Canadian,
would not have been placed in
the same unenvia BILE position
that Canyon is in this natter,
but we. believe in the old
adage, Justice to whom Justice
