community. When this is done we
will have society 400" for our girls
and boys to take pattern after. Each
one of them has bought three lots and
cut them in two and calls them six.
Lawyer Hawkins cleared his man
before Judge George one day last
week. The accused was only a Dago
and had only had fight with another
Dago and the court being informed
that the Dago that got cut would not
die, it did not see the use of the
county being put to the expense of 60
ing through trial. This was made
plain to the court by Mr.. Hawkins,
who is as sharp as a tack in court
room. So long as Dagos confine their
fighting to themselves this paper is of
the opinion that the county should not
be put to the expense of trying them
for it, and we congratulate Mr.. Haw-
kins for taking this high moral view
of the case.
Quite distinguished man arrived in
our town one day this week, and it
was none other than the tenth cousin
of the late John Sullivan, who came
to claim the property left by his kins-
man. We understand that all he will
have to do is to claim the property
and then return home and the lawyers
will do the rest. Mr.. Callighan came
direct from Ireland, and was surprised
to find so many of his old friends in
cur town. and he was more surprised
to find them all on the police force.
He, however, could not explain why
their hands behind them. and finally
concluded that it was city regulation
and if it was, he would not like the
job His twentieth cousin explained
the cause of that deformity and he
understands it better now and may re-
side here.
We regret to chronicle the fact that
our worthy mayor has severe case
of the grip and that it is holding on
to him like grim death. The case has
puzzled and even baffed the skill of
DR.. Grand Jury, who is the best doc
tor in these diggings. He is still work
ing away trying to break it and the
distinguished patient is bearing up
bravely just as is Doc Ames, formerly
of Minneapolis, who suffered like at
tack Many of the citizens have vol
unteered to set up with him until the
doctor gets his grip broken.
With pride and pleasure we an
nounce that our town has been hon
ored with a distinguished citizen COM
ing here to live. He says he is well
pleased with the town and has never
met a more intelligent and hospitable
at our Office last Tuesday and left
two wheels" for the paper. The latch
string of our Office hangs on the out
side and you are welcome at any
time. Our exchange table is at your
disposal, as well as the copy that is
being written by the devil" Thanks,

The secret sessions of the grand
jury at which the witnesses are sworn.
to secrecy under the pain and penalty
of being thrown into bad company for
contempt of Foreman Pigott, is a huge
success. Not word that has never
been spoken in the grand jury room
is ever repeated when the witnesses
leave the room. This speaks we'll for
our citizns, proving them to be trust
worthy honorable and reliable, and
their words equal to their bonds, that
is when the bond has been given for
the satisfactory performance of some
one elected to a public office.
With such brave and fearless Off
cials ever on the lookout for evil doers
