There have been a great number
Of complaints made lately relative TO
he management of the ~postoffice in
his city. The complaints do not
from private individuals alone,
but from some of the largest firms in

,onvenienced by the poor service.
Stephens states that the
crowded condition and the poor facil-
of his present quarters are re-
sponsible for the things which have
Dccasioned the dissatisfaction. The
office will be moved into the new
building by the first of September and
the public will then expect a much
better service than is given at pres
emit.
Just one innocent little ground hog
was the cause of Joe Chaurnard be-
ing brought into the hospital Monday
night with a compound fracture of
both bones of the left leg. While
along the bluff on Casino
creek in the afternoon he spied a
hog and figured out that Il
might be the same animal that caus-
ed that May storm last spring and
he decided to get even. With that
intention he got ou of the wagon and
sent a stone after the ground hog.
He missed. and Frank Wadsworth,
who was standing higher up on the
bluff. imagined he could do better.
SO picked up a likely looking stone
and fired away. Instead of hitting the
ground hog the stone struck a large
boulder and glancing. hit Chaurnard
on the left leg. inficting a most Sc
we're fracture. He vas brought into
the hospital that night and DR.. Urea
CIV was called in and set the bones.
A. II. Baucher tried to give the Of
fcers of the Judith Basin Bank a few
pointers on the banking busi-
ness last week and got himself lock-
ed up in the county Jail for so doing.
He drew a check on the bank for S25
and had it cashed by Thomas Mackey.
When Mackey took the check to the
bank il was found to be no good, as
Baucher did not have any money on
deposit at the time and never had been
a depositor. Baucher went to the
bank and tried TO make them believe
that it was all right because jim At
Gibson owed him some money, but his
talk wouldn't go with Cashier Bach
and Mr.. Baucher was arrested. In
order to give him a better opportunity
to study over his new financial
scheme Johnny Lyons took him into
a quiet place and kept him there un'
I'll Monday, when Atchison came in,
paid his fine of S25 and the costs and
enabled Baucher to walk out.
