thought the Stalwart-Halfbreed fight
was laughable in the extreme.

The barn back of M. Steinberg's
second hand store caught fire about
$50 Tuesday evening and for few
minutes there was quite brilliant
display. The fire department how
ever, was soon there and quenched
the flames. AS there was no wind,
little property was damaged. The
property belonged to II. A. Sampson
and the loss was nominal. Mr.. Stein
berg cannot account for the origin of
fire, but thinks it was the work of a
tramp who had crawled into the hay
to spend the night.
Judge Webb last Tuesday decided
the case of Demroe vs.. Boucher in
favor of the defendant. The litigat-
ion, which has occupied the attention
of the court for two years, arose over
a piece of land near the Garrison spur.
The case was decided year ago in
favor of the plaintiff, but Boucher
through his attorneys Baumdn &
Davis secured a new trial. After a
trial of two days, Judge Webb holds
that the defendant is entitled to the
land. Bauman & Davis are to be
congratulated upon winning their
first case before Judge Webb.
