The case of Lee Saunders chafged
with larceny from a dwelling. was on
the docket for trial this merning, in the
district court, but was passed as the
prosecuting witness was not to be found.
Saunders had promised to plead guilty
but changed his mind when he foand
that the states witness was absent. The
prosecuting witness now lives in lola
and wrote Sheriff Lucas several days
ago that he would not be able to be pres
ent at the trial Of the case unless a
ticket was seSrTNto him. AS the defend-
ant had promised to plead guilty the
sheriff did not feel thai it would be nee
essary to have this Witness present. He
has promised to see 10 it that all. Of the
witnesses necessary are present at the
next time that the case is set for trial.
Today has been a rather busy day FOR
William Walters as he had-t8o cases
on the docket in the city court and
was bound over to the district court in
each instance. The story sof his dealings
as an operator on the chicken market
is told an another paragraph. The sec
end case charged him with entering
the dwelling occupied by Nellie Me-
Farland and carrying away numerous
articles to the value of about ten dollars.
In this case as in the previous one he
was bound over to the district court
under $500 bond.

least. Lunch was soon prepared
and then we were off to the
woods. Up hill and down hill,
thru fields and over fences we
went until at last we arrived at
well-known spot. Down. went
our. sacks and baskets, while C.
climbed and shook ? the tree.
Down came the walnuts on our
heads There was a scramble to
see who could gather the most
nuts, while &C. called that he
would not be counted in that
game. At last, the gatherers
stood up to exhibit their sacks
to the one in the tree, who was
judge. After short debate it
was decided that L. had the
most nuts, so each of the rest
reluctantly gave up ten nuts to
the winner, who smilingly re-
ceived them. Many trees were
thus encountered and all the nuts
having been gathered, the hunt
for wild grapes began. We soon
found some and j., with a happy
heart, climbed the tree, while we
pulled down the vine. Then we
began picking. At last with
stained dresses and faces that
had become mysteriously purple,
we started home. About every
half mile we had to stop to rest
and sample the grapes, but after
many trials we reached home.
Such aches and troubled dreams
as [ had that night! Yet some
thing the same happens, day
after day, to someone "when the
red is on the naples"
