them and started for justice of the
peace to have the damage assessed
On his way he met Fitzloff, who
found cow belonging to him in
the bunch and demanded that she be
turned over to him, which Byersdorf
refused to do. At that, Byersdorf
says that Fitzloff drew knife and
threatened to cut his heart out and
made other remarks of similar
nature, and finally went so far as to
cut the halter of his COW and carried
her off in triumph. No actual vio-
lence was done Byersdorf, and the
charge is based on the alleged threats.

National bank on Saturday paid a
check for $40 on forged Endorsement

hands by the name of Swenson, who
lost the check. When a stranger
presented the check at the bank and
said his name was Swenson it was
paid.

cashed the real Swenson came into the
bank, said he had lost the check, and
requested that payment on it be stop

had left town.
L. G. NJ Fletcher has sold to j. E.
Hickey the store property just south
of John Klein's store building on South
Front street, the deal having been
fully closed and title passed. This is
the building that was damaged by fire
recently, and which Mr.. Fletcher in
tended to repair much to the regret
of a good many people.
MIR. Hickey states that it is his in
tention to put up double store
building, perhaps three stories high,
but his plans have not as yet become
crystalized. His new property has a
frontage of twenty -four feet, and runs
back to the alley and he owns the
lot just south of it. The purchase will
at any rate undoubtedly mean that
the two old buildings will not be re-
paired, but that in their place hand
some and substantial building will
be erected
Mr. Hickey will take up the matter
of construction after the holidays.
