Davis on Stand.

According to the testimony OF
the defendent he had had some talk
with Jess on the afternoon of Nov.
l1th., in which the settlement for
a pig Jess had purchased of defen-
dent was brought up. Jess stated
to him that if he would call upon
the Trust Co., Of this city, and ask
them to pay him $40 from his ac-
count they would do so. But young
Davis ask him to give an order to
that effect but the old man refused.
Davis stated he would like to have
the hog settled for before his sale
and if Jess did not want it he
would put it up at the sale as he
was going to leave the country and
could not fool around over an &C.
count of that amount. Jess stated
he would see that it was paid al
right. With these remarks, defen-
dent was leaving the field when
Jess called him back and wanted
to know when he was going to
settle for some milk he had pur.
chased during the summer. De-
PENDANT stated he had paid Jess
wife for the milk but the old man
claimed that made no difference as
he settled the accounts. A gen.
eral dispute resulted over various
accounts ending with remark
from Jess to the effect that defen.
dant has been running over him
for three months and that be need
not think he could come into his
field and start something, "you
snotty.nOsed boy" With these re-
marks the old gentleman crawled
down from the wagon and with his
fork in hand, they talked in a heat.
ed manner for some time but final.
ly cooled down. Then Jess called
Davis some more hard names and
struck at him with the fork. He
lodged the fork but got a light
blow on the arm. He opened his
pocket knife, but decided he could
do more with his fists so'replaced
the knife in his pocket. He ask
the old man to fight fair but he stat

felt when these Tr ducts appear from
New York, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
and there will be further relief when
late garden truck arrives from Canada.
The lateiItss Of tile season and the
smalIness Of the early supply Of nearly
everything which the farmer and gar
dener produce are the causes named for
the extraordinary rice in prices. as COM
pared with thnse Of last year. This rise
in some Instances il almost loo per cent.
The same reason is given for the txtrava-
CANT sums required in the purchase Of
meat of nearly all kinds. The cattle
raisers, the wholesale market men say,
find 1t much more costly than it was lasi
year TO fatten the animals that they ship
to tile East. The scarcity Of vegetables
further reacts upon tile demand for beef,
mutton and pork, stimulating IL beyond
the normal degree.

Notice.

We have noticed with regret the
publication in THE EAGLE of an
article which is calculated to
hamper the Committee of Fifteen
and the officers by leading the
public to suppose that the officers
are not in sympathy with the com
mittee in its work.
The committee has had no
cause to complain of the officers
except in one instance and
promptly went to them with that
complaint and had an under
standing about the future which
we regard as satisfactory. We
think all officers are working in
perfect harmony with the COM
mittee and would appreciate the
citizens not publishing anything
OF complaining kind without
first bringing their complaints to
our attention.
