Suit Over Disputed Board Bill.

A case as complicated as any loca
lawyers are able TO recall was tried
Saturday and continued until Tues
day afternoon in the municipal court
before Judge f. W. Gibson. The case
was that of Mrs Jennie wilkins and
her mother, Mrs. Hattie Marsh, both
of Vernon, against Napoleon Castine
of that town Last winter while en-
gagged on a lumber job in Vernon Cas-
tine obtained board at the home of
Charles wilkins and. as Castine stated,
Wilkins contracted for the board and or
dered him to pay the money therefor
to Mrs. Wilkins which he did. When
he had finished the job in Vernon and
was about to leave he was owing a
board bill of Sal and this amount was
trusteed by the Valley Grain company
and also by John Moynihan, the man
ager of the company, personally for a
bill which Charles wilkins owed the
Valley Grain company. Castine was
perfectly willing to pay the bill but in
view of the number of persons who de-
manded the money was in quandary to
whom he should pay the money. He
enlisted the services of Robert c. Ba-
con as his lawyer and Mrs. wilkins
and Mrs. Marsh secured Frank E. Bar,
Der as their counsel. The case came up
for trial Saturday morning and a jury
was demanded. c. L. Stickney, W. H.
Bryant, George E. Fox, John L. Roess,
c. A. Smith and John A. Davis were
selected as the good men and true to
try the case. The case was holly
fought by the opposing counsel. Late
in the evening Judge E. W. Gibson de-
cided that the case could not be fin
ished that same night and after warn
ing the jury not to talk about the case
adjourned the court until Tuesday af-
ternoon at 4 o clock.
When the court again convened the
Ease was soon brought to a close. Then
Deputy Sheriff M. P. Davis took. the
Jury out for a verdict and they soon re-
;urned with a conclusion in favor of
he defendant, whereupon the plaintiff |
appealed the case to the superior court. |
The case is returnable at the Septem-
DER term of the court.

Meeting of Bailiffs.

A meeting of the village bailiffs was
held last Friday night. The appoint
ments of police officers by Chief of Po-
lice James Evans were ratified. The
officers are Scion A. Richmond, Hiram
Hyde, M. S. Amidon, Frank Belden
and George Holden. 1t was also voted
to have 16 special officers on duty the
Fourth of July. 1t was decided to sell
the pair of horses which have been
kept at the station for use on the
steamer and purchase new pair of
heavier horses. A pair of black horses
weighing $500 pounds was bought of
George E. Gilman and the other pair
was taken by F. z. Dickinson Satur-
day. The horses which have been used
for the past few years have done ex-
cellent service but it was thought that
they were too light 1t was also voted
to place an electric light near the house
of John J. Austin on Elliot street and
to request G. E. Crowell to extend the
water main on Southern avenue to the
house of George Odell.

Egotisn.

There is no egotism equal to
that of the woman who fanciee
that people are always talking
about her. We are not of such ina
portance in the world that the en-
tire.neighborhood discusses us eter-
nally. People have other things to
take up their time gas bills and
automobile repairs, and shoes for
the baby and other things. One
who is unhappy all the time be-
cause of what people may be think
ing is very foolish, but it is not
likely that anyone will be able to
force her to see her foolishness.
The person who lives as best she
or he can, according to the law of
conscience and common decency,
need never worry about the opin-
ions of her or his neighbors.-

Ribbons.

Ribbons will become creased in
spite of the best care, and a hot
fatiron removes but few of these
marks of use. A better plan is:
Take smooth quart bottle and fill
with boiling hot water. Then wrap
a single paper smoothly around the
bottle, wrap the ribbon around the
paper perfectly smooth and tight,
and then wrap another paper
around this and pin in place. Set
it aside day and night, and the
ribbon will be beautifully smooth
and new to appearance. Soiled rib
bons may be soaked and squeezed
in weak suds and, when rinsed and
dried, ironed in tLis way. It is a
very satisfactory method.
