TREAT
IS NOT UNLAWFUL
RADICAL DECISION BY SUPREME
COURT REVERSING AND RE-
MANDING EMMoNs CASE

Two important cases appealed from
this county have been reversed and
remandei by the Supreme court
the State VS.. AL Emmons, and Long
fellow VS.. Huffman.
The Bmmons case was for vio-
lation of the local option law. He
was found guilty by a jury at the
May term and sentenced to serve 30
days in the county Jail and pay a
fine of $500.
The Supreme court has made de
cision OF great moment on the local
option law in reversing this case, de
claring the indictment must allege
that the giving away of liquor was
with the intent to evade the law
and in effect stating that giving q
person a drink in a purely social
way is not violation of the law
Burleigh & Boyd were Emmons
attorneys.
The facts in the Longfellow VS.
Huffman case are well known by
our readers, it having been in the
courts for several years. This is the
second time 1t has been to the Su
preme court. The suit is for the diff
ference in the value of lambs thai
were to pay for sheep bought by the
Huffmans Of N. c. Longfellow, lamb:
having increased largely in value
while the Huffmans paid the note
given for the sheep. The case was
last tried here in May, the judge di
recting the jury to return a verdic
for the defendants. This verdict Il
now reversed and the case remand
ed for new trial. d. w. Sheahan II
attorney for Mr.. Longfellow, while
j. S. Hodgin and Judge Crawford
of LaGrande appeared for the de

Experiments With Sand.

A very interesting fact about the
ordinary sand of the seashore is that
a pint of dry sand and half pint of
water when mixed do not make pint
and half. but good deal less. II
you 6ll child's pail with dry sand
from above the tide mark and then
pour on 1t some water the mass of
sand actually shrinks. The reason is
that when the sand Is dry there is air
between Its particles. but when the
sand particles are wetted they adhere
closely to each other; the air is driven
out. and the water does not exactly
take an equivalent space. but occupies
less room than the air did. owing tc
the close clinging together of the wei
particles.

A Cure For Baking.

A farmer thus cured horse of balk-
ing:
He went to stack of wood for a
small load. but his horse would not
pull a pound. He did not beat him.
as most men would have done. but
simply tied him to tree and left him
there. At sunset he went to the stack
again, but the horse still refused to
draw. So he put blanket on him and
left him there for the night. In the
morning he still refused to draw, but
at noon. being hungry. he started al
once and drew the load to the house
The farmer then returned and got an
other load before feeding him and then
gave him good dinner.-London Fam

we remained at this place two nights,
and enjoyed ourselves immensely
while we were there, taking in the
city park, vinyards, groves, etc.
October 8. We now think our horse
getting a good deal better, we will
undertake to travel on. We left Chico
about O'Clock in the afternoon, it
looking good deal like rain. We
drove to Mr.. Gums ranch in Sacra-
mento Valley, just fourteen miles
from Chico.
october we left Mr.. Gums ranch
and drove to Marysville, which was
40 miles from Mr.. Gums. Perhaps
you will think us hard hearted to
drive our sick horse so far. We began
to try to find feed for our horses,
and a camping place at 4 o'clock,
but every fellow we would ask would
tell MS to drive on to the next place,

BOXING.

The bill passed several days ago
in the Legislature to the effect that
boxing exhibitions of eight rounds
could be held in Tennessee has met
with hearty approval And there is
already talk among the colored popu-
lation that such exhibitions will be
pulled off in Nashville in the near flu
ture. The sporting public of this city
is alive to every movement and is
only waiting for an opportunity to
show how much it will appreciate
such chance. The National Athletic
Association, local organization that
has been running for five or six years
is considering putting on such ex-
hibitions. In conference with the
Globe man the President said he had
long wanted to push this branch of
athletics, and that as the lid was now
off, he was going to entertain the
members Of his club and that he would
also give the public chance to see
something of the game. The associ-
alton has several hundred members.
At a recent meeting they all seemed
willing to foster such a cause pro-
vided they can get assurance of the
proper support. Come on with your
boxing exhibitions. The sports will
come out to see them at every chance.

TEACHERS, SOCIAL

Last Monday night the teachers
and officers of Mt. Olive Baptist Sun
day-school gave a social at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Ferguson, of Jackson
street. A large number came through
the inclement weather to enjoy the
evening. The house was brilliantly
lighted for the occasion. Those pres
ent were entertained by speeches
along the lines of Sunday-school work
from Mr.. John Ridley, MIR. Burt Stan
ley and the superintendent, Mr..
James E. Hurt, from which much val
liable information was obtained.
These socials are given from time to
time in order to bring the officers
and teachers in closer touch with
each other, and are doing great good
along this line. An elaborate menu
of several courses was served.
