was sane and allowed him his liberty.
Within a few days he was picked up in
Washington and committed to the Med

confined there since May last.
A French-Canadian named LaComb
was taken to Standpoint on Monday to
be tried as to his sanity The man was
a guest of the Newport hotel and had
developed signs Of insanity during
the past few days, and it was thought
best to have him taken to the county

authorities at the boundary have been
notified regarding the case.
LaComb was given hearing before
Judge Randelin. He was taken to the

supposed to have viewed the road told
him that he had never viewed it. How
ever, the board allowed the party his
fees for the work. There appears to be
something peculiar with the records in
connection with the road.
The colored lady who recently pur-

moon took place on Tuesday night
Red Warren, proprietor of a restau-
rant, and a hanger-on named Smith
were the principals Smith formerly
worked for Warren as hasher. but
was discharged last week. For some
reason Warren had taken violent dis
like to Smith and on Monday assaulted
him. Tuesday night Smith was seated
in one of the saloons attending to his
own business, when Warren entered the
place. He spied Smith and immedi-
atelv returned to his restaurant and
secured heavy butcher knife. Going
back to the saloon he made a
swipe at the hasher. The latter
warded off the blow by hold
ing chair in front OF his head. Smith
then grappled with Warren. He caught
him by the wrist in which he held the
knife and they went to the floor. Smith
maintained vicelike grip on the wrist
until one OF the men in the saloon placed
his foot on the weapon and finally
wrested it from his grasp.
The combatants then got up and went
after each other hammer and tongs.
Smith proved to be the better man and
soon tloored his adversary and then
"gave him the boots," as the expression
goes over his way. He kicked him so
har in no foo hof Il
and one of his eyes nearly gouged out
1t is questionable whether Warren will
have much use of the injured optic in
the future. Warren was taken home
and placed in bed and doctor called.
No arrests have been made, but War
rem, it is stated, will be compelled to
sell his restaurant and move from town.
Another fight occurred one day thi
week between members of conflicting
elements, but it was stopped before any
damage was done.
1t is stated that notice has been given
to certain parties that there will have to
be general clean up in this section be-
fore long.

asking Sheriff Merritt to appoint certain
parties deputy sheriff for this precinct. |

There was great deal of ground
turned in Adair county last week. For
the next month farmers will be scarce
about Columbia, consequently business
will be dull at the general stores. No
complaint, however, will be made by
the business men of Columbia. They
are anxious for the farmers to get in
their crops, and rejoice when favorable
weather for their work comes. Every
body depends upon the farmer. When
he prospers all other classes of business
