600 fine money.
w. II. EATON for state senator is
the rumor. Don't know on what
ticket, nor what ground there may
be to the report. With P. r. Vail on
the republican ticket and Bert N.
Wheeler on the prohibition ticket
we confess we are at a loss to know
on what ticket Mr. Eaton is going
to come before the "peepul."

for the office of judge of probate it
is proba ble that N. A. Young, at
present assistant county superin-
