w. l.. SMITH.

The HERALD would say to the writer
of the foregoing, boost, don't knock.
We think Island Pond is the best town
in these United States. If you don't
think so, that's not our fault. It's yours.
California may be good state to live
in, but we prefer to live here even where
we have "mosquitoes, potato bugs, etc /,
rather than in California subject to
earthquakes, and what follows in their
trail. Your assertion that we have nine
months winter is absurd, and none
know this better than yourself.
The sugar story falls fat. The 800
referred to was IA typographical error.
1t should have read 800. The error
was corrected in the next issue.
We are all glad to hear of your well
doing, MIR. Smith, aud hope your pros
perity will continue; also to hear OF
Mrs. Smiths improved health /; under
such conditions it is your duty to re-
main in California and enjoy youl
fresh vegetables and fruit, but don't
knock your native state aud county
With this parting advice we close the
controversy. Vermont is all right, and

DIAMOND CASE Is
PUzzLER OF COURT
JUDGE REED HIS DIFFICULTY IN
DETERMINING THE
OWNERSHIP.
whose diamond stud is it?

That is the question that is per-
picking Circuit Judge William Reed
in the suit of II. C. Partee against
A. w. Vance over a handsome dia-
mond stud. which has been the cause
of litigation since last summer.
Judge Reed announced this morning
that he would decide the suit to-
morrow morning. but said it is any
thing but an easy task with the evil
dence so conflicting. AS a possible
aid to him in reaching a decision,
Judge Reed took the sparkler from
former Deputy Sheriff Gus Rogers,
who has been the custodian since
the litigation began, and may con-
suit the oracle. Captain Partee lost
his diamond on the steamer Russell
Lord last summer. All the local
jewelers. were warned to watch out
for IL. Several weeks later a dia-
mond was given to Jeweler j. l..
Wanner TO reset. The detectives
learned of il. and Mr.. Vance estab-
lished the claim that he purchased
II from pawn broker. Cohen
stated that he purchased it in st.
Louis and dispositions taken there
show that the stone had frequently
been pawned to the Union Surety
company for several years before II
was finally sold to Cohen after the
owner had failed to release 1t.
Captain Partee is just as positive
that il is his lost diamond as Cohen
is that he purchased it in St Louis
several weeks before Captain Partee
complained OF missing the stud. The
diamond is the same setting that
Captain Partee describes, and is OF
a peculiar shape.
