The legal and official business was
at standstill Saturday. Nothing up
on hand of sensational or important
nature. As to all the cases set for
hearing on those indictments institut-
ed by the county superintendent, even

state, failed to show up, and after
waiting one hour which is required
under the law, on default of said pros
cutor, c. r. Harris, the justice of the
peace, dismissed all the defendants

treasury for the cost of those prosecu-
tions.

Justice of the peace, is still giving out
another detailed report of that strange
kangaroo located on Walden's Ridge
near the Ketner Cove He says it is
from three to five bogs a
week from Jim Anderson. II his state
ment proves to be true / am lead to
believe that Anderson will soon be out
of stock hogs at the rate Mr.. Shelton
quotes him as losing per week. But
the strange feature that appears in this
case is that nobody can see or desert be
this great animal except Mr. Shelton. |

There is some more proof unearthed
in regard to the baby case which was
thrown in the briar patch above town.
An old favorite dog came walking up
at the time the coroner's jury was in
session with the after birth of the said
child in his trusty mouth. 1t had ev

near by knew all the circumstances
that surrounded this case, cleverly
washed off the ashes and can truthfully
state the facts as they occurred at the
time the child was found. The only
remedy that can see for tue guilty
marty is to file a plea of insanity.
They say such a plea well founded and
proven and set up will excuse crime
