this paper was mistaken when it
stated last week that the city en-
ploys two assistants, one to the Clerk

capacities, at a salary of $50 a month.
The STANDARD gladly makes the

The Wilson case has again bodied
up serenely" in the Superior Court,
by motion of Wilson's attorneys, or

an exceedingly fair and impartial
trial. The Judge will probably rule
on the motion Monday.
