COMMENT
COMMENT

The sumas News has been purchas-
ed by w. H. Bohannon of ,his city
and the new owner took chavez last
week. The retiring owner, Mr.. Thall-
heimer, conducted a most disgraceful
paper even for the wet organ, and it
will be a relief to the fraternity of
the county and dry element Of Snmas
to learn that the News has nassed
into dry hands. This much is taken
for granted as Editor Bohannon has
repeatedly stated that he is dry
man, and it would hardly be consis-
tent for him to change In 81 short
a time. Be that as it may, the people
of sumas will hereafter have good
live paper, one thing that has been
greatly needed Blaine journal

ly that he is guilty. In discussing the
identity of the skeleton supposed to
be that of Worrall, Stewart says the

Stewart says, were given to 'WOrrall
