 The opinion sought by Dr. Gorham and written by the attorney general follows
 In regard to selling cold drinks and cigars on Sunday. I have the honor to state that in my opinion it is a viola ton of the law to operate a soda foun- tain on Sunday or to sell cigars on that day The law is ignored in many places in the state, particularly in the larger cities, but the fact that the law IS not observed would not excuse one in case the Grand Jury should indict him or in case he should be arrested upon the charge of Sabbath breaking"

Suit Starts Trouble.

Mrs. Sller was married about a year ago. Her husband deeded to her his interest in the farm upon which his father and three brothers were living. This was in exchange for her deeding to him land which she owned.
 Mrs. Siler sought to obtain a divis- ion of the Siler homestead in order to obtain the interest her husband had deeded her. She brought suit in the courts. The suit was fought by Hays Siler and his three sons. who had re mained at home, and bitter feeling re suited. Mrs. Siler was dissatisfied at the slowness with which the matter was being handled by the courts. She came to Mountain Home and asked her attorney if it would strengthen her claim if she went out and lived on the disputed farm. The lawyer advs- ed her against this, telling her that her father-in-law and brothers-in-law felt bitterly toward her and that trou- lie would be certain to follow such action.
 Disregarding the lawyers advice, Mrs. Siler went to the Siler homestead after dark, carrying a shotgun, and barricaded herself in the henhouse. The arrested men say she fired at them every time they emerged from their home.
 The woman's body lay all day in the snow where it had fallen, awaiting the arrival of the corner Owing to the extreme cold, the coroner did not % ont
