lac square, Caught lire anu was totahy ue-
sTOy GU. When the hre was discovered II
was burning ON The northeast corner at the
Iuot oi the stairway. The origin oI the

rco.uence OF IL. M. Copeland was saved by
LIE efforts OF The people. Mr.. Copeland
bong away from home at the time having
gone 10 Michigan alter his vile ana fanny
VINO nave been iii a sanllarIum there. Inc
law ofiice OF MIR. Copeland was totally de
stloyed but his library was saved. The
pos,omce building which was used as
drug Store and owned by John Wilson was
consumed and but part OF the contents
saved The fire caused considerable ex-
element. The loss is estimated at $500
to $1,000.
1t IS amusing to note how some papers
give space TO news. A Cleveland paper
put Trustee Copeland alleged shortage on
prominent page but the correction writ
ten by Chairman Prince was placed in the
Obituary column and not in very large
type-to tell what the article was. Ii looks
like that they we're sorry to report that he
was ahead with his accounts. 1t is true
history that Hannah was hung on something
which he intended to hang another. It
looks as though history is repeating itsselt
as several of the leaders who had the audit
to catch someone ere caught themselves
and those they hoped to get-there is
nothing to bring against them.
An interesting game of 1901 ball was
pulled of here saturday, between the To-

Dut II IS thought that the Democratic lead
ers, oil which we have many. will pour oil
on the troubled walters. The trouble all
arose over the the stockholders not want
ing to pay one third of the total bond IS
sue OF $4,000 while those OF the water
works could see that they would not cost
any one any thing. But they could not see
1t that way.
Walter M. Harrison, the former post
master, and who is our hardware man is a
jolly good fellow but he has business on
the outside OF town. When you ask him
where that brandy is that he got for his
wife--it is said the preachers know but
Walter does not. Any information will be
appreciated as we hate to be in the dark in
matters of this kind.
Several here are at loss to know what
to do with their COWS. The CITY does not
allow them to run out after October /,
some old rogueish cows rebel at this treat
ment and get out anyway, then their own
ershave to pay fine.
Now going back to the original subject
of what Chancery court did or did not do.
Il did not dismiss the injunctions against
The ]. P's that are enjoined. One lawyer
said in the justices trial here, that if j. P.
could nave $4,000 dumped in his pocket
in two years how much could he get in six
years? Such talk caused some of the ner-
vous one to leave the room while such
extravagant language was being used. The
cases was taken under advisement by the
Chancellor and will be sent in later.
