SAXON DAYS.

II (Tune-s Bulah Land ,"
We We reached the land of Saxor
cars,
And all its pleasure freely ours;
There shines undimmed one bless
ful day,
For all our griefs have passed
away.
Chorus.
OIL Saxon days,
Sweet Saxon days,
The Saxon cars shall make a
raise,
For they can pull the hills on
high,
Where other ears don't dare to
try,
And they shall run for evermore
From Nezperce to that golden
shore.
The sweet perfume upon the
breeze
All comes from other cars you
see.
No fragrance from our car shall
flow;
The bayfield, does the work you
know.
(Chorus.)
OH Saxon days,
Sweet Saxon davs
Our Saxon six we all shall praise,
With joy and comfort, speed and
light,
When riding through the darkest
night,
AS down the road we smoothly
glide
When in our Saxon ear we ride.
In models that came out this year
'Tis impossible to strip the gear,
When through the woods without
one sigh,
For we can pull these hills on
high.
(Chorus.) Il
Obi Saxon days,
Sweet Saxon days,
These autos now are all the craze,
FOR economy in gasoline
You n plainly see in this machine.
Vow study this before you buy,
Tor gasoline is awful high.
The rough roads seem to flow by
me
Is sweet as pavements you now
see.
The engine in it's waiIing moan :
fakes music for our journey

ROTH CASE IS
CLEARED UP
Interesting Suit Concluded in
Federal Court; Other
~ Business.

An interesting case, and one tnat
has attracted deal OF attention OF
late, was cleared up in the United
States federal court yesterday. Peter
Roth was the defendant in the case
and suit was brought against the de-
fendant to secure the cost of span
of horses, which were picked up as
estrays by him and sold. Some in
teresting details were brought out
during the progress Of the trial and
at the conclusion it was decided that
Roth would be paid for caring for
the team during the time they were
in his custody and the United States
will receive 81 and costs for their
interest in the matter.

span of horses some time ago. and
for IS months neither saw nor heard
of his lost horses. The team was
picked up on the prairie by Roth and
advertised by him as such. After
keeping them for one year, he auc'
toned them off and saw to it that he
secured the horses at his own figure.
The many details brought out in
this case were very interesting to
those interested and were finally
cleared up satisfactorily to all con-
cerned.
Civil Case Concluded.
A civil case, in which the Golden
Valley Land and Cattle company and
the United States Fidelity and Guar
anty company were the parties in in
terest was concluded in the federal
court yesterday. The case was set
tied by mutual agreement on the Part
of those concerned.
One Case Remaining.
