The case of King VS.. Oliver is oc-
cupying the attention of Judge Taber
today. The suit was Originally brought
in the Justice court before Judge
Doughty who gave a decision in favor
OF the plaintiff The amount involved
is $115.50, which the plaintiff claims
is due for hauling ore. AS the de-
PENDANT claims that the money was
paid the question is one of fact rather
than one OF law.
Judge Doughty had two vags before
him today. One C. Jones was given
fifteen days in the county Jail. He
Just finished a term in the Hotel de
Harris yesterday morning, and imme-
diately upon his release he proceeded
to celebrate his return to liberty. He
