Local Produce Market

A carload of California potatoes is due to arrive on the local market to- morrow. An unusual large amount is being disposed of on the local market this spring. This is partly due to the reasonable price at which they are being offered.
 A large shipment of strawberries was received yesterday. The local berries are about off the market.
 The market was nearly void of fresh tomatoes yesterday and the incoming supply is very limited.

It was then that Judge Sloan stated what was expected to be proved by Professor Lawrence, of whom MT. Laney said he had not before heard. He held a brief conference with Gov ernor Hunt who said he would oppose proposal to take the deposition of Professor Lawrence.

which had killed him-just such
thrust as had done for his two mates
in the cabin above; but the mailman
had disappeared. However, here was
proof positive that the fellow was still
on board; still hiding between decks.
He had not reached the open, or flung
himself into the sea. Masters could
tell us nothing; he had heard no
sound, seen no shadow. He had been
oiling the machinery, and man could
