 Pittsburg Jerome Case Again.
 A stipulation was entered into yes. terday by the attorneys representing both parties in the suit of the T. F.

This will ob- viate the necessity of going all thru the trial again, all of the material evidence having been presented at the time the case was heard by Judge Smith. The defendant is being sued on a debt, alleged to have been con tractcd at the time the firm of Cald- well & Snidcr built a road on the company's property near Jerome.
