Court session is over and justice
has again been handed out satisfac-
tory to some and to the disappoint-
ment of others.
The most interesting case on the
court calendar was the Omar case, a
case where Mr.. Omar was charged
with having received money from the
county under false pretense. Lots of
people were determined that this case
should be aired out in court, so peo-
pie could find out just what was going
on in the county and know just what
was done with some of the county
money. Those in power at present
time were just as determined that
this should not come before the pub.

received mysterious warning and fled
