The county commissioners have
had a great deal of trouble with
the bridge by the Webber farm,
and have had to build a new
bridge, fix approaches, etc., very
fremiontlv. A trreat deal of
water comes down the draw in
times of rain. The commission
ers have finally determined to
build a bridge that will stand
and have ordered several car
loads of large heavy stone from
the Johnson quarry that are now
being shipped in and hauled out
to the bridge. It is thought they
will put in one that will hold for
a life time.

CI. N. Titus had a load of line
apples at a car on tho sidotrack
almost opposite whore tho coach
containing tho band stopped.
The boys saw tho apples and
tho way thoy piled off the train
and made for tho load of apples
was a sight, Of courso Nat told
them to holp themselves, and
thoy carried back all they could
hold in both hands and arms.
Some farmers are complaining
that on account of the low price
of apples this year their orchards
do not pay, but we believe fig
ures will prove different. L N.
Cooper has about six acres in ap
pie orchard. When he rented
his farm to Norman Mead this
went with the remainder of the
farm, tho tenant to gather and
deliver the crop in market for
one-half the crop. It cost Mr.
Mead about $24.50 to gather and
haul the apples to town, charging
for' his own labor. There were
24,460 pounds of apples for which
they received 55 cents per 100;
a total of $134.53. There are 30
or 40 bushels of apples left in
tho srehard. Mr. Cooper wil
get about $12 rent per acre for
his orchard and Mr. Mead will
clear over $7 per acre after get
ting paid ior his worK. That is
good pay for both of them. The
apples were fine. Other farmers
have probably" done as well or
better. Orchards pay if taken

Preliminary Trial
of Williams Boys
The preliminary trial of Clarence M.
and Charles WJillaun for the rmirdfr
of tholr father, Isaac WllllMins, whm
bold in tlio court room at Auburn
Tuesday, before Judge McCarty. The
coroner, coroner's jury and a few oth
er witnesses wore examined. No evi
dence was offered for tho defence.
Judge McCarty bound the boys over
to dlstriat court, Charles, (be younger
boy, under 10,000 bail and Ularonce,
the older one, without bail, but his at
torneys were given -IS hours to apply
to the district judge for a writ of bubs
oas corpus. Tom J iath and Harney
Molnlnoh went on Charles' bond and
ho was released. M. S. Mclninoh,
il. A. Lambeit and Ed Ferneftii are
attorneys for the defendants, County
Attorney French had no assistance.
Tho testimony was mainly as to tho
testimony offered before tho coroner's
juiy by I ho boys and what tho boys
had told alter the tragedy, tho position
of tlio body, the condition of the
wounds, etc. From tho testimony it
appears that shortly after 1'2 o'clock
on tho l'Uh of September Charles got
into a quarrel with Ills father while
they were getting ready to start to liar
ney Mclninch's to help thresh. The
team was hitched to a wagon witli bed
and sideboards on. Charles asked for
money to go to school with. His futh
or said; 'Til money you," and started
for tho wagon and got a pitchfork,
climbing into the wagon to get it. As
soon as ho started for the wagon Clars
onco said bo know what that meant, so
ho ran into tho old house, only a few
feet away, and got a loaded shotgun.
As ho came around tlio rear end of the
wagon his father was starting for
Cliaeles, who stood at the head of the
horses, toward tho south. Clarence
fired both loads into his father's back,
ouo taking effect just below tho left
shoulder blade and tlio other lower
down on ino ngnc side, i no upper
shot rangad directly in and tho lower
one up and out. As Mr. Williams full
Charles lired four shots at him, only
one striking him, that one being in the
back of tho lloshy part of the left arm,
ranging up. Mr. Williams made one
attempt to get up and Clarence struck
at him with tho gun, but evidently
did not hit' him, as there were no
bruises of any kind on tlio body. Tlio
stock of tho gun was brokon. but this
might bavo been done by tho team
stepping on ii. Air. w imams was
tbout oven witli tho brako when shot
lo fell witli his head to the west, face
downwind. Death occurred almost
Instantly Tho pitchfork lay near the
body, with tlio handle next to the body.
riiero was no testimony to show that
Charles ran, but on the contra rv he
was standing at the bead of the horses
all tho time, and his father had hist
got down Irom tho wagon and started
or him when ho was shot.
Tho above is tho substance of the
testimony given.

Hacker wan county oleik two terms in

county surveyor for years not because
he wanted the ofllco. which paid very
little, but because ho was for a long

Two years later he was reelected. Last

reached this decision .-hoi tly after tlio
pnagt! of a metmute which holds that
the release secured by the compacy
upon the payment of dinubility and

A conference of all the comptiiilee

validity of the measure In Hie highest

event thttt the release is held valid the

has been a subject of deep concern lo

was that tho institution was on a
