Her plight might not have been . discovered had she not succumb- . . r \ eel l to weariness and hung"ct' Thc girl fainted shortly after she en- tercd the waiting room and w are revived by passeng-crs. Women noticed her scanty attire and after much questioning thc girl broke into tears and told the story of her attempts to get work in St. Joscph.

" After drinking to excess he walked out to Strauss\'illc and notwithstanding the thermometer registered ten degrees below zero , he slept all night in the buggy shed of Jacob Strauss where he was found in the nwrning" 1\1r. Strauss gave him his breakfast , after eating which the unfortu- natc man went to the granary and barricaded hil lself from Strauss. lIe appeared to fear harm from some source On thc advice of l\rr. James the county attorney , the sheriff drove out and got him. His feet are badly frozen and thc probablities are he will lose one of thcm. There was nothing about him to identify - fy him. He had twenty-fivc dol- lars in money and an empty whiskey bottle. He gives his name as Chas. Bray and that his home is somewhere in New Jersey He is being cared for in the Mercy hospital. Printing Contracts. The contract for furnishing the supplies for thc county next year was given to H. P. Custcr he being thc lowest bidder therc- for.

Notwithstanding - . withstanding the bill allowed is. less than thc claims heretofore paid for thc same work. Johnny is so impotently angry at us that hc has held it up for a short time. Johnny wanted thc work himself and asked for it , hut 'l'he'rribune was successful in securing the cmploymcnt. " 'l'hc log in thc mangcr" is one of Johnny's chief charactcristics.
