Prof. Richardson was making a drive to Barada the same eve ning and on the road there he passed a team of mules driven by two men , but not knowing of the theft , thought nothing of it. However when he returned he found the team standing in the road , about a mile and a half this side of Barada. He took them to a near-by farm house and lelt them there.

Dr. E. C. Wittwer , president of our county medical association , came down from Ilumboldt Mon- lay to attend a meeting of that ijody in this city Tuesday. He was a pleasant caller at this oflice , being an old friend of the manager. It was amusing to watch the lawyers and jurors when Judge Kelligar adjourned court. For several weeks the term has been in session and the Iu\v3ers have been wind jamming and worrying about their cases , while the jurors have sat silent in the hard chairs being compelled to listen to the dryest of matters. When the Judge said "court will now adjourn , the jury is now excused for the term"everybody scattered like a lot of school boys out for a vacation. Court time is a stren uous time for some people , and every body is usually very glad when it is over. Bill McCray was in town on Wednesday to see what could be done towards getting the county in a few more law suits. William was trying to buy lumber with which to build bridges. The wholesale men when they learned that the county had contracted all bridges for the year refused , to sell to the county for the reason that the county had no right to buy and they would therefore be unable to collect their money. The lumbermen wanted McCray to buy the lumber personally and let him file his bill with the county. To this William refused. He is willing enough to play even at the ex pense of the county , but he isn't looking for a law suit of his own. Charlie Xoellers is working man fully to keep the county out of trouble , but McCray and Stalder , . the other two members of the committee , are seemingly trying- their best to get the county into a law suit.
