Sullivan , one of the pioneers of Cherry count/ ' and for several years county commissioner in the ' 90's , came down from Merriman a couple of days ago to transact some business before.departing to spend the winter in Goshen , Ore. , where he will live with an old friend dur ing the cold months. We enjoyed a pleasant visit with him at our office yesterday. The good will and wishes of Cherry county people ple will go with "Mr. Sullivan and hope for him a safe journey and" a pleasant sojourn until the spring months come again , when his friends will hope to see him back again. In the next term of court there will be a case of the state of ISeb. vs W. K. Boddy , charged with assault with attempt to kill upon the t person of Miss Bee Moih'fr , who for several months was in his ? em ploy. 1 . It is said that he slapped 1 her over once for Inaving the cash drawer open. A young fellow , who had been hanging around the restaurant ) stole a ten dollar bill upon this occasion , and Boddy blamed Miss Moffit. Boddy is a colored man and was proprietor of the Elite restaurant in this city. Lateis he and Miss Moffit had a disagreement and she failing to get the wages she claimed , tried to see lira at different times and finally in a quarrel she struckat him. Boddy picked up an Indiaa'war club which she had thrown at him and' struck "her over the head and left icr insensible laying in a stable where she was found and taken back to the house. Boddy's past record is not commendable and several persons have had more or less difficulty with him in various ways. Attempt to Break Jail. Last Thursday was Sheriff Lay- port's birthday and in the evening two of the negros , who wore con fined in jail , were taken up to the Layport mansion to furnish music for an 'evening's entertainment. * * * During their absence , and believ ing that the sheriff's family were reveling in sport and merry mak ing J , one Arley T. Meade made a bold attempt to saw his way out of jail with a eagged edge case knife. He is charged with raising two notes given by Felix Black and Kalph Crabb-from $4.70 and 80.70 respectively to $40.70 and $00.00 , which he had sold to the 1st Xat- ional Bank. The affair had been kept very quiet and Mr. Mcade would have probably gotten off easy but for his own foolish at tempt to get away. His plans were foiled by Eobert Robinson , who happened to be in the court house doing some janitor work , arid as soon as he could ascertain that there was foul work being done , notified Laynorts by tele phone. Thr sheriff and his son were soon on hand and going in stocking feet to the jail door turn ed the key noiselessly and sprang inside. Mr. Meade was up at the window busily sawing away but dropped to the floor in an instant. He had probably been working harder than he was accu3tomed to and finding the progress slow was perhaps better pleased to have Mr. Layport tell him that he need not work so hard. The other prisoners were making no effort apparently to either assist or stop him. It is said that he has made himself very agreeable to a young lady in town whom he perhap would have forgotten had he been successful in/getting'away. 1 Holiday XMAS Presents of Fine China always make > * acceptable gifts.
