Bec. ,16 , in i f ! which the Judge seemed . to think , I that we we're accusing ' him ' of ' dere , j liction of duty as district judge. i . . I I W 7 e did not know at the time of I writing . the article referred to . , t J 'f } : i. . that he would preside at this \ term : : I "of"Court. Vie gave that matter i no thought and had no thought of ! , 1 - - , ; I . criticising . or reflecting . , caustically - " upon the work of our .district : I. ! . . . judges in this . country. The get- ' : .ting "a . postponement on a trivial I ' , excuse" was not - intended to . , ' re - ' r J' , . .flect upon the judge granting a I .continuance , which , under the statutes , an attorney may demand and the judge may grant. This : , 'may be within the legal privileges , . - - yet seem trivial enough when , the . public understands ' that a delay is the important factor in some cases. I ' . in proof : : reading the above refer- i Ted."tb\article , . r we cut out . a.para - , . [ rgraph which seemed disconnected I ' AV and did not notice that it might ' Jjbe : : inferred" t the judge was _ " ' Cthe subject of ' . criticism , though ' : . , . .we dojiot believe the people who * read . ; : the - ; article thought we re- ' ! ferred'to the judges of the district ? ! * . - . -court . . nor the county judge or z { r : , sheriff , and we did not so intend it. . .

District court last week spent : three days on the Loomis and r - Grain case , and the jury j said the.y were ' not guilty. It's up to them to say in jury trial , but when the county has a sheriff who can ' catch 'em and the county-hires a prose cution that shows up facts it , does look like1 . a - jur.v.sh uld' not be s\yeptloff * their'feet by a plea from the attorney . ? ' for the defense who seems to be an adept at throwing a crying spell. If that's the price . of freedom with'tUem let them re- joice within th-emselyes' for the public generally : : ! believes , them to" be guilty. Witnesses told of their employing the man to get the horses and of receiving them in the night at a price of $5 per head for 14 head and that Loomis and , Crain paid $5 down to t bind the bargain. . Also that a special agreement was made that if the Indian got caught he was not to squeal on Loomis and Crain and they were , not to squeal on the Indian if they were caught. . Judge Sullivan seems to be pretty - good at throwing : a crying spell and it was near Christmas and the case lasted three days and -Crain and Loomis are free. . We don't think they will try . to get any more cheap Indian , ponies for awhile. } It must have . cost something for that crying spell. Judge Sullivan don't cry without being pretty well tickled , v \ o guess. . James Eothwell vs W. E.

' . The men wanted a raise of 50 cents per day and selected a man of their number as spokesman for the single men and another for the men with teams. They worked till noon Mon ' day and quit ' ' to await the raise which was . given and the men start- ed to work. The men who acted as spokesmen for the strikers were re- fused employment , we hear , and were also given the cold shoulder by those who went back to work. Shouldn't they contribute from their pay to make full wages to these spokesmen who lost their ' jobs in an effort to benefit the , whole , who are now profiting b I what was sa d. in their behalf ?

Mr : Moon was jll but a few I days but he was ' not ' very strong. I He caught a cold \vhile siding the" north side of the Kazda building , perhaps better kndwn to the old timers as the Efner building on ; Main street. He . grew worse and finally the extreme we'ather and possibly other exposure developed pneumonia. I I Mr. Moon bought hides and furs and sold windmills. He was also a carpenter and did con- - * o 4 ' iderable building around town. He was honest in his dealings and radical in belief. He was earnest- ly conscie scious and a follower of. the gospel teachings. Both ' he and his wife have been ' ' . long mem bers uf -the . \'I. E. church.
