THE Nuws has received a new news
paper folding machine. This is not
published particularly as a matter of
news but more as a record of persistency ,
it being nu exceedingly old and shelf
worn story to those who have taken an
active part in installing new machines
nud removing those that have been
tried and found wanting. Tun Nr.ws
started out some time ago to secure a
machine that would do the work laid
out for it to do , and has tried something
less than a dozen recommended by the
manufacturers as being the particular
machines that would hold the job , but
thev have all developed weaknesses and
been discarded. The arrival of this
new machine is therefore merely an
other chapter in n long drawn out and
somewhat tedious story. It is to be
hoped that this is the final chapter but
from previous experience there is no
warrant in assuming that it is. Time
will tell.
The story of an interesting battle
comes down from Rushville , in which
O. L. Harum and wife were the com

Sweeney struck Harum over the head
with his fist and Harum knocked
Sweeney down. The other two
Sweeneys then took a hand and Mrs.
Harum rushed into the melee to aid her
husband. The elder Sweeney was
struggling with Mrs. Harnm for posses
sion of a shot gun when the weapon
was discharged , the load narrowly
missing Haruui's head. Then Sweeney
shot at Harnm with a rifle and Harum
returned the fire , killiutr a horse for
Sweeney. The Sweeney's then made a
get-away but were afterwards brought
into court. Jame Sweeney was fined
$75 and costs for assault on Harnm , $50
and costs for his attack on Mrs. Harum
and John and Henry Sweeney were
fined $25 and costs each.
FOR SALE A good driving horse ; also
