Mrs. Judge DeArmond gave an elegant supper to select number of legal gentleman who were attending our circuit, court on last Tuesday evening. There were present Judge Gantt and Joshua Ladue, of Clinton, Messrs Logan and Sparks, of War- rensburg, and Dr. Orr, Court Repor- ter. It seems from the circuit court de- cision in the Slayback land case that Judge DeArmond entertained different views from those so volu- bly expressed in Mc. Stone's letter to the Democrat, in regard to the legality of the notice published in the Tres. But then it was the opinion of the people Mr. Stone was p'eading for. Joe Hawkins, the fellow arrested at Rich Hill for stealing a buggy f.om T. C. Robinson, at Sprague and now corfined in the county jail, is as crazy as a bed bug, so Sheriff Glazebrook informsus. He preaches, prays and sings constantly and im- agines that he has been sent to the jail by the Lord to save souls. The authorities have not yet decided what disposition to make of him. Albert Badgley’s delivery horse appreciates the fact that he belongs to a staunch democrat and as a dem- onstration of this fact he took a play- ful little turn the other day down the back alley and brought up against the Republican office sign with enough force to completely demolish the same. He smashed up the wag- on some besides skinning his own legs and breaking outa window glass in the bank room. Clothing House. California.
