Graves the city of Butler has sued the bondsmen of the N. 0. Nelson Manufacturing Co., because of failure of the septic tank to prop- erly care for the sewerage run into it. The petition recites two counts, one for $2,800 on account of the failure of the tank to do the work guaranteed, and the second for $3,380 on labor and material. Parties were in this county and gathered up 35 hounds, for which they paid an average of $7 each, says the St. Clair County Democrat. They were shipped south, where they will be used in tracking game this winter. It was a pretty stiff price to pay for dogs. Generally speaking, the dogs of St. Clair county are not worth 70 cents per dozen, and if the parties will come again and advertise their wants in advance they can get several carloads at 25 rer cent of what they paid.
