Two other farmers received sentencés of thirty days imprisonment, and all the six farmers tried, were given one year suspended sentences in Fott Madison Penitentiary. Appeal bonds were fixed at $1,000 for each prisoner, The cases grew out of the incident that occurred April 27 last, when the irate farmers hauled Judge Bradley off the bench when he refused to stop mortgage foreclosure actions pending in his court. The Judge made the mistake of insulting the farmers in court on top of giving legal assistance to the banks and insurance comi- panies that are swindling the farmers out of their land, homes and live- stock HOP PICKERS GET NO BENEFIT FROM HIGH HOP PRICES RICKREALL, Ore.—-Beer has not prosperity yet to the inated against.
