'Have you any money?" asked the court. •'No," replied Osborne, "hut my father will look after hiring a lawyer, I guess."

Attn is point Fred Canine, who has been epresenting Osborne thus .far, spoke Uj and said that in two or three days an application would be liled in the mat'••r. "There is no need of any application being tiled," said the court, 'as the county has provided for cases of this kiud. Mr. Osborne. I shall appoint F. 1'.

Osborne sat down and sjazed for a moment in a peculiar manner at Mr. Canine. Deputy Barton then shackled him again and took him I away. Mr. Canine proceeded at once to his otlice. He said to THE JOURNAL that he would go on and prepare his application to be appointed Osborne's attorney and that he anticipated no trouble. If the application should be I refused, however, he stated that the case would be taken up on that ground.
