It seems he had made a social call on B. J. Gifford and had casually announced in a very deferential manner that he was going to carve Mr. Gifford’s adam’s apple, and the latter objected. Then the marshal did the shadow act and copped the would-be assassin just at the supreme moment. Sobered up Sunday he was fined $1 and costs or $4.80 in c.ll, by Justice Bruner, and evidently thinking that he had something more coming than one drunk for $4.80, he proceeded to get stewed to the gills, but this time he was not seen by the eagle eye of the law and gdt out of town. —o(Proceedings of the first day’s session of the county commissioners: Contract awarded to Rochester Bridge Co. for new bridge in Gillam tp., for $438, and to F.
