The prosecutor stated that Swain had seen l-ervice in the regular army and had leen discharged because he was mentally afflicted. Mr. Jessup stated that he had learned that the man was not responsible for his actions and that Swain believed he was home from the army on furlough. The prosecutor said that every now and then Swai.n would prepare to rejoin his regiment but was persuaded to remain at home by his relatives who told him that the war department had extended his furlough. Mr. Jessup stated that considering the condition of Swain he thought it best not to prosecute him on the charge on which he was indicted, find he said that the unfortunate soldier, who still insists on wearing the colors of his country, had promised Jiim never to reieat the offense. j
There are several cases on the criminal docket, including juvenile cases, which were not disposed of during th January term of court. Judge Fox told the prosecutor that he intended to clear up all tho:-e caos Monday and instructed him to U ' i hand bright end early.

sheep and will hold sixty-two gallons.

the tank filled and in cold weather

with oil. This it is said, can be done at a maximum cost of 4 cents per day.
