Mannan, of Tetft, old neighbors and friends, are having their troubles over that ever perplexing trouble, a line fence. Sands claims title to a strip of ground 29 feet wide by 125 feet long, in the town of Tefft. Several witnesses were here to testify Monday. The cost of the trial is probably wortlr more than the ground and the expense of coming down here to have the suit tried. The court has the case under advisement. The football season this year had a large causalty record and it is quite probable that another attempt will be made to modify the game. But football does not seem to be so dangerous at that as hunting and during the month of November there were 87 deaths resulted from hunting accidents, while 68 others were injured. Most of those who were killed were men who were supposed to be acquainted with fire arms and able, to use them cautiorisly. Up to date we believe we would sooner hand a boy a padded sweater and a pig skin than a shot gun.
