A Royal Good Time
Justice Court
Justice Grants Court was occupied
yesterday afternoon with the case, the
State of Oregon vs Earnest Lewie. Gro
ceryniea Mc Coy is the prosecuting
witness. The point at issue seems to
be tho whereabouts of some thirty or
forty sacks of potatos. It seems that
both Mr Lewis and Mr Mc Coy bad
potatoes stored in the 8ommer house
basement and when the final accounting
came there was a shortage. There did
not seem to be as many sacks as Mr
McCoy tbooght there should be. There
fore the action of law,' Justice Grant
will render his decision this morning.
It Is altogether likely that the mistake
witlbe discovered as it is a certain fact
that neither party iu the case is guilty
of willfully btcaling.
