' (OURT AT UNION I Judgo Eakin held court in the old court house Monday and Tuesday of this. week. It recalled the former days when Union held the county- capital and lawyer, juror and clients gathered here for the administration of justice. The county seat wa the bone of contention that dwarfed the development of two towns. La Grande neglected the 99 opportunities within her reach to go after the one the had lost. Well they have the county seat; it is theirs; but the feud that ' it engendered will not die durirur the - ara sent generation.
