A man by the name of A. J. Kai ser, from Junction City, went on the bond as one of the sureties, and W. G. Emery as the other. The Court held that a stool pig eon had no more right to break ine law man anyone else, i he complaining witness is Frank Wade, son of Lee Wade. The warrant of arrest was served by constable Coffleld of Newport. Stool pigeons in this county are very much in dis-repute, and but few person will believe them under oath.

TllA n . It... I . . . The tax payers are tired of this and I don't think a single con Fiction will be had. The old plan of the Btoolplgeon work was to pretend to be sick, or if not sick himself some member of his family was, and in this way he would get the sympathy of the doctor or druggist, get the whis key, and then he would have them pulled. What is meaner or more despicable, than such actions? You could hot see such a man's soul with a spy glass it would be so little. This kind of work will cost the county not less than $1200 or $1500. I don't see why the county officers could not handle this kind of business, and save the people that much money. The lawmay be bad, and the District Attor ney should be reasonably cer taln of getting a conviction be fore bringing the case. The open Beason for stool pigeons "begins next Saturday and some of the pigeons may get Into trouble If they continue this kind of work.
