It was supposed that with

to n low figure. Lee J. Cary, chair-

the first two weeks in April, begin­
ning on the first and ending on the
IB, subscriptions fo r the stamps nod

well acquainted with the business,
should manage it and receive a salary

that liae. It te alee alleged that Hol­
lister kept the books o f this business,
(bo, and that be has never made any
accounting or paid Hammond any o f
the sslary he was to receive.
A case also is cited In wWeh Ham­
mond wrote a brief fo r Hollister for
which he was to pay a fas o f $100 and
for which Hammond has never re­
ceived anything.
Altogether, as Attorney Hammond
states his case, ha has been the goat

from start to finish. W s bear rumors
that this ease may never come to trial
but will probably be settled out o f
court. If that is the ease it would
look as if lawyers didn’t like to take

at Fairview—the form er Wm. Betty«

day morning. It caught in the roof,
either from sparks from the chimney

neighbors that her house was on fire.
