OHIO CUES A NmW ef Isssorlsat Cm Dts- iwl ofNew Sarite tea The mills of jnustico continue to grind down at the Comity Seat and tt -Independent repcrta the follow ing: Testimony In a cue in the circuit court Monday and Tuesday waa an eye-opener to peraons who had not realiaed the magnitude of the logan berry induatry and the tact that big money it involved. It was shown that the market quotation for the baby plants last year was f IN per IfOO and sufficient plants could not be secured to meet the demand. The case was that of W. A. Firman vs A. B. Northey and was brought to recover the value of plants alleied to have been taken illegally by de fendant and sold by him. The case was begun Monday and ended Tues day afternoon when the court gave Firman judgment for $1276. An in teresting feature waa that the plants Northey was alleged to have taken wen dug from land owned by him and probably under the assumption that he owned them. The land in question was under lease for one year to Firman, who also leased other tracts adjoining, Light was jhed on loganberry cul ture when n developed that the plant are transplanted for "nursery" purposes, and testimony showed that the plants on the Northey land taken and sold by him had been transplant ed from land leased from a named Holt, while the tips from the Northey place bad been taken to an other tract and when sufficiently de veloped sold to a Yamhill county nur sery. The suit of Gay vs Gregory, in volving a claim for 110,000 damages, was set for Wednesday, but postponed because of the absence m Canada of material witnesses. A number of special Jurors had added to the regular panel and they appeared Wednesday, but found noth. rag to do. They were 8. A. D. Meek, Jake Schneider, Nels Larson, C. Bla- ser, W. G. Walker, Charles Bos, John Ireland, B. Lament, August Tews and Clause Rhese. - Two cases heard after the Inde pendent report of last week were E F. Burliugham vs. Gertrude Brooks and Andrew Osborn vs, the same de fendant Both cases were actions to collect for wares alleged to have been delivered and were taken under ad visement by the court In spite of the number of indict ments returned by the grand jury the county jail still remains empty, for the accused have either appeared and pleaded guilty and taken their medicine or are out on bail on pleas of not guilty. Joseph Gateway, indicted for non support, plesded guilty and was par oled on a sentence of one year and costs on condition that he pay $26 per month alimony. Jonn a.

Some came to our land to search for a fountain. Reported to give perpetual youth, Through valley they went, and over tne mountain. But found the statement mistaken in truth. For ages untold man has been a-seek- xng, Something to renew their vigor and iiie; Quite recently we have heard the press SDeaJcuur How it has been solved with a sur geon's knife.
