The Maccuhee picnic that was given
at this place last Kuturdny waa a suc
cess in every nape:. The crowd wax
not as large as it would have been hud
it not rained, but there were at least
500 or more in ,'own any way. On
account of the rain the races etc., were
out near the Band Hall. Every thing
of the day went off nicely, and the
committee on arrangements deserves
much credit in the way they eonduct
the day's program.
We are sorry that we were not
able to secure a list of those who re
ceived the prises. We were expecting
Ihe committee to furnish them, but
they failed to do so.

The Ochoco Review tells this: Last
Tuesday James Brackett, a boy who
resides on Bridge creek, was examined
before Judge Summer on a charge of
stealing a horse from Frank Foster.
The evidence showed that Foster and
the boy had traded horses, and the
former having conoluded that he bad
tbe worst of the bargain, took the
horse he had received from tbe boy to
Brackett's home and traded back
without the boy's consent. Young
Braokett iu turn took the horse back
to Foster's place and without his con
sent got the one lie had faded for,
leaving the horso be had traded to
Foster. Foster then had him arrested
for larceny. After the evidence J udge
Summer discharged the defendant and
assessed the costs of prosecution, J154,
to Foster.
