Bid well, was very serious at last reports. Assessor John Blair arrived from I'aisley Tuesday evening. Mr. Biair says Henry Hanan, who wbh so danger ously ill at I'aisley, and who was op erated upon by Irs. Steiner and Witharn, is now improving and will re cover. His case was thought to be hopeless. C. B. Parker came down from the ChewHiican country the first of this week. dies, now has large land and stock interests up there, and is only here on a visit to his many friends. He looks as though that locality was agreeing with him, and bis friends here are glad to see hirn looking well. New Era. Mrs. .1. 1'. Vancy had the misfortune to fall and break her arm last Frday. She was crossing the street opposite the residence of J. Q. Willits, when she slipped and fell on the ice, striking to the ground heavily and breaking her left arm in two places one fracture lelow the elbow and two in the bones near the wrist. John K. Kaker and Judge Spencet, two of the attorneys for the men charged with lynching in Modoc, say they are satisfied with the verdict of the jury. Well, we should say so. However, con sidering the manner in which the case was conducted there never was a prob ability from the first week of the trial that the men would be convicted. There was no mail from either West or South Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. The blockade appears to be all along the line in every direction. The "(ireat Eastern" and "Great North ern" are the only on-time carriers' in this neck o' the woods. The snow is deep between Lakeview and Warner, but George Stevens gets In on time.

Taxes are rolling into the sheriff's ollice at a lively rate which isan evidence of prosperity in Lake county, despite the dull eason of the year when little money is iu circulation and business is black. Sheriff J Kinlap says be will be able to make b good showing on tax collections by March 15th. One day last week the Chewaucan Land & Cuttle Company paid in 1 1011.85 tax money. T. K. L'ernard of the firm of J. E. Bernard & Son, is not only a "cracka jack" on selling wagons and implements, but is a daisy with the saw and hammer. Pin ing the dull season Tom usually puts in bin time at something. Upon a visit to the store last week an Examiner representative was shown u sample of his handiwork in the way of a cuttlery case, with snugly fitting drawers to hold the various styles carried by the firm, and a clasp on the outside holds a sample. It is as neat a piece of mech anism as can be produced in a factory. Irvin Ay res. mmmmmmmmmmmamMMAMmiwxnmmrmm iujimij h H. C. Whitworth. Geo. H. Ayres.
