We wish him a pleasant voyage and a safe .return. WHILE the Richmond Band was pitying in front of Perry & Owen's store on Saturday 'afternoon last, a team that was standing Uiere broke loose and ran away. 'While turning the corner in front of . Blake's store, running »t full speed, Mike O 'Brien rushed out and caught the ofl l ior-e by the hit . and hung on with such tenac­ ity that he brought them'Hp i.i front of Dr. Fegers with everything right side up. I t wm a daring and danger­ ous act. and Mike Is deserving of all praise, as he saved the owner a good Mem in d' imag' a. SOME individual with m«ro d*vil- isliness t i tan brains ha*' -been cutting and disfiguring the new fence in front of Dr. O. J . Howard's residence, A man or boy who h.as no more sense ti tan to commit such an act deserves the severest punishment the law will inlllct . The doctor has spent money to build a fence that is not only an or­ nament to his residence but to the town, and it is low and mean to dis­ figure i t . If done thoughtlessly, a proper punishment would be well to wake up the more decent part of nature, and If for cussedness the individual would do well to bear in mind that an avenging Nemesis ison his track.

Last Thursday, a youiijf man in the employ of John Dermont, was cleaning a pistol, ("didn't know It was loaded") when it was discharged, the ball, a 32- calibre, entering his body.

That 's all r ight, and if the Comity is legal.y bound IO pav, i t should be done without an expensive law unit ; l>ut If i t not holden, then the Board Super­ visors will probably fight i t to the Su­ premo Court and back again if neces­ sary. The bridge case of McHenry shows that the Hoard is not easily frightened.--Marengo Republican. The Town of Richmond does not wish to ' ' fr ighten" the Board of Supervisors or anybody else. She lias a just and lawful claim against the Coui»fT. Thst claim the Board of Supervisors refuse to honor. Richmond has no course left but to be defrauded out of l ier just duos or appeal to the courts. Her people elect to take tlH latter. All she asks is simple, square justice. She is playing no game of bin I?. She only asks her just dues. That an expensive li t iga­ tion is necessary to secure them, is to be-regretU'd. But the blamo-for tire expense of the same, both to the County and Town must justly be chargable to the Btanl of Supervisors. The shearing festival of the Northern Ill inois Merino Sheep Breeders ' Asso­ ciation came too late in the week for us to get in a report for last week's PLAINDEALER, but so many have re­ quested a report in the P.

Wi think we «aw at t int festival the finest specimens of the sheep tribe that our eyes ever beheld. George Eldredge gave the use of, his barn for the hous­ ing of the sheep and F. W.
