Ten Citizens Named By Just for Percentage H. W. F. Conducted by If Uklah doesn't have a band in full performance by the 4th of July it won't be the fault of the lack of effort. Lou Hansen, of the C.

and H. Stationery store is working hard on the plan, and already has about twenty musicians signed up, and will hold the first practice next Tuesday evening at 7:30 in the agsembly hall over the city fire house. Yo for ation And a is one Mry. of representative the A. ardent music Bernhard, boosters organiz- who made the remark that she would do her best to help get a band started even if she had to get out and play all the instruments herself.

And now for the folklore. But, the question arises, how old must 8 story be before it can he called! folklore? This one is only about Lwo weeks old. And it's, true. 1 know it's true, because lawyer told it to me. And you know what a truthful lot they are.

It seems that over on the coast there is a prominent business by the name of Jerry. (We'll him that anyway.) Now Jerry got right promiscuous with bunch of booze, and somebody tipped off the constable, and the constable had to make the arrest. After a lot of; getting ready, the constable and his prisoner set out for Ukiah. All the way to the county sent, Jerry volubly explained to the constable that he should never have been arrested like a common criminal. But the constable was obdurate.

Duty is duty, says he. And so they came finally to the Palace Hotel, where Jerry insisted on being represented by counsel. He named two of the local legal luminary, and the constable called them by phone. Sc But only one of the attorneys alrived, but he was important and dignified, and, after a little talk, attorney and client left the hotel ter promising to be In court next! morning by nine o'clock. But at the appointed hour, the courtroom was empty, except for the and his clerk, and the What to do? Co To Then it WAS that the constable remembered the name of the other Inwyer, and he hot-footed it for his office.

But this officer of the court had seen neither hide nor hair of the pair. To To Finally, in desperation, the constable remurked, "Say, if Jerry has skipped out and left me in court without any prisoner, I'll know he's! no friend of mine." To So That's all the story. For the sake of the curious, it should be added that the two did show up some time in the afternoon, attorney and client, both recovering from a wild night. The moral of the story? Oh, yes, here it is. Never be arrested by a friend.

Co fo Yo Meeting A Challenge Lilburn Gibson had encountered rather a difficult witness. At length, exasperated by the man's evasive answers, he asked him if he was acquainted with any of the jury. "Yes, sir," replied the witness, "More than half of them." "Are you willing to swear that you know more than half of demanded the locul Demosthenes. The other man thought quickly. "If it comes to thut," he replied, "I am willing to swear that I know more than you and all of them put together." To "Did you give this man the third degree?" asked Sheriff Williams.

"Yes, we browbeat him, badgered him with every question we could chink of." "And what did he do?" said' "He dozed off and merely now and then, 'Yes, my dear, you are perfectly right'." Co Yo An Irishman went into the Purity outcher shop and asked for a sheep mead. "And please cut it off as. near the tail 88 possible," he requested. So No Oscar, the simple cynic, say's there's lots of people come from good families, but, oh, how they have traveled. tc Co We hear that Congress, in Its drive for economy, has the following bills up for consideration: Less mucilage for two cent postage stamps.

Road Builders Held Liable For Warning Signs At Detours Contractors. who fail to see that proper warning signs are posted on detours are liable if motorists are injured as a direct result of the absence of the warnings. This principle was established last week by Presiding Judge Hugh L.

Preston of the third district court of appeal in affirming a $1,764 judgment given to Mr. and Mrs. Pat J. Folkins by the Del Norte county superior Court. The Folking sued J.

E. Johnston, Stockton contractor, for $10,500 damages after Mrs. Folking was injured when the machine in which' she was riding crashed into a gravel pile on non-barricaded, nonmarked road dear Crescent City in March, 1929. The new state highway being constructed by Johnston crossed, in several places, the old county road. At the point of the accident, which occurred late at night, no barricade had been placed and no warning signs were erected.

Johnston, in fighting the suit, contended it was the duty of the state engineer in charge to post: such signs, but Judge Preston ruled both the contractor and the supervising engineer are responsible and that both "owed a duty to the public in warning travelers of the likelihood of injury and of the existing hazard."
