j The announcement of the resig
1 nation of Deputy Marshal Dreibel
bis has stirred up several Rampart
ers who are desirous of tilling that
gentleman’s official shoes. It is re
ported that C. B. Allen, S. K.
Heeter, Ed Hopkins and Sinclair
are out for the appointment.
N. C. Agent John Duncan states
that his recent trip to Tauana was
on company business and not in
i the inteiests of Sam Heeter or any
| other bidder on the government
! wood contracts. Mr. Duncan said
I he took down with him a number
of bids for many woodcutters, and
' when these were handed by him to
I the quartermaster his connection
ceased. This is justice to Mr
Duncan, as the above rumor was
wholly false.

The trial ot Cornelius Cronin,
who on a warrant sworn out by
“Hot Air Bob'’ Harold, was
brought from Birches to Rampart,
a distauceof 135 miles, on a charge
of the larceny of five cords of
wood, wras heard before a jury last
Saturday. The jury was out barely
ten minutes and returned a verdict
of acquittal. The trial and charge
was one of the most farcical ever
heard in Rampart, and “Hot Air
Bob’^accused the defendant’s at
torney of handing him “bull con”
and criticised the court for allow
ing it. Bob escaped scot free and
the government paid the costs.
