On Tuesday night of last week, Chas. A. Smith, clerk in Thomas Mailigan's store, was awakened by an unusual noise in the front part of the store, and with pistol in hand proceeded to investigate the cause. In stocking feet Mr. Smith moved silently along behind the counter to the center of the room, and at the same time lighting a match in order to get a better view of the surroundings.

At the first glare of the match he saw a crouching figure on the lloor outside of the counter, and was greeted with the words, "None of that, pard." Almost instantly a pistol shot broke the stillness of the room, and a bullet from the burglar's pistol went crashing among the kittles on the shelves, barely missing Mr. Smith, The day, as usual, was appropriately observed at this place.

Brown and acute legal minds can find no fault with tho title, but it seems that some Washington land attorney thinks otherwise, for he has instigated a local lawyer to jump forty acres of the Brown tract. The matter is now in the state supreme court and from there it goes to the United States for final adjudication. This will consume five years, and during all that time the title must remain clouded by a claim which tho local attorneys pronounce untenable.
