Holmes, in commenting upon the rather' remarkable fact that this week, foe the seventh time in two years, a jury has been dispensed"with. at sittings of the High and County Courts in this county, pointed out that this means a substantial saving to the ratepayers of the county.. Al- though several cases were down on the County Court docket for, this last week to beetried by jury, ar- rangements were made with counsel: to have these tried by the judge, and in this one instance a saving to the county of about $750 was effected. Mr. Holmes believes that In the last two years the saving to the county in this way has easily been from *4,000' to $5,000. Farmer is Injured By. Don't forget nomination on Friday of this week.

A threshing machine owned by E. G. Kraft was being hauled into the barn by a lively team of horses when a line snapped, causing the, horses to swerve and the large ma- chine toppled over the side of the bank, falling on its side. Mr. Hart- man was pinned underneath, with, on- ly his legs visible, and at first it was feared that he was dead, but after shovelling away the snow. he was able to crawl out from under the machine. He owes his life to the. fact that he fell into deep snow, wich prevented the heavyweight from crushing him. Dr. R. H. Tay- lor, who examined him, found thathe had suffered four fractured ribs.
