A family feud which has existed between two families in Twin gulch for some time broke out into a row Monday -afternoon, Gestating in one of the parties being brought before Justice Kellogg Tuesday mornim; on a charge of assault and battery. The evidence adduced was very conflicting, but the judge finally brought order out of chaos by fining the defendant and costs, amounting in the aggre- gate to $18.40. County Attorney /Lay appeared for the prosecution and the defendant acted as his own lawyer. Shortly after the trial one of the wit- nesses for the defense and the com- plainant had a scrap, the latter being knocked senseless by a blow from the fist of his assailant. No charges were preferred. The recent wreck between this place and Corbin recalls to mind the fact that if the Great Northern does not take some steps to put the trestle near Corbin in repair that sonic time in the near future the people in this v.icinity will - witness one of the greatest catas- trophes in the history of that railroed. A few days, ago the PfON/ifift man 'visited the trestle, having heard ninny ' stories of its unsafe condition, and watched the local passenger train pass over. The structure is about 100 feet high, and when the local..pa.ssed over swayed from side to side like a ship in a storm. The piles under the bridge have all rotted off close to the ground, and the immense weight of a heavily 'loaded train is supported by a few pieces of light material that are liable to give away at any moment and cause fearful loss Of li h• arid property.
