while 
acting  as  deputy  clerk,  he  took  the  books  home 
to  work  on  them  at  night,  and  forgot  to  return 
them.  Mr.  Whitehill  is  a bit  absent  minded  at 
times  and  such  an  explanation  would  certainly 
be  entirely  satisfactory  to  the  grand  jury.

IN  COUNTY  JAIL  AFTER  SHOOTING

Alfred  Job,  Sr.,  and  Alfred  Job,  Jr.,  are 
under  indictments  for  shooting  at  John  Cole- 
man. The  bond  of  the  young  man  was  fixed 
at  $2500  and  that  of  the  old  gentleman  at  $1500. 
Not  being  able  to  furnish  bond,  they  are  now 
guests  at  the  hotel  de  Lockhart.  John  Coleman 
and  the  Jobs,  who  are  neighbors,  living  a few 
miles  east  of  town,  have  not  been  getting  along 
pleasantly  for  some  years.  About  a year  ago 
the  Jobs  became  somewhat  aggressive  and  made 
things  interesting  for  Coleman  by  shooting  at 
him.  This  was  very  annoying  to  Coleman,  as  it 
interfered  with  his  work  of  washing  gold  from 
the  soil  of  his  ranch,  and  like  a man  who  has 
respect  for  the  law  he  made  complaint  against 
them.  The  last  grand  jury  did  not  have  time 
to  go  into  details  of  the  case,  which  was  con- 
tinued over  until  the  present  term,  with  the 
above  results.  It  is  high  time  that  this  pleasant 
pastime  of  shooting  at  neighbors  should  be 
stopped.
