Patrick Johnson, who was 'shot in a riot at Chasm Falls some weeks ago } has entirely recovered and is at work as well as ever. The wound turned out to be only a flesh wound over the ribs, and, as the bullet was never found and the flesh was not deep over the ribs, it is believed that a rib stopped the bullet and that it fell out when Johnson's clothes were first removed after the casualty and was not seen.

The assessors of Malone have- always adopted a fair and just policy toward the railroads, and, as a result, the town never has any trouble with those corporations and is not burdened with law suits.
