Efforts For Settlement Being Made -Warrants Withdrawn From Sheriff-Cases Stand Open. The Pomarija cases. mtention of which has beeni made, have for the present been conitinuted. As has been stated. the warrants for the arr-est of sev-eral prominent citizens of Pomarija on the charge of coinspir-acy and at tempt to mur-der,. were placed in the hands oif Sheriff Bufor-d, whoc notified the par-ties to appear at Newber-ry for a prelimin at-y hear-ing at somel( time when it would suit aill patrties for the hear ing. The (late was fixed for- Wednes (lay and( they came. Their at torneys and the attorneys for Mr. C. H. Counits 2ot together- and after con sul tatjin, it was decided t hpt t he warr-ar. ts should he withdritawnt from lhe hands of the sheriff, and this was done and no preliminar-y was held. The war irants are still in thle hands of Magistr-ate Leitzsey. Thei purpose of wvithidrawinti these warrants and( lettintg thme matter stand over for- the presentt, is to make efforts to see if the differenices now existing beCtween the parties int Poma i-ia eiinnot be amicably adljustedi. It will be v-ery mucht better for all parties conicerned and for the comn muinity if tlte efforts of the attor neys as here inidicated ean be success fully carried out. Pomar-ia is one of the best business points ini the state, attd it has good atnd live business men, attd no good can come to thenm or to their comn inunity by a continnal divisioni, and it is hoped that they may be induced to bur-y their differences and get to gether- and go to work for the up butilding of their community.
