The jury in the Haas murder trial, after bsins
out from eleven o'clock on Saturday morning
until eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, sent
word to his Honor Judge Lslaud, that they
could not agree, and he came to the court room
aud discharged them. Nine are understood to
have been in favor of q verdict of manslaughter,
and three for scquittal. Of course he must b
tried again.
The next case was that of VIM. Longworth
and VIM. Longworth, ir., his son, indicted fol-
the killing of VIM. Robinson, in the town oi
Dimmick last fall The general outline OF ths
case our readers will remember. A dificulty
about line fence was the origin OF bitter quar-
rel. which resulted in fight between Long
worth, ST., and Robinson, and while the mer
were struggling upon the ground young Long
worth shot Robinson. As the case 10 now o.

not the coming down OF moustache; that toun.
tain from which cometh water-albeit 1t is .
fluid sadly unpopular in this region; that

er does things by halves The company Who
put down the srtes,an we'll, Messrs. Avery, Glib
son, Reddick, Rice, Thomas, Wood, Leland and
Hoes,--we take the names ss they have occurred
to U.S. not knowing who was leader in this public
enterprise, to the erection of this
fountain and gave the water free.
The fountain is so constructed that spaa OF
horses may drink at the north eide, where CO.
pAcious basin Is placed in the iron column, while
on the south the thirsty pedestrian can refresh
himself with the pure water of the artesian well,
feeling fully assured that the water he drinks
has but moment before sprung up from depth
OF five hundred and twenty-five feet below the
surface of the ground, and, consequently, must
be reasonably pure.
The artesian we'll company are willing to give
to the city free use of all the water needed for fire
purposes, or to sprinkle the streets, if the city
will erect a fountain suitable for the purpose.
