The Eair-partial List of Pre-

The Eair-partial List of Pre-
niOms.
The nineteenth annual exhibition
of the Marion county Agricultural
Society was held on the Society's
grounds a half mile north of Knox
Vile on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday Of last week. The wealth
err was delightful throughout the
time.
THE FIRST DAY
was given mainly to making entries
aud otherwise preparing for the ex-
hibition. The tardinesS which usu-
ally characterizes this work seems to
be unavoidable; at least it is but
just to say that the officers of the So
ciety did all that men could do to IA
cilitate the preliminary business of
the Fair. Many of the exhibitors
cannot, or think they cannot, afford
to give from three to five days to the
Fair. Stock and other articles
which should be placed upon the
ground previous to the opening are
frequently not catered until the
morning of the second day; and
this is the day of special interest
and upon which most visitors are
present, under such an arrangement
as that laid down in the programme
for this year.
SECOND DAY.
From early morning until near
noon visitors and exhibitors came
i'm from all parts of the county
in respectable members, and made
the attendance and receipts at the
gate as large and satisfactory as could
have been reasonably anticipated,
though not half SO great as they
should have been. Visitors gener-
ally spent the day pleasantly, and
doubtless went home not greatly
disappointed. Most of them realiz-
ed however, that there was lack of
amusements. In an hour or two
they were able to make casual exam
ination of all there was on the
grounds for exhibition; and then
they wanted something more to in
terest and amuse them. No pre-
miums having been offered for fast
horses, hundreds who always feel
A greater interest in trials of speed
upon the track than in any other
part of the Fair, were not in atten-
dance. The enthusiasm incident to
the walking, trotting and pacing
races, was entirely absent; and the
verdict was very general-perhaps
almost unanimous, that the expert
ment of holding Fair without ex-
hitting horses for speed was fail
ure.
THIRD DAY.
The attendance was very small in
deed on the last day of the Fair, at
tributed mainly to causes above men
toned. Since the organization Of
the society there has probably not
been Fair given that, with good
weather, was so meagerly patroniz-
ed on the last day.
AMONG THE HORSES.
There were more and better hor-
ses on exhibition than we ever saw
on the grounds before, although none
of the fast animals appeared. We
venture the assertion that there was
no better show of Normans at any
county Fair in Iowa this year.
Dan'l Smick, of Knoxville, exhibit
ted his imported thoroughbred Nor
man stallion Bernay, dapple gray
years old, weight $50 pounds, and
secured the lst premium in class 3,

his imported Norman Neptune light

Dist jet Court Proceedings.

Last Saturday the evidence in the case of Refugio Rivera was begun, the jury having been obtained the day previous, and their names were published in THE CITIZEN. There was a great deal of feel ing manifested in this case, anj to get jury l20 persons were summoned. The case continued on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday on which last day the jury retired to make up their yer dict. At 7:30 p. m. the court convened at the request of the jury, who asked to again hear that portion of the charge relating to intoxlcation. The whole charge was read to them and they again retired, and ap- peared next morning at 9 o'clock with a verdict of murder in the first degree, and Saturday (this) morning at 9 o'clock was set for passing sentence upon the prisoner.
 The case of the Territory vs. Joseph T. Holmes, which occupied the four first days of the court and resulted in a hung jury,n was again called on Thursday, and the following jury finally Ohtalned: J. M. OchOa, F. Tapie, k. Plumridye, F. J. Bealey, C. G. Jones, William Wakefield, B 'rney Palm, J. $. Hunt, J. Lucke, J. G. Hucke, completion of this jury, the following order was made winch explains itself:
 In the district court, first judicial dis trict, Territory of Arizona vs. Jo eph T. Holmes. In this case, d jury having been impanneled and sworn, before any wit ness was examined, one of the jurors, to- wit, Frederick G. H ughes, declared to the court that he did not consider himself d competent juror to try the case, that he had a firm and settled conviction that the defendant was guilty and that he would never consent to any verdict except one or murder in the first degree, whereupOn, on motion of defendants counsel and after waiver by the defendant in person of ali objection to the jurors discharge, and also waiver of any right 10 object tO said pro- ceeding, or to found any proceedings thereon, and after express declaration of defendant in person that the motion to discharge the said juror was at his own re- quest, and all of said waivers above nam- ed having also been agreed to ill open court by counsel for detendent, it is order ed that the juror F. G. Hughes be dIscharS- ed from the panel.
 E. F. DUNNE, Judge.
 We are informed that for the first and present trial Of Holmes, 164 persons have been summoned as jurors. Aside from the general aversion of people to be jurors in murder case, there seems to be at this term more people who have expressed un- qualified opinions aS to the guilt or lnnO- cence of persons, than we have ever known here. Then the country over, peO- ple who come under the head of buSi- ness" ones, seek every preteXt to avoid jury duty. Notwithstanding life and large property interests are at stake, men Of much property or business, are seldom se- cured or juries. This nearly always Occa- sionS delay and expense, and sometimes works great iRjus. ice to parties litigant. as courts and apparently lawmakers are concerned.
