You have all sworn that you had not made up
your minds, and were not conscious OF any BIAS
or prejudice If it is shown that any one man
on that panel has been tampered with, or went
into that box with his mind made up, shall
see that he is made an example of to all Others
to show that they can't 60 into jury box IN

HOW THE JURY sTooDs
The jury were then discharged, and mis-
trial was entered upon the back of the lndlct-
ment. On Monday night, when the jury re,
tired to consider the case the opinion prevailed
very generally in the community that there
would be mistrial-that the jury would not
agree upon verdict, and, singular to relate,
public rumor had it that the jury would stand
eleven for the acquittal of the defendant a. ana
one for conviction. 1t may also be stated that
it was generally believed that W. 81. Ahrens
would be the Juror who would "stick out for
Bowen" THAT being the popular phrase.
Ahrens was generally spoken of as one OF
Bowen's we'll known henchmen, and it was
predicted that he would never consent to ver-
dict of acquittal. When the jury were dis
charged, the Court having Instructed them
that they were not bound to secrecy as to what
transpired in the jury room, it was ascertained
that on the first vote on Monday night eleven
of the jurymen voted for acquittal of the de-
fendant, and one for his conviction, and that
this w. II. Ahrens was the juror who consti-
tuted the minority. The case was then talked
over for long time, but a second vote was not
taken until Tuesday morning, when Ahrens
announced that two of the colored jurymen,
Nat Barnwell and Peter Brown, had come over
to his side. Upon the second vote, on Tuesday
morning, the two jurymen referred to voted
with him for the conviction of the defendant.
After this there was deadlock, and, as has
been stated, there being no prospect of an
agreement, the jury were discharged. 1t has
also been ascertained that Nat. Barnwell and
Peter Brown, the two jurymen who voted with
Ahrens, took no part whatever in the discus
sion of the case in the jury-room, and did not
seem to understand much about it.
The result having been generally anticipated
in the community, there was very.little surprise
expressed when it was made known.

AN Iowa LOVE SroRy.-The Cedar Falls
Gazette tells this: A young lady living few
miles ont of Cedar Falls took it into her head
to 20 to Kansas to teach school, and a young
fellow that had been keeping company with her
went to Nebraska to make himself home
Well, the young lady thought she would come
home, SO she sent her de-saddle and some 9TH
er things on before she started, but by some
accident she was taken to Sioux City, where
she had to stay all night In the meantime the
young man had got up house, and finding it
lonesome work living alone, sent tor his two
sisters. He went to Sioux City to meet them
on the same evening that the young lady ar
rived there. Looking through the register to
find his sisters names he came across the name
of his former sweetheart so, his sisters not ap,,
pearing, hunted up the young lady and talked
business so we'll that they were married the
same night and started for his home the next
morning. Names-Hattie Raymond and Jean
Emerson.

ALAnY's To1LEr.-A lady, in selecting her
toilet, should always bear in mind that she
must adoru herself in such a manner that when
people look at her their attention, after resting
q moment on her dress, will become conccn-
tratcd on her person In this manner the cle-

cause people to admire the lady herself How

robes had exercised little more ingenuity, the

Terrible Conflict with Rats.

Mr.. Jesse Laverty, of East Pennsbo-
70, Pa, living near Booser's mill. was
lately very much annoyed by rats, which
carried off his eggs, and made sad work
with his corn in his crib and then iuva-
dcd his granary and commenced destroy
ing a bin of wheat. Mr.. L.. on exami-
nation, found there was but one place
where they got in. He thereupon resol-
we'd to kill the rats by an artifice we'll
worthy OF the cause. He strewed corn
meal literally on the floor of the grana-
~, and about one hour later he nailed
the hole shut: he then called his dog
"a Spanish terrier) and armed with a club,
went forth to battle.
Now the door to the granary is fasten.
ed with long wooden latch extending
full across the door, and can only be O.
pened from the outside. and Mr. L., on
entering the granarY, drew the door shut,
heard the latch fall. He then thought
the enemy was his, but this was an er-
ror, for the rats were more numerous
than he expected, and, finding no way to
escape. attacked both Mr.. l.. and his dog
with great fury; one blow, aimed at d
rat, unfortunately hit the dog on the
head and killed him.
Mr.. l.. thus deprived of his faithful al
ly, would have fed but could not lie
then commenced calling for help, the
rats meanwhile kept diminishing around
his legs, ran up his body, bit his hands,
and one holder than the rest bit his nose.
1t is impossible to say what the result
of this unequal contest would have been,
had not passing neighbor, attracted by
the noise and cries, went to the relief of
Mr.. L.. who presented a shocking spec
tacle, his face and hands bloody, and his
clothes torn into shreds.
Mr.. L. being washed and rehabilita-
ted, sat down to reflect, when he luckily
hit on better plan of warfare He
went and borrowed twelve cats, which
with his own made fifteen; these he in
the evening shut up in his granary with
the rats, and the next morning he found.
on examination, ten dead cats, one blind
one, and two with one eye piece. The
remaining two were unhurt, and by &C
tual count he found 119 dead rats; of
the dead dog there was nothing left but
the bones and hair, the rats doubtless
having eaten him while Mr.. l.. was hunt
ing cats.-CariiSie (Po.) Herald.
