A WET ROMANCE.-Last evening, at
about the hour of eight o'clock, as a
number of parties were enjoying them
selves in boat-ride on the Wapsie,
above the B. G. r. Il N. r. r. bridge,
one boat, containing Mr. Ebert Jacobs
and Miss Nellie Campbell, became
locked with another one in such man.
ner that it was necessary to detach
them in order to proceed. For this pur-
pose, Mr.. Jacobs leaned over and gave
the other boat a violent push, and, not
regaining his balance soon enough, the
boat was thrown on its side, and, in an
other instant, it was completely over
turned, spilling it's occupants into the
waters of the Wapsie. Fortunately,
Mr.. Jacobs did not get beyond his depth,
and, after collecting his scattered senses,
he found he was on solid ground with
his head out of water. His first thought
was for Miss Campbell, who was under
the boat. By some means, unknown to
even himself. he succeeded in getting
her out from under the boat, and. the
other boat coming up just then, she
was taken aboard, without receiving
any serious damage. Mr.. Jacobs then
righted his own boat, and, by pulling
home for dear life, kept off severe
cold. It was a most narrow escape
from drowning for both Of them, fol
which escape they may thank the pres
ence of mind of the young man.

owed. Mr.. Holman opened for the

IoWCu' MI IlUlHdH OpcHcu 1Oi UHc
State in clear and concise style, and
won much praise for solid argument and
freedom from bombast Mr.. Cannon,
for the defense, followed in brilliant
and ingenious effort, sparkling with wit
and happy hits. He spoke about an
hour The next two hours were monop-
olized by Mr.. Ransier, on the same side,
and in the evening Mr.. Powers closed
for the State, with what is admitted, on
all hands, was one of the most powerful
and logical forensic arguments ever
heard in this city. 1t went right to the
merits of the case and testimony, show
ing in clear light the strong and weak
points in it, and enforcing the argument
with convincing logic and eloquence. 1t
was listened to with breathless interest
by an audience only limited by the ca
pacity of the Courtroom. At it's close,
Judge Wilson delivered an exhaustive
charge to the jury. who, at 10 p NJ, re-
tired to deliberate upon the verdict
We are informed that the first ballot re-
suited in 8 for conviction and 4 for ac-
quittal Before midnight the roll stood
II for conviction and l for acquittal
and on Sunday morning at 9 o'clock, the
twelfth man gave in and verdict of
guilty was returned. The counsel for
the defense gave notice of a motion for
a new trial, on the ground of newly dis
covered evidence. Ten days was given
for the filing of the petition, and the
18th of June was set for argument upon
it. Strohl's sentence was deferred until
that time.
The verdict accords with the judg-
ment of the majority of the community
The dissentients are not many, and these
generally did not hear the evidence, or
base their dissent from the general
judgment on the ground that the YER
dict was made up of circumstantial evil
dence In this connection, of course,
we take no account of the foul-mouthed
ruflians who are making the result Of
the trial the occasion for connecting and
retailing all sorts of filthy and SANDER
Gus stories concerning parties connected
with the case, sparing neither man nor
woman.
These facts cannot be controverted,
The accused has had fair trial, with
every facility-except, perhaps, wise
counselEto make successful defense,
if such were possible. He has had am
pie opportunity to get before the jury
all the evidence designed to exculpate
him, and-t thanks to the excessive zeal
of his counsel-much that was not evil
dence The jury were intelligent, fair
minded and unbiased, and from due
consideration of all the ia cts
presented Stroll was adjudged gully.
Unfortunately, his former career gives
no contradiction to the presumption of
his guilt. He seems to have deliberate
ly chosen a career of crime, and is emu
lous of bad eminence in it. With the
malignant hatred that all scoundrels en-
terrain for fearless press, he sought
revenge, and to silence all further men
ton of his crimes, by murder. His
scheme miscarried, and he is in the
hands of the law. He is an object of
pity, but he appears to poor advantage
as martyr If he can repent Of his
misdeeds, he is likely to have time and
opportunity for it before he again APP

not to be favored with the presence of

of these projects appears the shadowy
form of our friend, H. Rich. of Win

it necessary to give himself vent from

cannot adequately adjust himself to the
situation without whole newspaper,

possibilities.

Correction.

Mr.. EDITOR the risk of doing
violence to the point of a neat item in
your last issue, we think it proper to
make correction of the same 1t is
evident that no imputation or reflection
upon any one was intended. But, that
it conveyed an impression that a serious
professional mistake occurred, is equal
ly apparent The shoulder of Mr.. Farr' S
little child was not dislocated, which
fact was evident upon the most casual
inspection, and Enthusiastically proven
when the usual tests for the detection
of this form of injury were applied.
Events of recent date are too fresh to
admit of such mistake, and especially
i'll such case as was this. The disin-
clination of the child to raise its arm,
and the tenderness, may have resulted
from an injury to the nerves of the
part, and the shock of the subsequent
fall restored their integrity, as has been
known to occur. Whatever may be the
explanation of the apparent sudden re-
covery, nothing can be more absolutely
certain than that no dislocation existed.

Auditor, and Miss Nellie Kent were

rimony on Wednesday evening of this

the bride This affair Of hearts has
been expected for some weeks, owing to
some mysterious and suspicious actions
of our friend Cole, which we need not
mention here. We need make no COM
ment on this happy match, as both the
bride and groom are well known in the
society in which they move, but we will
say that the bride of the fairest and
most accomplished of young ladies,
while the fortunate groom possesses all
the requisite qualifications for making
meek and obedient husband May
the grim monster, Divorce, ne'er loom
up before them.

DEATH OF ED. BLooD.-Asa Blood
started for Colorado Springs last Fri
day evening, obedient to telegram
from his wife, telling him to come quick
if he would see his son, Ed, alive. Sat
urday noon, the day after he had start
ed, a telegram was received by Mr.. A.
G. Sweet, stating that Ed. had died at
seven o'clock that morning. He had a
severe attack of hemorhage some weeks
since, from which he rallied, and had
partially recovered, but from what we
can learn, he must have had relapse
The incident has cast deep gloom over
this community, where Ed has lived
long, and was highly esteemed for his
open, generous character, and the SYM
pathies of all will go out to Mr. Blood
and his family.

THE severe frost of last Saturday
night played particular havoc with the
fruits and vegetables in this vicinity.
From what we can see and learn, apples
appear to have escaped pretty well.
Grapes, however, are totally cut off, and
cherries, strawberries, currants and 9th
err small fruits, are badly nipped and will
not yield half the promise of one week
ago The same thing is true of all ex-
cept the hardy vegetables, though as
there is plenty of time to make garden
anew, this is not so serious misfortune
as the damage to fruit. Accounts
from the southern and western portions
of the State say that snow and hail fell,
so that they covered the ground to the
depth of several inches, of course with
similar damage to the fruit. The frost
of Saturday and Sunday night extended
all over the north, and did much dam
age everywhere.
