NOTES.
On Monday morning John Link, who
killed the Paveys, and Ezekiel Ruse, who
killed his brother-in-law-Sw were
brought into Court, the former to have
his bond fixed, and the latter to have coun-
sci assigned to him. Link appeard cheer
full and in good spirits, but Ruse was down.
cast, and seemed to feel very badly.
Messrs. Sloane & HOugh were assigned as
his counsel, and he was returned to Jail.
Links bond was fixed at $1,000 in one
case, and 81 900 in the other, which was
furnished by the following sureties and
he was released from jail: Chas. Vanpelt,
Ed. Cox, Taylor Evans, Manlove Adams
and Chas. Turner, all Of Fairfield township.
Counsel in both cases have expressed a
to have the case tried this term,
but the State has not time to prepare for
trial, and they will probably go over until
next term.
THE BARNBURNERs' CASE,
Or, the State vs. Simon Murphin, is set
for next Monday werk. The motion for
change of venue will probably not be
pushed, and the trial will come of at this
term. The probabilities are that a jury
will be impanneled the latter part of next
week, and evrything got in readiness to
commence business on the following Mon
day morning. The trial will occupy from
a week to ten days.
The Court room has been cleaned up and
thoroughly renovated, and it is now al
most a pleasure to visit it.
It is rumored that ''Stufle" John Roads
viii be put on the witness stand, in the
Murphin case, and will swear he burned
the barn, but whether the jury will believe
him or not is another question.
John Link left town Monday afternoon
for Leesburg.
The News has been comPlimented sever
al times for its correct and impartial re-
port of the Leesburg tragedy. We shall
be careful to say nothing that might tend
to prejudice the public mind for or against
either side.
Clerk J. NJ. Hughey is as accommodate
ing as ever, and is always ready to do any
one favor. Everybody likes Martin, and
we think he is "bOOked" for another term,
anyhow.
The New Bank Block.
The contract for Evans & Ferris's new
bank building was let to-day I Tuesday, to
