Four citizens OF this cooperative
area were taken in to the tune of five
dollars or whereabouts a few days ago,
while out for a Sabbath bird hunt. 1t
was across Nonconnah, in the Twelfth
civil district, not far from the south
ern border Of the county where it
happened. The pious people down
that way had been making complaints
about the unwelcome visits Of pOachers
in their vicinity, aud the newly cho-
sen cOlOred Esquire w. T. Pluukett
remarked to his neighbors that he'd
put a stop to it. He had the qusrtette
arrested, and at their request held
court, then and there, BY the public
highway under the shade of a poplar
tree. Three dollars, aHd costs run.it
up to about FIVE, was paid without
ainching and hunters have notsported
in that vicinity since, while the Lew
Squire is in higher favor with his
constituency.

| His arms were pinioned behind him,
and he held his head erect. He gazed
upon the crowd without flinehing.
He wore a suit of black clothes, and
instead Of a cellar had handkerchief
| drawn loosely about his neck. Those
who expected siokening or distress
ing scenes were disappointed. Gui-
team walked firmly through the TO
tunda and court He stumbled on one

THE AUTOPSY.
The results Of the autopsy upon
the body of Guiteau, so far as they
can be learned tonight from sur
geons who were present, may be
briefly stated as follows: After sur
veying the body externally the sur
geons proceeded to lay open the brain
cavity and thorax and to cxami.. the
organs therein contained. The brain
was found to weigh forty-nine and
one-half ounces, which is little more
than the weight of the average hu-
man brain. Ii was well formed and
presented no external evidences of
disease or lesion. The lungs and
heart were in their normal condition, !
hut there was a slight ruffling of the |
aorta in the vicinity Of the heart |
The neck was not dislocated or frac-
tured, as surgeons at first supposed, /
but there was rupture Of the sterno- .
muscle on both sides as
well as Of the thyrohyoid membrane.
1t follows, therefore, that death re-
suited from sutlocation and not from
dislocation OF the spinal yertebre. \
partial examination was made Of the
abdominal viscera, but it had not
been completed at the time the au-
topsv was suspended The spleen
was found to be considerably Ell
iarged, its weight being fifteen
ounces, or more than twice that Of a
normal spleen. Other abdominal OF
raas, SO ia; as they were examined
no unusual features. The
,eport Of surgeons who are engaged
II making the autopsy will probably
TOT be ready for publication before
next Wednesday.
