vantage to do so as fruit is very scarce In this
vicinity.

The indictme Mt against Mr. Julius |
Berg, of Zelienople, in which Mr.. Miller, the |
hotel l-keeper of Evansburg, was prosecutor. |
was ignored by the Grand Jury last week. If
Mr. Miller had any evidence hasn a. al assn't Mr.
"true bill, )" but the action of the Grand Jury
shows he had none. There seemed to be an
effort made here in Butler to persecute Mr..
Berg. His partner in business who was with
him during the entire day, on which Mr.. Miller
alleges he lost his money who was not out
of his sight five minutes during the day, and
who was here as a witness in the case under
$500 bail, was not called before the jury. In
fact, an effort was made TO induce him 10 go
home day or two before the came up,
and before being released from his bail by the
Court. ..,.......,. - .
