A TAIL HOLD As A MEANS OF ES-
CAPE

While the public attention is being
largely drawn to the eecentricities Of
Jurors and their verdicts in other States,
it Is meet that West Virginia should be
abreast Of the times and come promptly
forward with her little enigma with
which to tax the idgenuity of the courts
and test the virtue and reliability OF
jury.
such case is furnished by an odd
incident IL Wayne county, happening
the other day. The issue involved is
not freighted with considerations of
such high social and public concern as
the DUKES trial furnished, nor are the
details so narrowing to the feelings aud
so liable TO excite public indignation.
But it does seriously involve the con-
duct and character of q cow, aud raises
the question of the cows responsibility
before the courts.
Ii isa well established principle Of
law that any Que who assists in the e5-
cape of a person who has committed an
offense becomes pdTticeps criR'iais, and
liable to punishment with the party
guilty of the original offense whatever
that may be. In the case in point,
either the officer or 8 COW or both must
be responsible. The COW certainly as
sisted, q dog was also indirectly con-
cerned, and we are altogether at loss
to anticipate what West Virginia jury
should do in the premises-whether 1t
should hold the officer, the cow, or the
dog responsible for the escape. But we
will allow the Writ county Transcript
to state the case, and then the unsum-
moned jurors Of the Common wealth
can sit on il. The case grows out of the
following facts:
A deputy sheriff arrested a man
named Hatton and, having other busi-
ness to attend to, turned the prisoner
over to a young constable, with instruc-
lions to take him before certain
Justice of the peace. The constable and
prisoner proceeded on their way to the
temple Of Justice and had just arrived
there and dismounted from their horses
when COW, chased by q dog, came tear
ing along under high pressure ofstesm.
Instead Ofswitehing the COW of, the con-
stable and prisoner stepped aside to
allow her To pass, and Is she did so the
rriSor or coupled on to her tailand went

The Wheeling REGISTER in discussing its
dynamite amendment problem, some time
ago, said the Republicans would all vote
for the peculiar and tangled provision to
the Constitution, as they wanted two
chances in 1884. The completeness OF the
logic involved in this declaration smazes
us. Suppose the Republicans carry the
first election, what will they want With
another chance?- Richie Ga=stte.
We believe that We can guarantee on
the part of the Democrats that il the
Republicans candidates can show their
election in October the Democrats will
not require them to make a contest in
November; provided the Republicans
will accept like conditions on their
part. What does the Gazette say to
this?

coupled himself from the cows tall and
took to the woods making good his es-
cape, The officer was so completely
Disguised over the affair that he handed
in his resignation at once. He should
have arrested the dog and old COW for
participating in the rescue.

well meet the difficulty in 1884 as at any

THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
does not overestimatel the seriousness Of
the DUKES verdict when it says that
the aequittal will do more to encourage
the people to interfere with the proce-
dure of courts in criminal cases, and
take them out of the hands of the law
yers and juries for summary punish
ment, than any single case that has
happened in our judicial history.

Beautiful Phenomenon j..

Shortly after sunset yesterday
evening, one of the most beautiful
auroral dis plays ever seen here or
elsewhere appeared in the western
sky. It was not merely a t'nting,
or even glow, but for a time a
lurid glare which illuminated the
landscape far and wide with a
weird, unnatural light. Long after
the usual time or darkness, the
priiliancy of the phenomenon made
the evening as bright as it could be
in the absence of the sun, and all
eyes were turned in the direction
from whence the. illumination came
1t was a grand spectacle, at once
Jndescribable and awe-inspiring.
Nothing of the kind ever took place
here before, certainly not within ouI
recollection.

very fine, and everything passed off
in excellent style.

THOMAS JEFFERSON.
A Body Servant to the Father of Democ-
raey--He Gives Some Interesting
"Reminiscences Of the Fa-
nous President.
Isan Antonio LIght.l


Isan Antonio Light
The Light commissioner was intfo-
duced TO an old negro named Franklin
Fagins. He is an old man, small-sized,
grey-haired, somewhat pale and feeble,
but looking remarkably well for man
who is So years of age. At The present
time he Is IL farmer in Ataseosa coun-
ty, but years ago lie was body servant
TO President Jefferson. In giving de-
tails of his life he said he was raised
at Monticello, ALTERNATE county,
Virginia. where Jefferson Lived.
When he was old enough he
was made body servant, and when
talking of his dear old master, as he
called him, tears came into his eyes
He described jefferson rs very kind
and humane man, especially to ne
groes, and said that he always saw
them properly housed and cared for.
This Kindness, then uncommon, made
the
NEGROES LOVE HIM.
There was no escapes, all loved to be
near him and they would have laid
down their lives for their dear old
master. His manner was calm, his
temper even and he did not remember
him using an unkind word. Jefferson
would occupy his time walking, rid
ing, writing and fishing, but what he
seemed to enjoy most was to sit in his
big arm chair and think. Sometimes
during the thinking spells he would
light cigar, but he was not an ex-
cessive smoker. He took great interest
in the Charlottesville university, and
frequently drove over there in his
coach and six horses and still more
frequently entertained the people from
the college. He remembered the pres
ident's death and was in the room
when the spirit of the father of
Democracy passed away. He felt then
as if he had lost his father. He was
present at the funeral. Jefferson was
buried in grand coffin, purchased
from England, which was glazed in
such way IS to allow the body

service. He came to Texas thirty
years ago. When the emancipation
OF the slaves were declared he became
free. When asked If he was in favor
of emancipation he said: "IfI was a

as was an old man, over seventy
years of age, it was bad
for me, for / had no one to take
care of me. However, with the
aid of the Lord have got on very
we'll" And this is true. Since he
became free he has married him a wife
got a family, and has profitable lit

of questions affecting the colored folk,
Pagan said he had none. He minded
his own business and let other folks
deal with politics. Here the old mar

Andrew Thomas is the oldest settler

the first man who ever attempted to
establish home within the present
territory of the county. Forty-ohe
wears ago he settled in Choctaw, when
the nearest settlement was little log
blockhouse eleven miles away, and in
a fight with Indians had a
brother killed and II son wounded.
He took the wounded boy on
his back and making a running fight
carried him safely into the biockhouse
by circuitous route of about fifteen
miles and saved his life. Joe Hopson,,
our worthy county surveyor, himself
an old settler, told the simple story Of
Mr.. Thomas heroism In this and other
events, and after saying that he was
lahoring for the support OF grand chi
siren In his old age, took up a ccntri'

handsome sum To help the aged vete
