posing this judicial circuit, to attend trial
here, than it would be to attend 1t in any
of the other counties. One or two Of these
cases ended 10 mistrial on insignifi-
cant points, which will bring them up at
future term of the court and probably put
this county to the same expense again. 1t
seems that the laws governing change, OF
venue from counties is not quite as fair as
il should be; that it should make the coun-
ties from which the change is taken bear
the greater portion or all of the expense OF
the trial of any case.

jump on. The negro stood above the BOY
and in attempting to jump on the car'step

but the trucks of the car fortunately showed

catch a good hold, he stumbled over the

The Wabash surprised Mr.. Barnum
and in the same degree delighted HIM by
the time made in taking his four trains
from st. Louis to Chicago. He was anxi-
Gus to reach the latter city in time to get
his tents up by Monday morning, and
hence made very urgent request that the
Wabash make the trip in seventeen hours if
possible. No promises we're made, but the
request was discounted. The first train LETT
East St. Louis at 10 a. m. Sunday, reach
ed Decatur 100 miles distant, at 7 40 a. m,
and reached Chicago at $3.50 p. m, thirteen
hours and forty minutes being consumed on
the trip. The other sections went through
10 fourteen hours and forty minutes, tif-
teen hours and twenty-five minutes, and
sixteen hours and nineteen minutes respec-
lively The distance is 2S3 miles, so that
the speed was almost that OF passenger
trains.
The readers Of THE BULLETIN will re.
member the killing of one Kilgore, in Mis-
sour, by officer Jno. Bryant, OF Columbus,
KY, some time ago. The affair is again
brought 70 public notice now by the APP
pearsnce of a brother of Kilgore, who came
to Columbus few days ago with three or
four roughs, for the express purpose OF
avenging the death of his brother upon OF.
ficer Bryant. But the fellow had made
himself known and had boosted OF lis
purpose while passing through Belmont
saying that he was a brother of the mar
Bryant hal killed and had come all the
way from Mexico to get revenge. Officer
Bryant was notified of this fact before tn,
braggart arrived at Columbus, and whel
he did come, the officer promptly arrested
him for carrying concealed weapons and th'
magistrate chucked him in Jail under
fifty dollar fine, while his three or four rui
fan companions fed the town.
