to who should pay for them. The
result was McDermott knocked Censor down.
This so enraged the latter, that he procured a
hammer, and followed McDermott, and while
the latter was standing at the corner of Broad
way and Sycamore streets, Censor struck him
with the hammer, crushing his skull just over
the right ear. After the man had fallen his assail
ant stopped down and struck him heavy blow
in the face with his fist He then fled, but was
soon captured. Excitement at this hour runs

The Sizemore Murder Case Terminates in
Unsatisfactory Verdict.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
PARIS, April 1.-THE case of the State of Hi
nois against Charles Sizemore, for the murder of
Henry Younos, on the 18th day of last July, was
to-day finished, the jury returning a verdict of
guilty and fixing his punishment at two years
in the penitentiary at Chester. Sizemore went
to Younoss farm where he and others were
threshing wheat, and struck him with his fists
and kicked him to death. His defense was in
sanity. Public opinion is decidedly against the
verdict, and think he should have been given at
least twenty years. The sheriff starts to-day to
Chester with Sizemore and six Others who were
convicted for robbery and burglary.

The Duty of Every Man to Vote.

Warsaw Times.
1t is every mans duty to vote. We cannot see
in the man who boasts that he never votes or
that he frequently stays away from the polls,
the one who is by any manner of means the
good citizen he should be. The city of New York

from the polls. The consequence is that the city
is in the hands of the baser element, corruption
runs riot and thievery prevails in every branch
