fact that Mr.. Myer and bis sons had gone to
their old home in Decatur 10 attend the fu-
neral Of Joe Myer, one of the sons who had
suddenly died. From the Decatur Herald
we learn the particulars Of his sad death,
which occurred at Clinton. Joe was en-
gagged in painting the top of the Methods.

one OF the spurs on his feet, with which be
had climbed the steeple, slipped or broke,
its hold on the rope gave way and he fell
back twenty feet, striking the scaffolding
from which he bound clear Of the church,
and going headlong down one hundred fee!
further TO the pavement, where his brother
Frank with others were standing watching
his awful fall in agoniz;ng helplessness. He
was carried into the church, where he re-
vived enough to say, 'Good bye, Frank;
tell Rena good bye; I'm dying" Rena is
the name OF his Young wife, and be never
spoke another word. He was frightfully
msngled, his ribs and hip-bones being driven
through his flesh, one bone being driven
several inches into the ground. Joe Myel
was twenty-four years old. and will be re.
membered by many of the people of WITCH.

bier to n representative Of this paper yes
terday.
u guess, said the reporter, the game don't
amount TO much here,the gamblers probably
have little money among themselves
which they win back and forth. Perhaps
once in a while they catch a sucker
That's where you are off your base. |

have been here long time and could tell
You of number of innocent men who have
been caught and fieeced, several of whom
were farmers. You see the way they do
that is, when two or three suckers come in
they manage il some way TO get one of them
into the game and let him win S. or $40,
then the others who know him think if he
can win they can, so they go
in. They loose of course, and keep play
ing hoping to get even but they never can.
They usually play until they are all broke.

lost all he had and all he could borrow.
Then he sold pair of mules and played the
money of. He still thought he might get
even, SO he mortgaged his farm and lost all
the money he got on that. Finally he ruin
cd himself. / have known several almost
similar instances. You are badly fooled if
you think the gamblers of this.town are just
winning back and forth from each other.

IN A BAD pREpIcAMENr.

One Of our business men rode out with
his wife the other day to visit Frisco
Heights. They climbed to the summit Of
the great tower and viewed the country
round. They were much pleased with the
prospect, and everything went altogether
satisfactory until ready for the descent,
then the weaker vessel became weaker than
ever when she looked down from the dizzy
heights. She trembled, became dizzy and
might have fallen, had not her leige lord
caught her. Her head became SO over
balanced that she could not descend a step,
and her husband was obliged to carry her
all the way down, a contract he probably
won't undertake again for some time

DISTRICT COURT.
Arguments Closed in the Fl. Scott Damage
Subtitle Case Before the Jury.

Yesterday the third day of the trial in the
$4,000 damage suit Of w. II. Irwin VS.. the
ST. Louis, Fl. Scott & Wichita Railroad
company witnessed the closing of the argu-
ments of the legal talent arrayed on each
side of the case. 1t is case that elected
considerable interest from the start, and on
which has been bestowed more than q usual
amount of legal talent From its nature
great deal of testimony has been required,
some by dispositions and more by witnesses
brought from distance.
The plaintiff. W. II. irwin, was freigh.
| conductor on the defendants road, and in
that capacity was struck by brace of a rail-
road bridge, while on the top of the caboose
on the 9th day of December 1884, and
suffered injuries TO his spine and chest which
have made cripple of him through life
The evidence showed that he was struck by
the brace while on the side of the car at the
window of the cupalo of the caboose. The
expert testimony taken related to the con-
| struction Of bridges, and also the duties OF
| conductors. The TESTIMONY was handled
| ably throughout the trial, aud elected many
facts in railroad matters, which were inter
es,ing and had an important bearing on the
case.
Yesterday, early in the forenoon, the evil
dence being all in, the court read an elabor-
ate and able charge of the law bearing on
the case, and Instructed the jury in their
duties and questions Of inquiry.
The attorneys in the case were
Houston and Bently, and Hon. G. r. Peck
for plaintiff, and Harris and Vermilion
and j. II. Richards, of lola. for the defense.
After the charge to the jury the order and
time of the attorneys who were to speak
are arranged. But two were to speak on a
side of an hour each.
J. ID. Houston, Esq, opened the ease for
the plaintiff, and made very impressive
appeal to the jury, embodying the points of
the case and held the jury in full sympathy
with the plaintiff. He was followed by Il.
II. Nermillion, Esq, on the other side of the
dilemma, who handled the side of the de-
tense with logical arguments. J. II. Rich
ards, Esq, closing the defense in an effort
that was at once creditable to his ability and
mastery as a legal argument The closing
argument on which the jury retired was
made by Hon. Geo. Il. Peck, of Topeka,
for the defense, sparkling all through with
the closest reason and solid logic with every
point driven to the spot, and listened
to by the closest attention Of the jury, who
had already become wearied by the days
sitting, and the bystanders who elected
more than ordinary attention.
After the jury had been instructed by the
court not TO allow anyone to approach them
on the case pending their deliberations they
were discharged for the day. 1t was, how
ever, suggested by the counsel that they
might be allowed to view the railroad bridge
where the accident happened and an init
nation of the court that that might be al
lowed them, the jury retired.
