ELIAS 'TRUMBO.

In the case of the People V. Thomas Nolan,
put on trial last Monday in the circuit court
for stealing a watch from Patrick Duffy, of
Earlvile, after he had assaulted and knocked
down the said Duffy, the jury, after being
out all night, reported that it was impossible
to agree, and was discharged. 1t stood about
eight for conviction.
After the trial of Rufus Reno ended in his
conviction and sentence to the penitentary
for one year, Friday H. on the charge of
rape, one of the citizens, whose little girl had
been followed by Reno, stepped up to Judge
Blanchard and exhibited revolver saying:
The verdict suits me; had the brute been
acquitted he would never have gone out of
here alive"

donned the striped suit He plead guilty be.
fore Judge Blanchard, Friday of last week, to
assault with intent to commit murder, but it
is thought that the result of jury trial would
give him no more than a years sentence
Mrs, Buckmller, together with her daugh-
Ter, whom he also assaulted with a knife
on the night of June 2Sd, first struck him
over the head with broom. This Knack had
been a frequent visitor at the widow Buck
miller's for the past two years. Though the
sentence was severe enc, there is no doubt
that knack deserved every day he got, his
previous record showing him to be little too
handy with the knife to let him down easier.
