The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1886-07-08
A number of young men at Darby


that they would not be taken, and
when the Deputy Marshal, with a
posse, marched upon them there was
a lively fusilade Of firearms. This
occurred on last Thursday. Seymour
Darling was shot in five places, and
soon died. Nat Darling was badly
wounded. job Carpenter, Wash Dar-
ling and Ora Radcliff were wounded.
There was great excitement, and the
sentiment is said to be strongly in ia
vor of the officers though the latter
were put under bonds. The Darling
boys are relatives of the Darlings in
in this county, and some of those of
this county attended the funeral of
Seymour Darling ON Friday.

Said citizen to us the other day !:
"Well, we've got our Jail about empty
once more, haven't we ?' Which re-
mark prompted us to make some in
quiry Of Sheriff Lively concerning the
inside Of the Jail. There. were con-
fined, on Monday, seven persons. AL.
Castor is serving out his fine; Jonas
Edwards is imprisoned for failing to
settle up with young woman with
regard to a joint heir James Foutz,
not wanting to be out-done by Jonas,
got into the same kind Of a scrape,
then into Jail; James and Jesse Stew
art, two boys, furnished liquor to an
other boy at the picnic near Bierley's,
and are now rejecting upon the vani-
ties Of the world within the shadows
of their cells Bob Scott and his son
James some time ago cut Smith Walls
and Jonathan Jenkins, and departed
hence without day. but Sheriff Lively
and Constable Davis Of Jefferson
Township, quietly scooped them near
Catlettsburg, KY. They had pre-
iminary hearing before Squire
Hughes, of Jefferson Township. and
bound over in the sum Of three hund-
red dollars each. Pleas. Onstott as
saulted Seymour Lindsey, at Wells
ton, with intent to kill, and Marshal
Hutchinson brought him down and
put him in Jail. Thus it will be seen
that our fine Jail building is not dead
stock, by any means. There were
numerous rows on the Fourth that
may increase this number some. There
were two or three scrapes at the Glen
Roy picnic, one at Wellston, and so
on. Sheriff Lively will make it hot
for evil-doers, and the number in Jail
may be considered fair indication of
the extent of crime in the County.

The enemies of Noah J. Dever have
been delivered of much anguish of
mind and vexation of spirit, but there
seems to be lack Of reason in it all |
that partakes somewhat Of the ludi-
crous. Speaking of the County Con-
vention IN Jackson, the Portsmouth |
Times says:
"Thus Noah captured the Jackson,
as he had the Scioto delegation, by
setting them up, and thus he secured
the nomination.
There was much complaint about
i working up," or setting up" the
Jackson delegation. But this talk all
come from parties who most earnestly
desired to fix the delegation in anoth-
er direction. There were men on that
delegation who would not surrender
an honest conviction to the entire Re-
publican party, neither would they go
to any convention pledged to any can
didate. They knew, the night before,
about how the case would stand after
the convention, and were only anxious
to have the vote taken, and be done
with it, as this from the Times would
seem to indicate
1.-THE Jackson county delegates be-
came very restless. John Mackley, of
the Standard, scratched his Uranium,
paced up and down the aisle, drew
forth his memorandum, scratched off
a proxy, and in an aggravated manner
placed it in the hands of Mr.. Evans
to cast his vote. He then took his
departure for the train, followed by
others"
We do not believe in lying in poll
tics, any more than in anything else.
When men told US, therefore, that
Mr.. Dever was a man of no ability,
and would be decidedly unpopular, be-
sides having no claims to recognition
by the Republican party, we simply
could not believe word of it, that
was all. The Dever family have stood
by the Republican party, right along.
There have been no more faithful
soldiers in the ranks, and we believe
that men of far less ability have been
placed upon the Bench in this State.
Mr.. Dever will doubtless make good
Judge.

There is to be convention of news
paper editors at Columbus in the near
future, to express the indignation Of
The State Of Ohio" at Gen. Logan's
course in voting against the investiga-
lion Of Senator Payne. This will be
q magnifcently terrible picture. To
zee the editors of Ohio standing up in
;he shadow Of the State Capitol and
laundering forth the Indignation of
we, the people of Ohio" will be
enough to strike terror into even so
,rave man as Gen. Logan. We do {
iona that the editors will snare Cen
