DIED FROM POISONING.

F. v. Hartman, the Coal Dealer, 10 the
Loser of q Fine HOrse-foisOning the
Probable Cause.
Last Thursday morning. when the stable
hand employed by F. V. Hartman. the coal
dealer, went into the stable to clean out for
the day. he found one Of the horses miss
ing. Thinking perhaps that il had gotten
loose and gone into another part Of the
barn. where the cow was kept, he went out
to investigate There he found the ami
NAL lying down on its back in the
stall, stone dead. He Immediately informed
Mr.. Hathman, who very soon summoned
DIR. Fred Moss, the veterinary surgeon. The
latter. after thorough examination, de-
clared that the beast had died from poison
administered. doubtless, through his feed.
The horse had been sick for several days, 1t
first being noticed on Monday that he was
unwell. Nothing serious was thought of
the matter. however, and it was given light
work to perform on Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday the poor brute seemed to grow
very much worse. and it was not
taken out of the barn any time during
the day. Wednesday night food was put
in the stall, part of which the animal ate.
Mr.. Hartman considered this horse the
best one in his barn having owned him for
over year. He was splendid worker.
strong and healthy and never seeming to
tire or give out in any way. He was about
twelve years old and was valued at $3.50 or
more. The loss comes pretty heavily upon
Mr.. Hartman especially such weather as
this when coal is in such demand.

such II the Sentence Of Holverstott for the
Murder Of Young Wolf.
The readers of the GLoBE-REPUBLIc no
doubt well remember the cold-blooded
murder of young man named Wolf, near
Fairfield. last August, by neighbor named
HolverstOtt The murderer was indicted in
Greene county for murder in the second de-
gree and found guilty. His attorneys filed
a motion for new trial, which was argued
before Judge Hawes at Xenia yesterday,
and was overruled. The TOrchlight Of this
morning says:
1.-The case was argued at considerable
length, and at the conclusion of the speeches
Judge Hawes overruled the motion for q
new trial. The aged murderer was ordered
to stand up, and he took his place directly
in front Of the judges desk. Judge Hawes
asked him if he had any reason to offer
why sentence should not be passed upon
him. HolverstOtt replied that he desired
to have private conversation with the
judge, but this the latter would not allow
and at 12:45 o'clock he sentenced Holver-
stott to the penitentiary for life, no part Of
his Imprisonment to be spent in solitary
confinement. The prisoner received the
sentence with the coolness that character
lied him throughout his trial He had evil
IDENTIFY not expected that Judge Halves
would grant him new trial.
The prisoners counsel will appeal the
case 10 the circuit court"

Gets Him Into serious Trouble-OMcer
Bevington Bound Over for Assault and
Battery-Further Charges to be Made by
Constable Jewett.
The case of John Digan VS.. Officer George
Bevington. for assault and battery, had a
preliminary hearing before Squire Stout
last night, and Bevington was bound over to
court in the sum of 500 and released on
bond. Seven witnesses were examined for
the prosecution. and three, Officers Walker,
Mast and Potee, for the defense. The tes-
timony developed the facts of the case sub
stantially as follows:
On Christmas afternoon Officers
Walker. Mast BevingtOn and Potee quelled
fight in Louis Rapp's salocn on West Main
street. and one Of the participants, John
Digan, was arrested by Bevington and PO-
tee. As they were leading him up Main
street he broke away and ran north on Plum
street, pursued by Bevington. Near Co
lumbia street he fell and cut his face up
badly. He was brought back by Bevington
and Potee to Main street, where Walker
and Mast were waiting The four succeeded
in Handwriting him to Bevington. While
they were doing it Bcvington shook his
club under the prisoners nose and was ex-
planning excitedly what he would do when
he was commanded by Chief Walker to
subside and keep cool. After Digan was
handcuffed Walker and Mast went west
while BevingtOn started east with his man.
Both sides testified that Digan was very
abusive in his language and both admitted
that Bevington struck him a heavy blow on
the head with his club. Bevington
claimed that he had reason to believe that
Digan was going to break and run again,
but the witnesses for the defense claimed
that he exhibited no such intention. Thu
prosecution confined themselves merely u
the case in hand, and refrained from bring
ing up his past career.
Bevington seemed exceedingly irat.
against Constable Jewett, who arrestet
him. After the trial. about half-p past nin'
O'Clock, Jewett alleges that a
he was standing talking to Office
Boyd on the south side of Main street nea
Center, Bevington called to him from
across the street and applied to him all tn
vile epithets imaginable. Jewett says tha
he called Boyd's attention to the occurrence
and demanded his arrest He says that i
Boyd does not report the matter to tn
Chief of Police. he himself will prefe
charges against Bevington.

students rushed from their rooms into
the street clad simply in their night
garments The night was very cold
and 1t was difficult to get water
into the building. The hall is wreck, the
fire having consumed the two upper floors.
The building is about 100 feet square and
was worth about S5O,OOO, including con-
tents, and is insured. The FIRE originated
in the attic. Last night people on the up
per floors smelled smoke, but a vigorous
search failed to locate whence it came. 1t
is now supposed that the cause Of the con-
hagratiOn was defective fiue. The students
on the lower floor were successful in saving
nearly all their effects.
