Newspaper men often commit un-
pardonable sins, by oversight, by
simply leaving out some little local
items or omitting some ones name
when there is no intention of doing
so. Now let anybody who thinks it
an easy job to get every local item,
or the name of every one even in a
small assemblage, sit down a few
days after they occur and try to write
them up and read them few days
afterwards, and they will find that
newspaper men are not the only for
getful people in the world, and tina,
they do not fail to make mention ol
some local occurrence besause they
have a personal pique against the
person concerned.

From a Card to the Public, pub
lished IN the Paragould Press, we
learn that John b. Boykin put up a
nice little game to have himself endor-
sed by the bar Of Greene County and
thus retire Mr.. A. P. Mack, who was
also candidate for the office of
Prosecuting Attorney for this Dis
trict. In his card announcing his
withdrawal from the canvass, he un-
blushingly admits that before max
ing the proposition, he had secured
"A pledge of support from five out of
the eight lawyers to whom the decis-
ion was left as to which of the two
candidates from Greene should re-
tire from the contest. His surprise
at the treachery displayed by his
supposed friends is only equaled by
his own duplicity.

PAREERsBURG, W. VA, July 31.-Yes-
terday afternoon during a thunder storm,
a tank containing 5000 barrels of oil, be-
longing to the Camden Consolidated Oil
Co., was struck by lightning at Macksburg,
Ohio. The oil caught fire and for a time
there was great danger of the flames COM
m%unicating with other tanks full of oil be-
longing to the same company. A
car load of men were Immediately sent
from this point to assist in eXtinguishing
the flames and saving other property. Col.
Stein Thompson, Superintendent of the
Camden Consolidated Works here took
coamand of the sqad. When the force ar
rived at Macksburg they found affairs
critical in the extreme and great danger
of the flames communicating to the other
tanks communicating to the other tanks,
which contained : 5000 barrels of oil
ready to ship. A piece of ar
tillery was taken TO the train and
nine or ten cannon balls sent
through the burning tank, letting the oil
out on the ground; while trenches were dug
and earthwOrks thrown up TO save the oil
in other tanks from catching. At noon,
to-day, Mr.. Thompson telegraphed
that the fire had been overcome.
The flames were so fierce and the heat so
intense that the rails on the Duck Greek
Railroad, which runs through the town,
were warped so badly that they will have
to be taken up and Others laid down before
the trains can run. The flashes Ofthe gun
were distinctly seen at this point.

When the State had finished its readings,
Detective James Bonieid was placed on
the stand and identified some red flags and
banners which were brought into court, as
those found in the Arbeiter ZeitEag Office.
They bore such inscriptions IS Every
Government Is a Conspiracy Against
the People," ''Dick Oglesby, who murder
ed three poor workingmen at Bemont,
is not in this procession. You can see him
later. I" Boys, stick together" Mayor
Harrison being in Court, the following in
scription on another banner created con-
siderable amusement and caused the Mayor
to smile. 1t read, Garter Harrison, who
dubbed our citizens during the Garments
strike, is not in this procession You can
see him later"
Here the State rests" said States Attor-
ney Grinnell, and the Court ordered the
defense to proceed with its case.
THE DEFENSE OPENS.
Attorney Solomon then opened the case
for the defense. First he complimented
the jury on its patient endurance oil
its trying position, and asked that
each member give the same close
attention to the evidence produced by
the defense rs they had TO that presented
by the State. He asked the jury TO de-
eide whether the States Attorney had full
filed his promises in the opening of the
case for the State. The States Attorney
had said that he would produce in court
testimony proving who threw the bomb.
Had this been done? Mr.. Solomon
claimed il had not. Proceeding 10 the
charges against prisoners, Mr.. Solmon
Said they were not charged with anarchy
or socialism. but rs shown by the indiCt-
ment, the charge was the murder of Mat
thias j. Deegan. Continuing, Mr.. Solmon
said that defendants could he held for con
Spiracy if il was proven that the meeting
in which they took part was called for the
purpose of killing the police.
Mr.. Solomon concluded reaSSerting his
belief in the absolute lack of evidence IN
Meeting the prisoners with the ~ofienses
charged against them, and asked the jury
that their verdict he one of acquittal. At
the conclusion of Sol9mon's address the
court adjourned.
