i. Whitcomb for an assault and battery on the son
of complainant, William +. Whicomb. The as
saut was committed Sept. 10th. Smith made no
defence and was fined so and costs from which he
appealed. Edwin a. Knowlton was before the
court Friday for single sale of Intoxicating
liquor, on complaint of Mrs. Lottie Qunlan Com
plainant said that the respondent sold her little son
Thomas Beckwith, eight years Old, a half pint of
whisky. The liquor was given to City Marshal
Mcdonald. At the trial the Beckwih boy could
not be found. the complainant saying she thought
he. had been purposcly hidden away. She asked
for a postponement until the next day at O'Clock
in the afternoon. On Saturday the parties again
assembled, the respondent having Mr.. j. S. Harr-
man for attorney. Again the complainant said
she could not find her boy, and that she had not
seen him since the day before. The case was mol
pressed. The boy was doubt hidden away to de-
feat the ends of justice. Aureus Packard turn
key at the Jail, was before the court Friday on
complaint of Mrs. Jane West for an assault and
battery on her husband, Mr.. George West. This
is the case reported last week where Mr.. Packard
kicked West during the fire at the county jail Mrs
West said her husband had suffered great pain and
had not slept any on several nights since the in
jury. DR.. Kilgorc, the attending physician, and
DR.. ii. II. johnson, who examined the patient at
the request of the respondent both testified, and in
substance their testimony was the same. They
said there was no swelling Or Inflammation in the.
parts alleged to have been injured; no bruises,
marks or any external evidence of any injury, and
that they saw no reason why the patient should lie
in bed. There was testimony given concerning the
assault. The respondent did not testify. Judge
Rogers thought the case one beyond his jurisdic-
ton and found probable cause to hold the prisoner
for the October term of court. Packard gave bonds
in the sum of $500. The complainant was repre-
scented by MIR. Dunton, and the respondent by
Judge johnson.

Hugh NJ. Brooks, alias Maxwell, left his home in England ill January, 1885. He was a young solicitor at Stockfort Chesh ire, and he left his friends and business very suddenly without the formal leave takings. Brooks crossed the ocean i'll Feb ruary on the steamer Cephalonia, and it was on that ship that he first met c. Ar thur Preller, Il young travelling salesman for J. B. Dixon x Co. ot Bradford. Witk young Preller, destined later to become his victim, Brooks struck up friendship which seemed to grow almost perceptibly in strength. The two were seldom seen apart on board the vessel Brooks had begun his deceptions, though, with the first movement of the acquaintanceship. He had given his name as Maxwell. He had announced himself as a physician, and by carefully shaping his discourse he wound himself completely into the conf dence and affection of Preller. The two were together in New York and Boston and all the while appeared to be the best of friends.
 It was at St. Louis, April 3, 1885, and at the Southern hotel that Preller and his treacherous friend met for the last time. Then came the first act of the tragedy the trunk mystery, the Identification of the body, the clues pointing to then un- known Brooks, the slow unraveling of a skein which led at last straight to the feet of the pretended Maxwell, who was arrest ed in Australia and brought to this coun- try. The case has been one without par

acres enough, and who will gather
around them q few head of well breed
stock, either cows or horses. or q small
flock Of sheep, for In these will be
found the nucleu Of their fortunes. Let
