On Friday IF last week Sheriff

words ut Nogd. in which the

II "d-n lying :. Of a b." Sigh
straiehtway came to White Oaks
and had Nowlin arrested Nor
day the case came up for trial. A
Jury was called and much evidence
relevant and irrelevant given. most
directed to proving the bad flavor
attaching to Sligh's general char
actcr. Much expert testimony was
taken to establish what man
meant when lie called his fellow Il
:. of b. 4 majority of the cX-
perts held that men so stigmatiz-
inc, rarely, if ever. had or intend
ed reference to the maternal sourc,
Of his adversary's being. that the
meaning intended to be con,cycd
by the inclegant and u 'uslly often
sivc remark, was "yourc mean
cuss. and the Squire instructed
the Jury to SO consider the words.
Sigh kickcd-hc knew that this
proposition could be established,
while the other being literally alb
surd could not be substantiatcd -
Ihe case held through Monday
and 1t was not until Tuesday noon
that the evidence was announced
as all in. In the afternoon came
IL forensic fight to- the finish be
tween the cX-prcacher and the gen
t.cmAn-lawycr. Hewitt. And u
; slrc olgh fight it was. Sigh
first got up on one end and made
Il noise with his other. Then Hcw-
lit went to the bat. Again Shgh
came up smiling but Il little grog
gy. The jury then took the dirty
case and after studying it several
hours reported that they were unz
able to determine whether Nowlin
or Sigh was guilty, so the ju.y
was discharged and Sigh with
drew his case, ar also two or three
corelative ones, paid the costs and
hicl himself to the solitude of No
gal. Thus ended a case which
set communities by the ears, took
men from their families and bust
ness to serve rs witnesses or Jurors
Slch cases and the parties who
bring them should be kicked ont
OF court They are in every sense
demoralizing, and in no sense sub
serve any mcritorious cause or
principle.

THE WORK or A BRUTE.
A savage Assault Made on a Nurse
Mt Camden, N. j.

at Camden, n. j.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26.-Annie Roson-
hardt, head nurse at the Cooper hospital at
Camden, N. j., was found lying unconscious
in a pool of blood in a bath room on the sec
ond floor this morning by Waterman Joseph
Ellis. There were nine cuts in different
parts of her limbs, inflicted with a
sharp instrument, and she had been horribly
bruised on The side and abdomen by kicks.
She IS in a very critical condition and will
prObly not recover. The story, as told by
her, is that she went into the
bath room about midnight to pre-
pare q bath for u batient, when
she was seized by n man, who demanded her
money. She had none, but offered him a
watch, when he said: 81 don't want your
watch. / have come tonight to do away
with you. Tomorrow night | will do the
watchman.n. The woman screamed, where
upon the mau tied a towel over
her head. He then cut her hair
off close to the scalp and attempted to as
sault her. The towel around her head be-
coming loosened, she screamed, when the
man kicked her savagely until she lost con-
seriousness. When she. came to she found her
self covered with blood and was very weak,
and her groans attracted the night watch
man, who summoned aid. Waterman Joseph
Ellis vas arrested this morning on suspicion
of being the assailant, but this evening was
released, there being no evidence on which
to hold him.. The mystery is still unsolved.

TWO NEBRASKA CATS.
They DemoIish Each Other Accord
ing TO Q~ueenSbury Rules.

From a safe safe point we one day last
week witnessed a terrific combat be-
ween two abnormally developed Thomas
cats with the ~green-eyed monster in
their tigerish hearts, says the editor of
the Scotia (Neb.) Herald. They fought
according to the most approved rules of
the catiue ring, and one round was al
ways finished before another began.
They could not have fought any harder
if they had beef in the position of the
famous cats of Kilkenny. They were
both game from cold nose to tip of ex-
pressive tail. The fought some fifty
rounds in about twice as many minutes,
and when the battle closed we called it
IA draw, for there wasS not enough cat
left to make one decent bar of music
under or ON top of q ,h9us. Feline fur,
claws and cuticie lay scattered about in
very small bits, and Just enough of IA tail
to build this story oil, whore two brave
Toms died for love.
