Not Guilty.

Aaeipkia 8orasy Nescs.
Adelphi was visited by an Of
fetal from Logan, on Monday
morning last. He came armed
with a warrant for the arrest OF
our town Marshal, Thomas Koch,
who had been charged by a
citizen of Hooking county, with
violating the game laws, by
shooting squirrels on the 23d OF
last month.
Thomas was not at home when
the deputized Sheriff arrived, but
was out ID the woods seeking
more squirrels to conquer. The
Sheriff waited on him however.
until after supper, when Thomas
who had heard that he was
wanted, hunted up the officer
and placed himself into that
gentleman's care. lie was taken
TO Logan that night, but was not
locked up, a courtesy, We believe
customary among officials.
The next day he was given
trial. The only witnesses for the
State were Jake Friend and John
Spencer, who had heard our
Marshal say that he had shot 10
-. Both of these gentlemen
were unwillinsly present, as they
had no desire to see Tom prose-
culed, and we've really in posses
sion of no eliminating testimony.
In a conversation on the S3l,
Koch, Spencer and Friend me :.
Friend asked Koch if he had
been hunting, and received an
answer in the affirmative, TO
gether with the additional: infor-
nation that he had only been in
the woods one half hour and had
shot nineteen. But did not say
nineteen of what.
Koch pleaded his own case,
while the game warden made a
desperate attempt to convict him.
After the warden got through
with his plea, Koch moved the
Court that he be dismissed on
several grounds. First that the
prosecution had failed to identify |
him as the offender. that he
failed to prove that he was hunt
ing in Hooking county; that he
erred in the date of the supposed
and conversation with
The two gentlemen above men,
Iioped, and he utterly failed TO
prove that he had shot 10 squir.
rels or game Of any other char
scter. and for many other reasons
not necessary to state.

Aoch's plea by dlsmissing the
'ase against him, and Thomas
eturned to the bosom of his
amily late Tuesday night. Il

!, The Relation Of Lawyer and Client

This is q matter that affects every
man who enters the court house
seeking justice. 1t IS only tho law
!yer who is permitted under the
rules to address the court CT jury.
He is a sworn officer of the court,
aud has properly the privileges OF
the bar. Tho man who has a DIS
pute with his neighbor and comes
TO court for settlement, must me-
cessarlly employ an attorney to pre-
sent his case and follow 1T to the
finish. Tho cliont has no hearing
except through his attorney, hence
an obligation as sacred as any known
to civilized people, relates between
tie attorney and his client.
We may singularly shuttle cards
in game; the darkey boy who
rides the race horse may be bought
to lose a race; but the Lawyer, who
may play cards for . pastlme, or
buy Niger for diversion. when in
the Court House, temple OF justice,
should stand up true and faithful to
his client. If this proposition does
not hold, why have court houses :
why have lawyers
At the last term of our court, a
case was tried IN which the relation
of Client and Lawyer was made an
issue. 1t is important to the public
lie in this, that 1t elbows the rights
Of both parties.
The case briefly is this:
Mr.. Stager. a capitalist of the
East. invested money in a stone
quarry near Gore. The investment
was not making any returns salts
factory, and Stager employed Bur
CESS as his attorney to attend to the
business and make what was pos
sible out of the property IN which
Stager had invested his money.
Three years pass, and MIR. Stager
discharges Mr.. Burgess and em-
ploys other attorneys.
Mr.. Burgess sues for his attorney
fec, claiming that be has done pro-
per service. Mr.. Stager. through |
his attorney, Mr.. Hansen, objected
10 paying any fee, stating. as We
copy from the record, "That he.
Stager. does not owe anything to
Mr.. Burgess, but that he (Stager)
Is damaged to the amount of the
ices claimed, for the reason that he
BurgesD neglected to attend to
he business entrusted to him. &C.
The case went to the jury, which
mt Mr.. Burgess bill thirty five
loIlars' Why this disallowance of
bill was made by the jury, we
are not TO inquire. The fact.
hough, stands and can be measured
md counted for what it ls worth.

She Was Not Babcock,s Widow.

In Chicago yesterday ended the fight over
the estate Of Walter s. Babcock, who was shot
mysteriously at Gardner, ILL.,, two years ago
and went home to Chicago to die. Naomi Fair
child, who claimed to be the dead mans widow,
has withdrawn her claim. A short time after
Babcock's strange taking off Naomi, who was
Babcock's senior by many years, applied to the
probate court for letters Of administration on
his estate, alleging that she had been his wife,
although the world had believed him to be q
bachelor. She presented evidence to sustain
her claim, but failed to prove q ceremonial
marriage. About six weeks ago Judge Knicker-
booker rendered decision against the claim
ant, declaring that she had not established the
fact that she had been Babcock's wife. The
woman took an appeal to the circuit court, but
yesterday her attorneys came in with petition
signed by her asking that the order allowing
her to appeal be revoked and the order declar-
ing she was not Babcock's widow be made abso-
Lutte Along with this petition a claim for 81, 900
out OF the estate was presented, and 1t was
allowed by the court, with the consent Of Bab-
cocks heirs. The whole estate amounts to
about go, 900, and tho lawyers say that il the
legal contest had been continued through all
the courts the claimant, who 10 bent with years,
probably would have died Of old age before Q
nnai decision could have been reached.

THEY OBJECT TO FRIPPERY.
Curious Charges Made and Sustained
Against a Dunk ard Preacher.

A Uniontown special to the Philadelphia
Press says: A committee of Dunkard preachers
has been investigating charges that have been
preferred against Elder John G. johnson Of
Uniontown. 1t is alleged that Rev. Mr.. john
son has not sufficiently discouraged the spirit
of pride that has grown up in his congregation,
and that under his ministry the sisters have
been allowed to cultivate love Of finery as seen
in the wearing Of loud hats, feathers, bustles,
bangs and other articles of personal adornment
in violation of the discipline, as plain apparel
is required by that church.
The visiting committee, consisting of Rev.
Messrs. Stoner, Long and Arundel carried on
the investigation with great secrecy, taking tes-
timony from the members of Rev. Mr.. John
sons congregation.
They found the charges sustained and Elder
Johnson will be silenced unless he succeeds In
overthrowing the verdict. which he will at
tempt in his appeal to the general conference
The Dunkards have a number of fourishing
churches in Fayette and Somerset counties.
