blood vessel and consequent death. External
violence would not produce spoplexy. 1t
might and probably would produce excite
ment.
Here the court adjourned until morning
pending the settlement of dispute between
counsel as to the admissability of the testi-
mony Of A. j. Reddick, as taken down in
shorthand and transcribed at the hearing in
the hsbeas corpus proceedings. Mr.. Reddick
is very sick at La Sale and it would be a
cruelty to him, in the opinion Of the Court.
to compel him to attend in person. The
testimony was in relation to conversation
between Mrs. Wagner and Mr.. Reddick, in
which she is alleged to have said that after
she was struck by Orsinger she went out into
/. the kitchen and washed her face, and saw
no more Of the occurrence in the store.
During the examination of DR.. Clenden.
min Mrs. Wagner tainted and was removed
froR, the court room. She had maintained a
smiling oountsnsnoe drought the trial, but
the air was very dense in the court room
and she had been sitting near the hot air
furnace. A juryman also became ill during
the afternoon, delaying the court for an
hour.
Dr.. B. F. DYER testified that tho heart and
brain being in the condition described would
render the man liable to apoplexy, and that
Il he found man dead in the condition des-
cribed, he would SO denominate the cause of
his death. Apoplexy was caused by passion,
or emotion, or some other force, filing the
brain with blood 90 that the arteries would
become ruptured. II could not be caused by
external violence.
The defence here rested and the State
placed Mrs. Wagner, Carl Zwanzig and
about dozen La Sale Germans on the stand
in rsbattal They testified that Wagner was
not in the habit Of becoming intoxicated,
and was moderate drinker.
The case went to the jury last evening,
and in few moments they returned YER
dict Of "Not Guilty.

A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO NORTON
The Board of 1880 Passes Into Hts
tory with Doodle Record.

The final session of the Board Of Super.
visors Of 1850, held on Saturday, was
chiefly remarkable for the passage and at
tempted passage of resolutions granting
mo icy to different persons without other
con ,ideration and thought than that Of the
moment.
On motion of Supervisor Hickok Of Troy
Grove, the supervisors were given one dol
lar and half each for approving the bonds
of the town collector.
That the next on the programme was to be
an astonisher was evidenced by an air Of
anxiety upon the faces of number Of super.
visors. 1t was, for it was the consideration
Of the report of the special committee on at
torney fees-Messrs. Fischer, Maierhofer
and Mcintyre. After recounting the par.
ticulars of the investigation in the usual
manner snd recommending that Messrs.
Brewer and Stead be paid $1,000 each as
additional fees, they having already receiv-
ed 81 900 each for services), the committee
said that Doc Norton had not received
enough. He had been the "nestor' Of the
investig cation. He had sacrificed mis- person.
81 interests ct $3.50 per day, % and in con.
sideration of his having made such sscri-
foe ~, the committee would recommend
giving him $500. Having received So, 107 SO
for the Raymond case, Mr.. Moioney did not
desire any further fees for the Milligan,
Bsrtels and Stooksleger cases, and Messrs
Brewer and Stead would also finish the work
on the Stooksleger case without further
charge. The committee had made bargain
with Messrs. Moloney, Brewer and Stead to
carry the Milligan case to final settlement
the Supreme Court for $500.
The report was received with applause by
the committee and others.
Mr.. Griffin of Utica, arose and said that he
did not think that Mr.. Norton had been given
enough in the report and moved that he be
allowed S1 900 instead Of $500.
Mr.. Armstrong made feeble kick-but
voted for 1t.
Mr.. Donlevy of Wallace, protested vigor-
ously and called it Doodle scheme. He
moved to amend by giving each of the inves
tigating committee 81 1000, and also to give
each member of the board $1,000 because
they had neglected their private interests in
attending the different meetings.

$500 in the Bartels case, for clerk hire, by
Mr.. Dunlevy, were referred 20 the county
attorney.
Norton submitted claim Of Sheriff Nor
rissey for 1924 for attendance on the Circuit
Court. 1t was passed.
The board passed a resolution that the bill
of the recorder for writing up the burnt
records, be hereafter submitted to the com.
mittee to settle with that officer, instead of
the recorder drawing orders on the county
clerk, as he has done since 1881.
On petition of Mr.. Griffin, S250 taxes of
the Fire Proof Company, were abated.
After these wonderful exhibitions of aero.
bottle legislation, this most learned and noble
body of men, meekly drew their per diem
mileage and pauper overseer chargee, and
withdrew to their bucholic retreats.
THE SEQUEL.
While the board was yet 10 session, Mr.
Norton got wind that there was notice
lying on the desk of certain member which
would perhaps be served on the county clerk
The notice was in relation to an injunction
restraining the clerk from paying the 81 600
order This made Norton rather fidgety, and
rumors floating through the door, that sew
eral Ottawa taxpayers were about to get out
an injunction, made him forego his usual
talk after the board adjourned. Rather, he
rushed over to Mr.. Finlen's office, crowded
others aside, procured his order, presented
it to the county treasurer before the ink was
dry, received check on the bank, presented
it in forty seconds from the time it left Mr.
Adams hands, and had the thousand in his
pocket just three minutes after the board
adjourned. To illustrate his haste, he com.
planned that Mr.. Adams was trying to keep
him out Of his money, when the latter had
begun 10 wait on others who we're in the
,f6ce when he entered. Why did Mr.. Nor
.on hurry! II he had earned the money; il
L was legally due him; if the board gave 1t
% him legally, why this unseemly haste? 1t
ooks as though Doc was uneasy about get
ing money he knew be was not entitled to.
By the way, with the S67o, so the Doc had
received as investigator" this makes
