The testimony given by the witnesses
threw a much different light upon the
case than what had been published

Woods aid commenced talking to one
of the workmen. While talking,
Woods came us and told him to leave
the shops, which he said he would do
in moment, but did not.
He was asked to leave the second
time and gave the same answer.
Woods then took hcll of McGuan
aud started to lead him out OF the
shop. McGuan held back and a
tussel issued, during which Woods
grabbed a side rod-k-y and struck Nc.
Guam on the head. They were parted
and McGuan ran out OF the shop fol
lowed by Woods. who had picked ur
hammer while on the run. The
two men met ON the outside and Nc
Guam threw large wooder
| wedge which missed Woods
and struck G.. s. Stewart who wa
working near. McGuan then turned
and ran followed by Woods, Wh'
threw t! e hammer. The BANNER wen
oven McGuan's bead and Woods pick
ed up a fi'e ard hurled 1t at bin
striking him on the head cutting bin
slightly. McGuau continued running
until be had gotten away from tn
shops.
The speeches on each side wer
limited to five minutes and he cas-
was gwen to the jury. They wer
out about ten minutes and returne'
with a verdict of not guilty and Mo

He Divided the Cigars.

The Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men ball given at Association Park,
last Thursday night, Melted the lodge
about $500. Te show the officers of
the two roads the appreciation of their
efforts in assisting them, they pre-

Offices with cigars and good cigars too,

The officials, unlike Mr.. 7. p.
Murphy. returned thanks to the Buys
for the cigars in q very nice manner.
When it was announced at the park
that Mr.. Murphy had won the box of
cigars offered by E. T. Bsberns to the
one selling the most tickets he was no
where to he found. Finally one CT

and to d him he was wanted on the
inside 10 make speech. He refused
to come in if he had to speak. But
as it was pretty wet on the outside,
The rain of that evening having not
yet subsidized, he agreed to open up
the cigars if they would not insist up.
ON a talk. The boys finally agreed
to that, thinking it was best, ss he
might catch cold if he got too moist.
He came in and opened the box and
at once proceeded to dry his clothes by
the fire in the kitchen, having first
obtained permission from the cook.

emplifed 10 the following letter which
one of the boys has written to Sheriff
Adams at Mexico, Mo-, who had ar.
rested the boy and two companions at
Vandalia this state for breaking into
a store. There are few boys in Sc

school would stand a much better
chance for reformation than they do
at present. The letter is as follows :
