Keusch Acquitted.

Amanser Keusch was arraigned in the
Recorders court in Detroit Wednesday
morning and pleaded not guilty TO
the charge of manslaughter for shooting
his stepfather. DIR. +. s. Utter, on the
9TH ult.. from the effects of which he died
on the 18th ult. The young man was in a
hurry TO have the trial como off and the
prosecutor was also anxious to have the
matter out of the way, so it was arranged
to go on with the trial at once-something
that is very seldom done. After the evil
dence was all in, and it was brief, Judge
Chambers said he did not wish TO take the
responsibility of directing verdict and
submitted the case to the jury, telling
them TO retire ind find their verdict
Juror Thomas Henderson rose and said
that they did p)t need to retire and thu
verdict of not guilty was pronounced in;
stanter. Young Keusch was therefore,
discharged and shook hands with the
jurors, but not with his mother, nor was
there any embracing or kissing or other
demonstration of joy or affection. The
Wyandotte people all congratulated
Amanzer and seemed very much pleased at
the result. Dr. Utter was shot Septem-
Der 5, died September ID and the boy ac-
quilted October /. Thus IL will be seei.
that very fast time has been made from
start to finish.

Are They Honest.

SALT LAKE CRY. Oct, AT the general
conference Of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints yesterday the official
declaration of President MILFORD Woodruff
forbidding in the future any marriages in
violation of the laws of the land was read,
and the congregation numbering nearly 49,
900 persons, including the apostles, bishops,
and leading elders of the church, by unani-
nous vote recognized the authority of the
president TO issue the manifesto and
acceI ted it as authoritative and binding.
George Q. Cannon publicly announced
his endorsement of the manifesto and his
recognition of the supremacy of laws that
had been declared constitutional by the
Supreme court of the United States. The
conference also re-adopted the original
articles of faith, among which is this:
We believe in being subject TO kings,
presidents, rulers and magistrates in
hbcying, honoring and sustaining the law.
F, The action taken settles the vexed ques-
zion and places an cffectual bar against
polygamous marriages in Utah. 1t is the
most important step taken by the church
for more than a quarter of century.

Hinckney, the absconding cashier OF the

16 months career almost as eventful as
that of Clarence loot. He was visited to-

He said: II fed because l had to. Some

good in my pockets, and went beyond my
means. l spent money freely, and a

A Bold Robbery.

A bold express robbery was committed
on a Cincinnati, Sandusky & Cleveland
train south of Tiffin, o., Thursday morn
ing. Immediately after the train left Ur-
bana two masked men with cooked revolt
vers, entered the express car and compelled
the messenger to throw up his hands.
They then tied him securely, robbed the
safe of packages containing several thous-
and dollars and other valuables. While
they were at work a brakeman attempted
to enter the car and was shot at by one
robber. He gave the alarm. and the train
was slowed up TO give an opportunity to
capture the robbers but they jumped from
the train just as it was entering West
Liberty and disappeared, it then being just
about o'clock. Scudden, the messenger,
was bound in his chair with washline
the robbers brought with them. One of
them, whom the other called "Jack," tried
to kill Scudder before leaving the car,
placing his revolver at his head, and pull
ing the trigger, but the cartridge failed TO
explode. The other robber then prevented
him from trying again. When the train
pulled out of West Liberty the two scoun-
drels again got aboard holding the entire
crew at bay, Scudder, who had been re-
leased, opened fire on them from a pistol
from his car door, but was compelled TO
retreat The robbers kept on board until
Bsllefontaine was reached, when they
ay5.a jumped of and disappeared. The
officers at Bellefontaine are searching for
them. Scudder is about 80 years old, lives
In Cincinnati and has been on his run since
the Adams express company took charge
of the express business on it, about three
years ago. He was previously in the same
company's employ on the Ohio river lines.
Ire had just received his months salary
and that was among the booty.
Two of the robbers were captured al
Bellefontaihe Friday morning by the rail'
road detectives, and one of them has made
a confession. The third rocber implicated
in the Job is still ut large with 5000 of the
plumber in his possession.

Delue Hagerman, owner of a meat
market at Leonard, Lapeer county, last
week engaged a young man giving the name,
of Charles Mcdonald, and his home at Bay
City, and who had references for butcher.
Monday night, while Mr.. Hagerman was
in Buffalo, the fellow tapped the till in the
market and took $50 he found there and
skipped. His whereabouts are unknown
The Godfrey postmaster is in fix. He
recently received parcel from the old
country which was labeled, Liable for
duty, to be opened in the presence of the
consignee by the nearest custom house OH
cial." The nearest official is at Alpena 25
miles away, and the postmaster disliSes
the idea of taking the parcel and consignee
that distance and losing his valuable time.
Serious trouble is on between the log
gers of the Metropolitan lumber company
and the homesteaders around Beechwood,
Upper Peninsula. The homesteaders, who
believe they have the right to the property,
have driven the loggers out and shot their
horses, and now the Metropolitan company
declares il will send "a body of armed men
into the woods at this locality and protect
its rights. Bloodshed is probable.
Calhoun county's forty annual fair
opened at Marshall Tuesday under fiatter
ing prospects of being one of the most sue
cessful efforts of the society. The display
is fine and the exhibition of thoroughbred
horses exceeds that of former years. Res
idents of the county have devoted their at
tention TO this class of stock of late years,
resulting in the production of as fine grade
of thoroughbred animals as can be found
anywhere.
When the president of the Mecosta
county fair left for parts unknown somo
time ago he did not take his Office with
him, and Vice-President j. Barton filled
the duties of the place and doomed things.
Among other things Barton let the saloon
privilege for $25 per day. There has never
been any liquor sold on the grounds before,
and when the citizens learned of Mr..
Barton's move they called a meeting and
made a wild kick. Considerable excite
ment was stirred up and the whole matter
finally settled by the temperance people
buying out the saloon mans franchise.
