MAY RESULT FATALLY.
Scottdale Player Is Likely to Die From
Being Hit With the Ball.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
ScorTDALE, July 16.-The life of A. Gordon,
of the local baseball team, is despaired of as
the result of the injury he received while
playing against Kennedy's colts at Union
town last Saturday. He was struck on the
temple with the ball and was forced to take
his bed and is now delirious.
The local ball club is to be strengthened
by the addition of a couple of first-class
f1elders and batters, and the team is to take
an extensive tour through Western Pennsyl-
vania and Eastern Ohio. The next game
will probably be with the Uniontown club.

Detective Shore yesterday arrested Andrew
Sweeney, supposed to be an accomplice of
Wilson, the Allegheny burglar. When
caught Sweeney was endeavoring to dispose
of $50 worth OF melted gold in a pawn shop

had gathered, he said, and melted into a
lump.
Sweeney kept the house where Wilson
boarded, and claimed that when arrested
with Wilson he had the gold with him, but
the Allegheny police had not considered
him an accomplice. Superintendent Muth
was called into consultation, and soon dis
proved the story.
:: Sweeney will have hearing this morn
ing after which he may be turned over to

Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1891-12-10

During the past few months quite a
number of our citizens have been send
ing copies of the Herald to eastern
friends. Now, would it not be a good
idea to continue these papers after the
1st of January next, and to aid in this
we make the following proposition:
We will send the Herald to any new
name outside of the state Gncluding the
list made up this falD from Jan. l, 1892
to Jan. /, 1893, for Sl.oo Spot Cash;
provided that the party sending said
paper has their own subscription paid
to Jan. l, 1892.
It must be evident to all that there is
no profit in this deal to the publisher of
the Herald. He gives his profit to a
cause which may result in benefit to
Turner county. Many of you were in
duced to come to Dakota by reading
newspapers published here and others
may be influenced the same way. Let
us all pull together for common good
and success will crown our efforts.

Lawyers aud Jnr,cs.

The American Bar Associ-
alton has listened to the usual
attack on the jury system, and
it has been urged before that
body that juries should be
abol shed in civil cases. While
lawyers are talking in this way,
the Western States, which per-
haps voice progressive Ameri-
canism more clearly than the
East, are charging the province
of juries and making the judge
merely an instrument TO explain
the law.
The fact is tina. nine laymen
out Of ten think that lawyers
have power and privilege
enough, and, Whatever the legal
profession may believe or sug.
gest, there is no popular desire
or purpose TO enlarge that power
and privilege, on or off the
bench.
