Kinley tariff law in France is repro
duced by all the leading journals OF Paris
aud Is pronounced most interesting
document. Apropos OF the question OF
the admission OF American pork, NJ
Siegfried, member OF the chamber OF
deputies, says the United States will be
able TO introduce salt meats into France
in spite OF the French duty. but that If
the United States congress would di-
minish the duties on French silks,
woolens and cottons, "A reduction OF the
French duty on American imports

District Court.

The District Court Is now in session
Judge Bertram presiding. At this
writing but two important cases have
been called. The case of Reling j.
Peterson VS.. John Q. Huston for $1,000
for a stallion sold was tried Tuesday
and Wednesday. The jury were out
all night and returned a verdict of
$500 and costs for the plaintiff. Stin-
son & Gill for plaintiff and g. A.
Spaulding and Mckay & Mccormick
for defendant.
One of the important cases called
at this term and disposed of was that
of the State Bank VS.. Moses Eversol.
It seems that a party named MCGEE
sold Eversol the right to sell in GER
tam territory a certain style Of wire
fence. Eversol gave his note for
S24O which the State Bank purchased
before due. Eversol resisted the pay
ment on the grounds of no value re-
ceived. A jury was called but after
hearing Eversors testimony Judge
Bertram dismissed the case virtually
deciding the case against the defend
ant. The defendant will take the case
to the Supreme Court This was a
test case as there were several of the
same kind in this county. One of the
fine legal points in this case is wheth-
or Eversol gave his note for the right
to sell patent fence. or to sell fence
made by certain machine which Is
patented. Stinson & Gill appeared
for the Bank and Mckay & McCor-
mick for Eversol.

Thad Crozier In Trouble.
The following kilograms copied
from the daily papers give painful
testimony of the deep trouble Thad
Crozier has caused himself and 9th
ers- He is aged about q years, is
the son of Jas. NJ. Crozier, who re-
sides near this place, and who is deep
ly grieved at the Waywardness of his
boy. The Press dispatches say:
January IA special from Mary
vile, Kansas, says: At 40 this af-
ternoon prisoner named Crozier
made his escape from the Marshall
county jail at this place. Sheriff
Bentley and three of the prisoners,
Croz1er being one, were playing cards
Crozier walked to the stove, which
was behind the sheriff, picked up a
shovel, striking the sheriff on the side
of the head, cutting deep cash. He
also gave HIM a hard blow with the
back of the spade full in the face, lay
ing the sheriff out senseless. Crozier
pulled revolver out of the sheriff's
hip pocket and held the other prison
ers at bay, and backed out of jail.
The sheriff Is not expected to live. A
posse of twenty men are hunting for
Crozier, and if caught he will likely
be lynched Crozier was incarcerated
for stealing team of horses at Som
erfeld, this county.
Another account:

while Deputy Sheriff Kenneth Bent

is awaiting trial for stealing, struck
him with a shovel. Crozier seized the
deputy's revolver, and, holding the
other prisoners of, made his escape.

tion.-St. Joe. HeraLd.
j. NJ CrOzier, father of the young
man returned from Colorado only
few days ago after an absence of sew
eral weeks. On Tuesday last he re-
ceived a telegram from Thad that he
was in trouble and to come and see
him. The father left Philllpsburg
for Marysvllle Wednesday night. It
appears that young Thad after his
escape from jail did not get far away
before he was captured and again
shut up in a cell.
Mr. J. M. Crozler is an old resident
of this county. He was Chairman of
the Republican Central Committee
three years, and is a farmer as we'll
as contractor and builder. He was
gallant Union soldier-a man whom
Judge PETER of Topeka and others
speak in the highest terms as a sold
Ter of bravery and moral rectltude.
He doubtless has his faults and his
enemies as we'll as other mel, but in
this trouble he and the mother of the
hayward son will have the deepest
sympathy of this community.
No parents know what grief may
be in store for them because of the ac-
tions of their children. It is said that
strong drink is the cause of the sons
downfall.
The following is from the ST. Joe.
Herald of yesterday:
Deputy Bentley is alive yet, and
the physicians say there Is a chance
for him to recover. There was strong
talk of lynching Crosier when. he was
brought back, but better judgment
prevailed. In addition to the crime
of DEMONSTRATING, he has now to an
