Struck ON Blair.

Edward Blair, the murderer, who, un.
less something should intervene, will
pay the penalty for his crime on the gal
lows, has succeeded in capturing a ffut.
tering heart. For some time past q,
young lady by the name of sherman,
and said to hail from Delaware, has been
an almost constant visitor to the annex.
She has become completely snitten with
the alleged charms Of murderer Blair;
and has finally arrived at the conclusion
that he is a much abused man.
To acquaintancess she admitted the fact
that she was more than a mere friend.
The lady comes from good family, and
one, it is said, of high social standing.
All efforts on their part to induce her to
discontinue these trips to the annex,
having failed, she was informed that
her almost daily visits there would lead
to final exposure, but this it seemi
had no effect whatever upon the smitter
fair one.-Columbus Press.

Accident to Mr.. VIII H. Walker.


Mr.. Will Walker, Of the Newly Lum-
ber Company, was seriously injured by
a log rolling over him at their mill at
Round Head on the New Vienna pike
about six miles north of here on Monday
afternoon. The log, was a very heavy
one, measuring two feet in diameter at
the smallest end and eighteen feet in
length. Mr.. Walker was engaged in
rolling it on sloping place, using cant.
hook to turn it over. A splinter on the
handle of the hook caught on his clothes
and threw him over onto the lower side
of the log, which started to roll down
hill, passing directly over him. Very
fortunately there was slight depression
in the ground where his head lay so that
it was not so badly injured as it would
otherwise have been. No bones were
broken, but he was painfully bruised
about the limbs, body and head. A
messenger was Immediately sent to New
Vienna for medical aid and word wa
telephoned from there TO this place
Col. Walker and several OF Billy's friend
drove out 70 see him and found hin
resting comfortably. The extent of hi
injuries is not yet known, but unles
there are some internal complications nj
serious results are anticipated.

BURNS GOES TO THE PEN.
A Sequel to the New Market Horse
Stealing Case.

When Asa johnson was arrested here
last January for stealing a horse from
Mr.. w. H. Hsrshbarger, of New Market,
he tried to inplicate q young man named
w. J. Burns in the theft, claiming that
Barns had advised him to do it. Burns
was detained here but nothing was
proved to show that he had any respon.
sible connection with the crime. John.
son was indicted by the grand jury for
horse stealing but afterward left the
country and forfeited his bail. Burns
was dismissed but while he was in Gus.
tody the officers discovered that he was
crooked character and Marshal John
Lewis succeeded in getting from him
confession that he had robbed the post
Office at Cherry Grove, o. The govern
ment officers were notified and Burns
was arrested and taken to Cincinnati
soon after he left here. Last week he
was convicted in the United States
Court at Cincinnati and sentenced to
two years in the Ohio Pententiary. The
credit for his arrest belongs to our own

CASUALTIES AT THE FIRE.
Hon. j. H. Keech and Mr.. Oscar HOd.
son Meet With Painful Accid ents.

During the burning of the chickery on
Monday morning Mr.. J. H. Keech, the
popular, Clerk of Courts, met with mis-
hap which was very painful at the time
and may possibly result in serious con-
sequences. While the fremen were
standing on ladders throwing water into
the second story windows Mr.. Keech,
with several others, was holding the
ladders steady. Astwo of the men were
descending from the ladder which Mr..
Keech was engaged in holding, they lost
control of the nozzle which was running
full stream at the time and the entire
volume of water struck Mr.. Keech in the
face. The force of the blow can be ap-
preciated when it is remembered that
boards are frequently knocked from a
fence by the stream from the hose being
directed against them. Mr.. Keech was
somewhat stunned by the blow aud re-
ceived considerable injury to his right
eye, the conjunctiva being ruptured and
the surface of the eyeball being wounded.
That part of the eye Immediately in
front of the pupil was not hurt, however,
and it is hoped that no permanent i'm
pairment of vision will result, although
the injury will necessitate the suffering
of very acute pain. :,.-.|'
Mr.Oscar Hodson, fireman on the loco
motive Of the Hillsboro accommodation,
while assisting at. the'sfre suffered a
broken arm. While removing some bags
of rags and feathers from the second
story window he was knocked from his
position on the ladder and fell, striking
his right arm. Both bones were broken
near the wrist in what is known among
physicians as Colley's fracture. The
fracture was set by DR.. Holmes and it il
thought that Mr.. Hodson will not bt
long prevented from resuming his rur
on the road.

Motion for q New Trial Argued In the
Lewis Case.

In response to telegram from Prose-
cutor Garrett, Judge Pugh came down
from Columbus Saturday morning to
hear the argument for q new trial in the
Lewis case. The argument was made
on the grounds set forth in the motion
for a new trial, special point being
made of the manner in which the struck
jury had been drawn. The defense
claimed that the first list Of forty names
drawn by Mr.. Keech, Clerk of the Court,
could not be set aside, and also that
Mr.. Hibben, who was appointed by
Judge Higgins to act in the place of the
Clerk was not sworn in and therefore
was not qualified to act in that capacity.
1t was also objected that Mr.. Hogsett in
his closing argument for the State in the
trial had brought in matter regarding
the rumor that Lewis had shot at a
colored boy on the Sunday previous to
the killing of Elliott and had thus i'm
properly influenced the jury to the
prejudice of the defendant. The case
was ably presented on both sides and
at the close Of the argument Judge
Pugh took the question under advise.
ment and will give his ruling on the
motion at day not set. The defendant
was required to renew his bond until
the decision is rendered. If the motion
should be overruled it will be carried
upto the Circuit Court which meets here
this week.
