Judge W. =. Whitehouse arrived in
town Thursday afternoon but did not
mold court until Friday morning.
Several cases were disposed of without
jury trial as follows
State v. Geo. T.. Washburn, common seller,
arraigued, pleaded guilty and was fined 800
and costs.
State Y. Clarence Pierce, larcency, arraigned,
pleaded guilty and sentenced to six months in
Auburn Jail.
State W John Sharp and VIM. Moran, assault
arraigned, pleaded guilty, and as they had had
six months already in the county Jail they were
released on their own recOgnizances for good
behavior.
State Y, Alvin Frost, on indictment for poison
ing cattle belonging to Lewis G. Hartford Of
Smlthheld. County Attorney Hoyey for the
State, Hon. o. ID. Baker Of Augusta Tor the de
Tense.
and killing Of these cattle: that the act must
have been intentional Frost the only man who
could have had any motive, this motive being
that he thought Hartford's folks had stolen
money from his house that Frost made over
lures to Trial Justice Ilaines, before whom the
preliminary proceedings were had, to settle the
case, also spoke to Mrs. Hartford about settling
it; that frost had made threats against Hart
ford subsequent to the losing of the money and
previous to the poisoning Of the cattle that Par
Is Green was strewn about the pasture where
cattle were found and tracked in the direction of
Frost's house. The defense was II general deni-
al based upon, lack Of sufficient motive; lack of
opportunity lack of means to accomplish the
crime, etc.
The evidence for the prosecution was circum-
stantia but quite strong. That for the defend
ant was largely testimony of his relatives.
Hon. y. ID. Baker made the argument for the
defense Monday evening occupying one hour
and forty minutes and County Attorney Il0yey
made his argument for the State Tuesday morn
ing, occupying one hour and forty-hve minutes
Judge WhltehOuse gave his charge and the case
wentto the jury just before adjournment Tuesday
noon and the jury when court came in at p.
M. returned a verdict Of Guilty"
Tuesday afternoon the case of John l.. Pierce
Henry +. Maynard, Clymena ID. Craig and Joel
N. Pierce all of Solon appellants, Y. The Som
erset hallway Company, came up for trial. This
is IA case where these parties appeal from the
award of damages to their property by the build
ing of the railroad upon their land, as made by
the county commissioners. On Monday the
jury before whom the case is being tried visited
SCION and viewed the premises. Walton K

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an nfamed condition of the mu-
Gus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets intiamed you have n rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely closed Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucus surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by Catarrh)
that we can not cure by taking Halls Ca
tarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Death claims all ages for his own
This young man died on September 30,
in the twenty fourth year Of his age. He
WAS in the woods during the winter, but
came out the last of April With his health
greatly impaired. The genial sunshine
of spring and early summer brought nc
healing, and, as the season advanced, it
was evident that his days were numbered
Throughout his long and painful illness
he had sustained interest in divine
things. He was patient and teachsble
and welcomed gladly those that would
lead his feet into the brightest paths
The end came as peacefully as sleep to q
tired child. The funeral was conducted
by Rev. A. j. Rackllif and Rev. c V. Hau
son. L. L. Sturtevant, A. K. Smiley
Mrs NJ. T. Pooler and Mrs. Emma Halves
rendered the tribute of song. Many
friends brought floral offerings. He
leaves widow and one like mother to
mourn his loss.
