TIE holland
General Surprise That the jury
Failed to Aree-The Jury
Stood Six to Six.

SSOS~ SA S |
JEFFERSON CRY, Mo, May To-
The disagreement of the jury in
the trial of ex-State Treasurer Ed.
T. holland has been the chief topic
of conversation here to-day. How
six Of the jury managed to believe
the ex.Treasurer innocent, when
even the defence did not attempt
to disprove a shortage, is a mystery
not likely to be solved. No one
doubts the deficit unless it be the
six jurymen who voted for acquit-
tai.
It has been charged that the
State made a weak case. The evi.
dence does not indicate anything of
the kind. It could not have been
more convincing unless the jury
had witnessed Mr.. holland taking
the money from the Treasury.
This is about the only omission
the State did not supply. AS a
m after of fact Attorney-General
Wood, Joseph r. Edwards and
Judge w. S. Davidson presented a
vast amount oftestimony and man.
aged the case we'll. Governor
Francis has also been unjustly
criticised. 1t will be a hard mat
tur to show that the Governor per-
formed any duty other than what
he should have done under the
circumstances.
The truth OF the matter is that
the prosecution did not attempt to
create any feeling against Mr.. No
land. The States case was pre-
sented without any prejudice what.
ever. Mr.. hollands previous good
standing was admitted and no eff
fort was made to show how he ex.
pended the money. No person
was asked any compromising ques,
lions. No old stories that have
been repeated from time to time
referred to. The defence acted
ON the theory that a mere
conviction would satisfy justice
and there was nc disposition to in
woke the full penalty of the law.
Speaking of the case to-day, a
State official said according to
the views of the six jurymen who
voted to acquit Mr.. holland, Treas.
urer Stephens could to-day take
every cent of the States money,
the Office furniture, the carpets of
the floor and even the door-knobs
and by merely making a claim, un-
substantlated by proof, that he did
not take such property with the
intention of converting it to his
own use, the State would never be
able to convict him"
!. As stated in last nights dis
patches the case will probably be
retrisd early in June, as Judge
Burgess can then devote several
weeks to the trial. The indica-
tons are that the State will go at
the prosecution with a meat axe, so
to speak, and bring to light every
event connected with the defalca-
ton In the most remote way.
There is some complaint about one
of Judge Burgess instructions for
the defence. 1t does not appear
that this instruction in fuenced the
jury to any extent. 1t was repeat
eddy stated that one or two mem
bers of the jury stated before the
instructions were read that they
would vote for an acquittal and it
was common talk about town as
soon as the jury was impanelled
that from four to six of them would
never consent to a verdict of gull

AakiRg Use q Old Battls6slds as Training
Grounds.

Baltimore Herald: The Germans have
often used their ancient battlefleIds on
which to train their soldiers. Just before
the Franco-P russian war the evolutions
Of the Prussian army were held on the
historic field Of Leuthen, in Silesia, where,
In 1867, Frederick defeated the Austrians.
For . year or two after the I.euthen
evolutions the Prussian troops needed no
instruction, having an abundance Of prac-
tice on the plains and among the fields Of
France, but year after the war was over
and the victors had returned to Berlin
the field Of Rossbach was chosen for their
evolutions, where Frederick defeated the
French and imperial armies, and the his
toric significance Of the maneuvers on
those two memorable fields cannot be ex-
aggerated.
A few years ago the south German evo-
lutions were held on the fieldof Blenheim
where Marlboro, with the English and
Austrians, defeated the combined French
and Bavarian armies. The lines were
drawn up in exact accordance with the
records Of that wonderful victory; the
mistakes made by both sides were pointed
out. and, in the evOlutiOns, recti6ed, and
Il was cOnclusively shown that in place
Of Marlboro being victor be should by all
the rules Of regular warfare. have been
defeated with terrible slaughter. The
Austrians have several times utilized Aus
teriltz, in Moravia, where Napoleon de-
ieated the combined Russian and Aus
tTian armies, and won the battle that de.
cided the fate Of central Europe.

LAssoING BEARS m YAKMA.-Some
weeks ago Mr.. Fred Parker had an en-
counter with bear that came near turn
ing out to his serious disadvantage. In.
stead Of his getting the bear, the bear
came within an acc Of getting him. Mr..
Parker wasn't satisfied, and determined
upon revenge for the mental and bodily
discomforts to which he was subjected,
90 enc day last week, In company Of
Nicholas Mccoy he started for the Column
bia river. In the vicinity Of Coal creek
q bear was sighted. He was nothing
more than good sized cub, although he
looked o. big as q mountain to the boys,
for Nicholas, although he has seen his
sixtieth year, classes himself in that cat
egoEy. A council Of war was held and
Mr.. PaEker's plans Of capture by the
lariat prevailed over his companion's ad-
vocacy Of short work with the gun. Then
the chase commenced. Bruin showed
speed aud bottom and was not overhauled
until q point about two miles beyond the
Mckee home ranch was reached, where
Mr.. Parker succeeded In throwing his
rope over the bears forequarters and by
O dexterous twist sent him over on his
back. Nicholas then showed the value
Of his training in mountains and on sage
brush plains, for he quickly had his lash
ings around the cubs hind legs, and then
bis submission and capture was an easy
matter. He was loaded into wagon,
brought to this city and presented to W.
Wallace Anterior, Of the Hotel Yakima,
who has had pen constructed and .
climbing pole erected where bruin daily
disPorts himself to the amusement Of an
admiring throng OF sightseers. The use
Of the lariat In this section Of Washington
Is growing In popularity. Several bears
have thus been caught this season, and 1t
Is still green in the memory Of our citi-
Eens how the Mckee cowboys roped .

IT'S INFLUENCE 1T WANTS.
The Citizens Company Knucklng to String
PullerS in Working for q Franchise.

The Citizens Street railroad Company
effort TO get its franchise renewed this
time. The first fact it has laid down, ap-
parently. Is that the municipal admins
tration is Democratic, and the second fact
is that it is largely controlled by
the two Democratic newspapers and u small
clique of Democratic business men," Ger
tain it is that there has been q striking
change in the attitude of the News upon
the street-railroad question of late. In
stead of advocating competition as it
formerly did it has consistently OPP
posed the effort of the Cincinnati
street railroad syndicate to get a
footing in either the county or the city.
The killing of this project is. OF course. the
first object of the Citizens company. 1t
would naturally have much less trouble
getting what it wants from the city if
there were nobody else asking the use of
the streets.
The long conference between John p.
Frenzel and President Fowler, last Thurs
day night, was mentioned III Friday 9

gan. At this conference the franchise
question and the prospects of the new COM
pany were the subjects of discussion. The

DANGER FLAGS OUT.
Clifford Avenue Neglected Until It Has Become
along Line Of Deep Chuck Holes.

The red flags which have been flying on
Clifford avenue for several days past
are not smallpox signals, but signals
of danger and distress; danger to any
vehicle whose owner has the temerity
to drive over the street and distress from
the long suffering the people must bear
from the Democratic municipal admins
tration. Last year Clifford avenue was to
have been paved by the Council, but the
contract was never let. This year. good
and early. unanimous petitions for paving
it with brick were filed with the Board of
Public Works. The board was ais o as
sured by the Woodruff Place trustees
their portion of the avenue. and
il was also RELIABLY informed that
guarantee paper would be gotten up to
cover the portion upon which the govern
Inent property fronts. SO there was no dan
ger of the bids being to high.
MesSrs. Conduit. Scherrer and Defrees
were taken over the avenue and shown It's
horrible condition. and they are fully
aware of tho fact that the avenue Is q
thoroughfare for the whole northeastern
section OF the city. They are not crampcd
for money; about $4,000 of their apprOpria-
tion tor street improvements will be- left
when those now under way are paid for.
The Clifford. a. enue paving seems 10 have
died simply because the board, by labOrinR
industri0usly from six to ten hours a
week on city business did not get
around TO ii. The street has
gone from bad 10 worse, until even at this
season of the year, when the mud-roads of
the country are in good condition, il is
well-nigh impossible. and the people at
last have hoisted dan ger- 81 gnals. placing n
red flag over such chuck holes as are more
than a foot and a half deep. The flags
have caused an immense amount of COM
ment throughout the First ward, and the
idea has spread to several of the side
streets that are In bad condition.
