John G. Hall died at the home of his

Mr.. Hall moved to this town from Dan
Vile something over thirty years ago.

/ cellent neighbor, a deacon OF the Cong.
church for many years and man unlvers-
ally esteemed. He was nearly eighty years
of age. He leaves a wife and five chill
dren, three of whom are in the West.

Lean officiating. 1t was a singular fact
that his only sister, Mrs. Jonathan Farr

Considerable indignation is felt here
over the action of the ''side" judges of
the county court in cutting down the bail
of Fred NJ. Hunt TO $1,000, one-half the
sum set by the Justice before whom the
hearing was had, and who knew the facts
and the enormity of the crimes alleged.
If Hunt intended to be present at the trial
he could have obtained the full bail as
easily as the smaller sum; if he intends
to run away and escape justice the $1,000
will be less sum for him to pay. The
action is in keeping with that of the
Judges who gave Frank Hunt year in
state prison for a heinous crime against
society, which ought to have been punish
ed so severely as to have been an exam
pie long remembered. Kindness and len
iency are good qualities, but when they
lead men to turn criminals loose in SOcie-
ty they are reprehensible.
