GUILTY." SAYS THE JURY
In the Case of Geo. r. Green, anc
Confinement. in the Penitenti-
airy for Life, Is the Sentence.

The trial of Geo. f. Green for mur-
der, mentioned last week, continued
with unabated interest throughout,
the courtroom being crowded at every
session. On Wednesday the Court
and jury visited the scene of the mur-
der, but the woods at the point where
Davidson was shot had been cleared
away, so that nothing of Importance
was gained by the visit The Court
convened Thursday morning, when
the opening speech for the defense was
made by Hon. j. j. Nesbitt, who made
an earnest and eloquent plea for his
client. Following Mr.. Nesbitt came
c. w. Nesbitt, for the Commonwealth.
This was an able and ingenious pre-
sentation of the testimony adduced in
this trial, and reflects great credit upon
the legal knowledge of the County At
toney.
Just before the hour of noon. Mr..
Nesbitt concluded his speech and Il.
T. Young, of Mt. Sterling, bega" his
speech for the defense, but, before he
had finished, Court adjourned for din
ner. In the afternoon, Mr.. Young re-
sumed and made an able and interest
ing plea for the defendant. Next in
order came Allie Young, the brilliant
young attorney of Morehead, represent
ing the State. He spoke over two
hours, and, as the people here remem-
bercd his former able speech in this
case two years ago, every inch of
space was occupied in the courtroom
long before court opened. The ladies
of the town and community turned
out EN- masse to hear an eloquent at
torney. The close attention they gave
him in the heated and crowded room
was the best evidence that they were
not disappointed. 1t is no exagger-
alton to say that Mr.. Young delivered
one of the finest speeches ever heard
in the courthouse. 1t was careful
resume of all the evidence in the case.
1t was fine combination of logic,
eloquence and legal knowledge. de-
void of acrimony or vituperation, and
was most able presentation of the
testimony as viewed by the counsel
for the Commonwealth. Mr.. Young
is yet young man, and certainly has
a bright future before him. Col. III.
J.. Stone, of Louisville, followed Mr.,
Young in a speech Of three hours.
His speech was an able and exhausting
presentation of his clients claims.
Friday evening M. M. Redwine made
the closing speech representing the
G Commonwealth. Mr.. Redwine en-
tered upon the discussion calmly and
and in a most able
manner he represented the interests
of the Commonwealth. He is an able
and this speech was up TO
the usual standard of excellence.
Taken all together, counsel on both
sides acquitted themselves admirably.
The case was submitted to the jur J

Several gentlemen were discussing
The refusal of the Magistrates to sub
nit the proposition to vote aid to the
midland r. r., when one took acca-
sion to say: "The one reason l am
a8ainst the new Constitution is that
w will not let me help to vote tax on
u re d--m stingy fellows, who by
Their misery instincts have managed
to scrape together some money, and
#ho thenceforth think it their duty to
stand in the way of all progress"
Another said: "The one reason
above all others that am for it, is
that it cuts down the number OF
Justices of the Peace, and / hope to
live to see the day when those that II
does leave to us will be only mem
.1nAof what has been." They both
ntly want the road.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1891-09-22

The board of Magistrates met on
Wednesday, at O'Clock, p. m, to con-
sider proposition from the Kentucky
Midland Railroad Company, to extend
their road from North Middetown or

o EVEN CLUES.
Parkison Seems to law Pretty Effect
rally Faded AWAY.

Not the slightest clue of a positive ma
ture has been obtained throwing any
light on the whereabouts of Parkison.
Ben Bainum and AL. Cooper have re-
turned from their hunt in the neighbor-
hood OF Fort Collins and the only dep
uties now out are s.. K. Sharpless who
was last heard of at Grand Island, and
Deputy Vaughn. who is working in the
northern part of the county. Sharpless
wired from Grand Island that he would
be home yesterday morning but he had
not arrived at 10 o'clock last night.
There is a possibility that he has struck a
trail.
What was supposed TO be a good trail
was struck at Greeley. A man answering
to the description of Parkinson purchased
at Greeley a ticket to Boulder. The in
| dividual, whoever no was, got off the
train at Collins instead of going through
to Boulder. No farther trace of him
could be found. A rumor from
the jail is that the other prisoners thought
a mob was after Miller or some prisoner
whom they intended to hang. If the
prisoners had understood the sit
uation they might have persuaded
the man with the whiskers, COO
demeanor and great nerve, to liberate
them all.
A gentle hint to the effect that if all
were turned loose no alarm could be given
might have been effectual. The Jail Is
still said to be haunted. Guard Kelley
said yesterday that the night before two
men we're seen BY Mrs. Sharpless prowl-
ing about the premises. Yesterday the
iron door was taken from its hinges by
blacksmiths Rogers & son, taken to their
shop and q peep hole drilled in it. The
hole is about an inch in diameter and has
a steel cover on the inside. This cover
can be turned on or off by the guard.
allowing him to see any one who may APP
proach-provided. of course, they keep
in range of the hole. A very amusing
letter was received bv Sheriff Kelley yes
terday from some one at Badger who
stated hat Vaughn was only forty minutes
behind Parkison. The writer offered his
services and said if they were wanted to
wire him. If not an expert in spelling
and composition he might make q first
class deputy sheriff and to give him a
trial might result in a capture.

How It Adds to the Value of all
Ranch Land.
List of Recent Applications Allowed
and Refused BY the Board.


Many people are not ware of the
amount of work being done in this state
on irrigating bitches or of the amount of
ranch is of very little value even for
stockraising unless a portion of the land is
covered by ditch. thus guaranteeing a
liberal supply of hay. The value OF a
ranch is very much enhanced when
brought under ditch. and since the
passage of the new law, ditch property is
just as stable as any other. When a man
has finished his ditch and brought the
water onto his and the state board of
control issues him a certificate OF appro-
priatIon. which, as a title to water, is
about what a United States patent is to
land. This being the case if it is desirable
to sell the land a clear title to the water
right can be given. But in order that
the water rights may be carefully guarded
and preserved, it is necessary for the state
engInee to use proper discretion in
granting applications to appropriate
water. He must know the amount of
cater which can he a~nnronriated from
every stream in the state and when the
limit has been reached must refuse all
further applications. During the latter
mart ot the nresent month n number NJ
annl,cations have been refused IN that
ground.
