There was an interesting case o.
trial at the municipal court room on
Wednesday. Last week Mat Leuschen
and George 6o:z had an alteration rela=
tive to the latter's effort to drive over q
regularly laid but as yet unopened roat'
through Mr.. Leuschen's farm, and bad
blood was engendered. Leuschen was
arrested upon complaint OF Botz, and
plead guilty. He was fined a nominal
sum. Not satisfied that justice had been
satisfied, he procured the arrest of Mr..
Botz upon warrant charging assault
and battery, in that he asserted that
Botz hit him with club. The defence
was that the blow, if any, was purely
accidental. AS was engagedin pound
ing down an obstructionin the highway
with a club when Leuschen approached
him. The jury evidently believed him,
for verdict OF not guilty was rendered
after celebrating about two hours.

sHERMAN's CHIEF OF STAFF.
Death of Col. Il. NJ. Dayton From
Pne umOnia.

CINCINNATI, May 1S.-The death of
Col. L. NJ. Dayton at the Queen City
club this moning will be almost as great
shock to his great circle of friends in
military circles as was that of his chief
to the country at large. Col. Dayton
was perhaps closest to Gen. Sherman
of all his military followers. They were
together almost from the beginning to
the end. After the death of Gen. Sher-
man, Col. Dayton for the first time
opened his lips to, speak of the
relations between him and his chief,
and his friends, seeing the value
of his knowledge, urged him
then to put it in form for preservation.
Though not practiced orator, Col.
Dayton on that occasion made speech
of unusual feeling and interest. His
last public appearance was at the annu-
al dinner of the Ohio commaDdery of
the Loyal Legion, May 6. He was then
in perfect health and enjoyed the pres
ence of the assembly of army compan-
ions to the fullest degree. A few days
later he was att lcked by pneumonia,
which terminated in his death this
morning. Col. Dayton was prominent
member of the Society of the Army of
the Tennessee, and was its recording
secretary from its origin until his death.
Col. Dayton married Miss Phillips, of
Dayton, who died several years ago,
leaving no children.

of this company as are capable and az
ceptable will he given preference in
filling all vacancies that occur in our
switching service. :, So long as these at
present employed are capable, and are
desirous of continuing in the service
they will be retained. Those of the
discharged men who have engaged the
company in incessant trouble by foment-

by this company. Hereafter the COM
