A substitute for lard1
Upsetting the customs, hab-

cooking product-it is bet

is cheaper as every house

MOCK COURT TRIAL.
Librarian Bassett Found Guilty of Steal
 ing a Rooster.

Librarian Bassett Found Guilty of Steal
 ing a Rooster.
 The celebrated mock court trial came up before a large audience at the opera house last night. The affair had been the talk of the town for week or more.
 The idea of E. c. Lewis stealing Major Spencer's rooster shocked the many people who knew the judge. But the detectives secured evidence that MT Lewis was not the guilty one, who was evidently Librarian Bassett. Public interest was revived and the case was heard last night.
 Judge Cowell occupied the bench and c. s. Chapman acted as officer of the court. Attorney N. R. Bronson was crler and Editor Kimball performed the duties of clerk. Attorney O'Neill prosecuted and Captain Newton defended the prisoner.
 The work of securing jury resulted in securing a fairly intelligent lot of men. The following names were re- sponded to by the following citizens. Grover Cleveland-Dr F. F. Cook; Jay Gould-C. F. Mitchell; T. Dewitt Tal- mage-Dr w. L. Barber; Governor Bulk l eley-A. A. Blackman; B. F. Butler-H. w. Scovill; Dr Parkhurst-G. H. Ben- ham; John L. Sullivan-B. G Fran; L B. Morris-L. s. White; James J. Cor bett-L. I. Munson; James P. Pigott- w. R. Mattison; s. w. Kellogg-A. c. Benjamin Harrison-R A. Lowe. General Kellogg was barred out. Then the evidence was produced by | the prosecution. It was laughable in- | deed. The defense put in very good | testimony to show that MT Spencer was a monomaniac on the subject of poultry.
 The summing up and Judge Cowells | charge to the jury, were particularly amusing. Their verdict was that the prisoner was insane and he was sen- fenced for life to the Old Ladies' home at soft labor, the first and last ten hours to be in solitary confinement. The judge informed the prisoner that he was mighty fortunate in getting off so easily and court adjourned. Prosecuting attorney O'Neill secured l a postponement of the following cases No 1162.-State vs Henry Scovill. The said Scovill standing charged in one well-authenticated instance with over exertion while playing lawn tennis. No 1175.-State vs Nathan Merrill. The said Merrill standing charged to owning and peddling doughnuts in a wagon, the said doughnuts being seasoned with very hard cider, leading to a great increase of drunkenness and debauchery.
 No 11S2.-State vs c. Collard Adams. The said Adams standing charged to aiding and abetting one Pigott to secure the election to congress against the claims of one Deacon Kellogg of the Second church, the said Deacon Kellogg being the fellow townsman and inti mate friend of the said C. Collard Adams.
 1190-State vs Jean Jacques. The said Jacques standing charged with selling Saxony tea to the hellelujah lasses of the the Salvation army.
 1193-State vs Dr F. F. Cook. The said Cook standing charged with filling the teeth of patient, one Kelly, g baker, with American tin, and charging the said Kelly for the same according tC the Mckinley tariff.
 The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Y. M. c A., under whose auspices the entertain ment was given, will realize a net prof of about $150.
