to be found, and when the clerk
read the verdict the shout of appro-

shake the house. Shouts of ''hurrah
for Baker," "Hurrah for Bote-
tourt!' sounded from hundreds of
the best citizens of this coun-
ty, and all efforts to silence the au-
dit nee were totally unavailing. For
several minutes these cries of ap-

tossed TO the ceiling until the air
was fairly blackened. 1t was the
