GETS OFF LIGHTLY.
Sam Douglass Found Guilty Of Assault
and Battery.

The jury in the case OF Sam Douglass,
the New Boston man who cut Ed Skeen
last summer, on Monday evening re.
turned a verdict oI not guilty on the two
counts of the indictment, sia5biDg with
intent to kill and stabbing with intent
to wound, but found him giil'y of as
sault and battery. He has not YET been
sentenced, but h. and his aliuncys are
very well satisfied with tiu .~r,livt.
Douglass and Skeen, IL will ha r-,ncrn-
bered, got into fight over IS cents
owed the former, and Ske,n was SO bad.
ly cut that his life Was ,,cspa.r, d Of
Skeen himself couldn't tel very
straight s,vry on the stand, and there
was good deal of evidence going to
show that Skeen was about as much an
aggressor as Douglass, so that the lat
ter's claim of selT.defense was given
some foundation.
The defendant was represented by H.
D. Davis and d. G. Morrow.

Edwin Ferry appeared in "Virginius"
at the Ashland last night, and those who
saw him will long cherish a feeling of
high regard for this rising young trag-
edian. No actor that has appeared in
this city could simulate emotion to such
perfection as did Ferry. and his unusu.
ally strong voice and striking presence
lent much to the charm OF his very ex:
celIsnt acting. Miss Van Zile, as Virgin.
ia, was also exceptionally good, while
Mr. Harrison, as D.ntatus, was true to
life and sustained the part with easy
dignity. John Collin, in the role of
Appius Claudis, ,,carried out the part
with great effect, and young Mr. Far
mum, as Icillus, was grand, his youth
fitting him well for the part. This
young gentleman is rapidly improving
and is promising actor. The minor
parts were all well executed and the
entire play very satisiaciory.r-Ashland

Graves Gets Three and One.Half Years.

Clint Graves. the young colored man
from Greenfield, who at the time of our
going to press last week was on trial for
robbery, was found guilty under the in
dictment, the jury returning Its verdict
Thursday evening. Sentence was post
poned until Saturday, when his at
torneys, Irwin and Wilson, appeared
and moved for a new trial for their
client. They base their demand on the
alleged misconduct of Lon Hayes, one
of the jurorsin the case, who, they say,
was seen drinking in saloon with one
of the States witnesses. The hearing
of the motion was set for December 26th.
On Monday afternoon the motion for
a new trial was withdrawn and Graves
was sentenced to three and one half
years in the penitentiary.

Look Out For Frauds.

If any one calls on you at your house
or place of business, calling himself a
doctor, and offering to sell medicines or
to treat you for any disease, and claim

The France Medical institute Co., you
may rest assured that he is fraud and
swindler, We employ no medicine ped
dlers, and we never call en- people pro.
fessionally at their residence, except at
their own request. Several skilled and

our establishment visit various parts OF
the country solely for the purpose of con.
sulting with and examining patients who

I:LAND AND WATER.
Council will Give Us More Of Both
Before Long.

Council has got down to business in
earnest on the water works and annex
alton questions and il the present streak
OF activity keeps up we'll increase our
territory and have water works before
many moons. At the meeting Tuesday
night after the presentation OF a few
bills the two ll.absorbing questions
constituted the main business.
The special committee on water works
reported an ordinance drawn up pro-
viding for the erection of the system.
The only thing to prevent an immediate
vote on it was the fact that few meas.
urements were lacking to complete it.
Engineer Flad, OF st. Louis, has been
cent for to make the necessary measure
ments, and as soon as he finishes his
work the ordinance will probably go
through. He is expected here by Friday.
The committee OH annexation couldn't
agree at all on report. Mr.. Pence pre-
sentcd resolution providing for the
annexation of territory within entirely
different lines from those OF the old
ordinance; Mr.. Smith still stands up
for the former ordinance, and Mr.. Rock.
holds idea differs somewhat from Mr..
Pence's although in the main the same.
The two new schemes brought up would
add about half the territory proposed
under the other ordinance. The matter
was referred back to the committee un.
til another meeting.
The Gas Company's continued outrage
on the village and citizens came up, but
the stencil from the company's pipes
forced Council to adjourn and seek fresh
air before any action was taken. Another
meeting will be held Friday night.

GORE IN GREfNFIELD.
Com Mack Fatally Stabbed by "POle.
cal' Wilson.

Green6eld has come to the front again
with cutting affray, which will in all
probability result in the death of Tom
Mack, a young carpenter there, who
was on. of the participants. Mack and
a man known as "Polecat" Wilson, liv.
ing near Harper's Station, Ross county,
had been drinking together Saturday
evening and began quarreling in an up
town saloon. They were kept from do
ing any damage to each other at that
time, but abont eleven o'clock met at
the B. & O S.W. depot, where the quar-
rel was renewed. Mack finally struck
Wilson, who drew an ugly knife and
made at Mack, cutting him three times,
once in the bowels. The doctors give
out no hope for Mack's recovery, al
though he has fighting chance to pull
through. The priest was called in on
Sunday to administer extreme JUNCTION.
Mack is OF respectable Irish family in
Greenfield and is spoken of as hard
working man but given to drink.
Wilson fled Immediately after the
affray to his home in Ross county. He
was arrested there on Sunday and taken
to Greenfield t. await his preliminary
hearing, which will probably not he had
for several days, or until the extent of
Mack's injuries are ascertained. Wilson
is man probably fifty years of age and
derives his peculiar name of "Polecat"
from his occupation as a trapper.

While we do not want say anything to
interfere with the business of valuable
interest in our community, we would
like to ask the managers of the stone
quarry east OF town If they cannot use
less dynamite and powder in dislodging
their rock. Such earthquakes as they
at times produce are doing considerable
petty injury to property. A number of
cisterns have been cracked, some glass
broken, foundations weakened, and oc.
casionally wall broken by the tre-
mendous conclusions. There is much
complaint and it is to be hoped that, if
possible, the charges should be less cat
aclysmic hereafter.
