INDIANAPOLIS, July 24.-Claude Mat

very cheerful spirits. BY special invita-

in the anticipation that it would be an
overwhelming one.

TRYING TO SAVE COL. KING.
He Will be Taken Before the
United States Court.

United States Court.
MEMPHIS, July 2+.-Thc attorneys of
Col. II. Clay King, condemned to be
hanged on August II for the murder of
David II. poston in this city on March
10, 1891, have applied for and have
received writ of habcas corpus, citing
Sheriff McLerdon to produce the body of
H. Clay King before the United States
circuit court, Judge Howell L. Jackson,
at Nashville, on Thursday next, and
plead to the allegement that Col King is
held a prisoner by him.
During the trial of King in the lower
court which lasted oyer a month and oc-
Cured i'll the midst of the heated term,
the officer in charge of the jury took
| them on an excursion across the river on
a ferryboat.
The trip was taken merely for fresh air
and recreation. The jury was kept apart
from other passengers, and the usual
precautions were observed. But the
boat touched Arkansas soil, and the de-
fence made of the incident it's chiefreliance
for reversal in the state supreme court.
| There were numerous other exceptions
taken and argued, but Of all the grounds
tor new trial urged, none was dwelt
with such stress as that trip to Arkan-
sas. The contention was that the mo-
ment the jury got beyond the jurisdic-
tion of the court, it was in legal effect
then and there disbanded. Thereturn to
Tennessee did not re-establish its legal
status as a jury, hence conviction by
such body of men was not due process

and cmbers had swept across Harrison
street and i'll fifteen minutes the cast row
of frame buildings from 33d to 3Oth

The iiremen would no sooner lay their

flee for their lives.
Burning boards were carried 200 feet
in the air and wherever they dropped
some house or store would at once add
its fuel to the conilagration.

A YOUTHFUL BURGLAR.

Last week Wednesday night Scott
Bros store on the Avenue was brok-
en- into by some unknown person
and several little things, including
eont@C L.onery, were taken. Entrance
was gained by breaking a cellar
window. Instead of repairing the
window it was left open and a watch
kept, thinking the thief might return.
Between II and 12 o'clock on Sun
day he did return, but the watch
happened to be off just then and he
was not detected. About O'Clock
the same afternoon he made another
visit to the store and proceeded as
before to fill his pockets with candy.
But this time Mr.. Scott was IN the
back store watching him and as he
turned to leave, Mr.. Scott closed the
door and made him prisoner. 1t
proved to be a young boy about nine
predicament there was some vocifer-
Gus believing. He was turned over
to the authorities and placed in the
lookup until Monday, when he was
lodged in Jail. He seems to be a
hardened little criminal, and takes
his Imprisonment in sullen indiffer-
ence. Scott Bros. refuse to make any
charge against him and the officers
will do with him as may seem best
for the boys future good.
