DRAGGING WEARILY ALONG
Nothing Particularly New Develops in
the Trial of William Kittell.
A Small Ripple of Exctsment-The Shooting
Park Contr0versy-ROw Over Cow-An
Officer Assaulted-Minor Cases.

The Kittell case still drags wearily on in
the Criminal Court without any particu-
larry strange developments taxing place.
Mr.. Sharp testified as to the examination
made at Cincinnati between the samples
and the goods stored there, and said the
goods did not tally with the samples either
in size. quality or figure. A small breeze
of excitement was caused when Mr.. Dun
can asked Mr.. Sharp if he had received q
raise of salary recently. A vigorous OBJ
jection was made to this question by the
attorneys for the prosecution. and the wit
ness told Mr.. Duncan that il was mono Of
his business but the court believed it was
some of his business. and compelled the
witness to answer the question. He re-
piled that he had received a raise Of salary
since the arrest OF Kittell, explaining that
since the arrest he had been doing the work
formerly done by both, and that the raise
was in consequence of the additional work.
Several of the witnesses testified to the
examination of the goods at Cincinnati.
all of them testfying TO su bstantlally the
same state of facts as was published at tho
time of the examination.
The Shooting Park Case.
The Shooting Park injunction case as
on trial in the Circuit Court yesterday. An
affidavit filed by Paul H. Krauss. president
of the board OF directors. set forth the
causes which led the board to remove the
targets and forbid shooting on the grounds.
The affidavit sets out that most of the lots
south of the park having been sold. the
purchasers desire to erect houses upon
their property, but are afraid to on account
of the shooting, as the bulwark back of
the targets are not bullet proof, and the
rifles used having range OF one mile. 1t is
dangerous TO even pass the park when
there is any shooting taking place. 1t also
alleges that the association is not able to
repair the bulwarks. as there is only S19.19
in the treasury and an indebtedness of ST.
500 outstanding.
SIDES. and will in all probability be taken
to the Supreme Court for final settlement.
