COURT MINUTES.

ings closed last week, the trial of
James Carson, on the charge of lar
ceny, was in progress. The case was
given TO the jury on Wednesday at
4 p. m. The jurors were out all of
that night until Thursday at about
4 D. M. when they were discharged,
being unable to agree on a verdict.
Some time in the early Iart of the
summer Mrs. NJ. Andrews, postmis-
tress at Kellettville, lost a pocket book
containing money, notes and checks
to the value of something over $500.
After the lapse of a week or two she
adeinformation against Mr.. Carson,
who carries the mail between Tones.
ia and Kellettville, charging him
with the theft of the pocket book.
The evidence adduced at the trial
was not sufficient to convince all of
the twelve jurymen that the accused
was guilty, hence the disagreement.
1t is said the jury stood 10 for acquit.
ted and 2 for conviction another re
port says it was S to 4 in favor of
acquital, but as no one outside the
jury room is supposed to know, it still
remains an uncertainty as to just how
they did stand.
Another case which elected consid.
cradle interest was that of Louisa d.
Kaman VS.. r. Kamau. The young
woman sued her father for wages
alleged to be due her from the time
she became ofage until about a year
ago. Many witnesses, pro and con,
were heard, and the case was contest.

GRAND JURY PREsENTMENT.
The Grand Jury also reported
that they acted on six bills of indict.
ment, of which two were found true
bills and four not true bills. They
recommend that the stove pipes in
the Jail and the main sill on the East
side of the building be repaired, and
that the building be repainted on the
outside. Also that three more bulle.
tin boards be placed in the court
house hall, and that the practice of
FASTING bills on the doors and walls
of said hall be abated. They recon-
mend the repairing of the plaster and
stove pipes throughout the court
house. They further present, that the
Pittsburgh & Western r.. r. Co., do
permit and allow their employees to
leave cars and trains of cars to stand
on the tracks IN South Forest ST., it
being a public road, in the town of
Marienville, jerks township, and
thereby detain the travelling public
to an unlimited length of time, and
thereby, cause public nuisance ; and
they recommend that the said rail-
road company be advised OF the fact
by the court, and the nuisance order
ed abated. The drainage under the
said railroad tracks on South Forest
ST., is not sufficient to carry away the
water accumulating along said tracks
on said street, and they recommend
that the court order the said company
to build or cause to be built sewers
sufficient for the drainage of said
street. And further that the said
railroad company permits and allows
water to accumulate and stand along
its tracks on its own premises in the
town of MarienvIlle, until it becomes
stagnated and injurious to the health
o fthe community, and they recon-
mend that the court order said
nuisance abated.
