Origin of the Arab steed.

The origin of the best strain of Arabian
blood has been related by some romancer.
While Mohammed was fighting his way "a
greatness he was once compelled to lead his
corps of 10000 cavalry for three days with-
out a drop of water. At last, from hill
top, they deserted the silver streak Of a dis
tant river. Mohammed ordered his trum-
peter to blow the call to dismount and loose
the horses. The poor brutes, starving for
water, at once sprang into a mad gallop
towards the longed for goal. No sooner
loosened than came the alarm-faise as IL
happened-of a sudden ambush. "ro
horse!" was blown, and repeated by a hun.
dred bugles. But the demand was TOO
great; the parched threats were not TO bs

crowd but five mares responded to the call.
To these duty was higher than suffering.
They turned in their tracks, came bravcly

county convicted Enoch Corter of murder
In the first degree, despite his protesta-
lions OF innocence, and the judge sentenced
him to prison for life. The circumstantial
evidence seemed so strong that even a life
sentence did not meet the approval of the
people. and mob violence was threatened.
1t now appears that Corter was an innocent
man.

LEBANON, Ind, Oct 29-James Cooley
Brown has been acquitted OF the charge of
killing Of c. s. Wesner in the courthouse at
DanvilIe. The jury returned It's verdict
early this morning.
On the 10Th day of May last, when the
news of the killing of Wesner reached this
city, the widest excitement prevailed. All
sorts OF theories and stories were afioat,
and Mr.. Brown was removed TO Indianap-
oils for fear of bodily violence. Wesners
burial occurred two days after the shoot
ing. and there was an exceptionally large
funeral cortete. Browns trial began in
court here Oct. L.. Every inch of ground
was fought over by the attorneys who
were men of State reputation in their pro-
fession. The jurors went out at IL o'clock
noon, Saturday. and arrived at their de-
cision at midnight. Judge r. r. Stephen
son had taken the evening train for Indian
apolis. leaving instructions to telegraph him
If a verdict was reached and he would re-
turn on the o'clock train. The train was
late. arriving here at o'clock this morn
ing. The bailiff brought the prisoner into
court, the jurors fled in and presented
their verdict to Judge Stephenson, who
passed 1t to the clerk. The latter read
aloud: I've. the jury. find the defendant
not guilty as charged in the Indictment"
The jury was then polled and the verdict
recorded.
Mr. Browns wife. his brother, Henry T.
Brown, and wife. Wesner's two sons and
three others were all who witnessed the
final proceedings. No attorneys were pres
ent- Brown seemed overjoyed at the re-
suit. The Wesner boys made no demon
stration. The bailiff accompanied Brown to
his residence. where he was welcomed by
his three children. who were joyous over
seeing their father at home again after
five months incarceration in the county
jail They Rugged and kissed him, with
tears or joy streaming down their faces
Mr.. Brown was the streets here until
noon to-day, when he and his family left
for the worlds fair. The general feeling
among the people is that the verdict was
right Brown received quite a number of
congratulatory kilograms. Trouble was
feared when the case was venued here
that it would cause strife between the
friends of both men. but VIII IN the jury was
accepted, they being men of high standing
and integrity, the people felt that their de-
cision would be a righteous one But few
COMBINATIONS We're heard to-day Mrs.
WesDer's $4,000 damage suit will likely be
compromised soon
