TRIED TWICE FOR ONE CHARGE.


Mclean Complain That His Constftu-
tionai Rights Have Been Violated.
N. III. Mclean was tried again yester-
day in the municipal court on the charge
of assault with deadly weapon on F.
Davis, the same charge on which he was
acquitted in Justice Caldwelfs court on
Saturday. He was again acquitted and
Davis was placed under arrest on n bench
warrant charging him with using language
intended 20 provoke an assault. His trial
was set for Wednesday, August 30.
McLean's case apparently leaves some
body liable, for IL presents an instance of
a man being placed on trial twice for the
same offense. a thing forbidden by the con-
stitution. The charge was originally made
in the municipal court and Judge Glasgow
passed upon his bonds for his appearance
yesterday. But on Saturday Parks,
who was arrested with MeLeau, took
. change of venue 10 caldwsll's court and
there Davis swore out another complaint
against Mclean. Davis had not signed
the complaint ia the municipal court, bat
this had been waived by the attorneys,
Davis having gone to Caldwell's court TO
look after Parks

objected TO having his client tried twice,
but the objection was overruled. Mclean
was asked about the matter last night and
while making no direct statement to that
effect, he talked as though he contem-
plated following the matter up.

Third street. The buggy struck against

directions, striking him on the back and
legs SO that the horse became perfectly
frantic.
Opposite the oakieaf saloon, near the
corner of Cherry street, ii darted in on
the sidewalk and ran over little girl
whose name could mot be learned. A
woman was with the child end stumbled
off the sidewalk into the street. but
neither was hurt. Al the corner of James
street the horse struck the guard rail OF a
James street car. the iron hand-hold run
ming clear into the flesh under the collar
bone, almost tearing off one of the front
legs and pulling off the skin 80 that II
hung down around bis legs.
Ii was evident that the animal could not
live, and those standing around urged Pa
trolman Peer to end its suffering with his
revolver. The officer waited some minutes
to hear from the owner, but nothing being
heard, he shot IL. There was such a pool
OF blood In the street that . hose wagon
had to be called out to wash it off, The
horse was one of those sleepy looking. lazy
fellows that never run away"
