The trial OF Austin Brown, charg-
ed with the murder of Anderson
Harris, the eX-police officer, can be
put down as a record-breaker, in
solar as the time consumed in dis
posing of the case from the date of
the murder is concerned. The MUIR
der was committed on the night
of February 6. Brown was
indicted the following day,
his trial was set last Saturday
for Wednesday, and yester-
day afternoon the jury brought in
the following verdict:
ave, the jury, find the defend
ant guilty of murder in the first
degree as charged in the indict-
ment and assess the death penalty.
THOMAS F. KERR, Foreman"
The most important witness of
the trial was Alois Vidal, the Next
can, whom Brown accused of hav-
ing shot Harris. Vidal stated that
that he knew Brown about two
years, but didn't know his name
until the night of the killing. He
saia that Brown asked him
to engage hack with
which to take several women out,
and that Brown didn't want to en-
gage the hack, as he was a married
man. Brown pointed out Harris to
Vidal, as the latter testified, and
said that Harris would say nothing
about hauling women.
Vidal continued: "BrOwn paid
me $3.50, and l paid Harris so cents
Of that. Brown said to me that he
would pay the balance when he re-
turned. Brown was waiting, and |
went and told him about hiring
Harris. Brown told me to hire a
hack for 9 o'clock, and meet me at
Mill bridge at 9 O'Clock. |

Brown soon caught up with me.

COURT NOTES.
Hon. Emilio r. Leal made a deep
impression on all those who heard
his speech to the jury in the
Brown murder trial yesterday af-
ternoOn. Several attorneys re-
quested that it be put in print, but
owing to lack of valuable space
the speech had to be omitted.
The county clerk has issued
licenses to wed to John Harris and
Envy f. Roemer and to William
Chapman and Annie Brown.
1t is expected that the attorneys
for Brown will give notice of APP
peal, to have the judgment of the
District court affirm I'd.
The commissioners court, now in
session, is doing very little OF inter
est for publication,
Business around the Justices
courts was of quiet nature today.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

The murder of X-pOliceman
Harris is curse growing out of
vice and ignorance. The murderers,
Brown and Vidal, represent the
very lowest STRATA of our pOpula-
ton, both were ignorant of the law.
Brown thought if he got Vidal to
kill Harris, it would not be his
crime; Vidal thought if he did it
for Brown it would not be his
crime.
Crime is not confined to the ig-
norant, but ignorant is the hot
bed of brutality. Public education
is not only the duty of the state,
but the shield of society. Our
public schools should be open to
every child in the community.
Today there are one thousand
children asking admission to the
public schools that can not gain
admittance. The city school fund
has been squandered by past city
administrations, and it is now pro-
posed to add tax of 10 cents on
the 500 assessed property to make
good this school fund.
There are enough taxpayers rep
resented by children in our public
schools, to secure the adoption Of
this proposition. The OvercrOwded
condition of our schools should be
relieved as soon as possible.
A list of taxpayers will be at
each poll, and every eligible voter
can spare the little time and trUu-
bic necessary to cast vote for the
free schools.
The election takes place on the
2Sth of this month.

EIoped With His Wife's Sister.

Peter Benson, of Weatherly, and his
sister-inlaw, Mrs. John Christy, eloped
on Thursday night. Mr.. Christy was
awakened from his slumbers early Fri
day morning by the crying of the baby
in his wife's room. He went over to
the room and found the baby alone.
He then called his son and they search
ed the house and barn, but could not
find Mrs. Christy. They then thought
that she might have gone to Weatherly
to see her sister, Mrs. Benson.
Mr. Christy and his son drove to
Weatherly and found Mrs. Benson in
tears. She said that her husband had
not been home during the night. The
station agent remembered having sold
two tickets to Buffalo to man and wo-
man answering the couples description,
and that they had left on the 40 a. m.
train. kilograms were sent to different
points to arrest them, 1t is supposed
that they went to Canada. Mrs. Benson
is the mother of five children.

Electric Light Engine Broken.

The Freeland Electric Light Company
is very unfortunate in the commence
ment of its career, and another accident
to its machinery left the town in dark
ness last night. The engine has been
working irregular for few nights past,
and on Saturday evening it broke down
about o'clock. 1t was repaired partial
ly in few hours and the arc lights were
set going, and all day yesterday machin,
lists worked at it until the trouble was
located. However, it was found neces-
sary to take the engine to Drifton shops,
where it is now. The company feels
certain the repairs will be completed in
time to start up again tonight.
Another engine and a dynamo have
been ordered and are now ready for
shipment, They are expected here with
in ten days, and the power house is be-
ing enlarged to accommodate the new
machinery. When these are placed in
position the company will be prepared
to give the people of town continuous
light.
