LOOK OUT NO MORE.

For some time it has been thought
that the Look Out" so we'll known
on Observatory Knob" was un-
safe and an effort was being made by
Chas. S. Hastings to bestir the lovers
of this spot to make strong once
more this structure. Delays are
dangerous and Monday morning it
was discovered that all had been
laid low by the heavy wind.
A word in regard to the construc-
tion of this Knob" may be interest
ing TO manv. 1t was easily seen by
Chas. S. Hastings, one of our enter
prising citizens, that if some kind of a
Knob, the high elevation just out of
the village, a much better view could
be obtained of the surrounding
country. In 1887 lumber was
procured and placed into position
making a building of the following
dimensions: Base 20 feet square; !;
upright 20 feet long; platform IL
feet square, standing Is feet from
the ground easily reached by ladder
stairs. At the top was erected a
covering for protection from rain.
This was built at a cost of about
$50, nearly one-half being raised by
donations from the people and the
rest being paid out by Mr.. Hastings.
1t proved all that was expected and
has been the means of giving added
pleasure to many a lover OF grand
scenery. 1t is earnestly hoped that
another structure will be built early
next spring.

VERDICT IN THE MURDER CASE.

The jury returned a verdict in the
Miles murder case, at Newport on
Thursday last, finding Arthur 6.
Cram guilty of manslaughter and
James Bowe not guilty. Bowe was
discharged and Judge Tyler sentenced
Cram to hard labor In states prison
during his life. The trial has occu--
pied twelve days aud strong and ex-
haustive arguments were made by
counsel. States Attorney Miles
opened for the state, being followed
by H. F. Graham for Cram. 7. w.
Redmond for defence. H. c. Bates
tor Bowe and John Young closed for
the state. Judge Tyler gave clear
impartial charge and the jury was
out eighteen and one-half hours. Un-
der the indictment for murder, the
judge ruled that the verdict must be
guilty or not guilty and the evidence
was not sufficient to convict Bowe.
Cram received his sentence without
much visible emotion, expressing
through counsel his belief that a SEN
tence even for the shortest legal term,
seven years, would doubtless prove
a life sentence, owing to his age. he
being II years old. Exceptions will
be filed and attempt made to secure
a new trial.
