Owing to i'll health, Judge Buck was
compelled to adjourn court from Fri
day until Tuesday. This necessitated
the continuance for the term OF all un-
tried criminal cases, viz: .Judson Bal
ley, w III DdIucS anu ASA w DcuoOu,
violation of local option law, and Chris
tina Popendick, exposing poison. As
none of these respondents were in Jail,
they were willing to have their cases
continued.
The two boys, Harris and Bearup,
alias Shirley and Husselman, were con-
victed, on Friday last, of participation

remain until they reach the age of
seventeen years.

At the time of the arrest of the four
parties for entering the residence of
George Chamberlain last 4th of July,
at Hartford, we observed that they
had probably all given fictitious names.
This observation was verified on their
trial. Their fictitious and real names
were as follows: Peter johnson is
Charles Thorne, Otto Ellsworth is Otto
BrOde, Gaylord Shirley is James Harris,
Bert Hussleman is George Bearup.
They were all from the vicinity of Elk
hart, IND.
OF course all business men will dec
crate their places of business for the
Harvest Festival. In addition to this,
the streets and town generally should
be appropriately decorated with ever

tribute to the finances of the occasion,
take this upon themselves as their es-
pecial part in the great celebration.

Judge Buck was very brief in his SEN
tence of Thorne and Brode, alias John
son and Ellsworth. Evidently he did
not think they were fit subjects for a
moral lecture. He simply told them
to stand up and asked il they had any
thing to say why sentence should not
be passed upon them, TO which each
replied in the negative and asked the
mercy of the court. Continuing, the
Judge said: 1.-The court knows nothing
of your previous history, except what
was developed on your trial. Judging
from that the extreme penalty that the
court can impose is none too severe.
The judgment of the court is that you
each be taken hence to the state prison
at jackson, there to be confined at hard
labor for period of five years from and
including this day. Mr.. Sheriff. remand
the prisoners" Neither of them be-
trayed the least sign of emotion when
the sentence was pronounced, and
Brode suggested to the court that the
authorities had deprived him of 81. so
