NO ONE TO BLAME.
Coroner Arbuckle Says There Was No Evi
 dence of Criminal Negligence.


 Cleveland, O., Dec. 9.-Coroner Arr buckle this morning rendered verdictin the viaduct disaster in which eighteen people were killed. He finds no one gull ty in the case. The points of his verdict were:
 Nowhere are we able to find that said deaths were due to an act on the part of any person or persons which in itselfg was a crime. fail to find sufficient evi- dence of an act committed or omittedl on the part of any person or persons to. warrant me in holding said person, or persons criminally liable for causing the death of any one or all of the persons aforesaid. I therefore find that the afore- said persons came to his or her death on, November 16. 1895, and that said persons came to their said deaths as a result of said accident, either from injuries sus- tained then and there. or from drowning in said river, and that said accident was not the result of a wanton reckless and willful disregard of duty on the part off any person or persons liable to criminal prosecution under the laws of Ohio."

SHOT AT A SCHOONER,
She Is Supposed to Be Loaded With FiIibus- ters-She Was Too Swift for the
 Cutter Forward.

Key West, Fla, Dec. 9.-The revenue cutter Forward returned from Cape Sa- ble today, where she had been sent by Collector Brown to watch the Cuban flibusters at that point. She reports that on Saturday steamer of about 500 tons, apparently yacht, came to anchor about twelve miles from the cape. The cutter got under way and steamed to- wards the stranger, and when within about three miles of her the latter hove up anchor and proceeded to sea, going about three miles to the cutters one Several shots were fired at her, but no att tention was paid to them.
 The cutter picked up ships yawl boat with four men-one American two Cubans and one negro. The American acted as spokesman, and said that they were bound to Key West from New York by way of Tampa, but as they were so near they had decided to take their boat for Key West. He claimed not to know the name of the steamer or Its destina- ton. Captain Roberts of the Forward released the men.
 It is thought by the officials here that the camp at Cape Sable has been broken up. For three months Collector Browne has been watching the movements of this party, and several times they have changed their camp only to be again located and closely watched, but not withstanding all the precautions to pre- vent the SalilnS or tniS expeultlOn tdheH by the customs officials, the Times-U ions correspondent is reliably informed that most of the men have left Cape Sable and were on the steamer sighted by the cutter Forward. The capture of the arms and ammunition and a return of part of the original party was part of a well laid plan to deceive the officials and call off the several cutters stationed in that vicinity. The many reports made by the returning members were calcu- lated to create the impression that the expedition had been abandoned. It Is re- @ported that the steamer had many men on board, and also a large amount or ammunition which had been picked up at several places along the coast. Enrique Collazo is said to be in command of the party. News of their safe landing is momentarily expected.

A Well-Known Tug Sold.

New Orleans, Dec. 9-The ocean tug Wooda1l, about which so much has been. said and written on account of her. ai- legged filibustering intentions, will leave here in few days for Baltimore with a. cargo of sugar and molasses. She has, been purchased by a sea captain living near Baltimore, who will use her in the fish business, for which purpose she, was originally designed. She cost to builda about $16,000, but it Is stated the present, owner bought her for about half that sum. It will be remembered that the, Woodall short time ago was said to be assisting the cause of the Cuban in- surgents by smuggling out of this coun- try contrabands of war and freightine. same to Cuba. It was never definitely proved that she was engaged in this bus mess, but it appeared then as an open secret that she was engaged in the inter- est of the revolutionists. During her stay in this part. and while under sur veillance by the Spanish consul as a sus- pect, she was owned by a New York syn- dicate, from whom the Baltimore sea captain purchased her

Sharon.

William A. Creighton was in Sharon
on Saturday. He says he has not sown
any wheat this fall and does not in
tend sowing any. The cause assigned
Is his failure to get a remunerative crop
the past two years. His corn is good
this year. He is fifty-six years of age
and does most of his work himself.
He is a good farmer.
Mrs. Wade was quite sick few days
last week but is much better. DR..
Davis attended her.
L. Dewitt was doing business in
Sharon on Friday.
Frank McMurtry and Albert Pelton
went to Medicine Lodge on Saturday.
On Saturday our trustee was admin
lstering the oath to the judges and
clerks who have been appointed to
serve at the approaching election.
James Crawford was in Sharon on
Saturday. He has not sown his wheat
yet. His corn crop Is splendid yielding
from 35 to so bushels to the acre. His
wheat and oats were not very good this
year He is prosperous farmer and
is candid and agreeable man to con-
verse with.
James O'Niel boards at the hotel and
passes most of his time in town. MAJ y
years ago he was afflicted with sore eyt
which resulted in total blindness. Not
withstanding this great misfortune he
is generally cheerful and appears as
happy as the average of people. He is
well respected by the people of this
valley tor his truthfulness and sterling
integrity.
James B. Neal and James Huffaker,
two old soldiers, were IN Sharon on Fri
day.
The soil is dry indeed. There would
have been more wheat sown if we had
had more rain this fall. Up to this
time the number Of acres sown In this
valley will not equal more than one
fourth the acreage that was sown last
year. The grasshoppers continue to
devastate much of the wheat as it ap-
pears above the ground, while on some
farms these pests are not so numerous
as to do damage.
On Sunday man named Loren
Slocum was travelling westward through
here soliciting aims. He was alone in
| a one horse vehicle. He stated tina,
his parents reside in South Dekota
He is about 26 years of age and says he
has been afflicted with white swelling
eight years. He seemed very thankful
| for small donations.
