John Scibert Convicted and Sentenced
to Jail.
John Scibert, indicted for assault
with a dangerous weapon upon
John Mason, had his trial before
Judge Lowell in the circuit court
last Saturday. The evidence tend
ed to show that late in June, Sci

torn down a fence and a sign of
"Wood for Sale," belonging to him,
and determined to have revenge
for the fancied wrong, He secured
shotgun and fred at Mason as he
was returning to his home near
Weston, but fortunately missed his
mark, He then picked up a rife
and pursued Mason for several
miles, but was unable to overtake
him, The case was given to the
jury about 5 o'clock, and at 9;15
verdic. of guilty was returned, The
defendant was recommended to the
mercy of the court, and, waving
time for sentence was given one
month in the county Jail.
w. M. Pierce was the attorney for
Scibert. Mr.. Lawrey represented

Punishment Melted Out to Edward

Punishment Melted Out to Edward
Downs, a Forger.
Edward Downs, a barber in the
employ of Charles Fuqua, was ar
rested by Sheriff Houser on Sun
day night within a few minutes
after he had passed a forged check
for 500 at the Hotel Pendleton,
says the Tribune. The check was
accepted by night clerk Hayes, who
advanced Downs $5 on it. The
clerk had no doubt as to the genu-
ineness OF the paper, or if he had,
it was dispelled by the eight of a
customers draft on the First Nat
ional bank for $3465 which Downs
showed him. The draft bore what
purported to be the signature of
Sam P, Sturgis, cashier of the
bank.
Sheriff Houser was sitting in the
lobby of the hotel, and when Downs
took his departure asked to be
shown the check. He failed to see
any resemblance between the alleg-
ed signature of Mr., Sturgis on the
paper and the signature of that
gentleman on other documents.
This aroused his suspicion, and he
inquired of the bank officials
whether Downs had an account
with the bank as he asserted. Re-
ceiving a negative reply, he return
ed to the hotel and arrested the
forger. On the way to the county
jail Downs broke away, and led the
sheriff and Deputy Sheriff Carney
merry chase up Water street to
Thompson, down to Court, back
toward Water, where he was head
ed off by Mr.. Carney, and down to-
words Alta, Deputy Carney fired
three shots in the ground, and the
reports of the revolver had the eff.
feet OF bringing the prisoner to a
halt. He was then taken to the
Jail.
When searched, the draft for
$3465, and several forged checks,
one for $40 and one for $5, at Chas,
Beale's confectionery store.
Downs was arranged before Jus.
tice Parkes Monday, and was re-
manded to the grand jury.
Downs was indicted by the grand
jury, arranged before Judge Lowell,
and, pleading guilty, was sentenc-
ed to two years in the penitentiary.
All this happened within 20 hours
after his arrest.

BODY OF AN INFANT.

Found in Bank of Earth in East PEN
dIeton.
A Pendleton paper tells of the
finding by workmen, of a box con-
tanning the skeleton of baby in
an out-of-the-way place in east
Pendleton. 1t was found in q bank
25 or 80 feet from the railway
crossing on the north side and 200
yards west Of the city pump sta
tion. The box was 16 inches be-
meath the surface. 1t was about
the size of maccaroni box, 18
inches long 8 inches wide and about
FIVE inches deep, The body was
wasted away and only the skeleton
was left, covered with the garments
W hich had been placed about it
before the mother or father or some
one else, consigned it to its lonely
resting place apart from those who
inhabit the city of the dead. The
clothing appeared to be we'll pre-
served, but when handled it crum-
bled and fell to pieces.
Coroner George Kimery took the
body in charge and gave it burial
in the cemetery. Mr., Jacques, who
is one of the contractors, had had
the ground broken and the teams
in passing over it had effaced ary
marks which might have been left
by those who buried it in this de-
serted place. Mr.. Kimery thought
the body had been there for three
years or more, although the box
did not appear to have been long
under ground, as the wood was not
| in the least rotted.
