A. o. U. w. Entertainment.

The entertainment given by the A.
o. u. w. and Degree of Honor in this
city last night, was success III every
respect. The A. o. U. w. "Shake EN-
Up" quartette, of Albany, consisting
Of D. V. Polling, NJ, s. Ackers, S. n.
Steel and A. NJ. Lundell, rendered
some choice music. This certainly is
the finest quartette that has ever
visited Lebanon.
The orchestra, consisting of w. W..
Crawford, Geo. Mcknight and wife
and Frank Mcknight, entertained
the people with some splendid music.
1t is seldom the people of Lebanon
have the pleasure of listening to such
music, either vocal or instrumental.
Grand Instructor, D. G. Herren,
made an able address, which we be-
lieye added many new members to
the A. 0. U. w. lodge at this place
At the conclusion of the entertain.
ment at the Band hall, the members
of the two lodges went to their hall,
where banquet was ser'ed in honor
of the grand instructor and visiting
brethren. A good time was had and
the best of feeling prevailed.

Last Tuesday night as Mr.. D.
Andrews was going home from his
store, his affection was attracted by a
noise in the alley. Looking around,
he was surprised to see man stand
ing near him with big club in his
hands. Mr.. Andrews turned his
lantern on the man and demanded
what he wanted, at which time the
man dropped the club and ran. Mr..
Andrews thinks it wrs all attempt to
hold him up, but the lantern illustrated
the man. This was the first time that
Mr.. Andrews had carried a light with
him. Twice before wire had been
been stretched across the walk at this
point, as it is very dark there. Other
attempts have heen made lately to
hold people up. Our citizens should
be on their guard.

The s,ockman Case.

The supreme court Monday handed
down Its decision in the case Of the
state against John r. Stockman, who
was convicted upon trial In Marion
county, Of violating section 4, Of the
act Of 1885, commonly known as the
warehouse act, by shipping wheat
stored in a warehouse, of which he
was manager, without the written con-
sent Of the holder Of the receipt there
for. The evidence showed that at the
time of the commission Of the alleged
crime, the defendant was manager of
the Red Crown Roller Mills, of
Albany, a corporation engaged in the
business Of manufacturing flour and
other products for sale. A part of the
mill building was used for the storage
of wheat belonging to the company,
and such as it might receive from the
neighboring farmers. The wheat so
stored was all mixed in one mass, from
which the company drew from day to
day for its own use. In September,
1894, e. d. Barrett delivered to the
company 2l9s.25 bushels Of wheat,
taking receipt therefor. The wheat
was mixed with other wheat, manu-
factured into -four and sold by the
company for its own use and benefit.
The company failed, and, in March,
1896, Barrett demanded the market
value Of the wheat, which, being re-
fused, he rendered the storage and de-
manded the return of the VIII at.
In order to sustain acriminal charge,
the supreme court says it was incum-
bent upon the state to prove that the
grain was placed in warehouse and,
in addition thereto, to prove that it
was placed there on storage. From
the evidence, the higher court finds
the mill company did not receive
grain for storage or safekeeping, but,
as was known by Barrett, received the
wheat, manufactured it into -four and
sold the -four. Its obligations to de-
positors were satisfied by paying the
market price or returning wheat of
like quality or quantity. There was
an implied contract, says the court,
that the wheat deposited by Barrett
should be 30 disposed of, and that the
state law in question is plainly intend
ed to apply to warehousemen only,
and its principal object is to make
warehouse receipts negotiable, secur-
ing the depositor by making the bailee
liable to criminal prosecution.
1t Is therefore held that the case
should have been submitted to the jury
with direction that they could not
conyict unless satisfied from the
evidence that the place where the
grain was deposited was in fact a
warehouse for the storage of grain, and
that the grain in question was receiv-
ed on storage and not on agreement,
express or implied, that the mill
company might use it in the course of
its business. For the reason these
questions were not so submitted, the
case Is reversed and a new trial
ordered.
