The high school class of '97 is composed
of bright lads and lassies who generally
succeed in their undertakings. The officers
of the class are Thos. Tubbs, president;
Mae Butterfield, vice president, and Clara
Woodland, secretary.
Tuesday evening the Juniors gave re-
ception to the seniors at the home of Mamie
Todd, Mulberry and Oliver streets 1t was
intended to have lawn fete and two loco
motive headlights were stationed on the
lawn and numerous Japanese lanterns
adorned the veranda where the Ruby Banjo
Club was to have been stationed. But these
plans did ''gang aglee" because of the rain
However, the evening was spent none the
less pleasantly in Mr.. Todd's commodious
residence, of which the young folks took
entire possession and left no nook undecor-
ated with ferns, roses and carnations. The
high school teachers and board of education
who were invited enjoyed themselves i'm
mensely.
The reception committee consisting of
Agnes Hearst, Mamie Todd, Anna Thomas,
Clara Woodland, Laurence Gould and Ed.
Hunt, received the guests with ease and
cordially. While the guests were being
served with pineapple sherbet and cakes by
young ladies from the lower grades, the
Ruby Banjo Club stationed in the hall dis
coursed lively quicksteps and waltzes. After
all had been served, and some of the older
folks had disappeared, the club adjourned to
the parlor and the young people trlpped the
light fantastic toe until the clock struck
twelve. A handsomer group of young gen.
tlemen and ladies would be hard to find and
0wosso has every reason to feel proud OF
the classes of '96 and '97.
The indications are that the members OF
the class of '97 are destined to strike twelve
every time they entertain their friends.

WHY THREE STOOD OUT.
George H. Sanders Tells About
the Jury in the Case Against
Leon R. Meyers.
Previous Good Reputation of the De.
fendant and Contradictory Testi.
mony Caused a Disagreement.

George H. Sanders of the architect firm
of Wright & Sanders was one of the Jurors
in the case of the People against Leon R.
Meyers, charged with an infamous crime.
Mr. Sanders was asked last night to state
why the jury disagreed.
He said he would not admit whether he
was with the minority or the majority,
but that the three jurors who stood out
for acquittal were influenced in their judg-
ment by the fact that the girls who testi-
fed for the prosecution had made contra
dictory statements, and by the further
fact that Meyers had always borne a good
reputation before this affair occurred.
These two facts, taken together, caused the
three Jurors to discredit the testimony
and to give the defendant the benefit of
the doubt, as they were bound to do under
their oaths.
The jury stood at first five for acqu ittal
and seven for conviction. Then compro-
mise verdict was agreed upon by the seven
and by two of the five, leaving the Jury
three for acquittal and two for conviction.
With reference to the statement that
Mr. Sanders had been employed by Meyers
for many years to draw designs for marble
work, Mr.. Sanders said that he never
worked for Meyers and never drew any
designs for him. The only business rela-
tions, if such they could be called, that
had ever existed between them consisted
in the firm of Wright IL Sanders having
drawn the plans for and superintended
work done under contract by Meyers for
other parties, who had engaged Wright &
Sanders to draw the plans.
Il made that statement in court" con-
tinued Mr. Sanders, because | wanted to
be excused for serving on the jury. The
District Attorney would have challenged
me only for the fact that he had exhausted
all his peremptory challenges. | told the
Judge / did not think / was proper man
to be placed on the jury, but the Judge
took me in hand and said, When you
weigh the evidence can you under your
