Could Not Agree.

Yesterday morning the jury In the
MARS caee was empanelled and was
sent to the jury room. In hopes that some
Kind OF an agreement might be reached.
AFTER waiting there for little while the
judge sent for them. and asked what the
prospects of an agreement were, and
was told that there was none. So he in
structed the Sheriff to discharge the
jury from further consideration of the
case. He then asked Colonel Stewart
who 1t was that he complained of as
having acted disorderly on the street
and what the nature OF the conduct was.
Colonel Stewart replied that he COM
planned of one of the jurors being drunk
and staggering on the street. The judge
ordered the clerk to enter u fine OF $40
against him. and for the Sheriff to hold
him until the fine was paid The Juror
said that the cause of his staggering
was that when he got off car on Tues
day night he hurt his leg, and that made
MIN stasger. and that he was not drunk,
SO he ordered that he be allowed to go
nome and present himself ut the court
to-day at IL a. m. He also Instructed
the Sheriff to summon certain witnesses
whom the attorney claimed would prove
his assertion.
This matter being settled, INQUIRIES
were made by the scribe to know how
the jury stood. From them 1t was learn
ed mat there were ten for acQuittal, one
Tor imposing fine of $40 and costs. and
another for a fine Of $500 and one year
in jail.

A few nights ago some one went to
the residence of Mr.. Sawyer. in Scots
vile, and carried off all the chickens
he had. Among the lot was a number
OF valuable ones. Mr.. Sawyer on going
out in the morning was surprised to
learn that he had lost them all. The
next night whoever took them must
have become conscience -stricken, and
returned them. The second morning
after they were taken Mr.. Sawyer heard
a noise In his coop, went there and to his
establishment found all his chickens In
their accustomed plactIs. He lthirlks
