INDICTED IN KENTUCKY.

Murdersrs jackson and WaIIinE Indicted
Totny-CrOwds ThrODg to See Them.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 13-The grand jury
of Campbell county, KY, sitting in
Newport this morning reported to Judge
Perkins, indictments against Scott Jack
son and Alonzo NJ. Walliug, for the will
full murder of Pearl Bryan.
William F. Wood, whose case is also
set for today and who was out on bond
did not appear when his name was called
and his bond was promptly forfeited.
Subsequently he came in and
his case was continued until the
25th and he was locked up until a new
bond can be given.
Both Jackson and Walling were repre-
sented by attorneys. The charges pre-
ferred against the prisoners were muir
der and fugitives from justice.
Whom the patrol wagon drove to the
Jail door on Sycamore street this morn
ing to take Jackson and Walling TO
the police court, there was a curious
crowd on the sidewalk to catch such
glimpse of the prisoners as could be had
as they mounted the stairway from the
iail door to the sidewalk and crossed the
walk to the wagon. Both were hand
cuffed but they entered into no conver-
sation as they met for the first time for
several days.
They were driven quickly to the city
hall and were placed in cell until they
should be called for their hearings.
Meanwhile a most unusual scene was
Witnessed in and about the court room.
There was a wild struggle for admission
into the little temple of police justice
and all the Railways adjacent were
iammed with men and women who were
unable to even look into the doorway OF
the court room. An extra detail of off
GERS was necessary to keep the crowd
from degenerating into a mob.
1t was long time before the prisoners
wore brought up for examin alton and the
process was very brief. They both waiv
ed examination and were ordered to
be committed to Jail without
bond on the charge of being
fugitives from justice and the case was
continued until February 1S.
While the commitments were being
prepared the men were returned to
their cells.
Sheriff Plummer of Newport will at
once apply to the governor for requisi-
tion for the prisoners.

NIAGARA FALLS DRY.
The IceBridEeStODs the Flow OF Water
Over American Side.


NIAGARA FALLS. n. Y, Feb. 10
For the first time in half a cen
tury the American falls practically
ran dry today. By the formation OF
an ics bridge or dam extending from
Schlossers dock on the American bank
about half way across the river the water
was almost entirely diverted to the Ca
madam falls.
1t is possible for a man with plank to
walk from the main land to Goat island
without wetting his feet, and indeed, to
walk between all the islands inside of
Goat island.
The water is so low that a man in knee
boots could walk across the brink of the
falls from Prospect Point to Goat island.

w. w. Likens Still Unreformed.

A dispatch from Tacoma, Wash
ington, on Oct. 9th, indicates that
Capt. w. w. Likens who left this
city under a cloud some 20years ago,
has not changed his habit and dis
position to go wrong with his changes
of habitation. The dispatch says:
Col. w. w. Likens, prominent
lawyer of this city, who came here
eight years ago, 1nysteriously dis
appeared Tuesday, leaving a note in
his office saying that he had gone to
Seattle. He also left bill of sale of
his Office furniture to O friend who
had gone on his bond to the State
Insurance company of Oregon. Lii
kens recently received, 1t Is said,
several thousand dollars from the
insurance company to satisfy a judg-
ment recently rendered against them
in this county, and the insurance
company and other creditors have
been demanding settlement, while
Likens has been asking for Gime.
Between 1871 and 1876 Likens was a
well-known lawyer in Mineral Point,
Wis, being associate with ex-Con-
gresham Amasa Cobb.
When he first came to Tacoma he
made from $4,000 to $4,000 year,
all OF which went into disastrous
real estate speculations. He was a
member of the Grand Army, though
not prominent in the organization.
He enlisted as private in the Sew
enth Wisconsin volunteers and be-
fore he was l8years of age was senior
captain of the company. He was
always prominent in political gather
ings in this county and state, and
this year was an adviser of the silver
fusion. He was disappointed in not
receiving the nomination for attor-

Arrangements have been made for
game with the Warren Academy
in this city next Monday afternoon.
THE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS
played a game on the morning of the
same day, in which they put it to the
corresponding team of Dodgeville to
the tune of 26 to O. In the first half
our boys easily succeeded in making
a touchdown and kicking the goal,
while the best their opponents could
do was get the pigskin within few
yards of the goal that the M. p. boys
defended, only to have it rushed back
to the center of the field, where it lay
at the end of the first half. The rest
of the game was quite hotly contest
ed, but Dodgeville was "easy" and
our boys placed the ball four times
behind the goal line of their oppon-
ents, once within minutes after the
kickoff. They failed twice at kick
ing gaol, leaving the final score as
quoted above. The boys put up an
excellent game and it can be heard,

A friendly and well contested game
Of football between the senior teams
Of Darlington and Mineral Point
was played in this city last Saturday
afternoon. Game commenced with
the visitors making the kickoff, and
in the short time Of five minutes
Walter Hoare was around the end
for run of about twenty-five and q
touchdown, but the goal kick was
missed. The remainder of the first
half was pretty struggle, without
any more points being made by
either side. In opening the second
half Of the game, the home team made
the kickoff, and got possession Of the
ball at once on tumble, and in less
than four minutes Walter Hoare was
again over the line with it by the aid
Of good interference, but to kick
goal from the required position was
next to impossible. From this on
Darlington displayed extra grit and
determination to make some points,
and succeeded by McConnel's grand
rush through tackle and end and on
for at least twenty-five yards and a
touchdown, which was followed by
an unsuccessful goal kick. No more
points were made by either side be-
fore the shout Of "time up was
heard, when the score stood 8 to in
favoe Of Mineral Point.

had never lined up together before,

sicipated in by some, and that they
