a wife and a large family to
mourn his death. The family
have the heartfelt sympathy of
the entire community in this
their sad hour of bereavement.

Death of DR.. j. NJ. Leete.

Death OF DR.. j. M. Leete.
DR.. j. M. Leete, died at his resi-.
dence, in this city, on Saturday morn
Ing, April II.
Some few years ago, the Doctor
came from st. Louis, Mo, on account
Of his health, to try the benefit of the
climate Of Wisconsin. This city was
selected, among other reasons because
the Doctor had here many friends and
relatives mother being the sister
Mrs. Pulford (the mother Of Mrs.
Cobb, Mrs. Cothren and the late DR..
Pulford.) For years, DR.. Leete was
one of the leading physicians of ST..
Louis. During the war, he held a
high position in the army as Brigade
and then Corps Surgeon. Two COM
missions, which he justly priced, were
from Lincoln, and signed by the Pres
ident. Letters from Sheridan and
others recommending his promotion
for meritorious and brave conduct in
the discharge of his duties on the bat
tie field, show the place he won In the
army, and for which he was commits
stoned Lieutenant Colonel, by Pres
ident johnson. From the final settle
ment Of the war, DR.. Leete resided in
St. Louis, until he came to this city for
his health. Here, he was paying the
penalty of his army experiences and
exposures; but the brave nature that
never failed him on the battle field,
carried him through days of suffering
that long since would have over; come a
weaker spirit. The Doctor was a man
OF extensive travel and reading, and his
manner, dress, and conversation, in
dicated the highly cultured gentleman.
A widow and two daughters survive
him and mourn his loss.
The remains were taken to st. Louis,
Mo-, for interment A short service
was held at the house by the Rector
Of Trinity Episcopal Church Of this
city. The members of the Grand
army acted as an escort and rs pail
bearers to the train. The dear old
flag, which stands for so much history,
and heroism, and blessing and glory,
was most properly and rightly, thrown
over the casked, AMI proclaimed that
it covered the body of dead soldier.

COURT ADJOURNED.
Verdict Against Mrs. Stone and Her
Son Set Aside,
On Account of Indiscreet Talking Among
Two Jurors, Who Are Held to An
swer for Contempt of Court.

Circuit Court adjourned last Satur-
day, after quite a busy session of
four weeks. There were about 70
true bills found by this court, and a
large number or trangressors were
either sent to the county work house
or given berths in the state peniten-
tiary.
We announced last week that in
the case Of the state against Mrs.
Mary Stone and her son Walker, the
Jury had returned verdict Of guilty
and given them ten months in the
work house, and that through their
attorneys, Messrs. Figures and Pad
gett, the defendants had entered a
motion for new trial. This action
was based upon the misconduct of
two jurors-Messrs. ]. d. Workman
and VIM. Reeves. The court granted
the new trial and ordered that the
two Jurors be attached and held to
answer for contempt of court at the
first day of the next term. The
charges against the offending jurors
is that they gave testimony against
the prisoners that did not come
through the proper channel, the
court. The other case against Mrs.
Stone and her son, for larceny, was
continued until the next term OF
court.
Purp HARRISON (colored) was sent
20 the wOrk-house for 10 months and
Jim Harris (colored) to the peniten-
tiary for years, for larceny and
house breaking. These offenders
broke into Mr.. Sam Nichols store
at Carriers Creek sometime during
the past winter, and appropriated
the contents of the cash drawer to
their own use.
jeff Hood was given months in
the work-house and charged up with
the cost in the case, the charge
against him being larceny of a
watch some time ago.
The case of State VS.. r. r. Smith,
for libel, was nOlle pressed, This
is the case in which Mr.. w. E. Bos-
tick, principal Of the Columbia Pub
lie School, was prosecutor, and has
attracted great deal Of attention
for sometime. Mr.. Smith retracted
what he had said about Mr.. BOstick,
and Mr.. Bostick allowed the case to
be dropped.

The operator at the Central office of
the Citizens Telephone Company re-

however, and-it is said by persons
who timed them-were throwing
water on the fire in minutes from
the time the bell first tapped. The
house was almost entirely destroyed,
and large part of the furniture was
lost. The house belonged to Mrs.
Fannie Armstrong of Nashville, and

was insured for 800 in the Imperial,
