A JUROR LOCKED UP.
Blamed Oh the Fact That JanitOr
Scott of the Court House Will
Eat Crow

Day janitor Scott, the sleuth of the
Court House, has special jury OF twelve
white rats. but one of the members o
the Jury in the Stewart-Norton case yes
terday caused him more trouble than the
whole twelve snow white jurors OF his
own.
The Jurors name was Mr.. Francis and
he went to the jury-room for some cause
and when he attempted to again join the
remaining Jurors found the door locked.
He called upon janitor Scott to unlock
the door and let him get in.
Mr.. Scott tried to do 80 but failed. lie
tried every key except whiskey and
turnkey, but the door still remained
fast. After Mr.. Scott had held consul
tation with several other Court House
officials it was decided to permit the
Juror to 90 through another room and
enter the Jury chamber by different
door. Mr.. Scott later found the missing
key.
The clerks in the Clerk of the Peace,
office intir late that Mr.. Scott was rat
tied because he had to eat crow as the
result of an election bet with John Camp
bell, Court House fireman.
II seemed that Mr.. Scott made a wager
with Mr.. Campbell on the result OF the
recent election. Mr.. Campbell was to
cat crow cooked by Mr.. Scott if the
county went Democratic, and Mr.. Scott
was to do like wise should the county go
Republican.
1t went Republican as Mr.. Scott can
inform you and to-day crow will be
nicely roasted by Fireman Campbell
and eaten by Janitor Scott in the pres
ence of his jury of white rats and others.

NEGRO IN A CELLAR.
A Former Employe Of Henry X. Dure
Causes Excitement in a Quiet
- Neighb0rhOOd.

NeighborhOod.
Yesterday morning at l.30 O'Clock a
negro named Carter was found in hiding
in the cellar OF the residence of Henry
K. Dure. No. 800 West street.
Mr.. Dure was not at home, but the
women of the house heard the intruder
and soon aroused the neighbors. In a
short time excitement reigned supreme.
DR.. Pyle ran out of his house in his
night robe and armed with q revolver.
A crowd soon collected around the house.
The police department was informed OF
the situation and Sergeant "Dan" Kel-
leher accompanied by Officer Solomon
responded and were quickly on the
scene.
The two officers on being told that the
noise had been heard in the cellar i'll
stiiuted a search and found colored
man crouched up in closet.
They brought him to the surface of the
earth and he was discovered to be a
former employe around the house, and
Mrs. Dure would not have him arrested.
The neighbors demurred at this and
wanted Mrs. Dure to prefer charges
dSdiIlbU tllC ludtI, UuU UiIlS SllC VCIuSCu w
do. The residents went to their beds
grumbling over the affair.
1t was found on investigation that
Carter had entered the cellar by one Of
the windows in which glasses in the
sash were broken.
He mad reached his hand through the
opening and unfastened the sash. In
getting in, however, he knocked one of
the iron CRATE bars to the floor which
made great racket and alarmed the in
mates of the house.
Carter told the police that he went
into the cellar to Sleep This is not given
any credence from the fact that the man
never slept in the house while employed
by Mr.. Dure. M ..r
1t IS thought by many that the negro's
motive was robbery or maybe worse. He
may have meant to murder some of the
family out OF revenge, for only day or
two ago he had a quarrel with Mr..
Dure's son, which resulted in Carter
loosing his position.
The neighbors and police lean toward
the latter theory and are loud in their
condemnation Of allowing Carter to 60 at
large, for they allege the community is
not safe while such man is at liberty to
enter peoples houses at the dead hour of
night, with impunity. i

ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING.
Thanksgiving Day was first established
in the United States by the Pilgrims at
Plymouth in 1921 1t became recog.
nized holiday in New England, replac:-
ing Christmas as the great family festl-
val, and has been gradually adopted In
all parts OF this country.
# Congress recommended days OF thanks
giving annually during the Revolution
and Washington in 1888, after the adnp-
ton of the constitution. Since 1868 the
last Thursday in November has been an
nualy proclaimed by the Presidents as
national Thanksgiving Day.
