The case of the State vs., Ernest Adj
amson, charged with statutory rape
and incest, was called In the district
court last Saturday, and the prosecut-
ing witness, the defendants sister, re.
fused to testify on the ground that the
material testimony In the case would
incriminate herself After spending
considerable time in attempting to get
the witness to testify, the county sttor-
ney fnally stated that the State had
based its case on the testimony of this
witness and asked that the case be dis
missed. The defense insisted that the
court instruct the jury to bring in YER
dict of not guilty, and a little janRle
brought over the question Of whether
was the defendant could be again tried
on the same offense, twas decided at
ter a jury had been impanneled and
the prisoner had plead, he could not be
again tried IL the case was dismissed.
SO the case was dismissed.

The Wild West Show.

There was little in the dawning Of
the day Monday to bring hope to the
devotee CT circus or its management,
For two days the heaYens had wept
as refusing to be comforted, and the
streets we're deep in mud. But about
the middle of the forenoon the clouds
cleft and the sun came out bright and
hot. Crowds came in on regular trains
and special trains. They poured In
with wagons and various conveyances.
When the performance commenced at
two O'Clock, the immense pavilion on
three sides OF the arena, which ap-
peared to be as much as 20Ox400 yards
in dimensions, were completely filled.
Certainly the Hon. Buffalo William
cannot complain of the patronage re-
ceived here.
And neither can the patrons COM
plain of the show. 1t is always COM
mon to hear some murmurlng at such
a place, and from those who are sure
to attend the same show when 1t comes
again. But there was remarkable
absence Of any sort Of complaint in
this. Tie performance opened by two
or three squads OF Indians in all the
paint and feathers Of their palmy days
twenty or thirty years ago, mounted
on their native ponies, and delivering
their erstwhile warwhoops. 1t sounds
more like the bowling Of coyotes than
anything by which we can describe it
Following these came squads of Amer
lean, English, German and Cuban cav
airy, Arabs, Cossacks, Mexicans and
South Americans. Col. Cody then ap-
peared in person and introduced the
Congress Of Rough Riders of the
World"
There was only one exhibition of
gymnastics aside from the horseman-
ship, and that was by the Arabs. 1t
is almost needless to say that 1t sur
passed anything Of the kind seen in
the ordinary circus. At one time one
man supported the weight of a dozen
men and boys.
The masterpiece of the show was
the application of "Custer's Last
Charge" 1t commenced with the In
dian war dance in the front of the
arena, After the Indians had re-
turned to their supposed tepes in the
rear, a lone scout appeared looking for
tracks and a tail. After straining his
eyes and making out the Indian camp
he returned and reappeared with two
others, one of whom represented Gus
ter. They withdrew and q troop Of
cavalry rushed in, charged the Indi-
ans who retreated, but seemed to mass
at the exit. Then the curtain parted
and showed the horses ard riders all
down with the Indians 9loating over

These a0ldavits were urged before the

seems to be proceeding about on the
old lines, except that the old lady,
Mrs. Willems, testified this time, and
though she has been in the court room
at all the trial, as we understand, said
she had not seen the men who robbed
them since the robbery.
