COURT NOTES.
Matters That Occupy the Attention
of the Judges and the

Lawyers.
Adam Tressler has commenced an
action against Susan L. Shearer ct al
for the partition of property in this
county.
The peace proceeding case of Theresa
Teeters VS.. Richard Teeters, in Probate
criminal court Tuesday, was concluded
during the afternoon and Judge Wise
placed the defendant under bond of $3.50
for one year to keep the peace.
A demurrer to the petition for partition
in the case of Shorb VS.. Shorb was sus.
tained by Judge Taylor on the ground
that the executrix had full power under
the will to sell the land.
Criminal court convened Tuesday
morning in room 3, with Probate Judge
Wise presiding When the jury was
called it was found that at least three of
them had seen nt to ignore the notice to
be present at $3.50 this morning. They
were jurors from Alliance. The question
arose as to whether additional jurors
should be chosen from bystanders for the
first case to be heard, and it was decided
that it should be tried to the court with
out jury. Those jurors present were
therefore excused until Wednesday morn
ing.
Mrs. Ann Mullins, of North Lawrence,
charged with assault, was given an oppor-
tunity to enter a plea of guilty, which
she did. She was fined $40 and costs,
amounting in all to about s17.
The first case was that of Ohio VS..
Cornelius j. Buehl. He is charged with
stealing hose to bicycle pump last
Septe NJ Der, from the Canton Stool Man
ufacturing Co. He was defended by At
torney G. Upham. The stolen property
was produced in court by Mr.. Uphsm
somewhat to the surprise of Prosecuting
Attorney PomereDe. The defense was
that some one other than Buehl stole the
article.
At the conclusion of the testimony in
the case Buehl was acquitted of the theft,
ONlOAo iaNlLB bSoblhCu w bohlhB OhO A4S-Ns
Prosecutor Pomerene stated that he would
file charges against those persons.
The peace proceedings case of Theresa
Tseters VS.. Richard Teeters was on trial
this afternoon. The plaintiff, the wife,
claims to fear her life at the hands of her
husband.
Nollies were entered in the cases of G.
Rolli, assault and battery. These were
two old cases coming up from ex-Prose
cutor Bows term, and they were nollied
at his suggestion.
The following cases were dismissed for
failure to secure costs: H. A. Francis,
innkseper; l. Noll, assault
and battery; A. Dangeleisen, unlawful
arrest; Nicholas Weygandt, assault and
battery. AS a result of failure to prose-
cute these cases were dismissed: j. A.
Rice, S, H, and II. X. Rockhill, resisting
an officer; Arthur Davis, petit larceny
John Eisert, failure to provide. The cases
against George Cole and Leonard Stevens
were continued. This is done because
there is felony charge resting against
one of the parties.

STILL ACTIVE.
Two Important Arrests BY
us. Officers.
HENDERSON AND ECKHARDT
Are Placed In the Hands of the Omcers on
Charge of Being Implicated In
Postofice Burglaries Cap
tured in Cleveland.

POstOhice BurRlaries-Chp-
tured in Cleveland.
United States Deputy Marshal Keeley,
Of Cleveland, was in Canton Monday and
last evening made an arrest that is con-
sidered important in connection with
other arrests Of similar nature. On
affidavit of Pestoflce Inspector Alonzo
p. Owen before United States Commits
sioner Folger In Massillon, Ed. Hender'
son, of canton, was arrested and placed
behind the bars Of the county jail. He is
charged with robbing the Canal Dover
postoffice on December 10, in which job
he is supposed to have figured with Others
now under arrest and belonging to the
gang which has operated from Canton.
Henderson was taken to Massillon this
afternoon for hearing before Commits
sioner Folger.
Henderson's arrest, it is stated, was
brought about by Inspector Owen finding
some of the government property from. ..tl .
Canal Dover postofflce in his possession.
Though nothing will be given out, it is
intimated that supposed secret con-
versatiDn. between Henderson and other
alleged members of the same gang now
in Jail was overheard by an official, which
will have some weight against all parties
when the case comes to trial.
At about the same time that Henderson
was arrested here, United States Marshal
Young, Of Cleveland, arrested John Eek
hardt in that city on the same charge as
preferred against Henderson. Govern
ment property from the Canal Dover
postoflice had been found in his possession
through the efforts of Inspector Owen.
Eckhardt is we'll known in Canton. He
was formerly saloon keeper here and
at one time was emplo. ed in the Diebold
Safe and Lock works. He will be given
a hearing before the United States court
in Cleveland.

IL surely looks more like war than IL

action OF Spain In sending formidable

incident that Is more warl.ke than any OF
the features Of the Maine disaster or OF
the complications growing out OF the op-
preston and starvation OF the Cubans.
The question of indemnity to this gov

be settled by court OF nations or other
form of arbitration. On the other hand il
seems TO me that this government would
certainly be warranted in taking steps
toward intervention in the Span,sh-Cuhan

mitfed by the Spanish among the Cubans
can no longer be endured. The reports
are from trustworthy sources. and .ndi-
cate that Intervention on the grounds OF
