JURY WRANGLED
SEVERAL HOURS.
Decided at One Time That They
Could Not Agree.
FINALLY REACHED A VERDICT
Well Known Citizens Had DihicuIty In
Coming to an Agreement In
Trial In Police
Court.

The assault and battery case Of Jay
Freed in mayors court Friday after
noon attracted considerable attention.
Bolinskey demanded a jury trial and
the requisite number Of jurors were
served but when the trial opened, on
the consent of attorneys on either side,
there were only eight jurors, the others
having been challenged and discharged.
Quite number of witnesses were ex-
amined and the case was prolonged
till late in the afternon with examina-
tions. 1t was nearly s o'clock when the
jurors filed into the room provided for
them. During the evening outsiders
who listened could hear considerable
discussion of various points in the case,
it appearing that the majority Of the
jurors were in favor of conviction with
one or two for acouittal At 10 o'clock
Marshal Reinhart heard rap on the
door and he summoned Mayor Robert
son, and Attorney Piero, also accom-
panied the mayor. The foreman stated
that they had decided to disagree. The
mayor simply told them that they
should remain out a while longer and
again discuss the questions upon which
they were at variance and endeavor to
arrive at verdict. Shortly before IL
o'clock another rap was heard on the
door and this time the formeman re-
ported that they had arrived at a unan-
imous verdict. AS they filed into the
court room they handed the mayor
their verdict. 1t read that they found
the defendant guilty as charged in the
anldavit.
Incidentally this was the first jury
| trial which has been held in mayors
court since Mayor Robertson has been
ushered into office. The following well
known citizens composed the ujry
r. B. Sell, Ed. Sexauer, George Au,
G. Stanton, John Hadley, Louis K
HGrford James Leonard and John Bar.
ton. Ed. Sexauer was appointed fore
man, and the verdict was brought II
by the jurors on the printed lega
form.
Mayor Robertson was out of tow
Saturday and Bolinskey will be ar
raigned and receive sentence of thu
court Saturday night. He is out ol
pail. -...-. 49,, A. s-.IE.alE.aAA Asailal1E.

INDIANS PUT TO DEATH.
When He Heard of killing
of His Nephew.

Ell PAso, Tex, Aug. 12.-News was
received from Montezuma that when
General Torres learned that his nephew
had been killed by the Yaquis he
promptly ordered that 40 prisoners who
had fallen into his hands during the en-.
gagement of three weeks ago be put to
death, and they were accordingly taken
out and shot. Only two Indians were
killed in the battle, but the official re-
turns gave it as AZ. accounting for the
40 prisoners as killed in battle.

Tenth Men Examined.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12.-Physlcal
examinations are on in the Tenth, and
they will continue until the muster out.
The condition of the men generally is
found to be excellent, although there
are few cases of chronic stomach
trouble, for which the unfortunates ex-
pect to receive pensions. The idea of
forming football teams to play for the
monument fund has resulted in the
choice of players, who will meet Tues
day and form teams.

BARNETT AND A MISS QUAY.
Rumor That the Lieutenant Colonel Ii

Rumor That the Lieutenant Colonel IL
to Wed Soon.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Before the
Spanish American war began it was un.
derstood at Washington, Pa, Lieuten.
ant Colonel Barnett's home, and also in
this city, that the colonel's frequent
visits to Beaver and the national capital
were not entirely political missions, a
well defined and widespread rumor
having it that he had become engaged
to one of Quay's daughters.
The order which sent the Tenth regi-
ment to fight in the Philippines inter
fered with Barnett's love affair. 1t is
now said his wedding will take place
this fall. None of Mr.. Quay's family is
in Washington, and, therefore, no au-
thoritative announcement can be OBJ
tanned here.

CONGRESS LAKE
CINDER PATH
Not Needed Now Since the Re-
sort Has Been Closed
TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC
Suggestion Made That 1t Would BE u
Good Plan to Construct a Good
Path to Meyers Lake-Notes
About Wheela.

As yet no satisfactory conclusion has
been arrived at between the represen-
tatives Of the Canton Bicycle Club and
the Stark County Agricultural Soci-
ETY., as regards the leasing Of the fair
ground track for the Labor day races.
Ed Monnot, OF the Canton Bicycle
Club, when seen by the News-D democrat
man stated that his club was anxious
to hold meet and would do so, II the
track could be had at reasonable fig
ure. Mr.. Monnot further stated that
since the bicycle trust had been organ
lied it is more difficult to get good RI
ders at minimum cost as the manu-
facturers no longer maintain an expen-
sive string Of riders, who visit the var
ious race meets, in the interests Of
their employers. Since this is true a
more expensive prize list must be put
up to get good riders, thus making it
necessary to cut down expenses else.
where, II the club does not want to be
out several hundred dollars after the
meet.
Mr.. Parker, of the Good Roads
Wheel League, was seen in regard to
a rumor that that league was going to
hold meet on Labor day. He said
there had been no intention of doing
so as they had understood the Canton
Bicycle Club would hold a meet, and
therefore would not run in opposition
to the latter
At this writing neither club has OBJ
tained the, sanction of the L. A. w.
However there is no fear that an "out-
law" meet will be held. Negotiations
for the use Of the track will be closed
the coming week, but it can not be
positively stated what will be the re-
suit.
Since work on the projected path to
Congress Lake will necessarily have to
be abandoned, on account of the closing
of that resort to the general public,
why would 1t not be an excellent plan
to build bicycle path to our own lit
tie lake, II we cyclists really do want to
build path, which would be of benefit
to US all? By this procedure patronage
to the cause would be greatly increas.
ed, while the cost would be nothing In
comparison to what it would have cost
to build the projected path. The mum
ber of cyclists, who visit the near-Can.
ton-resort OF Sunday, number into
the thousands, thus making the path q
success from the start. Inasmuch as
it is Canton capital which will neces
sarily have to build the path, it would
be but just that Canton cyclists be the
ones to profit.

for Dr. Clawson at Wichita and Arkansas

them to come as quickly as they could.
And they wrote me they would be here
if they heard. Here is a letter from my
little girl"
The doctor took a letter from Mrs. Claw
son from his pocket and handed the re-
porter the following letter in plain,
childish, simple hand:
MAY 4th. 1899.
Dear Papa-I am coming to see you
Friday. and today Miss Sinett gave me
some candy and bananas. Mamma made
me new dress last night and I am going
to wear it when I come to see you. Mama
