Killed His Brother.

Grafton, w. Va, Noy. S.-Robert
Shaver shot and KILLED his brother,
Henry Shaver, near Tunnelton, w. Va.
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
near here early Saturday morning.
There had been a dispute between the
men regarding a right of way which
Henry claimed through Roberts land,
the latter having shut out his brother
NJ building a fence across the road
Henry consulted lawyer at Kingwood
who told him to remove the barricade
and drive through; that he had legal
rights.
lille Henry was in the act of tax
ing down the fence, Robert, secreted
in his house, which stood only few
yards away, fired two shots with a re-
volver, both taking effect in his broth
er's head killing him instantly. The
tragedy caused great feeling and ex-
citement, but the officers were afraid
TO venture to Roberts home to dis
ledge him.
The Sheriff summoned a number of
deputies, but all refused to go, includ-
ing former Sheriff, who had been
shot four times, the latter stating that
he had taken all the risks he proposed
to take, The Sheriff nnally prevailed
upon a small boy to go up to the
house and ask Shaver to surrender.
The boy did this and Shaver came out
and gave himself up without resist
ance. He was lodged in jail at King
wood.

THE OBERLY TRIAL
Considerable Difficulty in Securing
a Jury.

Jufy'
The case Of Ohio against j. c. Oberly
on an Indictment for grand larceny,
came up for trial before Judge Jones
in Common Pleas Court Wednesday and
will probably occupy the attention of
the court the remainder OF the week
Prosecuting Attorney Brennan is as
sisted by Attorney A. D. Follett At
torney L. w. Ellenwood is counsel for
the defense and Hon. Thomas G.. Shay,
one of the ablest members of the Gin
cinnati bar, lis here to assist him.
The case being called, the attorney
for the defense announced that an OBJ
ieotion had been filed to deposition
taken by defense in Cincinnati. The
objection was heard and overruled so
that ghe deposition is held to be com
petert at the proper time.
The defense filed a challenge to ar
ray by which they raise the question
as to the summonlng of the jury.
Their claim was that the Jurors had
been notlned of their selection as
jurors, by postal card, whereas the
Tstatute require that they be served by
summons, delivered to each in person
or at residence The Court held that
as the jurors were present in court
the objection was not well taken.
The empaneling of the jury then be-
gan. The regular jury of the term was
present with two additional jurors
who had been drawn. Several Jurors
were excused for cause as they had
formed or expressed opinion in the
case and therefore were not qualified
to sit The defense asked for a
special venire for additional jurors.
The Court thereupon prepared a list
and caused summons to be issued. Out
of the list of ten but one juror was OBJ
tanned, all the others having formed
or expressed an opinion in the case.
The panel was at one time full having
been passed "for cause" that is no
cause for chellenge existing, and they
were allowed to sit unless rejected on
premptory challenge. After the panel
is full, .here Deing no cause for eXcus-
ing any juror on grounds of klnship,
lie forming of opinion, etc, each side
in the case still has the right to exer-
else two premptory challenges. That
is, two jurors can be challenged by
each without giving cause, and the
jurors so challenged are excused.
The State exercised one premptory
challenge yesterday afternoon and one
vacancy resulted. Owing to the diff
Guilty that had been experienced in Sc
curing jurors and also because there is
a probability of three more vacancies
resulting from the three peremptory
challenges which may YET be exercls-
ed, the Court made a list Of names of
persons living outside the city, who
have probably not heard anything
about the case and have formed no
opinion regarding it. Summons were
issued, returnable at $3.50 this morn
ing, when Court will again be in ses-
sion.
Inc attendance at the trial yesterday
was large. several ladies being in the
throng.
The carly part Of the forenoon today
will be taken up by the work of secur-
ing jury, after which the taking of
testimony will begin. About forty wit
nesses have been summoned in the
case.

Kellar'S Dancing Ghost.

Spiritualistic mediums throughout
the country have been set a-guessing
by the latest achievement OF Magician
Kellar, who has fairly outclasssed their
most perpleXng exploits. They claim
that their results are brought about
through the aid of spirits. Kellar says
his results are The results of trlckery,
and that is about all any of them are
All mediums use cabne6s. So does
Kellar. But Kellar's cabinet is only
about two feet square and is placed on
a sheet CT plate glass four feet above
the floor, so that all sides of 1t may be
seen. And its little front doors re-
main open all the time. 1t is mani
testify impossible for any confederate
to sc. into the little box, therefore the
things he causes to ranspire are all
the more mysterious. After playing
euchre, writing on states and doing all
sorts of things that ghosts usually do
in big cabinets, Kellar bcrrows a silk
handkerchief from a spectator and
places it in The little cabinet, at the
same time commanding the spook to
dres himself and come out and
dance. The handkerchief leaps out
of the cabinet to the stage, stands up
on one corner and dances in perfect
time to the lively strains of the or
cnestra. In ALL Kellar will present
dozen Oriental full stage illusiOnsand
