Hedges Acquitted

On last Friday, after six hours de.
liberation, the Jury in the Hedges
case, returned q verdict of not guilty
The trial was a holly contested one
and with embarrassing conditions on
both sides, the attorneys adroitley
managed to make, each, the most out
of the material in hand.
The charge of the court was clear
and met the acceptance of both sides.
The arguments of the attorneys
were able and eloquent, Messrs Petit
and Wright argued from the facts
and the law and MIR. Rickets from
the stand point of sentiment in behalf
of the State. Mr.. Dolson for the
defense presented the case in chain
of facts to logical conclusion, ear
nest, eloquent and impressive, while
Mr.. McBroom in q three hours speech
combined satire, 10 gic, defamation,
sentiment, in picturesque and origl-
nal combination, winLing the laurels
of the forum.
The accused had very close es-
cape. 1t is to be hoped that the les
son is one to last for him and for 9TH
ers following like course. life time.
The regret is that by reason of a
verdict of not guilty. sheriff Brandt
gets no pay for all the bard and ex-
pensive work he was put to, in SUBJ
poonipU the Witnessed.

John Green, Jr., Found Guilty

The Jury on last Monday, in the
trial of John Green of New Pitts
burgh, found the defendent guilty Of
shooting with intent to kill, the pen
atty for which crime is penitentiary
for from one to twenty years, at dis
cretion Of the court.
The families of McNamara and
Green living on opposite sides of the
road, In New Pittsburgh bad fam
lily quarrel of long standing. They
would rail at each other and occas-
ionall vary the proceedings by throw
ing stones at each others houses. On
the 81 of last August, the war broke
out with unusual activity, the Nc
Namaras bombarding the Green
house with a fussilade of rocks. John
Green, a young man of about "a yrs.
of age, took his revolver In hand and
accompanied by his brother, left his
house, crossed the road and went up
to the McNamaras, pointing his pis-
tol at the woman and threatening
death to the family. Some of the
McNamara family were armed with
stones, hoe and a coal pick.
David Trease who lives next neigh
Dor to the McNamaras came on the
scene and asked Green to put up his
revolver, not to shoot, that his fam
lily was in danger. Green cursed him
and told him to mind his own busi-
ness, and without further ado, drew
up his revolver and fred point blank
at Trease who was only three or four
steps away. AT the very moment of
the firing Trease dropped. and the
ball instead of striking bis heart or
vital organs hit him in the shoulder,
infilcting what was thought to be a
fatal wound. Trease however, it
may be said in this connection recov-
cred, and was at the trial Monday ,

ed.
The Prosecutor was assisted by
Harry Sparnon who was a valuable
aid in presenting the case and argu.

facts.
The defense was conducted by A.
r. McBroom who did all that was
possible to shield his client, attempt
ing to show justifiable shooting from
the fact that Green encountered an
armed force of the entire McNamara
family, ,and that when Trease appeared
holding stick in his hand, the de-
fendant, regarding him as an ally
and dangerous one, shot in SELF pro-
lection. The Jury was out but a

Mr.. McBroom made a motion for
a new trial which will be heard next
Monday, at which time also, the
prisoner will be sentenced.

The work on the tramway from
the Kerlin Bros. clay works to the
mines, is rapidly approaching COM
pletion. A number of cars have
been received. The works at this
time are employing, altogethar over
a hundred men.
The enterprise and prosperity of
town are reflected by the advertise
ments Of local newspaper. The SEN
TINEL, for sixty years identified with
Logan interests, has always been the
exponent of her fortunes. Our ad-
vertising columns show the activity
of trade among US today and the ex
hibit is bright and encouraging.
From surface indications, Main
street in Logan would be a good
place to bore for natural gas. Little
boys drive iron pokers in the ground,
making "well" two or three feet
deep and strike gas, which, when lit,
gives out half a dozen candle power

Should Missionaries Seek Martyrdom? "a a

Many secular writers and speakers, in
Guiding Lord Salisbury, have compared
the missionary of today with the apos-
tolic and post-apostolic missionaries, and
have implied that the foreign missioner in
our times is too unwilling to endure suf-
fering or martyrdom for the sake of his
religion, and too willing to seek the pro-
lection of a government gunboat The
religious press almost to unit disagree
with this view. The Standard baptist.
August 20 says:
1.-THE height of absurdity is reached
when our newspapers attempt to criti-
cize the action of Christian missionaries
in temporarily leaving their posts in Chi
ma during the present disturbances. We
are told that the early missionares-the
apoStleS-and their Successors during the
first centuries of our era did not run
away from their posts of duty They
stayed and preached in spite of persecu-
ton, and met death gladly and brayely
at the hands of their enemies They did
not send appeals to their Consuls for gun
boats. Now observe the sublime incon-
sistency, the hypocrisy, of such critics
one week they are loud in their denuncia-
ten of the missionary's folly in going tc
unsafe and uncivilized nations; he ought
to know better, ought to stay in the
white mans country. where lifo anc
pl operty are secure, and not risk his
neck by fooihardy attempts to live in in.
hcspitable lands. The next week the,
are applauding the splendid courage o.
the professional traveller who crosses Til
