THE PRICE CASE
Jury Unable To Agree And Is Dis
CHARGED This Afternoon.

A hung jury and another trial OF the
Price case is what appearances now
indicate.
| Saturday arguments were concluded
and Immediately after dinner Judge
Walthall delivered his charge to the
jury. They retired for deliberation
and the crowd waited in the cour t.
room anxiously for the verdict. AT
o'clock juror appeared at the door
of the courtroom and calling Deputy
Sheriff Bryant told him that they
could not agree. He replied that it
would be useless co tell the court about
it so soon and they continued their de-
alterations.
When court adjourned they had not
agreed and were locked up for the
night. After being out all day Sunday
they were still unable to agree and at 9.
80 o'clock they came in to.report Fore
man A. j. Ross stated that they had
done their best to agree but have been
unable to do so and there seemed to he
no chance CT their being able to do
so.
District Attorney Dean was inclined
to favor allowing the jury to go as
having done their best to agree. Mr..
Patterson suggested that the trial had
already cost many thousand dol
lars.
Foreman Ross here said: "Your
honor, the one who has been holding
out against US all this time but
was interrupted by the court who OBJ
jected to this making public in court
the secrets of the jury room.
After few minutes elaboration
Judge Walthall directed the jury to
retire again and make another effort
to agree.
At 1920 the jury was still unable to
agree upon a verdict and was dis
charged by the court. 1t Is under
stood that they stood IL to for &C

through hail of bullets, three Of
which took effect, wounding him NOR
tally. Bloodhounds were placed on the
trail of the assassin, and in day or
so Bud Clendennin, a man who but a
short time before had recovered from
an illness through which the kind
hearted doctor had treated him free OF
charge, was captured. He was tried,
convicted at Charleston and given a
life sentence in the penitentiary, where
he subsequently died, protesting his
innocence to the last. The fact that
it was on the eve Of an election, and
that for some of the jurymen to vote
1t would be necessary for them to dis
pose of the case that night, saved
Clendennin from the gallows, as II
of the jury were for hanging, the
other was not, and, declaring his in
tention Of holding the fort, the rest
gave in, so that they might vote. In
the same year, and but few months
later, the body of DR.. J. C. Aultz,
well-kn0wn surgeon, was found life
less mass under the fatal bridge. I'm
known parties attempted to blow up
the bridge with dynamite during
strike in 1894, but owing to the fact
that they were not familiar with the
explosive the force of~,the explosion
was unconf1ned, and though the bridge
was somewhat weakened, comparative
ly little damage was done. During all
the time that the Lewis gang of rob-
bers and murderers existed this was
their rendezvous, and every move
which they made was planned under
the shadow of the old bridge. Here
it was that John Cochran, miner, was
coaxed one night in March and muir
dered, robbed and then his lifeless
body cast into the inky waters of the
creek, and washed out into the bosom
of the Kanawha river. Viers, who led
the white element of this gang, made
an effort to throw the responsibility
for this murder upon an innocent man
on the scaffold his nerve failed him.
and he confessed that his former state
ments were false. and that Lewis had
nothing to do with the murder.
Back in 1880 the first lynching that
ever took place in that section occur
red within few hundred yards of this
bridge. Mart Lee, who had assaulted
white lady, was turned over to the
sheriff of Fayette county by the sheriff
Of Kanawha on this bridge, which was
then the dividing line between two
counties In a short time mob over
powered the sheriff, and, taking Lee,
swung him over the river from the
first available tree. sa..t
Many people have fallen between
the tracks of this bridge, and sustained
serious injuries. The last Of these was

other war veteran has fallen from the
ranks Of those left,after the civil con-
dict Of the sixties. Old Ned was not
pensioner, although he was entirely do.
pendent. He was acknowledged to b
the only surviving member Ut the
equine race which did service in the
late war. The steed lived to the re.
markable age Of 43 years, and died this
month in the stable Of his owner, B. =.
Crawford, at North East, which had
been the horses home since the war
closed. Ned served in the armies Of
both North and South, doing his duty
as willingly for one side as for tho
other. Yet he was not a deserter from
sither. The old nag's history would
make an interesting volume, as he had
Seen exhibited all over the country.
His teeth marks proclaimed him 3
years old when, in 1864, he was a oeau-.
full black charger ridden by one OF
Earlys raider. who was shot from ais
back in an encounter near Washing
ton, and the horse fell into the hands
of 4 victorious Federal brigade. After
the fight, when those who had lost
their mounts In the battle were sup
piled with new horses captured from
the enemy, Ned was given to B. F.
Crawford, then a sergeant, who rode
him through the rest Of the rebellion.
For several years past Mr., Crawford
has paraded his pet animal in memorial
events in different cities OF the coun-
try, and the sagacious beast had
learned to know Decoration day cele-
bration as we'll as anyone. The sound
Of martial music had wonderfully 70
Jfvenating effect on him. When IN
parades he could not be managed any
where except directly behind and next

occasions which have been featured By

venom0us Indian Cobra Hasn't Eater

All bona-fide fasting records have
been broken by La Tosca, the great
Indian cobra at the Zoo. This snake
has been under close scientific observa.
ton for % months past, during all Of
which time the reptile has not tasted
a morsel Of food. Psychologists from
several medical colleges and others
representing pharmaceutical concerns
have been endeavoring to secure speci-
mems Of the big snakes venom, which
brings instant and horrible death to
all forms Of animal life, but La Tosca,
in her voluntary fast Of % months,
has never once opened her mouth wide
enough to enable these scientists to
secure, the venom by any of the ordi-
nary methods of snake handling. The
venom-fang is long, sharp conical
tooth of the upper jaw, by means OF
which the poisonous fluid is injected
into the punctured wound. This fang
is attached to the maxillary bone, and
may be thrown forward or laid fiat by
a peculiar mechanism by which the
bones Of the upper jaw change their
relative position. This tooth or fang
is folded upon itself. for the convey
ance of the venom, and is also con-
nected with the duct of the receptacle
which contains the poisonous fluid.
The mechanism of the bones Is such
that the opening Of the snakes mouth
widely causes the erection OF the
venom fang, and when the mouth Is
closed upon the object bitten the same
movement injects the venom, and
death ensues forthwith. Some Of the
psychologists seem to think that the

Probably no place In the United

the hands Of bridge builders engaged

spans. The original owners were the
Morris brothers, who held the patent
from the state Of Virginia, and from
these brothers the creek bears its
name. How many tragedies occurred
here before the white man came is not
known, but tradition says the creek
was the scene of number Of conflicts
between the Mingoes and the Shaw
nees, and the quantities of arrows and
stone hatchets which can be found
there bear out the correctness of this
statement At one time this creek
