APOLOGY IND RETRO TON

fFOLOUl -fND T. Il. IL llON.
In the columns of The Virgin =
ia Enterprise, there appeared on
the 9th day of December, 1899,
an article, written by tie under
signed, scurriIously and males
iausly attacking the personal
and private character Of 2. E.
Bowling. editor Of the Evels'th
Star.
In this attack on MIR. Downing,
which We now confess, WAS false
and malicious and gathered from
sources wholly unreliable. we
accused the said p E. Downing
of being hated ou' Of the city
Of Tower, a. neigh boring town
on The Vcrm:iIDn range. and Of
stealing and taking away with
him a printing outfit and also
attempting to steal away soda
fountain with chatlel mortgage
attachment. We further ac>
cused Mr.. Bowling Of failing to
turn over to the village treasury
Of Eveleth the sum of $4,000 un>
til threatened by Il grand jury
Indictment. For each and every
one of thG Sc fai~e accusations
and statements we now extend
to Mr.. Bowling u full and abso
lutte apology and feel that 10 the
publication Of. the same on Does
ember 9Th, 1899. and later, their
reproduction IN another range
paper, we have done P. E.
Downing a great injury: that we
reflected upon his good name
and by our malice endeavored to
place stigma upon his charac
ter that nothing less than q full
apology and retraction can
amend.

a GLORIOUS w1ND,Up.
The COlOred Fair Ended Yesterday With Big
Crowd.

Yesterday was the last day of the col
cred fair, and it was a great day as far
as crowds were concerned. The numbers
on the grounds perhaps equalled those
of the day before, while the gay colors
of the ribbons worn by the partisans of
the two colleges which were to meet in
football rivalry during the day rendered
the scene a picturesque one. Interest
in the football game monopolized the
crowd nearly all day, although there were
other diversions, among them another
balloon ascension, bicycle races, and trick
bicycle riding by Lester Mcdaniel, the
champion colored trick rider of the
world. The students of Shaw University
and st. Augustine were admitted for
twenty cents each, as it was educational
day. st. Augustine's colors were white
and blue, and Shaw's white and red. The
crowd seemed to be about equally divi-
ded
The game came off in the afternoon,
and practically closed the Fair. Shaw
won, as is reported in another column
by a score of 10 to 0, after a one-sided
hard-fought contest in which all present
took the keenest interest.
This has been the banner year Of the
association for some time. It is now
in better financial condition than it has
been in five years. 1t is estimated that
the attendance the last two days ag-
gregated about six thousand people, and
that the total receipts amounted to one
thousand dollars. This is a very en-
couraging state of affairs. and the officers
are to be congratulated upon their sue
cessful management of the Fair of 1900
The same officers will conduct the af-
fairs of the next Fair, viz: Thomas Dom
aldson, president c. G. Road, vice-rresi-
dent; John H, Williamson. secretary; c.
w. Hoover treasurer, and H. S. Smith,
assistant secretary.

Section 1896 of The Code, providing that
where mo specific punishment is pre-
scribed by statute" the punishment shall
be imprisonment in county jail or peni-
Tertiary not exceeding two years, applies
only where an act is prohibited or is
made unlawful without specifying the ma
ture Of the punishment. 1t does not APP
ply to chapter 295, laws 1895, which pro-
vides that the punishment for the Of
fence named shall be by fine or impris-
onment in the States prison at the dis
erection of the court" In such case it
is competent for the judge to impose a
sentence of ten years in the States
prison.
STATE VS.. OVERLY. New trial
The Indictment contained two counts
one for burglariously entering the dwell
ing house, ETC.. lin the day time" with
felonous intent to steal the other for
the larceny of money taken from house
The jury returned into court several
times and reported that they could not
agree and asked what was to be done
when one juror would not act or come to
any conclusion The court stated that it
was the duty of each juror to act for him
self and Indicate his finding by his vote.
A verdict was finally rendered of guilty
on both counts" Upon the jury being
polled, eleven responded guilty on both
counts" but one replied. Il don't know
much about two counts, l agreed to find
him guilty of taking the money The
court then asked: "How do you suppose
he got the money!" and the juror an
swcred: 81 don't know very much about
that 1t was too long between drinks.
The court ordered a verdict of guilty to
be entered on the second count for lar
ceny; Held, error, The verdict was not
a unit and can not stand.
1t requires more than a simple taking
of property" to constitute larceny. 1t
must be taken and carried away with
felonious intent, which is the gravamen
Of the offence.
The court intimates that the Juror sub
jected himself to a rule for contempt.
