The Superior Court.

The last jury case in the superior
court, that OF Willis Smith against
Thos. Eglin, was decided on Wednesday
in favor Of Mr.. Smith and the jury dis
charged for the term. Three jury cases
were up for trial this week, the first
being that Of the State against Post
master Conway, Of Kennewick, charged
with stealing sheep. The jury brought
in verdict OF acquittal. The second
case was that of George Gervais against
Alex McAllister, who lost thumb in a
personal encounter with Mr.. McAllister.
The plaintiff asked for damages to the
amount of 1918, but the jury after
being out all night disagreed, the first
ballot being eight to four in favor Of the
defendant.

WAS COL. BOYLE IMPORTED ?

Col. J. G. Boyle has severed his con-
nection with the News. Until other ar
rangements can be made the work will
be done by local talent.-Yakima Daily
News.
THE HERALD does not fancy the asperity
conveyed in the foregoing paragraph,
Col. Boyle has been in North Yakima
long enough to cast off his swaddling
clothes. His nativity THE HERALD does
not know. Missouri, perhaps; but he
has always seemed to have tender
attachment for Texas.
The advent of the publisher of the
News is certainly OF more recent date.
His trail can be traced without difficulty
J from the south bank of the Columbia
river, through Goldendale and Prosser,
10 the metropolis of this county, but
where he originally came from we know
not, neither will we enquire. He may
have been raised in hot-house along
with the intimated-importedand tropical
Boyle, but the climate of Yakima will
surely bring both to a head. Yakima is
warm enough, when the sun shines, to
develop all there is in man, but it is
certainly little rough for one so new
to Yakima as the editor OF the daily to
infer that an old-timer like Col. Boyle
could not be classed in the category Of
'local talent"

out waiting, Mr., May ran to the place

the officers returned the arrest had
been made.

GEN. FRENCH AT KIMBERLY.

The news which came Saturday
that Gen. French acting directly under
Lord Roberts, had relieved Kimberly,
indicates that different tactics are being
used in the British side in the South
African war, than has been the case
heretofore. But the news this fore.
noon was far too meager to give any
idea as to the extent of the movement.
Lord Roberts has massed large
forces in the section of country
tributary to Kimberly and Magers
fontein and he may be able tc
crush the Beers by mere force of num-
bers. There is no mistaking the fact
how ever, that under Lords Roberts and
Kitchener, strategy has for the first
time been used on the British side an6

MACRUM'S STATEMENT.

Elk Consul Macrum, who threw up
his position at Pretoria, principally be-
couse he was not heavy enough to hold
it down. and who has looked as wise as
an owl ever since he returned, while he
threw out hints from time to time of q
statement he would make when the
proper time came, has at last unbosom-
ed himself to the world to the extent of
a column or so. Macrum's statement is,
as Lincoln used to say. important If
true" but there seems to be grave
doubts as to its truthfulness. If, as he
alleges, the British censor at Durham
opened and read all of his official cor.
respondence and then sealed it again,
most fagrant insult was committed
against this country. But if this was
done, why did not Mr.. Macrum enter
an official protest at Washington 1t
seems from the reports given out by the
state department yesterday that he did
nothing of the kind, nor is it plain that
he even informed the department at
Washington on his return, of any such
indignities, but waited and first made
this charge public through the medium
of the press. If anything more was
needed to show that Mr.. Macrum is to-
tally lacking diplomatic qualities, this
procedure supplies it. While what Mr..
Macrum alleges may have possibly
been done. it is not very probable, how
ever, but if it has, there is not the least
doubt but that the authorities at Wash
ington will call England to time for the
same, and demand proper apologies.
The state department, Under President
Mckinley, has shown itself abundantly
able to handle all questions of foreign
affairs, and it will this, if there is any
thing in it. 1t looks very much, how
ever, as though Mr.. Macrum did not
possess the proper qualities to face
the situation that existed in Pretoria.
and wanted to come home until the
storm blew over, and that the state de-
partment finding his utter unfitness for
the place, dropped him and sent a. sue
cessor to the post. ,
On the subject of secret alliance be-
tween this country and England, Mr..
Macrum becomes as wild as any fusion
ist. He says that when he accepted the
place as consul he knew nothing of a
secret alliance between the United
States and England, and that there was
nothing aboutit in his consular instruc-
tions, nor nothing that made him SUBJ
ject to the whims and caprices of an
English military censor in Durham. |
OF course he knew nothing of
this, and of course such informa.
tion was furnished him because moth
ing of the kind exists. And if he suf-
fered any indignities at the hand of the
military censor, he should at once have
notified the Washington authorities |
and he would have been relieved |
from being subjected to such unwar-
ranted practices. 1t is plain to see that
Mr.. Macrum is not in any sense dip
lomat, even if what he alleges is true,
and should it prove to be true,
England should be called sharply to
account for such breach of diplomatic |
courtesy

Mr.. Macrum seems to- have fired his
communication into the wrong slot. 1t
would have been more effective had it
lodged on the desk of the secretary of
state at Washington.

Beers. though in this movement OF
Gen. French, it's execution seems to
have been such as to somewhat discon-
cert the Beers and to q large extent
nullify the advantages of the country.
Kimberly has been besieged 1873 days,
and the appearance of the British com
mander must have been a joyful one, as
provisions were becoming scarce, and q
diet of horse meat had been resorted to.
It is not probable. however. that the
swift movement of Gen. French allow
ed him to take many provisions with,
and therefore the actual relief is mat
ter to be attained during the next few
days.

MANIAC IN A COURT ROOM
Attempts to Take the Life of Judge Al
ford at Indianapolis.


ford at indianapolis.
indianapolis. June 12-An escaped
murderer and lunatic attempted to
take the life Of Fremont Afford, Grim
inal judge of this (AIariom county, and
Prosecutor Edwin b. Pugh. The
would-be assassin was George w. Ben
nett, who escaped from the hospital
for the insane Saturday. Bennett en-
tered the court room shortly after
court convened and attracted the court
by his incoherent talk. Judge Afford
started to the telephone when he
found Bennett at his back with a re-
volver pointed at his affords head.
Judge Afford gave the alarm and
sprang toward his private room with
the man after him.
Here Prosecutor Pugh appeared and
Bennett turned on him. n policeman
came running up and caught the fall
of the revolver's hammer on his thumb
ian time to save Pugh. 1t took four
men to overpower Bennett, although
he has but one arm. 1t is said Ben
nett lost his mind over labor troubles.
Bennett killed two men at Lafayette
in 1889, was sent to prison and after
wards transferred to the insane asy-
lum.
