fshed Yesterday.
Justice w. w. Rogers yesterday con-
cluded the hearing of evidence in the
case of State VS.. ". J.. Colts, charged
with forging a note for 5000. Several
witnesses gave comparatively unimport-
ant testimony. He expressed an opin-
ion regarding the signatures en- the two
notes, and Prof. ]. az. Frasher, hand
writing expert, expressed the opinion
that the face of the two notes might
have been written by the same hand.
He would not say as to the signatures.
When Mr.. Colts, the defendant took
the stand, he undertook TO explain the
existence of the two notes. He testified
that when he gave the first note to
Habberfield the latter retained S. as
interest and gave him the balance. He
deposited $190'of the money in bank on
the same day. That night he thought
about the transaction and remembered
that the note called for interest. He
made cut a new note for 5000, payable
in four months, and next morning
asked Habberfield to accept it as a
corrected note. He testified that the
ex-Justice did not have the original
note, but promised to destroy it.
The hearing continued until two
o'clock in the afternoon. The Prose-
cutting Attorney left ON account of ILL
ness, and defendant was not cross-ex-
amined. The Justice reserved his de-
cision until ten O'Clock this morning.

News Notes of Interest From the
Marshall County Town.

HS"1 VI 1AtCFeSI IRON LnG
Marshall County Town.
A man from Cincinnati, Ohio, was
here yesterday circulating among the
business men, endeavoring to create in
terest in a street fair for the town in
the near future. Mr.. McKim agrees
to assist the merchants in making the
affair a success. His object is to have
the merchants appoint a committee
on general arrangements and accept
his offer to provide interesting and
novel attractions, including Japanese
daylight fireworks. This man has been
instrumental in bringing about street
fairs in various places throughout the
country, and Is of the opinion that
Benwood is an ideal town for holding
such an event. He says that the vac
ant lots throughout the city could be
used by the merchants to advantage
in making displays. After his canvass
yesterday the local merchants express
ed themselves as being in favor of the
movement. and will. no doubt, take
steps in a few days with a view of
carrying out the plans as proposed. 1t
seems to be the general opinion that
such an event would prove of great
benefit to the town.
