The merchants of Butler can't ex-
pect to get the trade due this city by
the false idea that everybody knows
them and it is not necessary to ad-
vertise. That kind OF enterprise

ness men and competition is sharp.
Neither should the many stand back
and forage off the enterprise OF the
few who are energetic.

HAYOIS WAS ACQUITTED
If He Broke Headgate it Was Not
 Clearly Proved.

The trial of Ernest Hayois. accused of breaking q headgate in the Salt River valley canal. was concluded about o'clock last night. when the jury returned verdict of not guilty.
 The trial was resumed yesterday morning and the remaining witnesses were examined. after which the day was spent in oratory. The attorneys on both sides made able talks and that of Judge Mccormick was particularly long and comprehensive. as 1t covered everything in the way of water Iitisa- ton
 The defendant. according to the tes- timony. was seen with the broken bolt in his hand; he admitted having been there about that time: at least one other witness was with him. but he was looking the other way. cpnsequent- ly no one but Mir Hayois and his maker knows Sho broke the headSate- The long arl wearisome trial seemed to be devoted in great part to the question of the rights of the defendant and to whether or not he had right to break a headgate, rather than as to whether or not he did break a headgate, thoCci the lat ter point i~ ne issue covered by the statute. Tine jury concluded that the act of breaking the headgate was not proved bey d doubt.
