THIRSTY rHRoNo.
No Ice and a Shortage Of Liquor Made
the Picnic Flat.

There was u larPe crowd in Madi-
sonville Saturday, the day of the
union miners barbecue. Mayor
Ross, had the saloons closed and
guarded aud a number of extra
policemen to keep down any trouble.
The mining property throughout the
county is under the protection of
deputies appointed by the Sheriff.
Organizer Purcell, of Indiana,
made an incendiary speech on the
courthouse steps, after which the
union miners, most of whom were
strangers, marched to the picnic.
Brass bands were brought from
neighboring counties. There was an
ice famine, too, which made more
unbearable the closing of the sa-
looms to the thirsty throng.
1t is reliably reported that Presi-
dent Woods, of the United Mine
Workers, tried to have the saloons
opened, but without success. The
miners Of the county were all busy
and scarcely any OF the 1000 en-
ployed miners could be seen at Mad
isonville.
A house at the Monarch mine was
fred into Saturday night by man
on horseback, who fred several
times. The fire was returned and
the man fed. The fellow was rid

THO LAW OF COMPENSATION.
The Drought-shortened Corn Crop Has

The D-ought-shortened Corn Crop of
the Central Western States Has
Been Very Nearly Balanced by the
Phenomenal Wheat Yield of the

Chicago, July 3i.-The law of com
pensation has come TO the rescue of
the western farmer. Although it is
reasonably certain that the corn belt
will produce a crop only reaching to
two-thirds of that of last year, the
very conditions responsible for this

the same area the most wonderful
winter wheat harvest in the history of
the country.
The following tables have been COM
piled with great care, and are the re-

JURY WERE INSTRUCTED TO ACQUlT,
The Court Held That the Govern
ment Had Not Furnished Proof
sufficient to Sustain a Verdict OF
Guilty-A Remarkable Demon
stration I'm Court.

Pittsfeld, Mass, July 27.-At the
opening of court in the Fosburgh
trial, Judge Stevens instructed the
jury to bring in verdict of not
guilty and this was done, ending the
trial.
The jurymen did not leave their
seats. The verdict was received with
shouts of applause which the court
soon suppressed. The demonstra
ton. however. was one of the most
remarkable that has ever occurred in
a court of justice.
The Courts Remarks.
Judge Stevens in ordering a YER
dict of acquittal said:
"Mr. Foreman and gentlemen: Dur.
ing six days we have listened to a
painful recital of one of the saddest
tragedies ever presented to jury. A
beautiful girl just budding into
womanhood was shot down, and her
brother has been accused of the
crime. The government has endeav'
ored to prove that the girl was not
shot by burglars; it has endeavored
to exclude all other members of the
family from the affair, and tried to
prove that the shot was fired by her
brother, Robert S. Fosburgh.
More I'm Form of Inquest.
"The trial has proceeded somewhat
in the form of an inquest, and has
been tried with great pains on the
part of the government and the de.
fense. There has been a desire to
obtain proof, and so a great deal Of
evidence has been introduced and ad.
mitted without objection which might
have been excluded under the strict
rule of the law. think ought also
to say to you that it is due to the
chief Of police, who has stood behind
this prosecution, that in the view OF
the court he has tried to do his duty
with single eye to ascertaining the
truth.
Not Sufficient Proof.
snow, Mr.. Foreman and gentlemen,
q motion has been made that this case
be taken from the jury, and it be.
comes my duty to say to you that in
the opinion of the court the govern.
ment has not furnished proof suf.
ficient to sustain a verdict of guilty
against the defendant, and, therefore,
under the direction of the court, in
hn sn1fOfxnnHN - DAl%ar+
burgh for killing his sister, you will
return a verdict of not guilty"
Denomination I'm Court.
The crowd in the courtroom, which
included hundreds of friends of the
defendant, broke into loud applause,
which the court Immediately quelled
by sternly raising his finger and COM
the sheriff to see that the
demonstration was not repeated.
Robert Stewart Fosburgh, the de-
fendant, was then ordered to stand
while the foreman of the jury was
asked: what is your verdict?" The
reply was mot guilty"
Thanked the Jury.
Judge Stevens then in a few words
expressed his thanks to the jurymen
for their careful consideration of the
case during its presentation to them.
Young Robert Fosburgh was then
discharged from custody and court
was adjourned.
The crowd then rushed as one per.
son to shake the hand of the smiling
young man and it was several min.

TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
City Clerk Truman H. Ketchum
And Miss Berta HoSkins Unit.
ed In Marriage.

To the surprise of all except those who
were taken into the confidence Of the
contracting parties, ON Thursday night
City Clerk Truman q. ketchum was
united in marriage to Miss Berta Hos
kins of this city.
Mr.. Ketchum kept the matter a pro-
found secret and none seemed to know
OF the affair until the wedding was an
nounced. 1t took place at the home Of
the BRIDES parents Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Hoskins on Fruit Ridge and was per-
formed by Rev. c. E. b. Ward, OF the
Presbyterian church before the immedi
ate families OF the two contracting
parties and very few Of the most init
mate friends.
The bride is we'll known in this city
and the country about her home, as a
most lovable young woman. She was
graduated from the high school in this
city in the class OF 1900 and was one of
the most popular of the graduates.
Miss Hoskins formed her acquaintance
with her newly made husband in tho
public schools of this city and there the
intimacy grew into love and it is one OF
several love matches which were begun
and fostered by high school association.
Those who know the bride have nothing
but the kindest words OF praise OF her
character and disposition and promise
that she will make bride Of which Mr..
Ketchum will be proud
The groom is 30 we'll known here in
the city that an extended notice of who
he is seems unnecessary. He has been
practically raised in this city and has
grown to young manhoods estate right
here and is held in esteem by all who
know him. The groom is a son of Col.
and Mrs. g. h. Ketchum to whom he
has been duJiful son and companion.
Immediately after the ceremony at the
home OF the bride there was wedding
supper to which all the guests sat down
and made the welkin ring in celebration
Of the nuptial event.
The Sentinel extends heartiest con-
gratulations to the newly welded couple.

Kansas regiment which went to the
Philippines under General Funston.
The regiment came home in a body and
was mustered out Of the services Of the

cisco, last Wednesday, The young man
is proud OF his experiences in the philip
pines, but says someone is pronting by
the food which is furnished the soldier
boys, as the bacon comes to them in
awfully bad shape. He believes the in
tention OF the government 10 to supply
the best of everything, but that contract
ors for army supplies furnish poor ma
terial. The young man went east this
