The order TRIAL.
The Defendant Found Guilty and
Fined 5000.

Some months ago Mr.. William
Graves was shot and seriously
wounded in the streets of Marion,
by Ollie Order, a young farmer of
the Bells Mines neighborhood, a
full account of which affair was
published in the PRESS at the
time it occurred.
Both parties to the trouble are
we'll known and prominent in the
far ming circles of the county;
both are young men of good rep
utation, and the affair was but an
other sad commentary on the laXi-
ty of our State law as to the car
rying of concealed deadly weap-
ons.
Without reiterating the details
of the encounter, suffice it to say,
that a few angry words were spo-
ken, a pistol flashed, and Will
Graves fell with a bullet in his
body. 1t has been said the affair
was the result of an old family
feud. Be that as it may, its effects
are no less deplorable and lasting.
The evidence ON the trial proved
good characters for both the pros
ecution and defense. Neither are
men of belligerent dispositions,
and both have many warm friends
in their respective neighborhoods.
The prisoner was represented
by the legal firms of James &
James, Moore & Moore, and Blue
q Num-; the prosecution was con-
Quoted by States Attorney John
Grayott, assisted by County Attor-
ney j. Bell Kevil and Attorney
Carl Henderson.
! Some trouble was experienced
in securing a jury, but a first-class
one was finally obtained, and Sat
urday morning the trial was be-
gun.
The arguments of counsel at
tracted quite large audience to
the court room.
Messrs. j. w. Blue and Carl
Henderson made argumentative
speeches for the defense and pros
ecution, respectively, and County
Attorney Kevil made a fine and
convincing speech for the prosecu-
ton.
The leading speeches, however,
for the defense and prosecution
were those of Allie Mo ore, Ollie
James and John Grayott.
Allie Moore made one of his
ringing speeches, bristling with
cold facts and replete with argu-
ment and eloquence.
The speech of Mr.. James was a
logical presentation of facts CLEAN
ed from the witnesses; a close
analysis of various connecting
links in the chain of evidence; a
touching appeal to the jury on the
score of previous good character,
and a final outburst of eloquence
on general principles.
In winding up for the prosecu-
ton States Attorney Grayott was
lucid in argument, impassioned in
his eloquence, earnest in his con-
victions and convincing in his
general premises. The arguments
of both Messrs. Grayott and James
were entirely worthy of the two
men. And that says much.

''I'll tell you how l lost good GUS

rae Old Chestnure.

It 2s said that certain Cleveland
lady whose handsome house is in an
ultrafashionable section Of the city was
called east while her home was under
going the renovating and refurnishing
process. During her absence a man
was especially engaged to hang the pic
lures. Among them were a number OF
excellent coIees Of the worlds greatest
works Of art, and the man, an artist,
found his task labor Of love.
With great care he hung the more
valuable copies in the roomy reception
hall and had just finished his task
when the lady returned.
Her eyes snapped as she surveyed his
work.
"Who hung those old chestnuts
there" she cried.
"Old masters, madam" said the star
tied artist.
"Old chestnuts, say; it's the same
thing. If you hung them, take them
down. I won't have them there. With
new furniture and new decorations and
new carpets and rugs I'll have new
pictures too. Who ever heard Of such
old trumpery stuff in strictly modern
house?"
"And what shall do with the-the
old chestnuts, madam" the artist in
Quired.
"Oh, dump them into the attic until !
can get rid of them" replied the lady.

THE DATE OF THE FLOOD.
Bible Facts on Which the Bishop
Roxed His Question.

Bible Facts on Which the Bishop
Based His Question.
Some people had fun over the re-
ported rejection of eight candidates for
the African Methodist ministry in the
south by the examining bishop because
they could not tell the date of the
flood. Nevertheless the bishop who
asked the question knew what he was
doing. 1t may not have been a fair
question, but there is concise answer
to it in the Bible, and he no doubt
thought that the eight candidates, IL
they were we'll versed in the Old Testa-
ment, would answer it at once.
The date Of the food was 1866 years
after the birth Of Adam. in the second
month and the seventeenth day. It be-
gan then and continued for 40 days
and nights. This is how it is figured:
The third verse Of the fifth chapter Of
Genesis reads thus. And Adam lived
130 years and Degat Il son in his own
likeness, after bis image, and called his
name Seth" Then in the sixth verse
IS lClu lAdl SSlu IiNSO 1Oc y Gio
begat Enos Adam, says the fourth
verse. lived 500 years after the birth
Of Seth, and the latter after the birth
Of Enos lived S07 years. So it goes on.
Enos begat Cainan when he was 90;
Cainan begat Mahalaleel when he was
Is; Mahalaieel begat Jared when he
was 65; Jared begat Enoch when he
was 1852. Methuselah was born to
Enoch when the latter was G5, and
when Methuselah was 1S7 he begat
Lamech, and Lamech's son Noah came
into the world when the father was
1S2. This brings us down to the birth
Of Noah, which, according to the added
ages Of the several patriarchs at the
time their sons were born. occurred
1856 years after the birth Of Adam.
In the seventh chapter Of Gensis the
eleventh verse reads as follows: I'm
the six hundredth year Of Noah's' life,
in the second month, the seventeenth
day of the month. the same day were all
the fountains Of the great deep broken
up and all the windows Of heaven
were opened" This was the fcod.
and it came to pass in the year 1866
after the birth of Adam.-New York

Gently I had occasion to dispose Of a
5-months-old calf which was taken
away about noon and butchered a
short distance from my residence.
When the cow came home at night,
she missed her calf, and although an
orphan calf was permitted to suck she
continued to call it by affectionate
mooing and looking. The COW, how
ever, only gave about one quart Of milk
instead Of gallon or more, as former

ouently for her calf. and the next
morning when it did not appear she ex-
hibited unmistakable signs Of grief.
The orphan calf was no solace to her.
She was driven to the woods with her
mate, but came back and continued
lowing until noon. She came inside
the ipclosure, but would not eat grass.
Just after dinner great commotion
was heard In the direction Of where the
calf was butchered, made by a number
Of cattle lowing, having scented the
fresh blood. The grief stricken mother
COW ran to the closed gate and looked
beseechingly toward me, as much as to
say, please opcA the gate which
being done she started On a run to
where the other cattle were lowing.
In a short time she came slowly
walking back to the house and was
again permitted to come inside the in-
closure, when she deliberately took up
a position at the kitchen door, wistful-
ly looking in mute despair at each
member Of the family as they happen
ed to pass her. The tears flowed copi-
ously from her eyes. and there she
stood the balance Of the afternoon,
weeping necessarily, with the same ap-
parent grief that a mother would for
her dead child. 1t really caused me to
shed tears Of sympathy for the poor

Renting Locomotives.

Hundreds Of locomotives ere rented
every year. Several corporations make
their chief revenue this way. The
Baldwins have many machines out on
the rental form Of payment-that is.
the engines are rented in the same way
that you would buy stove on install
ments-so much down. so much
month, the payments to apply on the
final purchase money. 1t is seldom,
however, that railroad rents locono-
tives. They are usually let out to con-
tractors who construct temporary rail
ways for hauling dirt from eXcava-
tions.
Contractors who hire the locomotives
usually have their own names gilded
on them SO that the public may suppose
that they belong to them. The engines,
as a usual thing, are cast offs. They
may have pulled express trains once,
but now they are only fit to pull gravel
cars. The engineers who work them
are oftentimes also the cast offs Of the
profession. They may have operated
express engines, but through careless
ness or other incapacity have been dis
charged from one road after another
until they are only fit to haul gravel or
wood trains.-Philadelphia Record.

The old lady was not used to travel

age in the rural regions, but doubtless
she called old Ireland home. The con-

The Average Lawsuit.

There is nothing more ridiculous than
the average lawsuit. Two men dispute
over few dollars and 90 to law. Both
are sure to lose. Their neighbors are
dragged in as witnesses, and the costs
amount to 10 or 20 times the amount in
dispute. Frequently these lawsuits
ruin families and start Quarrels that
last for years. Some men claim it IS
"principle" that actuates them in these
lawsuits. 1t is bullheadedness, pure
and simple. L is nearly always easy
to "split the difference
Another bad feature about these law
suits is that the county is put to con-
siderable expense, and men willing to
work are compelled to sit on the jury.

law. If the man with whom you are
disputing Is not willing to "split the
difference" he will probably accept q
proposition to leave it to three neigh
bors.-Atchison Globe.
