Cox Murder Case at Youngs-

Fails to Agree.

Youngstown, March 6-The jury In
the case of the state against William
A. Cox, charged with the murder of
Enos Brains at Washingtonville, last
fall, made its report at $3.50 this morn
ing. The jury went out at o'clock
Wednesday afternoon remaining out
for Is hours and could not agree upon
verdict.
Tho introduction on Tuesday of an
eye witness, who corroborated the
story told by Cox on the stand,
completely demolished the case of the
prosecution, who depended solely upon
the stories Of the widow and daugh-
ter of the murdered man.
This witness. DR.. Kimble, of Wash
ingtonville. had been out hunting on
tho day of the fight. Coming unex-
pectedly upon the combatants, he saw
Brain strike Cox first; witnessed the
arrival of Brains wife and his daugh-
ter and saw all three attack Cox. He
saw Cox, having been struck with a
pick, stone and shovel. turn upon
his assailants and. in self defense,
strike the fatal blow.
He told no one, but the attorneys
for Cox. and his testimony evoked a
sensation when 1t was given. All ef-
forts to impeach this proved fruitless,
and to the fact of Kimble's testimony
Cox undoubtedly owes his life.

The Fire had a Good Start
2 When Discovered.
Effective Work of Hose Company and
the Citizens Saves Building from
aTotaI Destruction.

At S:15 last Wednesday morning,
the fire whistle called the Hose COM
pany and citizens to the chool house
which was on fire, and upon their ar
rival it looked as if our fine school
building was doomed. The Hose COM
pany responded quickly and with the
willing aid of our citizens, who went
into the seemingly hopeless fight with
vigor, with the result that with
about $1,000 or 81, 900 damages done,
the school building, the pride of our
Town and citizens was saved.
The fire started in the cold-air room
on the west side of the building, which
was roaring furnace when the de-
partment arrived. 1t was first dis
covered by Prof. Fuller who was in
the library room directly above the
fire and heard it cracking, and about
the same time Miss Julia Dockery of
the intermediate department on the
second floor discovered it as fire shot
out into her room through the hot
air registers. The alarm was quickly
given, while Prof. Fuller, Janitor Sew
erance and several of the school boys,
worked like beavers with pals of wat
er from the pump to keep the fire un-
der control until help arrived and he
roically did so.
The smoke was so dense that it was
hard work to enter the building be-
sides dangerous. The fire ate its way
through the partitions that it made
effective work hard, but in less than
one hour from the first alarm the fire
was out. The recitation room, the
library room, and the kindergarten
room on the first floor, the labratory
and intermediate rooms on the second
floor, all on the west side of the build
ing were damaged, besides books and
furniture. The rooms on the east side
of the building were not injured any.
AS we go to press the fire insurance
commissioners have not arrived, and
it is impossible for the school board
to state anything definate. The loss
lis fully covered by insurance.
1t is Impossible to.state at this time
whether the repairs can be made in
time for the opening of school after
the holiday vacation.
