F0XHUNTERS.
ON TRIAL.

Dover. May 2.-No murder trial
that ever was heard could have
brought nine interested people to a
court house thau the trial of the
foxhunters when John r. Mills,
Jacob H. Wilson, Wilbur E. Mills.
and John Bennett were placed on
trial for aggravated assault and
battery upon Bethuel W. Hall. the
farmer whom they had beaten and
left for dead when rhey surround =
ed him in the grain office OF Fisher
Pierce in Milford. The feud began
with an excitement among the tox-
hunters of Milford because of the
farmers Of Milford Neck with shoot
ing for chasing foxes across their
land. The case was prosecuted
by Attorney General Ward aud
Deputy Attoruey-General Rlchar ds,
assisted by Watson Harrington for
the state. and Richard II. Kenney
Hsnry Ridgely, Jr.. and Arley B.
Magee for the four defendants, J.
r. Mills. Jacob Wilson, Wilbur E.
Mills and John Bennett.
1t was shown that on January 10.
the day prior to the assault harg-
ed the farm Of William Hall was visit
ed by the four defendants in COM
pany with about thirty iox hunt.
ers, who attempted to mob Ha II and
his brothers. TO the latter espec-
tally they directed their hreats
and according to the testimony,
John Bennett, referring to the al
legged shooting OF huntsmen's dogs
by the farmers for trespassing.
said:
''If my dog does not show up, the
worst has not come, for I'll spill
the last drop OF blood from your
bodp.'
Wilbur e. Mills said: Ii ever we
catch you off your place, we.l mob
you
John Mills added: IF I could only
get my hands on you, I'D put
your lights out.
Jacob Wilson arising in his carriage
turned to the company and cried out:
Lets break in on them and hang
them and lynch them to q tree with
our Ilalters. -
The following day the defendants
carried out part of their threat, for
the four men accused rushed into
Fisher Picrce's office. where Bethual
w. Hall was seated In an ar m chair,
and beat him until he was apparently
dead, in a great pool of his own
blood.
The aggravated assault was testifi-
ed by William II. Richardson and
Thomas J. Salmons attaches of the
Office wherein it occurred, and by
James II. Deputy, Fred Harrington
and William }. McColley, farmers.
Deputy swore that John B.. Mills
rushed into the office and struck l1a II
from behind on the back of the head.
"It sounded like knocking beef in
the head with an axe he added.
Mr.. Hall went out of the chair, in
sensible. but Mills jumped upon him
with his knees and beat him fifteen
Or twenty times the Others engaging
anybody who attempted to interfere.
The counsel for the defendants
made vigorous effort TO free them,
and to show bias and hatred upon the
part of the states witnesses, how the
men had been "hcld up" a the point
of guIs by the farmers who suddenly
closed up their lands again st any fox
hunting.

Do Room Tor Christ,

A At Friendship M. E. Mission,
April 9th, Rev. G. E. Coleman took
for his text, st. Luke 2: 7: "And
they laid him in a manger because
there was no room for them in the
inn" He began his discourse by
saying that the human heart was
very much like that inn at Bethle-
hem, no room for. Christ. For four
thousand years every true son of
God from the time that Adam fell
away back there in Eden down to
the time that Christ made his ap-
pearance in Bethlehem, had been
looking forward to His coming. The
mothers in Israel had been praying
that they might be the mother of
that child whom the prophet said
should be King of the Jews.
Then when He arrived the start
ling cry is heard-no room for Him.
IT may be that some of you are say
ing if they had known who he was
there would have been plenty of
room. There would have been the
booming of cannon, the ringing of
bells, the playing of bands and a
shout go up from the true sons OF
God at Bethlehem and Jerusalem
but my hearers, I am not sure of
that. | read that after he went
back to Nazareth after his fame had
spread throughout the country and
tbev ve,e anxious to find out if He
was going to perform any miracles
on the Lords day, He went into
the synagogue where they were
reading the prophecy found in the
sixty-tirst chapter Of Isaiah and they
offered him the book that ne might
read to the people, every eye was
upon Him. Undoubtedly there was
great excitement in that audience
when he read that grand prophecy.
.sThe spirit of the Lord is upon me
because the Lord hath anolnteu
me to preach good tiding unto the
meek; he hath sent me to bind up the
broken hearted, to proclaim liberty
to the captives and the opening OF
the prison to them that are bound.
You know chad come to make that
town better than any other town on
earth. He had come to lift 1t up:
He loved it because his fathers
house was there; but they hooted at
him and drove him out. He would
probably have given them as grand
q sermon as the sermon ON the
mount. | have often tried to pc
ture that scene as He stood outside
of the walls of that little town OF
Galilee. Rejected by his own KIN
dred, what must have been tht
loneliness that came over Him a.
He stood there. It was nothing but
persecution day after dayin the clty
Of Jerusalem. He taught the pure
doctrine. Around Him was SICK
mess, pestiIence, disease and death
He came to heal the SICK, give LIE
Ito the dead, raise those who were
fallen. Yes he came to bring llgh'
out of darkness and peace out o.
confusion. He came to lift the pal
of superstition, to dismiss the spel
of errors SO that man once mof'
might move as sweetly and obedl
emily as when Adams foot ms
struck the verdant soil Of Eden
The old organ was all out or tune
the notes were all discordant. III
came to retune SO that peace, %.

Big Sale of Farm Land.

just been closed by J. w. Stearns,
cashier of the First National bank
of Pullman, who sold to B. Lom-
bard, Jr., of Boston, Mass, 4, 100
acres of land owned by James Nc
Naught, of New York, for $IIo,-
900, cash, an average of nearly $50
per acre. The land lies in Whit
man and Spokane counties, in the
vicinity of Tekoa, Latah and Wa
verify, and is all under cultivation.
Nearly every quarter-section has a
small house and barn and the land
has been growing grain for the past
fifteen years. Mr.. Stearns' COM
mission on this sale is $1,000.
The lands were bought by Mr..
Lombard as an investment, and
makes his holdings in the Palouse
country nearly 10, 900 acres, and he
says he is in the market for more
good lands. Mr.. Lombard has
owned several Palouse country
farms for number of years, and
says he finds the rent pays better
interest than he can get for his
money in any other way, while the
land is increasing in value all the
time. He owns lands in many of
the states of the Middle West, and
his farm manager recently visited
this country, and in conversation
with the correspondent said that he
considered farm lands in this coun-
try the best investment Mr.. LON
bard has.
The lands just sold to Mr.. Lom-
bard were acquired by James Nc
Naught fully fifteen years ago, when
he was chief counsel for the Nor
thern Pacific Railroad company, at
an average price of $I.25 per acre.
Mr.. Mcknight had the lands placed
under cultivation, and has rented
them for grain-raising ever since, he
receiving one-third of the crop. The
lands were always a good invest
ment, and have paid for themselves
at least a score of times in rental.
Now Mr.. Mcknight has sold the
lands fora little more than twenty
times the original cost. He only
parted with the lands because he is
concentrating his interests in New
York, where he is now one of the
prominent lawyers at the bar of that
metropolis, aid in his instructions
to Mr.. Stearns to sell the lands said
he had decided to part with one of
his best investments IN order to get
all his property in New York,
where he could look after it person
ally.
Mr.. Lombard will continue to
rent the lands for a share of the
crop, and will also buy more lands
in the same neighborhood. He says
he wants land in both Whitman
and Spokane counties, and is open
for buying anything offered that is
good investment. Mr.. Lombard
recently stated that he considered
the lands of northern Whitman and
southern Spokane one of the safest
investments in the west.

Some of our gallant bachelors
would like to discover the present
whereabouts of a certain dashing
widow who went by the name of
Mrs. A. S. Clemishire. So also
would mine host of the Palace ho-
tel, at whose table the aforemen-
toned dashing widow has eaten of
the fat of the land for the past six
weeks. 1t all came about in this
way: The lady, who represented
herself as the general agent for an
eastern corset company, coming to
Pullman, took up quarters at the
Palace, and lived like a queen, but
neglected meantime to settle her
hotel bills, and broke the hearts of
our susceptible males. But the hotel
man was not clamorous for his
board bill, for hadn't the d. W., on
her arrival in the city, put in his
hands for safe keeping a roll con-
tanning great amount ofmoney, "
wrapped and sealed, and wasn't the
aforementioned roll still in his
hands? But at last the landlord
thought it full time for the d. w. to
balance the account, even if she had
to break the seal on the package in
the safe, and so he mentioned the
fact to her that he had the butcher,
the baker, and the candle-stick
maker all to pay, and her little ac-
count would come in quite handily.
And Tuesday, when the lady sud
denly and mysteriously disappeared,
the account still unbalanced, it
struck no terror to the heart of the
hotel man, although N. W., A. B.,
R. B., Will D., and the others
looked sad. The roll was still in
the safe. And when it was seen
that the d. W. had really gone, the
hotel man took the roll from the
safe, and proceeded to break the
seals that he might pay himself
from the widows money. But his
spirits fell somewhat as paper after
paper was unrolled, none of it show
ing the familiar appearance of the
