says he can prove his innocence OF
the charge. Wayne News.

Hon. W. L. Mansfield, editor OF
the Wayne News, came over from
Wayne this morning to see the
"Chicago Democracy and spent
the day here. Mr.. Mansfleld's
name has been mentioned by the
press in connection with the Dem
Dcratic nomination for congress in
this district, but 1t i, not at all
likely that Mr.. Mansfield could be
induced to accept the nomination
as he has not the time to devote to
a campaign OF this kind. There is
a probability, however, that MT.
Mansfield may make the race for
Circuit Clerk of Wayne county, at
the coming election.-Huntington
Advertiser.

The Huntington Advertiser says:
Henry Turner is young man
twenty-five years OF age and lives
three and half miles south Of
town on Four Pole creek. He is a
rather sensible looking fellow and
from appearance one would not
imagine that he would do the deed
he did last night. Turner came to
town early in the evening, filed up
on booze and nine O'clock found
him in the East End. Passing the
| b. Church he heard tho service
and went inside. Turner found
that he could not attract the atten-
ton OF the worshipers any other
way so he walked out into the yes
Thule OF th church and pulling
forty-four calibre British bulldog
revolver from his pocket began
discharging it in the air. A nc
ment later he nqbbed by a police
man who was inside and was Civ
en- a ride in the city patrol to Ho-
tel Stephenson. This NOR ming in
police court he plead guilty to his
conduct and was fined one hundred
dollars by Judge Lallance. He had
no excuse to offer for his demean-
or only that he thought little ex-
element would he a good thing for
the East End. He will probably
work out his fine on the street.
