THE CRACKsMRN CONVICTED.
Goes to Prison for Five Years and
Pay Fine,

After being out two hours the Jury
returned verdict Of guilty Thursday
in the case against William Mckinley,
Charles Howard, Thomas Nolan and
Edward Dugan, i'm the United States
circuit court, at Charleston, on the
charge of conspiracy, breaking into
postofiices and larceny or government
funds. immediately upon the an
nouncement OF the verdict, Judge ST.
monton sentenced the men TO five
years in the peneitentiary and a fine
$500 each.
The trial last d exactly one week.
IL began on Good Friday, which was
considered by some people as being
omninoUS for the robbers. In all over
100 witnesses were put on the stand.
or this number, the defense put up
less than dozen and these were only
to prove an alibi for the accused. The
lawyers for the defense did not at
tempt to sustain the private character
OF The men, which the government
punctured easily by the many wit
nesseS. In fact, Nolan, the only one
OF the defendants who was put on the
stand, did not hesitate to admit that
he was OF the sporting fraternity and
that he made his living by gambling.
The Columbia witnesses gave Ger
tain testimony OF the disreputable
places which the accused frequented.
The lawyers for the defense pitched
their case on the common principle OF
law, that the case against the men
should be proven by facts, which they
charged hau not been shown, and not
having been proven to be guilty, the
men should be judged not guilty. The
burden OF proof was put on the gov
ernment by the lawyers for the de-
Tense. 1t was gladly accepted by the
government attorneys and they made
a strong presentation Of their testI-
mony for the jury to pass upon.
The case has been followed with
much interest, not only in Charleston,
but through the State and especially
in the several communities where the
poStotfices were robbed. The defend
ants have shown that they had friends
and means, by the employment of
MeSsrs. Nelson and Earle OF Columbia,
and Hagood Of Charleston, TO repre-
sent them, for without COOL backing
they could never have made the de-
fense that they did. 1t is understood
that some Of the sporting fraternity
even followed the accused to Charles
ton, attending the trial and giving
such assistance and encouragement as
would come from their presence, not
to speak Of the financial aid which
they contributed. The trial has been
long hearing, but the case has not
been without good deal OF general
interest, and every day the large court
room was crowded with spectators.

The thirsty people of this commun-
ity who confine their drinks to what
is not found behind push doors are ut
tering ordinations of joy these days
for the ice cream soda combine
which boosted prices from cents to
ten cents, has been busted" and
now the barefoot boy who has earned
five coppers by running an errand
can order bit of ice cream put into
the bubbling water and pay for it
like a man, and the impecunious
youth can once more get next the
girl he shook on account of trust

Pin your faith to Oakland. Hidden
behind the veil of things to come lies
bright and promising future for the
town and county. At the present
time no great strides are being taken
in the line of industrial progress and
development right about the town but
in nearly every section of the country
things are on the move. There will
be an awakening in Oakland howev-
er. and that before long, when the
way will be opened to Transforming
this town into an industrial centre of
more than ordinary Importance
which will bring with it push and
energy, supplanting to great degree
the slow-to-move community which
in part now forms the populace OF
the town. There is a good set of
people here to begin with. Then the
resources and general advantages,
which far out class many of the older
and larger towns, are awaiting a
stage of development that must sure
ly come. The present generation
will live to see this town a THRIVING
prosperous, energetic city. Pin your
faith to Oakland; do all you can for
the towns best interests and you will
be repaid thousand fold.

YOUNG MAN BADLY INJURED.
BY Jumping From or Being Struck by
Fast Freight Train "A the Park.

BY Jumping From or Being Struck by a
Fast Freight Train a the Park.
William Rathbun, aged about II
years, son of Mr.. G. NJ Rathbun,
prominent resident of Mountain Lake
Park, was seriously injured Tuesday
night about - o'clock by jumping
from or being struck by an east
bound fast freight train at a point
about one hundred yards west of the
depot at Mountain Lake Park.
The young man had been in Oak
land that night and it is said that he
mounted the train which injured
him at the station in Oakland. The
train was fast through freight and
did not slow down at the Park. Pre-
sumably young Rathbun jumped
from the train as it was passing
through the Park and not being clea
of the cars that followed he was
struck by the projecting portions of
one of them and knocked to the OPP
posite track where he was found
about three quarters of an hour later
with one leg thrown over the rail.
He was conveyed to his home, near
by, and DR.. McComas summoned
who made an examination of his in
juries, they being quite numerous
consisting of cuts and Commissions on
all parts of his pody. He was in a
semi conscious state this morning.
Hopes are entertained for his reeov-
cry.

terday. I had q letter telling me I
must not fail to come. In pursuance
of that promise, I am here and I am
glad that I came. Iwant to congrat-
ulate you people Of Worthington on
this beautiful church, and think, l
can truly say, that no city of this
size has a building that can be COM
pared to it. and I hope that you and
the good people that assemble in
this place will profit by it. i.
I congratulate you, too, friends, on
another fact, that is, that this build
ing has been dedicated without a
debt, and understand that there is
money in the treasury, but this is not
always so in Methodism, and I know
what l am talking about. This is
not all that you need, you have
schools, you have churches, and I
understand that you are. about to
establish a hospital and earnestly
hope, that that may be successful,
and with church and with schools,
and with a hospital to care of the
sick, and with a christian community
what may you not hope for in the
future. May all the prosperity that
can come to a people come to the
good people of Worthington.
Now 1 am surprised at another
thing, that on such a night as this
such large company is assembled.
If I only knew that you came to see
the governor of this State, should
be very proud indeed, for no,greater
compliment could ! hope for or de-
sire. ..s
think that the governor should
frequently visit the people of his
state, for by that h. can better
understand their wants and condi-
tions. and can arrange matters so
far as he is concerned for their better
ment. I congratulate you again and
again. Now, I believe this is to be
a religious campfire, and I am glad
that this church is going to be de
dicated not only for religion and
God, but also to patriotism. I have
