New Jury Had to BE EmpaneIed
Barlow News Notes.

Barlow News Notes.
Barlow. Fla, Oct. PA rather
amusing incident occurred in the Car
RE Fowler murder trial here Monday
night, and. as a result of it, the trial
was stopped, the jury discharged and
another jury ordered empaneled.
The jury in the case had been sworn
in, and before court adjourned for the
night the judge instructed that they
spend the night in the court room I'M
der the watchful eye of one or two
baiiffs.
1t happened that one of the jurors,
j. j. Hatcher, was a little deaf and
did not catch the words of the Judge,
so when court adjourned he made
bee line for his horse, as he had some
distance to go to his friends place
where he was stopping, and without
waiting a moment he jumped into his
saddle and away he went. The judge
when ii was explained to him he let
the juror off.
In the case of Carver VS.. Carter. the
jury brought in a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff. The amount of damages
awarded was $500. The attorneys for
Carter will ask for a new trial, and
in case it is denied the case will be
carried to the Supreme Court.
The Seventh Day Adventists have
bought a lot on which to build church
in this city. and they will probably
begin work on it right away.
