to the State.

The Cole county grand jury has
adjourned for five weeks aud upon
the heels Of it comes the following
dispatch;
Jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. TO-
Rev. Creighton Brooks, the preach
er who started up the boOdling in
vestigation in the Legislature by
saying that 1000 dollar bills
were being circulated to control
legislation, preached a sensational
sermon at the uniOn services at
the Presbyterian church last night
to a packed house.
He paid particular attention to
those who have been conducting
the Colecounty jury and more par
ticularly paid his respects to Judge
HAZEL, criticising his instructions
to the jury in the following Ian
guage:
In his charge to the grand
jury Judge Hazells charge was
the drollest, quaintest bit of hui
NOR l have seen for many a day,
If Judge HAZEL never writes any
thing funny again this establishes
his fame as a humOrist, and it will
live forevar as a fine piece of legal
classic humOr."
In reference to the Prosecuting
Attorney he used very much more
striking language. He advised
Stone to resign.
Just at this time we need a
good, honest, able man in this Of
fee" he said, land this man is {
disgrace to the county and state
All eyes are focused on our Circui
Court. The world is wondering
what will be done. IL he doesn't

THE MAYHs CASE.
Disposition of The Matter
Tomorrow.

The preliminary trial of Benia-
min Mayes, of southwest of Thomp-
son, and his son, 0rpheus, charged
with killing George Sanders, a
neighbor, was begun before Judge
Bass at the Court House in this
city Monday afternoon.
Between forty and fifty wit
nesses were examined. Court adj
iourned till tomorrow, Friday,
when the argument of the attor-
neys will be heard
Our readers will remember that
ON July LIST, last, the defendant
and George Sanders had a quarrel
over the cutting of bee tree. A
fight followed and Sanders was
wounded from a pistol shot from
which he died on the 18th of the
month following.
Mayes surrendered to the officers,
claiming that Sanders drew his
pistol on him and in the scuffle
which followed the pistol was dis
charged and Sanders received the
wound. On Sanders side of the
case it is understood that the
junior Mayes, who it seems was
present, did the shooting. The
verdict of the court will satisfy the
community.
