Almost Twelve Hours Of Ballot
ing in Case of State VS.. George Liv-
insston No Agreement Is Reached
Case Against w. [. and Earl Slaves
Commenced This Afternoon.

After remaining out for almost
twelve hours. the jury in the case Of
the state vs.. George Livingston, the
old solder charged with assault with
son of Elias Duncan, another member
of the Soldiers Homo, at 3 o'clock Fri
day night reported that it had been un-
able to reach a verdict.
Every u of the instructions was
balloted upon several times, to no
avail, as an average OF six in the diff
ferent ballots held for acquittal. The
nearest verdict which was reached was
that of assault and battery. which
stood nine for conviction. and three
against. As a consequence the case
will go over, and will probably come up
for trial at the next term of court.
The nex criminal action, that of the
state VS.. Wilson Marcus. accused OF
lewdness, which was commenced Fri
day afternoon, was concluded just be-
fore noon today, and given to the jury

THE WINTER SEASON.

day Evening.
Manager Busby will open the regular
winter season at the Odeon Monday
evening With Mr.. Walker Whiteside as
the opening attraction.
Mr.. Walker Whiteside will bring his
elaborate production OF Lieut.. Gordon
kean's new comedy. I'VE Are King
Tae new play it is said is superior to
anything aside from the classic plays
which Mr.. Whiteside has yet produced.
From reports it is evident that I'VE Are
King" has caught the popular fancy
and the company supporting Mr..
Nhiteside is said to be OF unusual
prologue and three acts. The scenic
sattings and stage furnishings are very
rich and elaborate. The scene repre-
senting the garden of the Royal Palace
of Hamburg it is said is eNquisitely
beautiful. Seats are now on sale.
The Hoosier state has furnished the
locals for more literary efforts than any
other of the central states. Most OF
Riley's poems. T~arkington's novels, To-
seph Arthur and Lawrence Russell's
plays have Indiana for their scene Of
action. The latest of these is a play by
the latter called THE Punkin Husker,"
an odd title truly. but decidedly strik-
ing, which comes next Tuesday even
ing.
The action of THE Punkin Husker"
takes the place in Washington county.
Indiana, and depicts rural life far more
infinitely than any of its predecessors;
the dedication of the new barn is Il
scene that will go straight TO the heart
oil every beholder who has ever spent
any portion of his career in the coun-
try. The play also pictures a ngr
sional campaign, which eventually be-
comes so bitter that one OF the con-
~testants is mobbsd by whitecappers.

pastoral play selected for The stellar
