case Of PETER VS.. Lightfeld brought
in a sealed verdict last night which
was opened in court this morning.
The verdict awards the plaintiff dam
ages in the sum of $4,000. The verdict
is in a ann a surprise, as it was
generally believed the damages would
be very light, if any were awarded.
The jury evidently took the view that
if Pictcr was entitled to any damages
$4,000 would be a small enough sum
for The loss Of both eyes. A good deal
Of sympathy is expressed for Light
field as well as Pieter, Tor the affair
was one Of the most unfortunate Incl
dents that are attributable to careless
ness. Pieter lost the sight of both
eyes as the result of a gunshot wound,
alleged to have been inflicted by Light
field at a clay pigeon shoot at Buckeye
on Thanksgiving day. The PLAINTIFF
was operating a, mangatrap and when
the match had been shot off a few out
siders we're trying t heir skill. PETER
raised up from behind the protection
and as he aid so Lightfield is alleged
to have fired, Pleter receiving the dis
charge in the face. 1t was generally
believed that Lightfield had been some
what careless but there was no evil
dence to show he had any intention
to hurt Pieter.

MUCHLY MIXED
Started Out to Get Married and
Landed in Jail.

Mike Klobnock, a miner Of Lost
Greek, was arrested Thursday night
on the charge of seduction and lodged
in jail in this city The arrest and
commitment has developed as very
maehly mixed condition of affairs.
Prior to his arrest he, with the assist
ance of a friend, had secured a marri-
age license from the district court
clerk as follows: mike Klobnock,
Lost Creek, aged 20 and Anna Hreho,
Hooking, aged 81"
on Friday morning Miss Mary Cas-
per, of Lest Greek, accompanied by her
father and a friend, presented them
selves at the district clerks Office for
a marriage license in favor Of this
same Mike Klobnoek Of Lost Creek,
and herself.
Clerk Davis called to his aid Coun-
ty Attorney Dewitt, and after inquiring
into the circumstances requested De-
putty Sheriff Fry to bring Klobnock
from the Jail to the district clerks
office. After talking with the prisoner
the county attorney learned that the
former license was at the home Of the
priest and that the prisoner was not
able to get married on account of his
arrest. After seeing the Casper girl
at the Office, Klobnock thought it
would be healthier for him if he mar
ried the Casper girl and so the clerk
proceeded to make out a new license,
the first one to be recalled and can
ceIled, and all expected to see, the mat
ter settled with neatness and dispatch.
The father Of the girl gave his consent
to the arrangement and it was suppos-
ed that the friend would vouch for the
groom. Upon being sworn in accord
ing to form he responded "NO, sir, ~
and then explained that, while he knew
that the groom was not married, he
did not know that he was q years old.
Here was another stand Off and it re-
mains for the groom's friend Of Thurs
day to come back to the scene and
vouch for the new license, as he did
for the first me. 1t was afterwards.
learned that the Casper girl is the one
involved in the seduction case and 1t
was hoped that the case could be set
tied by the parties marrying, as other
wise the prisoner would be held for
indictment before the grand jury of
the February term Of the district
court. The settlement Of the mixup is
now pending.
