Damaging Evidence in the Trial Of
Caleb Powers.

Georgetown, KY, Aug. 2O.-In the
trial of Caleb Powers the common
wealth, over objections of defense, Sc
cured permission to introduce the wit
ness Henry Broughton, who ran away
and had to be captured. Broughton
told Of going to Frankfort at the in
stance of Powers and others with the
mountain army of Jan. rs, 1900. After
arriving at Frankfort he met Powers
and the defendant asked him to give
the names Of several men, one of
whom could be relied on to do the kill
ing, or to ''do the work"
He gave Powers the names of Frank
Cecil. Zach Steel and Anthony
Broughton as good men to do the shoot
ing. Witness returned home the
same day he went to Frankfort and did
not go there again. He said he ex-
pressed great pleasure on learning
that Goebel had been killed. The de-
tense laid the foundation for contra
dieting Broughton and also to show
that on Jan %. 1900. witness was
drunk and not responsible.

The origin of the fire Isl and will al
ways be mystery. Mr.. Fridlund be-
lieves it was the work of an incendi-

1t is not often the people of Lester
Prairie and vicinity have the good
fortune to hear so good musical pro-
gram as that rendered by the colored
wonder, J. Hayes Robinson, at the City
Hall last Monday evening,
Mr.. Robinson certainly received the
heartiest ovation eyer given to one
performer on the stage of this town.
He is a brilliant man dolinist, an
accomplished celloist and his work
on the violin was very good. He was
asked to repeat his Mandolin Solo,
Nearer My God To Thee" which was
probably the very best ever heard
here. His vocal work brought-forth
salvos of applause, as did his work on
the cello. If Mr.. Robinson ever comes
to Lester Prairie again, the capacity
of the Hall will surely be tested
