Il SHORT CASE.

Worcester had an amusing trial by
jury on Monday when the case of State
VS.. Henry King, charged with assault
and battery ON the person of his neigh
Dor, Anna Richardson, was before the
Justice court. The incidents which
led to the trial occurred in June, 1900.
Mr.. King and Anna Richardson
owned adjoining land and her claim
was that Kings cattle got into her
meadow land doing considerable dam
age. Her story was a long one but
condensed it appeared about as fol-
lows: The discussion over the COWS
led to a scrap in which she was struck,
choked, trodden upon and otherwise
mistreated to an extent that resulted in
some broken ribs and other severe in
juries. The alleged damage was done
ON June ID, 1900, and SINCE that time
repeated efforts have been made to get
the case before court but no previous
attempt was successful. Judge Wood
ward presided, States Attorney Bailey
prosecuted and John Wing appeared
for the defendant. Mr.. Kings testi-
mony entirely discredited the State q
witnesses and the jury was out less
than two minutes, returning ver-
dict for the defendent.

AS TO THAT "EYESORE'

Writing of O. H. Davenport's COM
munication in the Journal of Monday
reference was made to the reputed"
enforcement of the license law in
Brattleboro in the two weeks which
followed Daveuport's letter in the
Phoenix and the resulting improve
ment in conditions there, a change
which so filled the writers soul with
joy and satisfaction that he was in
clined to give over his doubts and re-
cant his criticisms as to the wisdom
and efficiency of the license law. BY
way of penance for even brief in
slant of staggering faith, Mr.. Daven-
port pitched into prohibition with in
vective and denunciation after the
manner of old campaign days. And
now comes a personal letter in which
the writer, having observed the Jour
nal episode, gives confirmation to the
shadow of az doubt that infested the
editorial mind as TO fidelity to fact
and circumstance in Mr.. Daven-
ports roseate portraiture of the bliss
full results of a fortnight of license
experience - the real thing. The
writer says:
"Mr. Davenport's claim that the
conditions that were such an eyesore
when | wrote have now, in less than
a fortnight, disappeared almost who'll
ly, must provoke a smile even on the
part of the license advocate who re-
sides in Brattleboro, and will be re-
garded as astonishing news by all.
l could give my own personal observa-
ton in refutatiOn of the claim, but
content myself with quoting from a
note written last week by a lady who
thought the opposition to the license
law too strenuous last fall. She writes !:
Il cannot travel on an evening car
without enconntering two or three
drunken men; drove to the
street yesterday and saw fvel' She
also says, L fear the people wall get
used to the situation before next
spring Perhaps Brother Davenport
is getting used to the situation to
such an extent that what was an
'eyesore' has ceased to be such even
in this short time"
The truth of history seems to re-
quire that the story of events and ex-
periences be impartially told. The
Journal therefore takes the liberty to
print the foregoing paragraph from a
lettec written not for publication.

OREGON DISASTER.

The town of Heppner, Oregon, was
almost totally destroyed by flood
on Sunday evening. The town is stu
ated ON Willow Greek, ordinarily
small stream, but terrific rain storm
and cloud burst caused the creek to
rise rapidly. and without warning a
wall of water nearly twenty feet in
height rushed down the valley des-
troying all that portion of the town
situated on the bottom lands. The
number of dead is in the vicinity of
300. Leslie Mattook. young man,
proved himself hero by riding ahead
of the food to Lexington, nine miles
away, and warning the inhabitants
there in time to save their lives. Aid
was hurried from all the country
around, and the care of the living and
the burial of the dead were provided
for. Floods which caused great loss
of property are reported from Mon
tana, Texas aud other western States.

SER TIAN RETOLUTION.

For a week the eyes of the world
have been turned toward Servia and
its capital, for within the
past seven days the dynasty that ruled
that country fol the greater part of a
century has been wiped out of existence
and a new king placed upon the
throne. On Thursday morning of last
week party of officers and soldiers
visited the royal palace and after
brief parley assassinated King AleXan-
der and Queen Draga. Several of the
kings ministers arc members of the
The bodies of the king and queen
were quietly buried by night. The
assassination was part of deep laid
plot to remove from the throne an I'M
popular ruler and his more unpopular
wife. No sooner had the deed been
accomplished than Prince Peter Kara
georgevitch was by popular acclaim
declared king. His formal election
to that position, however, did not come
until Monday when the two bodies
which compose the Servian Legisla-
ture met and unanimously chose
Prince Peter as king. The new king
is in Geneva, Switzerland, where he
has lived for some time. He has ac-
cepted the honor and will soon leave
for Belgrade, to ascend the throne.
This is the brief story of revolution
which for rapidity of action and thor
oughness in accomplishing the desired
end has rarely been equalled in the
history OF the world. In another col
umn will be found more complete
description of Servia and her tragedy.

used to fill the timid with terror, and
it is true that the storm did perman-

already been said, it produced more
fun and laughter than perhaps any
thing that had ever happened in Ire
land. Even some of those who had
lost most of their hay and grain by
the storm were fullest Of fun and
