The Shamrock did not Cross the finish

in the final rnce and was beaten so badly
that after she missed the committee boat

to purchases. If the Gould crop report
due on Thursday next, shows that corn

The verdict in the Laura Blggar
case demonstrates anew the old say
ing, The Almighty alone knows
what trial jury will do, and He is
uncertain This well-known actress
was indicted for conspiracy in at
tempting to show that she was entitled
to a liberal share in the estate OF a
wealthy man named Bennett as his
widow. With her were indicted the
man who claimed to have per-
formed the marriage ceremony and
the physician who alleged that he
had been present at the birth OF a
child. of which Bennett was the re-
pnted father. To the surprise OF
everyone, the jury acquitted Miss
Biogar and found the men guilty.
Such a verdict ought to be set aside
for its arrant inconsistency. How
the woman could possibly be inno-
cent and the men guilty will puzzle
anyone to determine.
