GOT A VERDICT
Jury I'm Case of Earl johnson vs. ON
cor Mack of Lowell gave him
Judgement of 81, 300.

In the circuit court at Grand Rap
ids yesterday the jury that had been
empaneled to try the case of Earl
johnson VS.. Officer Mack for shooting
Johnson in a street row in that city
some nine months ago after deliber-
ating on the facts in the case for over
six hours, brought in verdict in fa-
vor of the plaintiff for damages to the
amount of 81, 200
This verdict constitutes fine VIC
tory for Dwight Sheldon of this city
and Mack Nichols of Ionia who were
attorneys for Johnson, as they had
arrayed against them in the legaI
battle such an array OF legal talent
as attorneys Mcknight. McAllister,
Watt and Sprigget of Grand Rapids
With such brilliant victories as these
to his credit, the people of Ionia
county can surely make no mistake
in choosing him as their next prose
cutting attorney.
The case against the saloon keepers
of Lowell who sold liquor to Ear
while he was a minor and caused in
| to become intoxicated, as a result o
| which the shooting occurred, will be

Presbyterian Church In the town Of
New Castle, Del, was recently tried be-
fore the presbytery ''for un-Chrlstlan and
unmlnisterial conduct The first and
principal OF the charges was that he
had violated the constitution OF the
church and the confession of faith, and
had preached unsound doctrine when he
delivered sermon on June last "in-
tended to excite the people to lynch one
George White for tie alleged murder Of
Miss Mabel Bishop" The fourth count
charged disrcspect to the civil courts, the

every one that he is only doing to-day,
when he is not candidate. precisely
what he did four years ago, when he
