Free and d. the jury ].
Gets Roasted.

After being on trial for week the
case Of Frank Coburn, charged With
having stolen five horses from George
Barry and his son Will, went to the.
Jury at 1880 a. m. on Wednesday,.
After ten and a half hours verdict
Of acquittal was arrived at. It Is said
that when the jury retired and took
the first ballot they stood eight for
acquittal and four for conviction.
Whatever may be said Of this result,
it is certainly great relief to the
family of Frank Coburn. "A better
jury could not have been selected,
and 1t can safely be said the case was
ably handled on both sides. 1t is
especially noted that L. T. Van Slyke,
of council for the state won his spurs
in this case, establishing a reputation
as trial lawyer not often secured by
so young a practitioner.
The next case taken up was the
| trial Of Charles Baldwin, the young
man brought down from North Dakota
charged with being implicated in the
theft Of Senator Koepsel's team last
fifaH. ]. M. Lawson defended him.
The jury returned a verdict of not
guilty and the Judge, upon receiving
1.-THE verdict, rendered the jury such q
roast as Is rarely handed out by q

but a working place must be provided
for them and the unseen myriads Of
them will do their beneficial work
This working place must be pro-.
vided with septic tank and filter,
beds. The word septic is defined as
the power to promote putrifaction.
The solids contained in sewage must
be hastened to the stage of decompo-
sition. The sewage must flow through
this tank, which is walled-up exca-
walton in the ground, and in short
time all solid matter contained in it
becomes putrid by action Of the bac-
terra. The solids thus acted upon be-
come soluable and the constituent
elements are liberated Some go with
the outflow to the filter beds and
Others return to the atmosphere,
These bacteria are of numerous
family. The natural increase of.:one
in twenty-four hours is estimated at
one million. Many hands make light
work and if the room and the sewage
at the right temperature are furnished
they will perform feat in accordance
with the simple rules of nature, but as
wonderful rs a miracle. When the
efluent reaches the filter beds another
crew Of swarming myriads attack it
and put the finishing touch on the
publication process so well begun by
their kin in the tank. Then the tiles
under the filter bed will carry out a
! sample Of Adams ale. infinitely purer
than the water in most surface wells.
Happy the farmer who can have that
sparkling rill flow through his farm
lands.

This family are known the world
over. They have appeared in all the

For five seasons in this country they
were the big act with the AL G.. Fields

and agility are supreme. They lead,
others follow. Included in the Faust
family are the smallest acrobats ever
born to live. Master Ray Faust is
such a tiny morsel that critics in
speaking of him have said: 'sHe is a
mere speck, scarcely making shadow
in the sunshine"

Why Ne Left the Form.

why he left the farm. The close Of his
letter could with equal truth have been
written by not nfcw other men: Lastly,

farm because | had no better sense. /

YoWol Girl SUlcOded.

YoU04 Girl Shielded.
The community three miles southeast
OF Barnett was thrown into a fever Of
excitement last Thursday afternoon by
the announcement that the 17-year-old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. James Smith
had committed suicide.
The case is q sad one and the facts a.
obtained take the form OF the sensational.
Miss Smith and her younger brother left
home with "A team litched to a wagon for
the purpose OF taking the wagon o their
brother. n law named Wolf living a mile
and 4 half distant.
This task was completed and they
started back home with the horses. but
the young lady told her brother to take
the horses around the Dad AZ she pre-
ferred walking through the fields by a
near route. The boy reached home with
the horses but found that his sister had
not put in an appearance, Toward even.
ing the family became uneasy owing to
her continued sbsencc and a search was
instituted.
Members Of the family started through
the felds in the direction she was sup.
posed to have come and to their horror
found her body in q creek about 200 yards
from Wolfs home.
The singular feature Of the terrible a.
fair ia that the deed was deliberately
planned. The young lady had tied her
clothing about her lower limbs and was
founl with her hands crossed and her
head on her arms beneath the water
while the lower portion Of her body and
clothing we're floating on top. The water
in the creek was about waist deep. which
required her own nerve and energy to
hold her head under the surface until her
lungs were flied and she became ex-
hausted.
The alarm was at once given aud will.
ing hands lent aid and removed her life
less body 10 her home. No cause can be
assigned for the rash deed. The victim
was of a jolly disposition and while on
the GRAND had joked and j1llied neigh
bors along the road as they passed in the
wagon.
The only incident that could be re.
by the family was that during the
morning p'eviou, to suicide Mrs. Smith.
the girls mother, had taken her to task
some small mistake the girl had
made in cooking. AT that time she re-
marked that she would never cook any
nor As III. incident was of no serious
matter no attention was paid TO it until
the true situation was presented to the
parents.
The family is one Of the most respected
in the ncighbofhood and Mr.. Smith ia
almost beside himself over The terrible
affair, and the family have the most sin.
ccre sympathy Of everybody in the neigh
borhood because Of the unfortunate trag-
