IN THE GILLESPIE TRIAL AT
RISING SUN.
A LARGE CROWD PRESENT
At the Session of Court Yesterday
Witnesses for the Defense
Examined.
A LARGE CROWD PRESENT

Rising Sun, December 2S.-Al-
though the thermometer along the
Ohio was down to ten degrees below
zero, and stiff Arctic breezes were
blowing down over the hills, there
was a larger movement than usual
toward the Ohio county court house
this morning, and the high tide mark
OF the crowds attending the second
trial of James Gillespie for the mur-
der Of Elizabeth, his twin sister, was
pushed up several notches today.
This was the result of a general
belief that Mrs. Belle Seward Or Mr..
and Mrs. Myron Barbour, or posi-
bly, Gillespie himself would be put On
the witness stand. The defense, how
ever opened with several witnesses
who testified that Elizabeth, appar-
entity without any reason, ceased
speaking to them. By these witnesses
the Edefense sought to bring out that
Elizabeth Gillespie was of bad dis
position. The defense also introduce
ed several witnesses to establish the
fact that two isolated footprints in
the asnow were found the morning
after the shooting at a fence near
thesalley in the rear Of the Gillespie
house, through which the defense in

DR.. Cowan Testifies.

DR.. L. C. >Cowan, on the witness
stand yesterday afternoon, testified
that Mrs. Seward is very nervous,
the result of having had spotted fe-
yer when a child; that he was called
to attend her the Sunday after the
murder, the morning of the day of
Elizabeth s funeral and that he
found her in bed suffering with fever
and heart trouble. Senator Kittin-
ger went at Cowan vigorously and
brought out that he had been part
ner of old DIR. Gillespie; that, al
though there had been considerable
shooting at black birds around the
neighborhood for some time, the
noise of none of those shots had
wrought her to the excited state as
did the one that inflicted the mortal
wound on Elizabeth Gillespie, when
Mrs. Seward jumped up and ran out
of the home of Jane Boyle, crying
"Some one is shot! Oh, where s

DECLINE OF
SPINDLE TOP

The Oil Investors Journal, of
Beaumont, Tex, has made care
full canvass of the once famous
Spindle Top oil field, which re-
veals some very striking results.
On the last of June, there were SO
wells being pumped in the terri
tory made famous in 1901 by the
strike of Captain A. V. Lucas, and
the aggregate production was but
!7,1OO barrels a day. In addition
there were II wells that were be-
ing drilled. Of the wells that
were pumping SO were owned by
five large producing companies,
which controlled 5,135 barrels, or
about 1870 of the total output.
At least 600 wells all told have
been drilled on the 200 acres that
comprises the entire area of the
Spindle Top oil field. Nearly half
of these were drilled on the Hogg-
Swayne tract of % acres, where
only four wells are now yielding
oil. The remainder have been
pulled out and abandoned. The
J. NJ. Guffey is the largest pro
ducing company in the Spindle
Top field at present, having 80
wells with total yield of 1900
barrels a day. The average yield
of all the wells is less than u bar
rels a day. A few years ago,
when the oil promoters were get
ting in their work in behalf OF
Texas oil companies, $4,000 and
10000 barrel wells appeared to he
common affairs Of everyday nap
penings. The entire output OF
the Texas oil fields at the present
time is less than one days yield
of the Lucas gusher in January,
1901.

bly, the most vexatious one before
Council, and / must congratulate
the City Physician and Health
Committee on the competency of
their performance in the matter.
There is now little complaint, and
this little on account OF certain
people who have no regard for
decency or their neighbors. l am
probably showing these Violators
of the health ordinance more len
iency than l should, but it is my
policy to give them every oppor-
tunity to reform before invoking
the law. The term for reforma-
ton has now expired, and all fu-
ture violations will be punished.
Just as soon as the city is finan-
cially able a crematory is to be
built. This construction is deferr-
ing solely to finances.
I would recommend that the
City Scavenger be made Dog
Catcher with full authority to
impound all unlicensed CANNES.
The majority of dog owners are
not paying the dog tax.
I would recommend that the
city establish a pound to meet the
ordinance that requires it. Many
complaints are made to me Of
chickens, horses and cows running
at large to the injury of gardens
and lawns. This complaint is es-
pecially insistent on the hill.
I would recommend that bust
ness and residence buildings be
numbered to correct the def
cheney and incorrectness that now
exists in that direction. The num-
boring is very imperfect and, as [
understand it, perfection in this
particular is necessary to a con-
tinuance of the free delivery sys-
tenn as per a recent ruling OF the
Postofice Department.
I would recommend that as
soon as finances permit Council
liquidates the residue of indebt-
edness on outstanding orders. We
wisely started our administration
by paying $4,000 on this account,
and as soon as our income from
taxes begins we shall be able to
clear the city from this harassing
interest-bearing debt. 1t is GER
tainly poor policy to be paying in
terest on Indebtedness when
there is non-interest- bearing mon
ey lying idle in the treasury.
The foregoing are the only rec
ommendation that l care to make
at the present time. A number
of very desirable improvements
have suggested themselves to my
mind, but l shall defer an express
sion regarding them until our
debts are paid.
Respectfully submitted,
LYNN KIRKLAND,
Mayor.

MAYORS MESSAGE
To the Honorable Members of
Council of The City of Sisters

vile:
Gentlemen In obedience ia
Section 5 of can ordinance con-
corning the powers and duties OF
the Mayor of the city," which
reads as follows: cit shall be the
duty of the Mayor to submit to the
Council on or before the first
Z meeting in July annually hereaf-
ter, a communication in relation
to the city generally, with such
recommendations concerning the
same as he may deem needful for
the welfare of the city" l here
with make such recommendations
as I consider advisable or requir-
ed.
In the first place, I desire to
generally congratulate members
of Council and other city officers
on the efficient manner in which
they have handled municipal af-
fairs, and the disposition shown
toward an economical, and, at the
same time, liberal administration.
In very few instances is there
evidence of any deviation from
the purpose to supervise the
eity's interests in a way that will
shut out the opportunity for adj
verse criticism.
One matter that should be
brought to your attention at once
is the condition in which l find
the new city ordinances. The pre-
cedihg Council, shortly before the
present administration, ordered
the revision, codifcation and
printing of the city charter and
it's amendments and the unintel-
ligible mass of ordinances, in
many instances without seal or
subscription, which have through
happy chance served as law OF
this city ever since their passage.
The revised municipal statutes
were enacted by the preceding
Council, and it was ordered that
they be printed under the dlrec-
ton, of the then City Attorney
and City Clerk. The copy was
in the hands of the printer when
the present Council took its seat
It now transpires that the orig
inal and only new draft OF laws
submitted to old Council was
without incorporation into the or,
dinance book of the city, turned
over to the printer without re,
keipt therefor and in its original
form. This copy, still IN tne
printer's hands, has been cut ano
mutilated to meet the convenl'
ence of the composition, one OF the
most important of the ordinances

If there is one department Of the

January 10, 1867, Commander Schu-

the outrage with the warship Wach-

Commander Schufeldt was unable

count Of ice, but he anchored at q
point fifty miles to the south and es-
tabRshed communication with the dis

begged the Wachusett to leave. After
sending a letter to the King the COM
mander was compelled to return to
Chefoo, having accomplished nothing.
A report reached Chefoo a year later
that two survivors Of the General
Sherman were in confinement in
Korea, and Commander Febiger, of
the Shenandoah, was sent to inves-
tigate. He met with no more success
than his predecessor, and after having
sailed up the Pingyang River for some

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

ASAAAS Y AASs
No. 1 fruit put up in good shape is
the best kind of an advertisement for
the grower.
Cult1vating and pruning are the most
important items during the first years
of an orchard.
It is none too, early to look up your
sprayer, for you have got to spray or
lose your fruit trees.
Many trees and plants fail to make
a satisfactory start through lack Of
proper pruning at the start.
Less acreage and better care would
be a good policy for some people to
adopt in their fruit growing opera
tons.

stationed 5000 Korean troops armed
with matchlockS.
AS the foremost launches turned a
bend in the river opposite the fort
they perceived another fort on the
mainland so situated that its fire
would converge with that from the
island battery. At the same moment
the guns in both forts opened fire
on the launches and poured a hail of
shot round them that lasted for some
ten minutes. BY that time the Palos
and Monocacy had come up to the
launches and with a few shots from
their guns silenced the forts. The
boats then withdrew down the river

party was wounded. This was due to
the fact that the Korean guns were
aimed to sweep a certain point in the
river, and as the launches did not pass
that point they escaped with COMPARE

Ten days later, on June 10, the boatG
