Two attempts to prosecute for failure to
clean snow from sidewalks were made by
Police Court Prosecutor Hack during the
heavy snowfalls of January. but both of
these attempts proved bootless, as the
court ruled against the city in both of them
The fine assessed against Reed yesterday
morning was the first penalty ever in

the anti-snow ordinance from the day of
its passage to the present
The Journals crusade for clean sidewalks
promises to bring even better results, as
four new warrants for violators of the anti
snow ordinance were served by the police
last evening and three more will be put
into the hands of the police by Prosecutor
Hack for service this morning. These seven
warrants include two on weil-knOwn physi-
clans of the city. and one on Frank Osborn,
custodian of the courthouse, for allowing
the snow TO remain on the walk on the west

II is thought by the city officials that
the moral effect of the fning of Reed and
the wholesale serving OF warrants, some

toward giving cleaner sidewalks and
toward educating the people of the city to
looking at the anti-snow ordinance in some

paneled. The entire day was taken up with
the introduction of evidence. Among those
examined were physicians who had at
tended Terrell, other prisoners az the iail
Sheriff johnson and other officials Terrell
was in the courtroom during the entire
day, but apparently paid no attention to the
proceedings.
The States attorneys endeavored to show
that IerreiIs present condition of apparent
insanity might have been produced by pow
erful drugs. There was n mild sensation
when DIR. l.. II. Cook testified that ne
believed that part of TerrelIs insanity was
feigned. The jury retired at o'clock this
evening and was out only thirty-five min
utes. 1t was instructed by the Judge to
find verdict as 10 whether Terrell had
become insane when he was found euilfv
OF murder by the first jury in December
He said their finding would have no effect
on the first verdict The jury's finding was
that Terrell vas insane at the present time
and that he had become insane since the
trial. The jury was then dismissed and
court adjourned until O'Clock Saturday
morning.
The investigation by the jury was held
by Judge Smith in order 10 advise himself
as To the sanity or insanity of Terrell in
order that he might know whether TO pass
sentence ON him. IL Terrell is 10 be sent
to asylum for the insane a regular
insanity inquest must be held before a
justice of the peace and two physicians.
This probably Will be done on Saturday
If this were not done Terrell would have TO
be kept here and treated in the Wells
county jail.

NOTABLE EULOGY BY

lows:
1--WE are gathered together here to-day
in this house of God for the last service of
benedictiOn over the body of our dis
tinguished citizen, our kindly neighbor and
our beloved friend. The Nation has hon
ored him with its civic function at the cap
ital of the United States; the common
wealth of Ohio, by the hands of her Gov
ernor has received him back into her
and keeping; the city has stood silently
sorrowing at his departure And now the
holy church would commit his body 10
the earth from whence II came and his
soul unto the righteous Savior who
deemed IL and who loved IL with an in
finite affection. Ii Is not the time or
place for extended eulOgy and praise; such
words will be fitly spoken by those we'll
equipped for such a privilege. But there
are certain qualities and characteristics
of this man highly regarded by all
Glasses OF people that ought assuredly TO
receive recognition in the midst of his
friends and associates. and az this solemn
hour. The testimonies that have been
given from many and varied sources blend
together in a common strain and harmony
they speak OF his high integrity. of his
infiextble and dauntless purpose and his
tender. true heart Their composite re-
sultant seems 10 portray with unmistak-
able outline and detail the features of his
human service.

see his face no more. But we may each of
go forth into the life God hath granted
with added enthusiasm for our tasks
and tolls since we have noted how worthily
he did his duty for others: and we realize
that the world he served is not unmindful
of his greatness and goodness nor ungrate-
ful for what he strove after and for what
he accomplished.
KEYNOTE OF HIS LIFE.

at Kenyon College last year when the de-
