Twenty Years in the Pententlary.
o. f1arrel Continued. Thornton Tried.

Sidney Harrell and Henry Morgan
the white men charged with burning
the town of Preston, were arraigned
in Webster superior court Thursday
morning.
Henry Morgan was first placed upon
trial, the state electing to sever the
prisoners. Fifty jurors were disquali-
fed before jury was secured Meth
err side introduced great deal of cyl
dence. The state relied on a confess
sion of the defendant, outside of which
there was very little direct testimony.
Morgan introduced no testimony, and

that the alleged confession was un-
der duress and with q rope about his
neck. He said that he was in fear of
great bodily harm at the time.
The trial of Morgan was concluded

by Judge Littleiohn to twenty years
in the penitentiary, the limit of the
law.

federate, Sidney Barrell, was placed

THREE STORIES HIGH
Dawson to Have Another Big
Structure. First State Bank
to Improve Its Building.

For several years it has been re-
ported that the First State Bank
would erect handsome structure for
its own use further UP town, but The
News learns that this idea has about
been abandoned, and that the bank
will improve its present place of bust
ness on south Main street.
1t is understood that the house now
occupied by the bank will be converted
into an imposing structure, and will
in all probability increase the number
of three-storY buildings that already
give Dawson the appearance OF q
thriving and up-to-date city.
The new building, when completed,
will be one of the handsomest and best
equipped banking houses in the state.
