at Bondville. in the town OF VIM

punishment for this offense is seven
wears or $1,000, fine. The maximum
penalty is Imprisonment for lfe Inc
verdict of manslaughter shows that
the state failed to prove that the
family quarrel on February q caused
any malice in the tragedy of the fol-
lowing day. The respondents case
was based on self-defense, and while
it was shown that Jay pursued nus
brother with hostile intent. the latter
exceeded his privilege of defense In
the eyes of the law. The case Will
probably go. to supreme court on ex-
ceptions.

by Thomas F. Ryan and the three
trustees The only sure measure OF
relief. he says. is by complete mu-

the stock to be paid for. at a rate
