RECORD OF COURTS

Testimony of a somewhat sensational
nature was given in the criminal court
first division, yesterday, by Reedus Hor-
ton. negro boy aged years, in the
case of Ike Horton, his father, on trial
on charge of murder.

general row with her. The case was
taken up yesterday before Judge weav-
err and occupied the attention of the
court all day. The jury last night
brought in verdict of murder in the
second degree. and fixed the punishment
at Imprisonment for twenty years at hard
| labor
When Reedus Horton was called to the
witness stand, Judge Weaver questioned
| him in order to determine whether or no
he could act as a witness. The boys an.
swers were made in a Straightforward
/ manner and after he had informed thu
court that he knew he would be sent t
/ Jail If he did not tell the truth, Judg,
Weaver announced that the boy could b,
examined by the attorneys.
The boy was asked few preliminary
questions, and was finally told to tel
the jury everything that happened tn,
day his mother was killed. He did no
hesitate or appear to have difficulty IL
remembering the circumstances
He said he was standing on the outside
| by the door, peeping into the room. IL,
heard his father ask his mother to pu
on his shoes for him. His mother re
fused, and his father then beat her witt
a strap. Then his father took a plsto
! from trunk, pointed it at his mother
and fired one shot. His mother fell t,
/ the floor.
| Although cross-questioned vigorously
| the boy did not contradict himself In an,
material manner, and finally he was re
Elieved. A large number of witnesses
were examined in the case.

Buck Fever.

Capting Bill and high privates
Rome, Ed and Boy marched forth
one morning to attack the antlered
beasts of the forest. They rea :hed
the breastworks of a reservation
and were about to scale them when
10 in plain view about 80 rods
distant stood a trio of the game they
sought. Halt" hoarsely whis-
-pered Capting Bill, "don't stir nor
shoot till I go up to the barn and
get bigger gum" Away he sped
and, remembering what "Old Hi"
used to do in such cases, hustled
back with the gun that could send
bullet "ping" into the heart of the
biggest buck in the territory at 80
rods. But alas the deer had
quietly walked on out of sight of
the obedient high privates. Then
Capting Bill with wild swing of
his arms yelled, "Why in hi
didn't you shoot 'em when they
were standing right before your
eyes?' And a more disguised Off
Ger would have been hard to find.

THE LITTLE Blue SPOOL

There was once little blue shuttle in a great
loom that was weaving some beautiful silk cloth of
many colors You have seen loom,have you not?
lou remember the long of silk threads called
the warp; and the shuttles were spools of different
colored threads The little spools shot through
between these threads, from right to left from left
to right, making the wool that bound the whole into
"A firm cloth But one day little shuttle, or spool
tnat carried certain shade of blue thread said to
himself; There isn't very much blue that l can see
In this silk. ! don't believe I'm of much use any
way, and I'll just not work any more" And he
didn't And when the silk was taken from the loom
1t was found that the silk was ruined for there were
great gaps in it where the little blue spool should
have run through
we all have part in the great loom of life: and.
IKE the little blue spool that spoiled the beautiful
SILK, we each must do little share of work or
spoil the whole web-The Normal Instructor
