NAL and turned into the yard of the
blacksmith shop near by where the
wagon upset throwing Mr.. Durham on a
pile of wood. he sustained quite severe
injuries, being cut and bruised badly
about the face and hands and receiving
bad shaking up. Fortunately It was not
of q very serious nature and he is doing
as we'll as could be expected. The horse
cleared himself from the wagon, and ran
to the yard at the house of Jacob Curtis
where she was cared for, having received
no injury. Luckily Mr.. Tuell's loss was
confined to broken harness and wagon

Sentenced to One Year In Jail.

During q lull in the business of the
court Thursday afternoon, Judge Wis.
we'll addressed Mr.. Brown, the foreman
of the jury which had convicted Earring.
ton, saying,
"Mr. Brown, l understood from you
that there was something the jury wish
ed to say in relation to the Harrington
case"
Mr.. Brown rose and replied briefly,
saying that In their deliberations on the
case in their room, it had seemed to
them that considering the age of the re-
spondent and the circumstances of the
case, it had seemed to them that the
ends of justice would be sufficiently
served II only a Jail sentence was impos-
ed.
Judge Wiswell said that he would
take the matter under consideration.
Friday morning at the opening of court
Harrington was brought in, and County
Attorney Barnes moved for sentence.
The court asked Mr.. Dyer, the re-
spondent's counsel, il he wished to say
anything. Mr.. Dyer replied very briefly,
asking that Jail sentence might be con-
sidered sufficient, especially in view OF
the fact that veterans who have served q
term In state prison are not allowed to
re-enter the soldiers home. The i'm.
position of state prison sentence would
therefore mean that the old man would
be left at it's completion without any
home to 20 to, and would have to be
under the care of some town.
Judge Wiswell stated that he had con-
sidered the matter fully, and had decided
to impose only Jail sentence. He was
influenced in this largely by the repre-
sensations of the jury, as we'll as by the
considerations suggested by the re-
spondent's counsel. He then imposed q
sentence of one year in the county jail.
harrington has already been in Jail
since the first week in April, SO that the
sentence will make him in all about q
year and a half imprisonment. The
lightness of the sentence imposed Is
generally pleasing to the public.

arranged for two years course In

Unusual excitement and fearful fore
bodings occurred not many evenings
since on lower Elm Street, where usual
ly quiet and good will to men abide. In
one of these homes resides respected
lady of mature years who is monarch OF
all her realm. But on the above named
evening she became certain there was q
man in the house under the bed or
somewhere hidden away. As she did
not choose such companionship she de-
cided to blow the old tin horn. This
aroused the neighborhood and called to
her help several gallant men near by.
1t was some time before the good lady
could be convinced that her fears we're
groundless. The fright, however, ex-
tended to other female forms, they find
ing it difficult to disabuse their minds
of the idea that man was under their
beds or hid away in some dark corner
of the home. Such Is life.
