VICTORY FOR DEFENSE.

When Judge Morris ruled, in the
circuit court at Georgetown, on We'd
nesday, that the second 100 men sum-
moned from Harrison county as
jurors in the Powers case, had been
improperly summoned, on motion of
the defense, and discharged the men,
it was decided victory for the de-
fendant. 1t has been the contention
of the defense, in every one of the
trials, that the juries were packed
against the. defendant, and this de-
cision upholds that contention.

BIG" OTIS UNDER THE LIGHT
AGAIN.

M Frankfort's premier desperate and
sl-round bad man, big" Otis Evans,
mas been heard from again, after dis
appearing from the public eye for
several months, presumably having
oeen alternating in one of the numer-
Gus caves which he calls home dur
ing the interim. He was arrested at
Midway Monday for having committed
a series of burglaries in the sur
rounding country, and appears to be
in for some rather rough usage at the
hands Of the law.
Some lawyers contend, though, that
as he has been declared insane by
IA Franklin county Jury, and COM
mitted to the asylum as a lunatic,
that he is now immune, as it were
from punishment for whatever Of
Tense that he may be guilty of, and
that he has, in fact, been granted a
license to steal, or otherwise do just
Us he pleases. Other learned legal
ybts state that such view of the
er is a nonsensical one, and that
Acertainly amenable to the pro-
of the Criminal Code, and

ntion is an interesting one,
srtheless, and the outcome will

OPEN WINTER, MAYBE.

Most of the weather prophets, who
seem to hit the mark now and then,
are of the opinion that the approach
ing winter will be an open one, and
are giving all kinds of reasons why
they so believe. A western prophet
states that the best sign in the world
is to observe the actions of the beaver
and muskrats, which, he declares,
have made no preparation this season
for hard winter, though, when one
such is approaching, they get very
busy.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that
the prophets are right for once. as
the human family in the latitude of
Kentucky are vitally interested in the
weather of the colder months of the
year, the sudden changes to severe
cold and sleety conditions being al
ways eminently conducive to sickness
especially is this the case in so far
as it relates to elerly persons or
those cursed with weak constitu-
tion.

third story above the surface, and

Tilt LAST STORY
 WAS A TRUE ONE
Ralph Ortega's Promise to Pay For
 the Horse That Died on His Hands.

The last story told by Ralph Ortega regarding the fate of the horse of his employer. John Northcutt. was yes terday morning proved to be true. When he first reported the affair he said the horse had been taken from him by a masked highwayman. Later under pressure. when it was found that that was not true he accounted for the absence of the animal in an other way. That story was hardly more reasonable than the first, after which on Wednesday night the young man admitted that he had ridden the horse to death and was afraid to make q report of 1t.
 Yesterday morning he took Deputy Sheriff Adams to the place on the desert where the dead horse lay. Nearby were the saddle. the blanket and the rest of the outfit.
 IL was found that the boy had considerable feeling for the horse for when he believed it was going to die he took the saddle off of il and car ried it a long distance while he led the animal to a place where the car cass would not likely be found. II is by no means certain that the boy was responsible for the death of the. horse

 Mir. Northcutt was in town yester- day morning and manifested a great deal of feeling for the boy. to whom he had become very much attached in the last two years. He was desirOus of taking him back home but Mrs. Northcutt had lost confidence in him.
 There was nothing that could be done with him but he promised Justice JOhnstone that he would go to work and pay Mir. NOrthcutt as he could out of his earnings. He had been getting $20 a month at Northcutt's and s3 a month for his services while he was school. He had already pre- pared himself for the high school.
