JURORS APPLAUD VERDICT
Defendant is Discharged and Statutes
the jury and Hurries From the
Court Room-Jury Favored
Defendant From Start

The long chain of successes for the
district attorney in the Circuit Court
was broken Thursday morning when
the jury in the case of the State VS..
Homer Royce charged with mall
feasance as deputy sheriff returned
verdict finding the defendant mot
guilty as~charged in the informa ton.
For Gig hteen long hours the jury de-
bated over the verdict and when it
was finally reached there was long
round of applause heard in the jury
room adjoining and the men who had
been watching for the result of the
case received the first intimation of
the verdict.
1t was an anxious half hour for the
defendant and his friends for while
he felt that the applause from the
jury room indicated an acquittal he
was not assured until the verdict had
been read in open court. Before the
clerk had completed the reading of
the verdict the former Deputy Sheriff
had saluted the jury and had started
to leave the court house.
The jury got the case just before
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon, and it
is stated that from the first ballot a
large number of the jurorsChad been
in favor of acquitting the defendant.
The jury stood for some time, it is
alleged, ten for acquitta1 and two for
conviction. All through the night
these two men are alleged to have
hung the jury. During the night the
jurors became restless, and at one
time the bailiff in charge of the Jury
was asked for a deck Eof cards in
order that the jurors might while
away the slowly passing hours, but
this request was denied them.
This morning the jury was brought
into court, and the court gave out
some new instructions in regard to
the case. These instructions were
similar to the second instructions
given in the case of the Statesvs. Col
lier, and the jurors were admonished
that if a majority stood, either for
conviction or acquittal it lwas the
duty of the others to listen to such
argument as they had to offer. When
this instruction had been given to
the jurors they returned to the box,
and in another hour the applause an
nouncing the verdict was heard.
The district attorney.hadInothi to
say in regard to the case and he was
evidently satisfied to5lose one case in
his long line of successes gwith the
criminal calendar. The fact has not
as yet been determinedIassto who gave
the tip to the VanDeusen.house, aud
it is possible that the district attor-
ney will take up the investigation
again after the close oftthe.court term
and it is possible that other arrests
will be made in onnectionS.with the
matter.
Mine Host Royce is decidedly
pleased with the vindication of his
honor in the case and his Office was
crowded with friends after the YER
dict and all Of them were expressing
hearty congratulations.

SET COLLIER HEARING
Motion for New Trial in Collier Case
To Be Heard on April 10

In the Circuit Court on Thursday
Judge Belden set April 18 as the date
for the hearing Of the argument on
the motion for new trial for Edward
Collier, recently convicted of man
slaughter in the fourth degree, and
the attorneys were notifies to be
ready to make their arguments at
that time. Nothing mas brti done
in regard to the case saye the
fact that Collier has filed d new BOND.
It has been rumored that the motion
for the new trial would be withdrawn
but when Attorney Taylor, who
represents Collier, was seen this
morning he declined to discuss the
matter saying nothing of this sort had
been brought to his notice. Thus
far neither Frank L. Jackson or Shell
ly H. Montgomery, charged with
perjury in connection with the case,
have employed an attorney.and it is
not known what action will be taken
in the matter.

THE city has an expensive job on
its hands in the repair of the break
water, and one that every days delay
makes a good deal more costly. If
the repairs are not made this summer
the city is likely to find itself con-
fronted with the problem Of building
practically new breakwater from the
south pier to Eiche1man Park next
year, and that would be another heavy
burden for the taxpayers to carry. It
would be splendid Improvement to
put new breakwater out two or three
hundred feet beyond the present one
and fill in between for a lake front
park, as has been suggested, but with
the heavy demands on the treasury
for really necessary improvements,
which will probably continue for some
years yet, the city is in no position for
such an undertaking. The repair
bill will be plenty large enough for
the taxpayers to foot without putting
up for an entire new breakwater.
There is small appropriation avail
able for breakwater repair work now
and the condition Of the breakwaters
is such that the city should get to
work on them at once. If the officials
delay much longer they may have
their attention forciDly called to the
matter by big break in the break
water after some big storm.

ground that the paved streets were

Drunkards In Norway.

In Norway drunkenness is punished
by imprisonment. When a man is in
carcerated he has q loaf and wine sup
piled to him morning and evening. The
bread is served in a wooden bowl full
Of wine, in which it has been soaked
for an hour. The first day the prisoner
swallows his allowance willingly
enough. The second day it seems less
pleasing, ard at the end of the eight
or ten days men have been known to
abstain altogether from the food thus
presented. Except in rare instances
the drunkard IS cured by this treat
ment.

More Money Was Spent in the Last Year
for the Erection Of New Build
ings Than for the Payment
of the Teachers

The annual report of the Kenosha
Board of Education for the year end
| ing March Is last was filed with the
city clerk on Thursday and the re-
port shows that the cost of the schools
in kenosha for the year was approx
mately $4,000. The report shows
that on that date the Board had on
hand total Of So, 141.47 and this will
probably be used up before the new
appropriation is paid over to the
Board. By far the largest item in the
expense account of the Board
for the year was the item of buildings.
The report shows that total of $780,
894.83 was expended in erecting new
building and remodeling the old ones.
The total amount expended for teach
ers during the year was $31, 705.75.
The report shows that the Board re-
ceived from the City Council $4,000
during the twelve months and that
the amount received from the state
and county was almost as great as
that received from the city.
The appropriation, which has been
made for the Board for the expenses
for the current year is largely in ex-
cess of the amount made last year,
but the Board will have largely in.
creased expenses. The new Edward
Balm school will be completed and
furnished this year and there will be
large bill for repairs on the other
buildings in the city. The report as
