Division No. 2 of the Supreme
Court, Tuesday, in an opinion by
Judge Fox, gave George Horn, of
Flat River, a new trial on the
charge of first degree murder.
Horn killed Constable Francis
Burns on Labor Day, 1905, as the
officer was leaving Horns home,
where he had been summoned to
pacify the latter, who was disturb
ing the peace of his family and
threatening their lives. Horn was
tried and convicted and sentenced
to hang. The Supreme Court re-
versed that decision and rem anded
the case for a new trial because of
improper instructions to the jury.

who worked on the farm of Steve
Forst, near Tip Top, came to town
and sold a mule to John Mayes,
the liveryman, for $50. A day or
two later Forst came to town and
claimed the mule. Mayes has as

spent the day here urging that the
law be allowed to take its course.
