The Ancient Law Of Deodand

'Deodand" means literally ''to be
given TO God" and the original idea
was that any inanimate object causing
the death of human being was to be
sold and the proceeds disbursed in
charity. In practice the sum so real
lied was always handed over to the
next of kin of the person killed. If a
cart ran over child and killed it the
vehicle was forthwith sold. and the
parents of the little victim received the
proceeds OF the sale. The only draw
back TO the scheme was that the object
causing death might be comparatively
valueless. 1t was this inequality which
was mainly responsible for the aboli-
ton OF the statute of deodand in 1916.
In 1888 the widow OF a man killed by
an engine on the Liverpool and Man
chester line was awarded deodand to
the extent OF its value. and there are
other instances Of even later date

INDEPENDENCE WILL

Hearst Says His League Will
Eventually Surpass Old
Line Parties.
MEETING IN INDIANAPOLIS.

indianapolis, Jan. 11.-William
Randolph Hearst did not come from
New York to attend the meeting, yes
tcrday afternoon. at the English hotel,
of the state committee Of his Indepen-
denCe League. He sent a letter. how
ever, in which was written what the
New York editor would have sal in
his speech had he come and made one.
The letter, hich filled twelve pages
of typewriter manuscript, gave Mr..
Hearst's conception of the plans and
principles upon which the IndeEen-
dence League should be organized in
the different states throughout the
nation" He predicted that the indie
pendent movement would not perpet-
uate itself as a third party. but that
il would soon supplant one of the two
big parties of the country and eventu-
ally become the dominant party.

Chief Bailey Says That in Al

ion Chicken Thief.
COMPLAINTS NUMEROUS.
1T is SAID THAT MAN is RESPON-
SIBLE FOR MAJORITY OF THE
CHICKEN THEFTS COMMITTED
IN COUNTY,

There is now confined in the city
Jail a man who the police think is the
champion chicken thief of the county.
He is Albert Clark of this city, for
mer resident of Abingdon, and Chief
Bailey says that he has enough infor-
nation against the man to make at
least ten cases against him.
Since last September we have been
receiving constant complaints from all
over the county about the large num-
Der of chickens being stolen. Yester-
day we got clue which led us to be-
lieve that Clark was engaged in this
kind of business. After he was arrest
ed he refused at first to admit his guilt
but on examination he broke down and
confessed he was a chicken thief In
my opinion. Clark has been responsible
reported here" said Chief Bailey this
morning,
This week it was reported that forty
chickens had been stolen from Isaac
Dougan i'll Spring Grove. When
charged with this theft Clark admitted
that he had stolen four or five from
Mr.. Dougan. TO catch the man in a
trap Chief Bailey innocently asked
him, Isn't it true that you never Wis
tied the Dougan chicken house unless
you took five or six chickens:' In
mediately Clark replied that he had
never at any one visit taken more
than two or three chickens. Seeing
the mistake he had made Clark has
tened to explain that he had never
robbed the Dougan chicken house more
than two or three times. Eighty-four
missing chickens belonging to Ed Ray

AN OLD TIME ASCENT.
London's First Balloon and the Great
Excitement II Raised.


Tremendous excitement was caused
when LondOn's first balloon went up.
The balloon, manned by young ltal-
ian named Vincent Lunardi. assembled
from Moorfields, then an open space Of
ground. on Sept 10, 1854, in the pres
ence of more than 100000 spectators.
All business was suspended, the king
himself setting the example by adj
-journing IA cabinet council that hap
pened to be sitting. Vast crowds fol
lowed the balloons course, some on
horseback, in carts. in chaises, but
mostly on foot. The Great North road.
above which the aeronaut sailed for
some distance, was a roaring river of
humanity.
Many were hurt in the crush, but
the only fatality recorded was the
death from fright of an old country
woman. who. coming out of her cot
tage TO see what the excitement was
about. beheld the balloon just above
her head. On the other hand. Lunardi
undoubtedly saved one mans life a
jury bringing in a verdict of not guilty
on notorious highwayman in order
that they, the prisoner and the judge
who was trying the case might rush
out of court TO see the balloon.
The aeronaut descended eventually
near Ware. in Hertfordshire, where his
sudden drop from the clouds was the
cause of more establishment and ex-
element, Many OF the spectators
swooned with fear while others urged
the putting of Iunardi to death there
and then on the ground that he must
