LATIN AMERICAN TOPICS.

The leniency Of the Peruvian President Senior
Pardo, toward the violent language of the few
papers of the opposition had something to do
probably with the unsuccessful insurrection started
by Duran, the ever unsuccessful but obstinate
politician. A Lima newspaper, the "Prensa" said

torials: we have reached the point that 1t is a

CHARGE OF STEALING A
HORSE
CASE OF e. M. CURTIS, CHARGED
WITH ASSAULT, is NOW IN
COURT
NORMAN cLARk'S BOND FOR.
FElTED AND BENCH WAR
RANT ISSUED FOR HIM

George D. Baling was acquitted of
the charge of horse stealing after the
jury deliberated two hours Saturday.
The defendant has not been releas-
ed, as he will have to answer another
charge of the same kind later, to
which he will probably interpose the
plea of former jeopardy.
Eleven members of new jury were
impannelled by Saturday evening to
try e. M. Curtis for assault with a
dangerous weapon. Court was then
adjourned until Monday morning at
10 o'clock.
The bond put up by Norman Clarke
for his appearance on the charge of
obtaining money under false preten.
ces, was forfeited Saturday morning.
At noon Andrew Miller appeared
for Mrs. Weimer and argued motion
to reopen the case of Weimer VS..
Weimer, which was up before the
court some time ago and in which a
decree of divorce had been granted
At that time ]. w. Walker, of Steele,

that Brs. Weimer is not satisfied with

night at an elegant oyster supper and
1t was greatly enjoyed by the disting-

the occasion.
Under Mr.. Manning's control the
Grille is doing a very nice business,

2:30. The body of the church was
well filled with personal friends Of
the family. The Rev. c. w. Harris,
the pastor of the deceased, spoke
briefly and fittingly as he thought the
life of the deceased was the best
sermon. The choir, consisting Of
Misses Marcellus and Jones and
Messrs Quirk and Humphreys Mrs.
Moore, organist, rendered several
pieces especially appropriate to the
occasion. The offerings of flowers,
especially from Miss Bells pupils and
from her fellow teachers, were album
dant and beautiful and were especi-
ally fitting in this case as the deceas-
