Professor Damon Studying Waters Of

with, the black bass.
Professor Bannon has been at Devils
Lake since the closing of the univer-
sity in connection with the new bio
logical experiment station there. one
OF the prime objects of which is to
find out the kind Of. fish will survive
and multiply. The stocking of Devils

ing a study of sun spots recently.

a group of eight spots, of which the
largest was measured by the class,
and found to be about $4,000 miles
long and more than half as wide
These spots are supposed to he Inn

wide enough to allow eight globes
each the size of the earth, arranged

JURY disagreed
In Case Of Commonwealth VS..
Dr.. F. D. MaTCum.
Eight Voted for ACQuittal and -Four for
Conviction. Continued 10
Next Term.

The case of the Commonwealth
against DR.. Fred Marcum charged
with the killing OF John Whitaker,
and which had occupied the atten-
tion OF the court for several days
was given to the jury at the conclu-
sion of the argument of John w.
Waugh for the State. This was about
nine o'clock on Thursday night.
After having been out about one
hour the jury reported their inabil-
ity TO agree and Court adjourned
until Friday morning. At TEN
O'Clock the jury reported that they
we're hopelessly unable TO agree
upon a verdict and the Judge ordered
The discharge OF the jury and a.
re-trial at the next term of the
Court. Eight OF the jury were for
the acquittal of the accused and
four were for his conviction for
manslaughter.
The case has been appealed 10
the Court of Appeals by the Com
monwealth's attorney for the pur-
pose of having that tribunal pass
upon and define the law as given by
Judge Hannah in his instructions Il
the jury. 1t is regarding instructions
five and six that the opinion II
the Appellate Court is particularly
desired. This is upon the question
of the right and power of Mar
shal Marcum TO arrest Whitaker on
the train upon the information
given TO him by Conductor Blevins
concerning the conduct Of said Whit
aker while on the train. So far as
we can ascertain this is the first
case in which such instructions hav,
been given or asked for in tho
State of Kentucky, thus making Gudg
Hannah the pioneer along this line.
The decision of the Court of Ap.
peals will be most important one
and will be anXiously awaited by the
legal profession throughout the Stat,
1t is hoped thata decision will be
made before the next term OF the
Lawrence Circuit Court
