Lcwistown this week for the murder
OF II. w. Mahaney at this place on
the night of November 7th, was
acquitted by the jury and is now a
free man. The taking Of testimony
commenced Monday and continued
all day Tuesday, closing with the
arguments of the states attorney,
J. c. Huntoon, and O. w. Belden
for the defense. The jury returned
their verdict Of not guilty Wednes-
day. The jury consisted of the
following: Vaclay Hruska, Fred
Bean. A. G. Fickes, G. H. Centon,
E. f. Lewis, G. S. Crawford, James
Hiatt, Theodore Gervais, B. f.
Stack, P. T. Elston, J. c. Young,

The defense based their plea for
acquittal on the ground of self de-
Tense, the jury being evidently salts
fled that the defendant did not pre-
mediate the crime. The defense
also introduced the previous good
character and standing of the de-
fendant as evidence.

GREAT GIFT DAY is THE
HAPPIEST OF ALL YEAR
Or. p. S. Henson in Sermon on Golden
Legend" Discusses Keynote
of Christianity

The Golden Legend" was the sub
ject of Rev. DR.. p. S. Henson yester-
day morning at the Temple Baptist
church. He said in part:
Every life has its key word. That of
the miser is, 1T is more blessed to get
than to give. That of the vagabond,
1T is more blessed to loaf than to la
bor.' The keynote of the, life of Jesus
Christ was, 1T is more blessed to give
than to receive His life was a life of
ministry; at times giving out provis-
ions for the body, and at other times
bestowing peace and pardon for the
soul, but always giving. This spirit of
importation is the keynote of Chris
tianity always and everywhere, differ
entiating it from everything else under
the sun.
"The happiest moments in your life
are those in which you are giving out
unstintedly for the happiness of 9TH
ers. The happiest man you know is
he who, in beautiful self-forgetfulness,
gives the best he can offer to brighten
this worlds darkness and mitigate its
misery.
"What is the happiest day in all the
year and why? Is it not the great gift
day, when every miserly grip is re-
laxed and every icy heart thawed out
to give a gift and celebrate at Christ
mas the unspeakable gift of Christ ?
In so far as we are like God in the
beauty of our beneficence will every
home at Christmas time become an
Eden of bliss"

eral years. She told the coroner that
when the weather was bad Cooper fire.

The body was taken to the undertake
ing establishment of Pierce brothers

cation.

ters live. He is also survived by two
