The verdict will be appealed at

Friday when they compelled Judge
Hart to record the exact words of the
jury in reporting the verdict of ac-

order of the court Clerk Haley entered
the words:
First Verdict of the Jury.

With this as a text, the appeal will

that the judge erred in not at that

argue to the higher courts that send

this denied the accused pair the right
of a free trial guaranteed by the o n

Verdict General Surprise.
The verdict was a general surprise,
as it was thought that the jury, which
had been out since Wednesday morn

RIDERS AND HABITS
The Up to Date Woman and Her
Equestrian Outfit.

IdAAtiS SSNht'
To be right up to date the young lady
of today must have her riding habit,
and this is not the long. graceful and
dangerous thing of yore, but short
skirt, generally divided. with short
and shapeless coat The habits of these
days are made of all sorts of material
cloth khaki, linen, rosebery and many
more of the goods calculated best to
repel water and shed dust.
What would be the use of going to
ride if sudden shower were to come
on and drench the rider? SO she must
have something that will wash and
come through the process new again.
The best khaki is said to be almost
impervious unless subjected for long
time to the wet. but there are times
when even that fails.
A riding habit comprises the whole
outfit and does not mean the dress
alone Everything must be fitted to
the use. so there are dainty little
boots with play spurs and snug knick-
erbockers. The shirt waist to be worn
with Il riding habit should be of heavy
linen and tailored. A standup or turn
down collar of linen, whichever ap-
pears to be more becoming, is worn
with a tie, generally colored and of
silk. but sometimes there is a high
stock of linen with tabs to tie or ar
range as string ties. But it should al
ways be borne in mind that the active
wind, is apt to disarrange anything
but the severest and most strongly
fastened ties. SO also with the ar
