MISTRIAL RESULTS
 IN THE DEITZ CASE

The jury in the case of John Deitz, the former popular stamp clerk of the Bir-
 mingham postoffice, resulted in a mistrial yesterday in the United States court. Deitz was charged with unlawfully dis posing of money from the sale of postage stamps The testimony showed that he had cashed a check for $G5 for c. l.. Suspicion, another postoffice employe. Extensive evidence was brought to show the good character of the defendant. and that the offense was an irregularity rather than a moral or>criminal attempt to evade the law.
 This was the final case on the criminal docket. The other pure food cases were continued until the next term of court, while Judge Grubb postponed sentence on the officers of the Celery Cola com
 pany until this week. There will be no penitentiary sentence. as 1t is 8 case
 where only fine can be imposed.

TURNED
 ON HIGHNAYMAN

TO hold up a man at the point of rife. make him pitch his coin of the realm upon the ground and then, while in the act of stepping to DICK up the ill-gotten gain. to have hls victim smash him in the head with rock, to have others join in and beat him a hit and then to wind up in the coun- tv jail with charge of highway rob bery docketed against him, was the misfortune which overlook Will Smith, road agent, an Ethiopian by color and percentage, last night.
 Julius Brown, another horny-handed son of Ham, was the victim who saw his chance, nailed his robber and re- gained his departing wealth. As Smiti leaned over Brown dropped to the ground suddenly and picking up a heavy rock slammed it with tremendous force against Smiths forehead, knock ing him to the ground and making a huge dent in his physognomy.
 The affair happened about o'clock on the drift track of the Birmingham Southe ern railroad in Pratt City, near Eula station on the North Ensley car line. When Brown saw his man stretched upon the ground he pro- ceeded to let out such lusty yells as "Murder, Help! Fire! Police! Oh, Lawdyl" and the like.
 He certainly attracted attention. w.. c. Morris. who was driving near the track in his buggy, jumped out and followed by his negro driver rushed to the scene. The bold highWayfiIan was recovering by this time and 1t was neces.arv to administer another punch to him. A large crowd collected with in a few minutes and each man in it wanted to jab him a bit.
 Deputy Sheriffs Cnildress and Ken nedy went to the scene, took Smith in charge and removed him to the coun- ty jail. Brown in the meantime had ocraped up his money, some 50 cents, which he had been forced to cast upon the ground, and went on his way re- iojcir q ra .t+ x 1s-st "A d stF+ .st ~

A BRILLIANT IDEA.
Need a Place to Exhibit Goods Made
in Our Own State.

President Rudge of the State Fair
board has delivered himself of a
thought that should receive careful
consideration. 1t is one of the best
ideas that has been sprung in gem
Grafton.
Briefly Mr.. Ridge suggests that a
building be erected upon the state
fair grounds in which to exhibit only
goods made in Nebraska. And it would
take mighty big building to ade-
quately provide for such a display of
manufactures. 1t wouldn't be the
smallest buildings on the grounds, by
any means. On the contrary, it would
be among the largest, if not the larg-
est. Nebraska is rapidly becoming
a manufacturing state, and it is high
time the people of Nebraska realized
the growing Importance of Nebraska S
building and display as Mr.. Rudge
proposes would do more to educate the
people of Nebraska, and more to ad.
vance the material welfare of the
sSate, IMAM "imoSt any otHei 'SeHoy
1t is to be hoped that the state fair
oboard will take up Mr.. Ridges idea
at once and proceed to act upon it
The board will have the cooperation
of thousands of wage carners who are
not now particularly interested in the
state fair because its exhibits are
either purely agricultural or wholly OF
goods manufactured in other states
Mr.. Rudge could render no better
service to the state as a whole than tc
keep hammering away on that single
fact.
