DIDN'T STEAL CALF.
At Least District Court jury Acquit-
ted Robt. Larsen of the Theft.

The first jury trial at the Septem-
Der term of the district court resulted
in the acquittal of the prisoner, Robt
Larsen, charged with the theft of a
calf. The verdict of not guilty,
brought in after several hours of de-
liberation. to say nothing of a whole
nights sleep over the question, arous-
ed considerable mirth around the
court house for it was unexpected
among the court and police officers,
who have been we'll acquainted with
the defendant. John Newell, the
attorney appointed by the court Mon
day afternoon to conduct Larsen's de-
Tense, was laughingly accused by
County Attorney John Schenck with
having hypnotized the jury, and the
county prosecutor further threatened
to dismiss any other cases in which
the defendant filed a poverty affidavit
and had Newell brought in to defend
him.
The case was commenced Monday
afternoon, Larsen being called to ans
wer a charge of leading away calf
which belonged to a Mrs. Musick, liv-
ing near the east end of the Sixth ave-
nue. viaduct. Larsen was seen one
night last July leading the calf away.
Police Patrolman G. w. Fribance,
who arrested him was attracted to the
scene by hearing the loud protests of
the owner of the calf. On the very
day of his arrest Larsen had been dis
charged from the county Jail after
previous arrest. He explained the calf
incident by claiming that Geo. Butts,
who lives in the same neighborhood
had hired him to go after the calf. In
quiry revealed that Butts knew moth
ing of the affair. The offense as
charged was punishable by a term in
the penitentiary.
Notwithstanding there was no con-
Trajectory evidence the jury withdrew
after listening to the forensics of the
counsels for state and defense and de-
liberated for a couple of hours Mon
day afternoon and for an hour more
this morning before concluding to set
the prisoner free

MAY GET RID OF THEM.
Officers Have Burglary Charges
Against Four Negroes.

The police now believe they have
found material which will serve them
in sending to a penal institution four
negro characters who have made all
sorts of trouble for the officers of the
law for many months past. The new
case is a charge of burglary lodged
against Dutch Goggins, Louis Wisdom
and Orville Thompson, whom Johanna
Adams accuses OF having burglarized
her restaurant on East Crane street
early Monday. The Adams woman
claims the four negroes entered her
place and tore up the furniture, de-
stroying a number of articles finally
carrying away carpets and other
things to a total value of about $50.
Goggins and Wisdom were arrested
by Detective Will Hutton and the
other two were arrested by Patrolmen
Duncan and England.

1t is in connection with this applica-
ton that the validity of the famous
Chanler-Cavalieri prenuptial agreement
may be tested. If the court names a

possessions it will, lawyers say, amount
to practically decision that the sing

TROUBLE TO GET JURORS
Judge Dana Draws the Lines Tighter
in Excuses.

The difficulty of finding competent
jurymen sufficient to conduct the
trials of the long terms of the Shaw
nee county district court was voiced
this morning by Judge A. w. Dana in
his address to the new venire of jul
rors who were summoned Monday af-
ter the court had discovered short
age in the original venire.
While admitting that he recognized
that jury service was an Improbable
engagement for the average man,
Judge Dana laid upon the membeys
of the venire their obligations as citi-
zens of the county and called their at
tention to the fact that jury service
was an occasional, unavoidable duty.
Several requests to be excused were
taken under consideration by him
but he intimated that it would be his
policy to require of every competent
juryman service for at least portion
of the term. If necessary other We
hires will be empanelled before the
end of the September session
Later in the morning when all the
September jurors were assembled in
the court room he made the usual ad-
dress instructing them as to their
general duties and powers as jury
men.
