Lnuents Deuice
for Rail Joints

An invention that promises to rev.
olutioniZe the manufacture of fish
plates for railway rails has been fin
ished by j. B. Baum, well known
local inventor, and patent has been
applied for.
The invention is a rail splice that
requires no bolts and yet is as strong
and rigid as the old style. The cost
of manufacture will be but slightly
increased while the time required to
place it in position at rail joints will
be greatly lessened 1t has been
shown to several local mechanics and
railroad men and all pronounced
it practical and very servicea0ie
splice.
Mr.. Baum has also applied for pat
ent on a device which he calls the
never-slip tie plate and which is also
considered a valuable addition to the
improved methods of railroad con-
struction.

CONVICTED
RELEASED
]. H. Lillard, Convicted by Jury of
Bootlegging is Discharged by
Judge Sullivan.-Proved Alibi
After Trial Was Over.

After having been convicted of
bootlegging and facing n sentence of
so days in the county jail, j. II.
Lillard was discharged from custody
this afternoon in the county court
by Judge Sullivan, after Deputy
District Attorney McClintock moved
that the case be dropped.
Attorney Berry. who represented
Lillard. presented a motion for a
new trial, with affidavits from six or
seven people who stated that Lii
lard was not at McKinney's place at
the time the transaction is supposed
to have occurred. Judge Sullivan
set aside the first verdict, allowed a
new trial and then dismissed the
case.
The situation was a peculiar one
as exclusively announced in The
Sentinel last night. Mckinney was
released on a charge in which Lii
lard was involved on an alibi. It
would have cost the county court
$500 to push the case against Lillard
and they decided they would not.
