INSANE FATHER TRIES
To KILL CHILDREN

Chicago, Nov. 5.-John hobart fired
two shots at his four little daughters
yesterday with a shotgun and pistol
but none of the shots took effect and
he was overpowered by Detective
Laughlin before he could do the chill
dren any harm. He will be examined

Laughlin was standing in front Of
the hobart home when he heard shoot
ing inside. He broke down the door.

room, revolver in one hand and a
shotgun in the other. The children

is an old decision of the Mississippi
courts holding that the bonds were a
valid charge against the state it is
thought by many able lawyers that
the federal court would hold the con-
trary. In other words, that the fed
eral court would hold that no state
had any authority or power to pledge
its faith and credit to the success of a
private business enterprise; therefore
the holders of the old repudiated bonds
have preferred to annoy the state. by
casting a reflection upon its credit at
every opportunity, and by this means
hope to get something on the bonds
rather than take the chances of hav-

The trial of Jeff Worthy, under in
dictment for altering marks on hogs,
not his own, begun before Circuit
Court Wednesday afternoon was con-
Guided at $3.50 this morning, and the
jury promptly returned verdict OF
guilty.
The defendant in this case, a negro
man about so years of age, conducted
his own defense, questioning the wit
nesses and in doing so was allowed
much latitude by the Court, and un-
opposed in his methods by objections
from the states counsel. When the
case was ready for submission to the
jury the state asked only one instruc-
tion and the defense none.
When asked by the Court if he
wished to address the jury he an
swered yes. When the district attor-
ney stated that he did not wish to
argue the case, the Court told the
defendant he could address the jury,
and then cautioned those in the court
room against making any demonstra-
ton while the defendant was availing
himself of his rights under the law
In a most deliberate and solemn
manner the defendant turned to the
jury and at once knelt before a chair
and for the ten minutes allowed him,
plead his case, in language addressed
in fervent tones to the Lord, to whom
he plead to stand in his place, that
Justice might be done his lowly SER
want.
The case of the State VS.. Newman
Company, indicted for violat-
ing the ten-hour law, was called and
the demurrer filed by counsel for the
defense was overruled. Owing to the
absence of Mr.. Travis, attorney for the
defendant on account of sickness, the
case was passed over subject to his
ject of this law is the protection of
