Jail Sentence
Is Suspended

The case Of the state against
Homer Buckley came on for
further hearing last Saturday in
circuit court, upon motion for
new trial, after a jury had re-
turned a verdict of guilty and
assessed a fine Of $500 against him
for his assault upon Charley Mayo,
for which Buckley was tried up
on charge OF assault with intent to
commit murder at a former day Of
this term OF court.
The motion for new trial was
made upon four grounds, to-wit:
That the evidence preponderates
against the verdict Of the jury and
in favor Of the innocence Of the
defendant; that the great weight OF
the evidence is against the verdict
of the jury and is in favor Of the
defendants innocence; that there
is no material evidence to support
verdict of the jury; that the court
erred in admitting evidence highly
preiudicial to the defendant over
his proper objections.
Judge Jones overruled the
motion for new trial and sustained
the verdict in every respect, but
suspended the Jail sentence of
thirty days during the good
behavior of the defendant upon
his securing the said fine and
costs, which, in full, amount to
about $500.

 The American soldiers have about come to the conclusion that when a fight starts in Mexico, by accident or otherwise, everybody with gun shoots to save himself but with no real intention of hitting anybody else.

Mr.. E. j. Davis of this city has
made some computation on the above
figures and finds that in 1905, for
every dollar put into new church
buildings, there were $3.50 put into
new breweries and distilleries.
But note the difference in ten
years!
In 1915 for every dollar put into
new breweries and distillerles there
were $500 put into new churches.
These figures do not indicate that
the church is on the decline, but they
do show quite conclusively that the
liquor business of the country is hit
