SEND Boys REMAINS
TO OHIO HOME

Fairfield, Feb. 23.-An inquest held
late Tuesday afternoon over the re-
mains of the young man who was
killed west Of Fairfield Monday after
noon revealed the fact that he was
riding on the blind baggage" of Bur-
lington passenger train No. 6 and prob
ably lost his balance and fell under
the train 1t was found that his name
was Cecil Edward Fowler Of Gallipo-
lis, Ohio.

ter city identifying the young man.

CEMENT BRIDGE
ACTS BEW|TCHED
HORSES DRIVEN OVER IT SEEMED
TO BE POSSESSED OF
CURRENT.

Hampton, Feb. 23.-The new cement
bridge on East Fifth street is short
circuited, is bewitched or something
Of that kind. Here are the symptoms:
Perfectly good and gentle horses being
driven over it suddenly attempt the
impossible in jumping feats, try to
disconnect themselves from mother
earth, and failing this, fall ingloriously
In the slush. One animal seen here
showed that it's entire left side had
been down and the owner declared it
was caused by the Juice" that was
straying from it's accustomed path
from the wire to the electrolier at
that place.
The explanation has not yet been
reached, but 1t is supposed to be due
to one or two causes, either through
the current leaking from the wiring
into the cement floor Of the bridge, or
to water flowing over a portion Of the
wire not insulated, and the water con-
ducing the fluid to the water on the
bridge.

OUT WORK RAPIDLY
JURY HEARING ACTION AGAINST
LIZZIE ROBINSON AND
FRED FISHER.

The case of the state VS.. Lizzie Rob-
inson and Fred Fisher charged with
nuisance, was called for trial before
Judge Francis M. Hunter in the GRIM
inal division of the district court this
afternoon. 80
The Jury in the Abe and Annie Bo-
brow case, in which the same charge
was preferred retired at 1870 o'clock
this morning. Several defendants
found guilty this week and last on
bootlegging and liquor nuisance
charges are yet to be sentenced. Mo-
lions for new trials have been fled in
nearly every one of them.
The contention was made In the
case of Joe Wheeler, convicted last
Tuesday of receiving stolen goods, that
the defendant was insane The court
withheld Judgment until commission
had examined the man.
The case against w. F. Deming and
May Osborne has been continued and
dismissed. Counsel for Dennis Ma
loney filed a motion to continue the
case against him and the county attor-
ney resists the action.
Report Of Wheeler.
The commission consisting of A. o.
Williams, ]. G. Box and w. G. Newell,
to investigate the mentality
of Joe Wheeler reported to Judge Hun
ter this afternoon. The physicians do
not believe the man to be insane but
rather to be an adult person suffering
from arrested mentality. In other
words while grown person in body,
his mind is that of six or seven year
