Gilmoie, who has been visiting friends at Cher okea, Iowa. The pupils of the primary depart ment of our school hare decided to nave their department represented in the school column, and send in some items tbia week. S. Gilbert hae bought a Smith Pre mier typewriter, receiving it Tuesday. He will do much of his writing by printing it hereafter, so those with whom he corresponds can have no ex cuse for not reading it. Another snow atorm visited us last Saturday night. Sunday morning the thermometer Bhowed several degrees below zero, but the atmosphere soon warmed up and by night the snow had almost all disappeared. The enteitainmeut, dunce and sup per given by Olive camp No. 14, Wood men of the World, Wednesday night, was a success in every respect, both socially and financially. The enter tainment was ilrst class. Luther H. Barnes believes he has a good thing in his patent ratchet wheel wrench and is going te push it. He had some letter heads, envelopes, cards and postal cards printed Wednesday, and also has an advertisement in this paper. , In some manner the two first figures got changed in the sum allowed Robert Frust for services as juror.as published in the commissioners proceedings last week. Instead of boing allowed $71 00 as we had it his allowance was only $17.00. The entertainment given last Satur day night by the "Nemaha Black Am teurs" was well attendud, considering the weather. The minstrels" gave a good performance and pleased all those in attendance, but the sidewalk fund was not replenished to any great ex tent by the net proceeds. We pay 15 cents a bushel for corn taken on subscription. Last Suuday Dr. W.W. Keeling took up a collection at the Methodist Sunday school for the benefit of the famine stricken sufferers in India. The colloc tlon amounted to $2.32, which was forwarded the next day to the Christian Herald at New York, which paper is forwarding all subscriptions. During the winter the water in the pipe leading from the tank to the trough of the public well became fro zen and bureted the pipe. When it thawed the water all ran out of the tank and in consequence thia well has been useless for seme time, This week Street Commissioner Smiley, assisted by Charley Galbraith, has been putting in another pipe, and the well is all right again. Taylor Gillespie's team took a spin on our streets Tuesday afternoon. He went into Anderson's store leaving the team in front of the store, his little boy staying in the wagon. The horses evidently concluded it was feeding time and started for home on the dead run. They safely turned the corners at Dr. Melvin's and D. T. Smiley'a, al tnough at the first corner the wagon made the turn on two wheels aud at the second turn the hub of one wheel struck a tree and cut in almost an inch. When near Gillespie's house thu horaea turned in to go through the gate but the wagon tongue struck a tne and the horses were stopped, one ol them being thrown to the ground. The tongue and one front axle were broken and'one wheel mawhed. The boy stuck to the wagon until it struck the tree, when the shock threw him out in f rout, taking the ondgate with him. He was not hurt. The horses escaped with a few scratches. NEW TRIAL DENIED. Special to Btato Journal, AuBuittt;eb7Mareh 18 . DWtrici CHiirt conveued at 7 o'clock last even ing, Judge Lettun presiding, for th purpose of hearing a motion for a new trial m the Argabright murder caae re cently tried here. Defendants alleged some thirty reasons why the verdict of the jury should be aet aside and a new trial granted, but in fact relied on but two, failure of the evidence to ahow deliberation and premeditation on the part of the defendant and errors in per mitting the evidence of the defendant te be impeached as to statements al" leged to have been made by him at the time implying malice. After full ar- gument on behalf of the defendant and the state the court took the matter un der advisement until 8:30 this morning and then handed down his opinion in the case. In pussing upon the motion for a new trial this morning the court said that had the jury been made up of twelve men like himself the verdict would undoubtedly been different; that there was such a state of facts in the evidence that the jury might have foundjpremoditatien and deliberation on the part of the defendant aad that under the facts they might equally well have found to the contrary; that under the facts tney could have well found murder in the second degree or man slaughter, but as the verdict was the verdict of twelve good and true men. who under our system are judges of the facts, he felt that he was not justified in setting aside their verdict, there be ing no evidence adduced that the jury was prejudiced or actuated by any im proper motives in finding their verdict, Defendant was sentenced for life at hard labor. The defendant filed a ko. tion in arrest of judgment and exceps tionB in the finding and asked and was given forty days in which to propare and present a bill of exceptions. FOB SALE.
