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

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,

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.

Untted States Letters Patent iV"o.G72867.
Dated December 8, 1890.
a
Ratchet Wheel Wrench.
Please not printed hereon out of my Ratchet
Wheel Wrench on which I obtained United
States Lettora Patent No. 67S8G7, dated Deo. 8th, 18B0.
This Wrench is practical and durable, adapted for use
on all machinery, and of special value on machinery and
engines of a complicated nature. It can bo constructed
of different sizes as occasion requires, supplying a very
largo per cont of the demand for Wrenches. The Re
ducer ehown in tho above cut Is intended to fit central
opening in Ratchet Wheel. By use of this Wrench hurra
or taps are turned that could not be gotten at with othor
wrenches. Handle and wheol are connected by plates
on either side in such a way as to permit use of Wrench
when obstructions are very near handle.
Should you wish to purchase part or all of my In
vention I would be pleased to negotiate with yeu. My
interests are intact.
Awaiting your commands, I remain,
Tours truly,
