the court Tuesday and Wednesday, when
the case was given td the Jury In the

months. On the night of the shooting
she had been out walking with a young
man named Ben Trueblood. On her re

to consist of two cluzeiis of each township

celebration one of IrniKjriance, to have some
prominent speakers, and to invite the gov

participate. The colony of Hermans who

the Hoyal Highlanders against the state,
the reserve fund for tho money In which
the amount of taxes In controversy was
levied, wus an asset entitled to th- offset

taxes on the money on hand not set aside
to tl'ls reserve or mortuary fund and on

daily that of the supreme court, upon
which It Is based, will enable the fraternal
