The Provoke Trial of Wes Purses Elicits More Interesting Testimony. This morning Wee Pursee, of Sugar Creek township, was arraigned in the mayor's court for provoking Mrs. WmColeman. Mrs. Coleman is the divorced wile of the Wm. Coleman who lives just over the line in Boone oounty and who is now sueing his wife for damages alleged to have been done by her malicion* trespass. He aocuses her of burning his house and barns, poisoning his hogs and committing other depredations. Mrs. Coleman until recently lived with the Pursee family and their relations ended in a great big row. Pursee came upon her land to.gather some 03Ta he claimed and this Coleman appearing ordered him off. He cursed her terribly and this led to his arrest. At the trial this morning he went after her in a rough shod manner. He coolly stated that she had of .en importuned him to purohase arsenic in order that she might poison her divorced husband's hogs. He declared that he had refused and that she had finally made a trip to Illinois in ordtr to purchase the poison. She came back and exhibited the same to him. Mrs. Coleman entered a denial to the story. Pursee was found guilty of provoke and was duly fined §5 and costs.

In regard to the poisoning of hogs by arsenic it might be' of interest to the parties concerned to learn that hogs are not affeoted by the drng known as arsenio. They appear, on the contrary, to thrive on it.

Elijah Vory Brookshiro \till go up the flume in defeat next fall if he is not knocked off his perch by his party in convention assembled. But it looks now as if he would be slaughtered in the stalls of his party, and Vory is be coming somewhat of that opinion himself. For some time past he has had his tools going about the district looking after his fences. When his emissaries landed in Fonntain county they found the rough winds of adversity blowing rather strong in Elijah's direo-* tion, and although the stay was short, their enthusiasm was considerably chilled and they left with a feeling that Vory's chestnuts will fall in the early frosts.—Spence's Covington Paper.
