CUTTING AFFRAY.

George Smith While Drunk Attempts Cut the Throat of His Doting Father-In-Law.

Monday George Smith, of near Wingate, came to town with a chap named Crouch and when going homo time came he was boiling drunk, lie remained over in Crawfordsville, therefore. and Tuesday his f.uh°r-in-law, Frank Bagby, came in after him. The young man was found at W. O. Smith's livery barn and bitterly resented all insinuations to the etTeet that it would be well for him to go homo. Mr. Bagby reasoned with the fellow but all to no ell'oet. Smith finally became very violent and drawing a big knife from his pocket proceeded to cut and slash the air in a very bellicose manner, ie. made several lunges at his father-in-law and at last it became evident that he was really out for blood. The old gentleman dodged about in a lively -manner and only saved himself from a viciously slashed throat by throwing up his arm and taking the cuts there. Smith also attempted to stab him. but Bagby escaped and the police were called. Officer McDaniel arrived minus his trusty "billy'' and Smith stood him olT by threatening to cut him also. McDaniel loft and shortly returned with George Vancleavo and a gun. Smith threw up his hands at once and was quickly lodged in jail.

Mr. Bagby had his cuts dressed and drove olT home.

One Tenth district representative—A. O. Reser, of Lafayette, refused to act with the others. It is understood lie is for Artman. Henry W. Marshall, of Lafayette, is in the combine for Stutesman.

NEW OFFICERS.

M. B. Waugli Elcctcd President ot the Fair Association—Other Changes.

The directors of the fair association met Monday morning in the small court room and elected officers for tho ens ing year as follows:

President- M. Waugh. First Vice-Pres.—F. M. Dice. Second Vice-Pres. -J. L. Davis. Secretary—W. F. Uulet. Treasurer—John S. Brown. General Superintendent—J. J. Insley. Marshal Sara Shafer. Superintendent of Privileges—11. C. Smith.

Before adjournment a resolution was passed warmly endorsing tho candidacy of M. J}. Waugh for a position on the state board of agriculture and pledging the members of the association to use every means to secure his election.

Outside the change in the presidency of the association the most noted change was the retirement of Paul Hughes from superintendency of the privileges. This is a position he held for years and in which he would have probably been continued had ho not been defeated for a position on the board of directors. His defeat was encompassed by Tsaac Davis, whoso good old gun, loaded with something like seventy-live votes, never fails to bring down meat whon it is fired.

FOR MANSLAUGHTER.

The Jury In the Osborne Case Returns a Verdict In Short Order.

The jury in the case of .James Osborne charged with tho murder of Howard Ellis, was instructed by tho court Saturday evening at a quarter of six and at a quartar after eight they were back in the court room ready to report. The bell was not rung and tho prisoner was brought tip quietly from the jail so that the court room whs not nearly full. When the jury liled in it was plain to those who studied their faces that a conviction had been made oven if their early return had not been sufficient proof of the fact. Michael Carroll, the foreman, handed up the verdict which roud as follows: "We the jury lind tho defendant, .lames M. Osborne, guilt.v of voluntary manslaughter as charged in tho indictment, and that his age is twenty-sevon years."

When tho verdict was read Osborno was sitting right square, in front of the jury so close to Allen Byers that he eoukl have reached over and bitten him on the knees. But he didn't. Ho was simply stunned, so positive was 1o that ho would bo acquitted. The jury was immediately discharged, tho defense reserving whatever motions it might have for a later day. When the crowd .scattered Mr. Bailey walked over to the defendant and remarked: "Well, Jim, it's pretty tough To this remark .Tim replied: "You bet it is and it ain't right either.''

On tho way to the jail .Jim was quito angry and declared that ho had been mistreated. Said lie: "1 thought all tho time that I would get oil', aud why shouldn't IV I didn't kill 101 lis and had no doubt but that the jury would soo it that way. I thought they might possibly lino moor send mo to juil for a few days, but 1 never dreamed they would send me to the pen. It makes mo dead sore to think that those who did it and who were more in the scrap than I was should get otT free. It's dead wrong."

Tho jury disposed of the case quickly after it was given to them. The first ballot stood ten for conviction and two for acquittal but on tho third ballot the jurors were unanimous for conviction. Whenitcamo to the question of dogroe three jurors voted for murder in the second degree but thoy soon came around and voted Tor manslaughter.

Tho defenso has not as yot determined what will be done. The verdict was no surprise to the attorneys who had anticipated it but some action may be taken in the next day or so looking to tho prisoner interest. He will be sentenced this week and taken to tho JefTorsonvillo prison as it is reasonably sure that Judge West will not grant a new trial.

On Saturday afternoon the court room was packed all the session and those present were well repaid as both Mr. Bailey and Mr. Whittington made splendid speeches. Those who thought Mr. Whittington's strength lay in defense rather than prosecution were decidedly undeceived.

Tuesday .James M. Osborno was brought before Judge West and told to stand up and receive sentence. When asked if no had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced, tho prisoner made a few rambling remarks to the effect that inasmuch as nothing he could say would do any good he had no desire to speak. He advanced tho theory, however, that it was a pretty tough proposition for ouo man to stilTer for what some one else had done. Judge West said '.'oat the jury had failed to see it that way and thereupon proceeded to sentence Osborne to the JHTorsonville reformatory for a term of from two to twenty-one years. Tho cere mony over the prisoner was again manacled to the deputy and taken back to jail.

SherilT Canine has not as yet determined when he will take Osborne to prison but it will not be before t.he latter part of the week. Osborne's life in the reformatory, if he behaves himself, will not be a hard one and by establishing a record for excellence he can probably secure a parolo in four or five years, possibly sooner.

Good Rldduncc of Bad Rubbish. Monday morning Bob Cheek, a peak headed colored boy, was up before tho mayor to answer to a charge of stealing a cot from Belle Kennedy. There was a clear case against him but ho refused to plead guilty so it was finally determino:' to allow him to go provided that he would leave town never to return. Ho readily agreed to tills and took his distinguished departure Tuesday morning, ft was thought better to forever rid the town of the trilling scamp than to spend three or four hundred dollars convicting him of stealing property worth about, ten cents.-
