The jury in the circuit court at Lagrange, after deliberating fifty-one hours, returned a verdict finding Joseph Barcellona guilty of murder in the first degree and fixed his punishment at life imprisonment. Barcellona is an Italian laborer and he was convicted of having fatally stabbed Alva Tritch, who had ejected him from a dance at Elmira in February. Two companions of Barcellona are in jail awaiting trial on the same charge. A blind man, led by a woman dressed in black, was circulating here today soliciting funds, presumably for the purpose of having a cataract removed from the man’s eye. The woman was a smooth talker, and while we believe in charity, it looks a little queer that people living at Taylorsville, where they claim their home, should have to travel the whole state to raise fifty dollars for so worthy a purpose. It’s even money that the couple make a good living out of the graft.

Johnny Dugan, the Cincinnati umpire, who was chosen by Jack Rider to umpire the Decatur-Bluffton series of games in the season of 1906, opened the Western league season at Pueblo, Colo., last week, but owing to nose bleed due to the high altitude of Colorado, he was compelled to give up his work and will return to Cincinnati. Dugan is known as the best umpire around Cincinnati and one year officiated in the Central league. Next year it W’as thought that he would hold a place in one of the big leagues and he may yet do so if he remains with the game the remainder of this season. Few local people gained acquaintance with Dugan when he was here as he never arrived in the city until about time to call the game and left immediately after the contest. —Bluffton Banner.
