From Vernon Township.

The case of the state versus Michael Hern for malicious trespass, brought a number of people from the extreme northwestern portion of the county to the city Saturday to attend court before Squire Smith, to whose bench the case was taken. The prosecuting witness was Lemuel Moore, who claimed that Hennis' cattle got into his cornfield and destroy a lot. of corn and that Hennis came upon his farm against his protest and drove the cattle away, hence the arrest for tresprss.

Hennis claimed that there was no fence about the field to prevent the cattle from going into the corn. Hennis was also charged with assault and battery upon the son of Moore.

After hearing all Hi. vidence in the case Squire Smith decided Hennis not guilty in both cases.

The following is copied from The Western Chautauqua, and is an estimate of the management concerning her work at Rome City during the Summer Chautauqua held there this summer. "The daily evangelistic services conducted in the Auditorium by Miss Olive G. Marshall proved to be a great source of spiritual strength to the session The gospel was preached in demonstration of the spirit and in power and the people were greatly blessed. The Chautauqua can well afford to emphasize the evangelistic work and surrender its best hours to the pentecostal meetings. The evangelist proved herself thoroughly competent to carry forward the great undertaking which was done with most signal success."

She will first be heard at the M. E. church on on the night of October 20th.
