Well Known Business Alan and Splendid Citizen Succumbs To Ailments After Long Illness

The death of John Homer Brooks occurred Saturday morning about? o'clock at his home on West Main street. Mr. Brooks had been in very poor health for a year, and had not been able to be at his place of business for several months. His decline had been rapid the past month, and his death was expected, as it was evident some time ago that he could not recover.

Mr. Brooks was a native of Blue River township, this county, where he grew to manhood, his parents being William and Mary Brooks, who lived one and a half miles south of Westland. Mr. Brooks was a graduate of the Indiana State Normal and taught school several terms in his home township as a young man, but he has been in the monument business in this city for about fifteen years.

At first he was associated with Joel Pusey in the business, but he later took full charge on East Main street. A few years ago he moved to the location on the corner of West Main and Pennsylvania street. He was an honest, honorable dealer, and held the entire confidence of the public at all times, and his business was a success.

He was a charter member of the State Monument Dealers' Association, and has been vice president of the association for many years, being re-elected at their recent annual meeting.

Mr. Brooks was a member of the Friends church of this city, and was a member of the Improved Order of Red Men. He leaves a widow and four children, two daughters and two sons also one brother, Robert W. Brooks, and two sisters, Mrs. John Bentley, of Oklahoma, and Mrs. Jacob Hamilton.

The funeral of Mr. Brooks will be held Monday at 1:30 o'clock at the Friends church. Morrison & Pasco, undertakers.

A GRAVE OFFENS1

If there is anything in the world that should be made of the choicest ingredients and with the utmost scientific skill, it is our medicinal preparations which can be instrumental for health and happiness, or detrimental and injurious, and it is a deplorable fact that people are sometimes persuaded to accept a substitute for Scott's Emulsion when those recommending such substitutes know the difference, but for their mercenary profit, disregard or ignore the consequences of their act.

The popularity of the curative benefits of Scott's Emulsion has inspired many imitations, most of which contain alcohol, wines or opiates to please the palate and stimulate the spirits, but physicians everywhere insist on the purity and wholesomeness of Scott's Emulsion, knowing that it contains only pure wholesome cod liver oil, made palatable and predigested by scientific process in sunlit, sanitary laboratories. jan30-feb27

JURY IS 0«H) COULD NOI AGREE

Deliberated About 20 Hours in Martin Case and Reported That it Could Not Make Verdict.

The jury in the case of the State vs. Henry Martin failed to make a verdict, and the members were discharged from further consideration of the case at 9 o'clock Friday morning, after twenty hours deliberation.

The case was given to the jury at noon Thursday, and when evening came and there was no verdict made, speculation was rife, and many believed they would disagree.

At 9 o'clock Friday morning they asked permission to report, and it was granted. When the attorneys and the defendant had been summoned, the jury was called in and reported that they could not agree on a verdict. The acting judge, Mr. Hough, asked each member of the jury personally, if he thought it possible for the jury to agree on a verdict, and in each case, the answer was that they could never agree. The court said he did not think any good purpose could be served under the circumstances by having the jury to further consider the case, and they were excused.

The result of the balloting by the jury was six to six all Thursday afternoon and evening, it is said, and Friday morning this result was changed to 7 to 5 for conviction, which result was not changed.

When he discharged the jury, the court told the defendant that he was. still under bond, as before the trial, and could not leave the jurisdiction of the court without permission. This trial has been a long one and hard-fought, and has attracted quite a good deal of attention because of its sensational nature.
