Jury Deliberates For Several Hours —Finally Return With a Verdict For the Plaintiff.

The damage suit in which Walter E. Krieble brought suit against the United Fourth Vein Coal Company, asking for damages to the amount of $15,000, was concluded in the Hancock Circuit Court Tuesday morning, when the jury which had deliberated several hours, returned a verdict in favor of the Plaintiff for $12,000.

This case has been a hard fought one and one which has taken much time, having begun Monday April 28th. It was venued here from Marion county, and was tried here last winter, but the .jury disagreed and no verdict was reached. This was tlie first case up for trial in the April term here, but there are many more to come up in this term, as cases are set up to the third week in June.

The big damage case came originally from Clay county, having been filed at Brazil in that county. It was the outgrowth of injuries received by the plaintiff, Walter E. Krieble, while working in the mine. Some top coal fell on him, injuring his spine and resulting in paralysis. He was working in the Inland Valley Mine No. 4 when the accident occurred, July 15, 1910.

Mr. Krieble is a married man, 27 years old, with a wife and little daughter, Mildred La Vern, 3 years old. He has been attending the Brazil Business University recently with a view ofi preparing himself for some kind of work that he can do notwithstanding his injuries. The verdict in his behalf was favorably received by those who had followed the evidence in the case.

The Horse Business.

Jerry Klotz purchased fourteen head of horses last week which were taken from this county to Indianapolis stockyards Sunday. Four of the horses were purchased of Pauley & Varner. Mr. Pauley of the firm of Pauley & Varner, reports that horses are hard to buy. He says they sometimes drive 45 miles in a day and only buy one or two horses. He says all the horses on the farms are being used, and that the high prices which are being offered for horses do not tempt the farmers to part with them. As soon as the rush of crop* work is over he says there will be quite a number of horses for sale.

MANY GOING TO CIRCUS

Barnuni & Bailey Attracting Thousands With Many New Novelty Features

The Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth is attracting unusual interest this season with its wonderful program of European novelties, its rebuilt parade, its complete menagerie, and its recently adde«l*$500,000 wordless spectacle of "Cleopatra," all of which will be seen in Indianapolis on May 21st.

The parade, which takes place at 10 o'clock in the morning, is three miles in length. In the menagerie will be found the only baby giraffe on exhibition anywhere on earth. The inaugural spectacle of "Cleopatra" is produced on the biggest stage ever devoted to an open-air amusement. It is erected in the main, tent of the show. There is a cast of i,250 characters, a grand opera chorus of 400 voices, an orchestra of 100 musicians, a ballet of 350 dancing girls, 650 horses, five herds of elephants, caravans of camels and an entire trainload of special scenery, costumes and stage effecls. This is the greatest speclacular, theatrical, and circus event in the history of amusements in America.

Among the many European novelties on the regular program which follows the spectacle are Miss Bird Millman, the wonderful high wire artist, and novelty feats by a company of Japanese warriors and jiu jitsu experts, Winston's riding and juggling seals, the Herr Koenig's troupe of statue-building, dancing and jumping horses, a brass band of stallions, Berzac's mule and monkey circus, the Sieg-rist-Silbon family of high air vaulters and somersaulters, Mae Wirth, the greatest bareback and somersault rider in the world The Five Baltons, world's greatest strong men and women Vittoria and Georgetty, strong arm dancers. Les Jardy and Les Deko families of acrobats, five herds of trained elephants, and the fifty funniest clowns in the world.

The Barnum & Bailey circus for more than fifty years has stood at tlie head of the world's amusement affairs. This year it is more interesting than ever before, and twice as big. It travels on a train more than a mile in length, covers fourteen acres of ground, and has nearly 1,500 employes, 700 horses, nearly two-thirds of the elephants in America, 110 cages in the menagerie and over 2,000 wagons and other vehicles.

The two performances that will be given at Indianapolis will be exactly the same as those presented at Madison Square Garden, New York, where the season was opened in March. Not one detail has been changed. The great spectacle was said to be the most notable dramatic event in the history of amusements in that city, wjhile the circus proper was credited with being the best ever given there.
