courts will not read into Section 6504, b, 1. Burns, of said law. any more exceptions tban are expressed therein. . Another case reversed the same day was that of Judy & Wood vs. Harry Gifford. Gifford secured a lodgement against Judy & Wood in the Newton circuit court for SSOO for malicious prosecution. The court revised the decision so far as Judy and wood were concerned, but affirmed as to Hunter. This would apparently mean that Hunter is stuck for the judgement, bnt as he is said to be both law and execution proof, it will probj ably not worry him very much. In the Gifiord case the court held: Special findings returned by the jury with the Verdict, stating that two of the three defendants in a suit for malicious prosecution did pot have any malice as against the plaintilt lathe Institution of the prosecution complaiaed of. entitled those two defendants to judgement. Malice is a fact which must be established by the plaintiff in such a suit as past of his case. . - ■ C, 4F. STACKHOUSE FOR TRUSTEE.

Wilson was the only man from Jasper county attending the Chicago convention, and he had an appointment as assistant sergeant-at-arms, or he probably would not have gone. Ordinarily, with national convention so close as Chicago, from one hundred to three hundred Jasper county people would have been on the ground. That no one but Mr. Wilson attended demonstrates the apathy exmuig in the g. o. p. over Roosevelt’s nomination.
