CROSS IS FOUND GUILTY.

Defenst Will Ask for a New Trial.

The case of the State of Indiana vs. Liberty Cross, for assault with intent to commit a felony went to the jury Tuesday afternoon at 4:55 o'clock. At 9:00 that evening a verdict of guilty was reached. It required four ballots to reach this decision. The first was taken before supper and resulted in 8 for conviction, 2 for a jail sentence, and 2 for acquittal. Immediately after supper a second ballot was taken resulting as before 8 to 4. The third gave 9 for conviction and 3 for acquittal. On the fourth ballot the jury came to an agreement, and found the prisoner guilty. Upon the announcement of their verdict, the attorneys for the defense notified the court that they would ask for a new trial. The arguments will probably be heard during the latter part of this session. It is probable that no new trial will be allowed by the court. Thus Plymouth is rid, for a couple of years at least, of one of the most disreputable characters that has molested and asaulted our mailmen, our women and our children. This is- the same Cross and the same case that the daily Independent and Weekly Democrat undertook to defend and stated that there prob-

ably was no ground for the arrest. Now it is up to the supreme court to rid us of another and more atrocious criminal. Slowly but surely the wheels of justice revolve. Every dog has his day.

Death of One of the Early Pioneers. Announcement has reached here of the death on Wednesday of last week at his home near Lincoln, Nebraska, of William Edward Thompson, one of the earliest pioneers of Marshall county. He was born irr Hamilton county, Ohio, April 2, 1818 and early in life with his parents settled in Rush county, Indiana. In February 183G he and a comrade came to Marshall county, an!d on the north east side of Lake Maxinkucke erected a log cabin, into which his parT ents and others found shelter when they arrived on the 26th of July 1836. Four years later, October 22, 1840, he was married to Martha McDonald, the only aunt on his father's side of Mr. Daniel McDonald of this place. Eleven children were born to this union most of whom are living irt Marshall county and in Lincoln, Nebraska. His wife who survives him, Martha McDonald Thompson, was born in Hamilton county, Ohio, July 17, 1820, and with her parents removed to Rush county, Indiana about 1S22, and came with the caravan that" arrived i:: Marshall county east of Maxinkuckce lake July 2C, 1836. ..Mr. amd Mrs. Thompson removed to Lincoln, Nebraska, thirty odd years ago, wehere they have since resided. "Uncle Ed Thompson," as he was familiarly called, was a hard worker in hs early days, and chopped down as many trees, split as many rails, grubbed as many roots, sawed as many boards with a "whip saw," "during his: early years in Marshall county as any other man that lived here the same length of time. He made no pretensions to being better than those with whom he associated, i ! j I "But he lived for those who lovd him, For those who knew him true. For the skies that smiled above htm And awaits his spirit too. For the good that needs assistance, For the wrongs that need resistance, For the future in the distance. And the good that he could do." Daniel McDonald. Plymouth, Ind.

In Circuit Court. , The case of Emery Kin Cole versus Moses Rose, for commission on selling horse, was concluded Thursday. The plaintiff was awarded $15.

The biute knocked her down and trampled upon her until driven off by her little grandson, and even after that attempted several times to repeat the attack. The entire portion of Mrs King's left ear was cut off by the animal's sharp hoofs, a gash was cut in her scalp above the forehead and sne was rendered unconscious for some time.

Mr. Kellison Speaks Out Editor Tribune: Aked my opinion in regard to the proposed railroad tax, I will say: First. I heartily indorse the views and sentiments expressed in the letters of Daniel McDonald and Josiah Jacoby, as published in your paper. Second. Having always realized the monstrous injustice of the law placing it in the power of one maa, perhaps without taxable property, .o vote a tax upon a man who has taxable property, or of one mart with property to vote a tax on another man with property, and especially the injustice of the law permitting the levying of such a tax by a majority vote, when that majority may not represent one-quarter of the taxable property of the township. The writer, when a member of the Legislature of Indiana, twenty years ago, introduced a bill and tried to secure its passage, making it necessary to have a TwönurTTYöte before" such tax could be carried. This bill failed for the same reason that Mr. McDonald's bill tailed the railroad lobby and the promoter's lobby were too strong to be overcome. Third. I am further especially opposed "to this tax, in this particular case, for another reason. I believe that the principles ö'f common sense and common business prudence ought tobe put in practice when it comes to matters affecting the relations of the people of the county seat w.'th the people of the outside townships. The town' of Bourbon and Bourbon township is a large and respectable part of Marshall county, and the people of Plymouth ought to have foresight enough to see that it cannot do a wrong to the people of any part of this- county without suffering for it, at least in a business way. i Are the merchants of Plymouth ready and willing to invite the hostility and defy the good will of the people of Bourbon township? I tell you if you do, you will make more enemies in that one Ulay than you can win back in twenty years. Fourth. Again, I am especially opposed to the tax in this case for the reason that I believe that we as a township, or as a city, ought to deal fairly and justly with the people of Bourbdn township, the same as men in the private business affairs of life ought to do with their neighbors. This railroad was practically offered to Plymouth a long time ago. if a tax was voted in this township but Center township and the City of Plymouth turned them away, and they went and knocked at the door of Bourbon township, and Bourbon twnship took them in, and not only prmised to do, but did everything that was asked of them. In so doing,' the people of Bourbon, our neighbors, went to considerable expense and a great amount of trouble, and the railroad has turned its back on them. Now it comes again to the City of Plymouth and asks Center twnship to vote an enormous tax on its people to steal from Bourbon what should belong to it as a matter of right and asks us to do them a wrong. Fifth. Even if the people of Plymouth are base enough to desire to do wrong, they ought to have shrewdness enough not to permit themselves to be fooled around by a lot of adventurers. Fifty-five thousand dollars is a nice little sum of money, and if ten thousand of it was put in the right place, it is easy to see ' that almost any proposition would receive a large vote. If the law permitted a tax to be voted to start a merchant, a manufacturer or a hotel keeper in business, and a petition were filed by such person for an election, it is easy to see that the party asking the gift or charity could well afford to spend one half the donation to get the votes and influences to carry the election, and then be way ahead of the game. Sixth. It will be told to the working man, on the sly, that it will be a good thing for hian; that it will give him a lot of work, etc. This is a very catchy argument, and is likely to secure . votes from those who are not actuated by principle w'hen it come to voting heavy burdens on their neighbors. But when it comes- time to build the road, if ever, the working man will see a swarm of dagos, and other laborers of "that class "doing the work. The laboring men won't get a smell, and if they do, it will be on the condition that they work alongside of a class of menr who live like cattle, and who will sting them out like a nest of hornets. Seventh. The petition in this case is almost wanting in conditions calculated to protect the people. It requires nothing of the railroad people, except that the road run in Center township and in the city. It does not require it to run in any particular part of the city or township, nor does it require the railroad to run through the city or township. It makes no requirement to employ labor in the township or city, and does not require the company to make, build or maintain any structures, stations or power houses. It is all give, and nothing particular in return: It is a donation, pure and simple, to some gentlemen who never paid a dollar of taxes in this township in theii lives. We wiU pay just the same for riding on this railroad as we now pay for riding on the steam roads. When we get interurbans paralleling the steam roads, then the railroads' will go into court and prove that the two cent rate is oppressive, unjust, unreasonably low and destructive to their business anj they will ask the Federal courts to declare the two cent rate law unconstitutional, and they will probably succeed. As it is, the s'tcam roads can carry passengers for two cent a mile because they get all the trade in this county and secure more travel, but when we get interurbans paralleling

them, the electric roads will get most

of the local business from the steam

roads and then will begin the attacks on the two cent rate law. Two roads can't live on the business and income

of one, and then we may see a knock

out of cheap rates, because the courts will not uphold a law that confiscates rights and property, especially where a railroad goes in a United States court and asks protection. Oct. 2d 1907. Chas. Kelliscn.

Abdication of Portugal's Ruler Expected Within a Few Days. Boycotted by pracacally all the leading families in his realm, King Carlos of Portugal, has weakened under the pressure brought upon him by the allied opposition party leaders and will probably abdicate within a few days in favor of the crown prince. Against political attacks the king seemed impervous. The social campaign now being ' waged against him is proving too much for him, however, and he is said already to have iignified that he prefers surrender to a continuation of the persecution to which he has lately been subjected. The boycott, deliberately engineered by Luciano de Castro, the Liberal leader, culminated Saturday with the refusal of all the members of the foreign ministry, of the opposition parties and of the council of state to attend the triple celebration in honor of the double birthdays of the king and queen and the crown prince's return from his African tour. With the refusal to take part in the reception, an intimation was given to the king that the same policy would be pursued with all royal functions during the continuation of the dictatorship. Admitting that a palace reception unattended by the principal men of the kingdom would be a farce, Carlos abandoned the time-honored method of observing his own and his queen's anniversaries and announced that they would receive their friends' congratulations' on the arsenal wharf when they went to greet the crown prince a plan by which the monarch hopes to offset a turn-out of the common people the absence of the aristocracy. Such fear was felt, however, of a popular outbreak, that extraordinary military precautions were taken to maintain order. . Four lines of troops surround the docks- and guard the streets. Numerous "detectives are shadowing suspects.

President's Speeches Eagerly Awaited President Roosevelt left Washington Sunday upon a trip that may prove epochal. For a week hence the eyes of the country will be focused upon the executive's path across the states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and will follow him in his course down the Father of Waters from Keokuk to Memphis. Every hour of the time until, in pursuit of large game, he hides himself in the canebrakes of Louisiana on Saturday for two weeks of absolute relief from public duty, his movements will be watched with greater interest than when he is at the helm at the capital. The reasons for this" peculiar intertest at this particular time are several. There are sentimental, economic and' industrial reason? and, of more intense interest to the people far and wide, political reasons. Six important speeches; have been prepared for delivery before the return to Washington the latter part of October, and most of these will be spoken prior to the vacation hunt. Undoubtedly many impromptu speeches will be sandwiched in between the more formal addresses, at various points at whicli brief stops will be made.

evidence was running, Prosecutor

Molter asked the court to either dismiss; the case, or instruct the jury to acquit the prisoner. The- latter was done and Hill now has his liberty.

Lapaz Items. The farmer will have enough tax to paywithout voting for a street car subsidy. Let us keep our money! at "home for ditching and road improvement. It is likely that the school-building in Lapaz will soon be condemned. This will mean a new building next year. This is a golden opportunity for Lapaz to work for consolidated schools: and a commissioned high school. Nine-tenths of the farmers of North township will vote against the subs'idy tax; not more than onefourth of tlie citizens of Lapaz will vote for it. Keep this in mind. After the election give an answer to the question. How is this for good guessing? This will be the las election of the kinid in this: neck of the woods. Hon. Daniel McDonaM's communication against the subsidy tax which appeared in the Plymouth Tribune of the 26th ult. was read with interest by many in and around Lapaz. The article is a campaign document of the bes't .class. It is hope the next legislature will give the subsidy business something worse than a black eye.

Notice to thei Public. .Importance of Records of Deaths and Births. The Vital Statistic- Law passed by the last legislature will be put into force October 1st, by the State Board of Heahh. This law requires doctors and midwives to report all deaths, births and infectious diseases they attend upon blanks! supplied bv the State Board. When no doctor or midwife is in attendance, then report shall be made by the houscholderi. These legal records are of tthe greatest importance to families and to the state. In hundred of instances in t4ie past, inheritances insurance and pensions have been lost because no legal records existed of death or of birth. In one instance in Indiana an inheritance of $12,000 reverted to the national treasury of Switzerland, because the doctor had not reported the birth of the person. This record would have proved the required relationship. Any family is likely at any time to need records of births and' deaths, and all are Therefore interested in having the same reported and properly recorded. Besides being of the utmost importance and value at unexpected times' to families and individuals, these records arc essential for the scientific control of sanitary affairs. Boards of Health must know who is- dying, where the are dying and what they are dying of in order to intelligently conduct disease prevention work. This information is given by vital statistics. The State Board of Health requests all citizens to co-operate with physicians anvi healfh officers in this important work by seeing to it that correct records are made of the deaths, births "and contagious i diseases' occurring in their families.

Schäfer Case Re-Opened. Prosecutor Fletcher of Bedford; Ind., held an inquiry this week, and although all the witnesses were sworn to secrecy, it develops that the; investigation sprung from a remark byi a young woman near Medora, that she was possessed of information that might unravel the mystery surrounding the murder of Miss Schäfer, the Latin teacher, in Bedford, some years ago, the most mysterious crime ever enacted in Southern Indiana. A young man was called before the prosecutor and was subjected to a strenuous cross-examination. Other witnesses from Washington county were also called. It is sard! that the prosecutor is being assisted by a detective whose expenses have been guaranteed by parties who have pledged themselves) to unravel the, Schäfer mystery. The reopening of the case is causing much interest among citizens, who firmly believe that tht guilty party some day will be known.
