The way below zero weather for two nights running has made good ice on the river and C. C. Starr started his ice plow this morning, and will go to cribbing his crop, tomorrow. The ice is 7 or 8 inches thick. Mies Rose Coate, of Wabash, who has been the guest the past week of Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Sample, near Vai ma, and Miss Dora English in town, returned home yesterday. Her nephew, Parker Sample, accompanied her, and will remain for a week’s visit. So far as the trial of Mrs. Lyda and Starr Cox has progressed, it seems to us that the state has not made out a case that would at all justify a conviction. Some suspicious circumstances have been shown, but the defense has made at least a very plausible explanasion of most of these, and has presented as many or more circumstances suggesting suicide, as the «tate has suggesting murder. Unless the state makes a stronger rebuttal than it did in direct evidence we shall not look for a conviction of either one of the accused.
