HIS SECOND TRIAL IN OCTOBER SPENCER, Ind., The friends of Emory Ctissoll recently tried in the Owen County Circuit Court, for the murder of Thomas Mills, the jury failing to agree, have finished filling

week.”
| Cassell shows the effects of his five I months confinement and the severe I mental strain he has been under. “This fresh air feels good today, doesn’t it?” said he, and the smile that accompanied his words made his listeners doubly sorry that his free-
dom was but temporary.
At the timo the attorneys for Cassell asked for his release on bail the State asked that the bond be placed at 110,000, but Judge James L. Clark
out the $.->,0u0 bond required by the who presided in the case, fixed the court, and last Friday he was releas-i amount at $,i,o00. It is certain that

In company with his young wife he left for the home of Frank McComick, who was formerly his guardian, and will remain there until his second trial, which will be held in the October term of court. The bond as accepted by Sheriff Stinkard contains the names of F. H. McCormick, J P. Devore, Grant Dunkin, W. E. McQuat, W. H. Gallup, Thomas Rule, A. D. Rule, A. D. Snider and Grant Cassell, representing in total about
the case will come to trial again in spite of rumors to the contrary, as the attorneys for the State are still confident they have a much stronger case against Cassell than the standing of the jury might indicate.

There is a well founded belief that tobacco can be raised in Clay county successfully and profitably. It Is not known that any scientific effort at tobacco raising has never been made here, but those posted in such matters firmly believe that both the soil and climate here are suitable to the successful growing of tobacco. A thorough test of the crop is being made In this county at present and this fall will tell the story as to whether or not the farmers of Clay county are to have another profitable crop. The tost mentioned is being made on the farm of M. H. Johnson, just north of the city, and the grower is Abe Potter. Mr. Potter is thoroughly posted on tobacco, and is satisfied it will prove the success he hopes
for.
A a matter of fact it is quite high

J. F. O’Brien of Cloverdale is the author of the following letter which is published on the editor!'.'1 page of the Indianapolis Star. The two line comment is written by a Star editorial writer. To The Indianapolis Star. .. “Your Democratic readers here at Cloverdale feel that you are entitled to sincere congratulations for your decision to take The Slar out of the category of indecision and that it has nt last falllen out of the balance of uncertainy, and that you will cease to be a trifier or palterer “until the eleventh hour,” ‘waiting to see which way the cat is going to jump.’ (Are we to infer the News lias its eye on the cat.) “We now expect you to support with great vigor everything that Republicanism stands for, we expect you to i>oint out that the protective tariff system is the chief blessing, and if it is ever revised it must be done by its friends, and that it does not nurture trusts, but if it does, a trust is a good thing and is only the outcropping of the times. “We expect you to denounce Bryan and Mr. Kern and everything they recommend and say that they are visionaries and purveyors of false and vicious enemies ttiat all Democrats who support them are kindred
spirits.
"We expect you to land the posi-1 tion taken by the Chicago conven-1 tlon refusing to give out any information relating to campaign contributions made by the Standard Oil Company, the Steel Trust, the Insurance Trust, or any other trust, to the Republican party for the purpose of helping to secure honest (?) elections, for how can the public press be subsidized without money? For how can the Ignorant floating vote be secured without money? “We expect you to write flaming editorials explaining the goodness of heart that prompts artifleal beings, invisible and intangible beings having existence only in contemplation of corrupt law, to poses. You will probably be able to give us some information concerning the anatomy of the heart of the “system” and tell us whether it floats In gastric juice or in pericardial fluid. “We expect you to teach us that the trust-fattened corporations are public benefactors, whose sole motive for making liberal contributions to the Taft campaign is their deep and heart-feit interest in the welfare of that class of individuals denominated by the wielder of the “big stick" as "mollycoddles.” “We expect you to roar, rum, Romanism and rebellion and on every suitable occasion to unfurl to the

If it proves a success this season he will-put in twenty acres of tobacco next year. A number of years ago tobacco was raised successfully in Montgomery county, forty miles north of here, but the crops were put in by people formerly of the

COAL COAL
After a search that continued for three days and caused the closely pursued thieves to abandon the stol on property in order to make their own escape, the- authorities succeeded in recovering near Reynolds, Ind. Sunday the horse and buggy stolen Wednesday night from the barn of John W. Smith, living a few miles from Crawfordsville. The stolen outfit was abandoned by the thieves at the farm of Henry Shultz, four miles south of Reynolds, in White County, and about fifty miles north of Crawfordsville. On Thursday morning fol lowing the theft the horse and buggy being driven north by the thieves, was seen at Round Hill. The chase was at once instituted and at the farm of Mr. Shultz, the robbers who suspected that they were being followed, decided to abandon the outfit. The horse was unhitched from the buggy and turn ed loose in a 200 acre pasture of Mr. Shultz, where perhaps thirty or forty other horses were grazing. The buggy and harness were hidden in clump of bushes not far from the road. The rig was discovered there Thursday evening. Suspecting that the two thieves would return for the property, the authorities waited ambush near there for a couple nights in the hope that they might capture the robbers when they returned for the property. By Sunday morning they had not returned, so was decided to take charge of the property. The authorities are still on the search for the thieves, of whom they have a good description. The thieves are two men, whom Mr. Smith suspects are (ramps that passed by his farm and, fooling that riding Is al ways better than walking, decided hook up the horse to his buggy and drive away on their weary-willle journey northward.—-Crawfordsville Review.
