THE FAIR.

Annual Report of Joseph Gilbert,

Secretary of the Vigo Agricultural Society

Bead at the Annnal Meeting of the Stockholders of the Society.

The following report of Secretary Gilbert was reaJ ai the meeting of the stockholders of the society held on Saturday It will be fcund interesting. The lUt of directors was published Monday. The electi^jf'officers takes place next Saturday Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Vigo

Agricultural Society: We have met to-day to hear the reports of officers, and to consult together in regard to the best interests of the society, and. after noon, to elect twelve directors to manage its affairs during the present year.

The grounds we occupy belong to Vigo County. They contain 51 530-100 acres and were purchased by the commission era, C. W. Barbour, A. B. Pegg and John L. Brown in April. l£67,»at an expense $175.00 per am, which with interest amounted to $10,000, on

beinL'

petitioned

to do HO by over one thousand taxpayers of the county, and leased to this society October 18th, 1867, for twenty years.

All the improvements belong to the society, and at the end of the lease may be removed, except the fence. The grounds were bought for a permanent Fair Grounds, and at the expiration of the lease it will, of course, be renewed for the same purpose. (And I here wish to enter my solemn protest against any other disposition of the grounds either before or at the expiration of the lease.)

The grounds should as fast as possible be ornamented and improved, and made into a beautiful parity a resort for the people, which will not in the least interfere with its use a3 a Fair Ground. And all new buildings and improvements should be maue in accordance with that idea.

The capital stock of the society consists of $10,000, divided into 400 shares at $35 per share. So far 141 shares, $3,020, have been sold, and are now owned by 120 persons.

The society has never sold a share of for less than $25 dollars, its par value, although shares have changed hands at a l«ss price. The society never should sell any for a less price, and the Directors should be prohibited from so doing.

The free admission of the stockholder to the Fair will alone be a good dividend on one share of stock, which is all that anv person need to own.

The Society is in debt aU the Savings Bank $750.00, which will become due in February. The money was borrowed in 1870 for the purpose of paying premiums in full. Since then the Society has adhered to the policy of making the Fair self-supporting," and liberal premiums have been offered payable "proraia." After paying the expenses, if the balance was not sufficient to pay in full the premiums one paid "prorata." The past year anew rule was adopted. "When live entries were made for a premium it was paid in full, the other "prorata." Apart being paid in full,reduced rapidly the remainder. Some were this a pa id in he a an 3 3 cent. In the speed ring we required 5 entries and paid the premiums in full. As we got back one half of the amount before the race started. We really only paid 50 cents on the dollar.

We adopted the policy of charging an entry fee of 10 per cent, on each entry. In the races where $300 was offered, diveded in two purses of $150, $100 and $50 the entry fee was $30 teams for light harness $15.00, divided into $10, for 1st $5, for 2nd the fee was $1.50. Collection of vegetables $14, $8 1st, $6 2nd, fee $1,40.

A number of persons were dissatisfied and refused to pay the entry fee on the second premium. 'fhey were only willing to pay 10 per cent, on the first premium and wanted the chance for the second and third premiums without paying anything for it. The matter being brought before the Board, and several of the principle exhibitors being present and declaring they would not make entries and would take their stock home unless the rule was changed, the Board decided by a vote of five to four to change the rule, and only charge entry fee on the first premium, cxcept in the races.

AUXILIARY SOCIETIES.

The policy jf allowing other societies to take charge of the different departments has been a success. The Horticultural Society for several yeais has had charge of the fruits, flowers, bread, butter, cakes, &c., aad the Poultry Association has for two years previous to this had charge of the poultry department, and made a grand success. This year for reasons, but known to themselves, they refused to accept the invitation of the Boaid, and a portion of the association did all they could to prevent an ex hibition of poultry, and succeeded admirably, only eleven entries being made.

This socicty should encourage the organization of associations for promoting other interests, bee culture, swine breeding, sheep breeding, fish culture also should ha\ the ladies take charge of those parts of the exhibition in which they are most interested, cooking, needlework, paintings, &c.

SPECIAL rKE.MirMS.

One of the most interesting features of the Fair has been the list of premiums offered by the business men and others. It has always attracted more attention than the society premiums.

This year the number was larger than usual but a great many of the amounts were too smalL

The person giving the premium should do so to encourage the society and its objects, in general and some article in particular. In doing so advertise the giver's business, and some special article made or sold by him. The hotels, rail roads, newspapers and manufactories,— in fact every business in the city should DO represented in the list, so also individuals not engaged in active business, In

addition to the people of the city, thefa^j^- •Aimers should all give a premium for some purpose payable in corn, wheat, potatoes, apples, wood or some other product. An important change was made the past year. An exhibitor can now enfer an animal or article for as many premiums as he pleases. Heretofore he was allowed to make but one entry of an article except in collections.

Improvements and repairs during the ar amounted to over $700, inclutfi

year amounted to over luciuuing a roof on the dwelling and Mechanical Hall, and some new fences. The fences and buildings are old and will need constant repairs. Beside the increasing importance of the fair will require new buildings every year. The society should build at least one building each year.

A bill for 50.00 was presented to the Society after the Fair by Allex Persons for services in driving one of the horses in a race at the lair. Payment was refused. Suit was brought before Justice Cookerly and judgement given -against the Society for the full amount. The case has been appealed to the Circuit court.

The ground, including pasture, dwelling and part of the stalls have been rented the present year to J. M. Dishon—for 250.

The receipts at the Gates at the late Fair were $?,049,54, in 1879 $3,395,92. a decrease of nearly $1,400 which interfered very much with our finances. The principle cause was Barnums show which came on Friday, our principle day, and had its tent packed full in the afternoon and at night

Another drawback was the political campaign which always interferes with our fairs and which usually come just before election. So much time is spent attending political meetings that there seems to be no time for fairs.

There is due this society from J. M. Dishon, or rather will be March 1st, about $180, balance on rent also, a few small accounts.

The society is out of debt except the one note in the Savings' Bank—$750. think that the rents of the grounds, sales of stock and the show license fund should be set apart to pay the note, as they are no part of the receipt of the fair.

According to the policy pursued during the last two years it will be impossible to pay the note until we first pay the premiums in full and have a sufficient balance left,

Respectfully submitted, Jos. GILBERT,

Second Day of His Trial in the Criminal Court.

The Opening Statements—"Fierspn Had a Eight to Kill Every Mother's Son of Them."

A Witness For the State Contradict* ing Himself—Close CrossQuestioning-

The second day of the Pierson murder trial is marked by increasing interest The Circuit Court room was crowded to its utmost at the opening of court, and some were unable to obtain admittance. Pierson sat in front of the judge's bench, and manifested great interest in the proceedings. At his side was his wife, an elderly woman attired in black, and not far off his daughter, step-daughter and other relatives. David Woods sat near the counsel for the prosecution. a? trial gives promise of being a long and tedious one.

COURT OPES ED.

Judge Long opened court at 9:30 and upon roll call it was discovered that one of the jurors was absent. His^ame was Isaac C. Woods and the cleak called him from tba window. Ten minutes elapsed and the absent juryman took his seat. Isaac N. Pierce, of the counsel for the state, staged the case for the prosecution. He read the indictment and then the statutes defining murder in the first and second degrees and manslaughter. He said the defendant could be convicted on anyone of these charges. This would be developed: Pierson became t^flbbtcd to Woods and a judgement was obtained against him. After a year had elapssd under the statute, Woods instituted suit for a writ of ejectment and was granted it. It appeared from the first that

PIERSOX MADE UP HIS MIND

That the law should not take its course. He openly made- threats that he would kill anybody who interfered with him. The sheriff put Woods in possession, but it was for a time only. Pierson, who was al "jnt at the time, returned and took possession, and has held it up to the present time. There are 40 acres of land in controversy. Woods holds thirty acres and Pierson lives on the ten acres in spite of all that could be done to prevent him. Oqe night Pierson and a band of followers nrade a raid on Woods' thirty acres and carried off half the grain. Woods went over to Pierson's 8^xl after and the old man told him to get. Ho got. [Laughter.] Then Woods came to town and swore out a peace warrant before Justice Denehie. At this stage of the proceedings

THE MURDERED MAN

comes on. He was given the warrant and went down in company with the Sheriff and a party to arrest Pierson. The Sheriff had a writ of replevin for the grain taken off the thirty acres. Upon reaching Pierson's house the officer demanded admittance, at the same time stating that he was an officer. He was refused admittance and shoved in the door. Mrs. Pierson asked to be let out of the house with her children, but Ash told her he would harm nobody. Soon after a discharge from a shot gun held by Pierson was heard, and Ash was wounded. He died early the next morning from the effects. An officer, said Mr. Pierce, is a person clothed with authority to make arrests. When Ash informed Pierson that ho had a warrant for him he had a right to use any means to get him into custody.

BTATEMENTOP THE DEFENSE. Judge C. F. McNutt followed. He said the defense admitted that Ash was killed by Pierson. But the wrong njan was indicted. If Pierson had his rights he would be the prosecuting witness and the men who roboed him of his property, and the officers who conspired and went down to kill him, would be on trial. Pierson, he said, started out in life at the age of 18 and by economy accumulated about 400 acres of land. He was noted for his frugality, honesty and intelligence. Some years ago while in Newton Bledsoe's blacksmith shop he was .. KICKED IN THE HEAD

by a refractory horse. For six days he lay helpless. Then a sudden change came over the man. Periodically insane spells came on him he would rise up in the middle 9f the night and half clad, mount a horse and be off with the wind. He had a perfeA mania for trading and it happened that he had neighbors (not neighbors in the scriptural sense) who discovered this fatal weakness. They watched their opportunity as the thief watches the drunken debauehe of his victini| and robbed him of house and home.

ASH WAS NO OFFICER.

A man's house, said the Judge, is his castle. It may not be a mansion it may be but a log cabin, but the occupant has rights which everyone, even officers, must respect. The officers whose duty it was to serve the warrant refused, and Wm. Ash was deputized to yo down and arrest Pierson. He was not a special constable nor any other kind of a constable, and was no more than a common citizen. A bonus was offered Ash by Slepp and Woods to take the writ. Piersou had a perfect right to kill Ash and every mother's son of them. The Judge was bitter in his denunciation of Woods and the officers. The defense would prove that three shots were fired at Pierson before he retaliated.

JACHBOS PTEFP

was the first witness to take the stand and occupied the rest of the morning session, lie testified that Ash, Watts ana himself left here about 1 o'clock on the day of November 26th they reached Woods place shortly after 5 o'clock and ate supper Ash commanded all of them to assist him in making the arrest Ash knocked at the door and a voice wanted to know who was there Ash replied that he was an officer and had a warrrnt for Pierson's arrest He pushed open the door and went in. The witness and

no »ae J-Ash called at them to strike a match and Piereon knocked them out their hands with his shot gun as fast as they struck them. Pierson was standing behind the barricade in his nteht clothes and had a gun in his hand Ash cried to Woods to push open the back door. Soon after a shot came from where Pierson stood and Watts turned and asked Ash if he was hit. He replied no, and then a second and louder report followed. Ash cried that he was killed, or something to that effect, and staggered out the door. I had a revolver in my hand and fired one shot about six feet up I then went out and we carried Ash over to Wm. Chris's house. I went down to execute a writ of replevin I came home that night Ash died early the next morning.

CB08S-EXAMINATI0N.

The cross-examination was conducted by Sant C. Davis and he made a vigorous onslaught on the witness, who contradicted himself again and again, and finally tangled himself up so helplessly that he really was to be pitied. "Have you any feeling in this case!" asked Sir. Davis. "No, I don't think I have," replied the witness. "Are you taking active part in the prosecution?" "No." "Whoemploys Mr. Pierce?"

This appeared to confuse the witness. He didn't know. Yes, Mr. Pierce was his attorney as Sheriff. He did talk to Mr. Pierce about the case, but did not know who hired him. Pierson, as far as he knew, fired the first shot he had a double-barreled shot gun. The witness was certain that Pierson fired the second one, because he saw a long stream of flame come out of the gun the first shot was alight one. "Were you inside the room when the first «hot was fired "I was."

The witness continued: I didn't see a stream ot flame at the first shot. I did not fire the first shot, but fired the third.

i4What

did you fire for?"

"Well, I wanted to let Mr. Pierson know that somebody else besides him was armed. I heard only three shots. My revolver was a No. 88." "Then you wanted to let Pierson know that you carried a No. 38. Was that tne reason you fired?" (Laughter.) "I didn't wan't to get shot," pleaded the witness. "Did you testify before the Coroner's jury?" "I did." "Is your memory just as fresh now as it was then "It ought to be." "Why didn't you testify at the Coroner's inquest that you fired the third shot?" "I wasn't asked that question."

Mr. Davis here read Sheriff Stepp's evidence before the Coroner's iqnuest. Then he turned to the witness and asked him if that was his signature attached. "It looks like it." "State to the court and jury why you testify here that there were three shots, when at the Coroner's inquest you testified there were only two."

The witness looked helpless. He put OH his eye glasses and looked at the Coroner's inquest upside down. He said he meant there were but two shots fired from the shot gun. "Do you know a man named Richard Cochran "I believe I do." "Did you not tell him that you would have fired five times if your pistol hadn't snapped "I dont recollect it." "Did you tell at Chris house that if your pistol hadn't snapped you would have saved Ash's life "No"

Did you tell E. S- Erney, Jesse Robertson aod Mr. Daily that you fired the fir si shot?" "No mf pistol did snap once though"

Mr. Piercc objected to Mr. Davis going over the same ground two or three times. Mr. Davis said that only that minute did Mr. Stepp say anything about the snapping.

The witness didn't know whether it was before or after Pierson shot the second time that the pistol snapped. He didn't recollect saying to S. D. Terry that none of the officers had fired.

It was 12 30 and the court adjourned for dinner. At 2 o'clock it reassembled and the cross examination of Mr. Stepp was resumed.
