From Tuasdajr*s Mitly.

A row at a dance at the residence George Eineade in the suburban Till of Macksvllle last Wednesday night the cause of a trial of Ave young residents of that place for riot in Justice Gartrell's court this afternoon. A sixjfr named Virgil Beck skipped out and w|fl not arrested. The five persons on trifl were Wm. Morris, Wm. Collier, Thomw Greer, John Field and Raymond ers. Justice Gartrell's little court mom was filled to overflowing with a delegation from Macksville. KincAde, the complaining witness, testified that he gave aj dance last Wednesday night, at which a large orowd was in attendance^ that a number of the boys of Macksville, were there bent on a row, among tkemi being several of the defendants, whom he identified. He said Collier commenced the trouble. He asked Collier if he wanted a number. Collier said he didn't sad commenced making trouble. He took the belligerent individual out. and talked the situation over with him sitting on a wood-pile, and that Collier's wrstn was in a measure satisfied. Collier, hel says, then came in, struck at a fellow, and was put out. The door was bolted, and Collier demanded admittance. This was refused him. He disguised his voice and said his name was Kufe Bailey, but Kincade said he recognised his voice and heeded Mm not. Then the door Was battered in with poles Kincade put up the door as fast as it was knocked down until finally it was reduced to smithereenB, and nothing was left of it but the hinges. Then brick-bats, rocks, joes and other articles of destruction were nurled into the room, the lamp was knocked down by a rock, which left the room in darkness, and to add to the terror of the guests Kincade's brotber-in-law fired off a revolver, which had no perceptible effect on the rioters except to add greatly to the general fright'. The row occurred between 10 ana 11 o'clock. Kincade could only identify Green, Morris and Collier among the riotera. On cross-examina-tion, Kincade said he was doing all. he could to keep down the peace, whioh thfe attorney for the a sensed turned to good account by remarking: ''You were afraid, then, there would be some peace and were trying to keep it down." Adah Goff swore on cross-ex-amination, in answer to a question pro-4 posed by defendant's counsel, that the door wasn't hung on a tooth-pick, and.

On Thursday tnornmg of last wePk be suddenly became violently insane and it has taken several persons ever since to restrain bitn. Sunday nigbt five men could scarcely hold him in his bed.

This morning the ieoncluding evideooo the esse lor divoree bronght by John B. Okes against Ary Okes was. heard hy Judge£Allen in the Buperiot Court, and the court refused to grant the application on account of failure 0/ proof. Ia {this county, where divorcee have been granted all the way irom five to fifteen minutes after the filing ot the suit, the present case ia all the more exceptional. Okes alleged as grounds for action that his wife had abandoned him and had treated him cruelly. Evidence in support of this was that she left him several months ago ard that on one occasion she Struck him: The statute requires two

Sient|ofand

ears separation to make abandonss to the striking it was shown that she struck him in defense of herself. Tbe testimony showed tbat Okes himself wss more to blsme than his wife. The children, four in number, remain with Mrs. Okes. One of them took the stand. In response to the court, who asked him why he lived with his inother if she treated his father cruelly, he said he did so because she treated him better than his father, who mistreated his mother. Okes lives in the county, south if town. The parties have been married wenty-five years. Judge Allen said thia afternoon he knew of no other case where he had ret used a divorce.

JASPER BREAKING HIS WORD.

All His Promises of a Rcffera la Mia Mode of Liviaf» Going For Naught When Jasper Nelson was released from jail here he made a solemn vow that he would never drink another drop of whiskey and that he was going to live life so irreproachable ss to stand out in great contrast to his former mode of living. In a tew weeks sfterward Jasper so far forgot himselt as to be so drunk and boisterous here as to warrant his arrest, and now comes the Anderson Star, of yesterday which says: "Two affidavits against Jasper Nelson for intoxication ana assault and battery, and two against Pat Cain -for intoxication and provoke were filed the Mayor's office this. morning. The affidavits are the result of a fight between the parties last night. No arrests have been made yet." ,«• Jlf lil76-a)' Raaaway...®^.

The horfie attached to one 6f the new delivery wagons belonging to P. J. Kauffman, ran away this morning. Tbe driver Henry Robinson, hsd Stopped at the residence of Stephen J.

At the malt house at tbe distillery ho bro*e loose from the last remnants of the wag^n he had been breaking into kindling wood on the way, and disappeared in the distance. Several persons tried ineffectually to stop him. He came very near running over a number of persons. Originally irightefttd by the barking of a dog, he seemed to exert an attractive force on the canine race, and as he ran accumulated dogs. It seemed while he was running about the southwest part of the city as if all the dogs in that populous section were yelping in his wake. ]7V"

it is hardly expected thst much trouble will be encountered in getting a jury, though on that question there appears to be a variety of opinions. It is likely tbat the work of impanaeling a jury will take up all day to-a.orrow, and that the introduction of evidence Will not commence betore Friday morning St tbe earlies^ and perhaps not then. Judge Sheltou will have assisting him in the prosecution of the oase Mr. A. J. Kelley, who is counsel for the Bronnen bergs, who are Mothers of the deceased, and an attorney who is familiar with the Anderson branch of the case. The line of the defense, it is thought, will be to show that.Manis was in Indianapolis at and about the time Mrs. Nelson was made awsy with. The trial is expected to attract great interest, as the case has, in one phase or another, been a prominent topic of conversation in this county for months, and the public has been more than commonly interested in every feature as itr. has been unraveled. The trial will last over a week and may go down to posterity as one of the famous murder trials of Vigo county. PERKY BS&XHKRITKD BY HIB FATMBtR,

EIGHT YEARS FOE Ii*E&T •,

Finding of Joryinthe Case ofths Two Habbarde.

Yesterday evening the.case of Sherman and William Hubbard, charged with rape on the perron ot Clara Hobbs, aged 11, went to the jury. v^ci^jstiirned flora fifteen miiittteB letR&ratfon with a Verdict of guilty and a~sentence of eight years in the penitentiary One of the jurors was fer seven years, which was the lowest suggested in the jury room, while the highest was ten years Prosecutor Shelton while addressing the jury tor tfc* state was seinsrl wtth a slight attack Ot .fetfiga -aiS^ 'was' taken into ah ante room, where he soon recovered. The statute punishment for rape is from five to twenty-one years. The esse was not an aggravated one for the reason that the child was not bright, and tbe exceedingly bad character of the prisoners. both of whom are ex-convicts, wasr show* on -thf trial. Sherman Hubbard is the husband ai -itke notorious "Shorty" Hubbard, and '1 the trio, which includes "Brother WUlHuh," have figured quite exrthsively in police circles for years. Thej were brought up and raised in Tet iM^fiautu and allowed to rua the streets without anv restraining influence, and from petty pilfeiings) early in life graduated into tbe hardest school of criminals. They took the verdict very coolly, Sherman remarking that eight yeara was a short time that he could stand on his head that long. They were taken back to jail. Their attorneys will make no motion for a new.trial and the prisoners will enter on their long and justly deserved term the early part of next week.
