Irvin, the young man who until recently conducted a general merchandise store at Baileyville, in Ferguson township, is indeed lucky. On Monday judge Love sentenced him to pay the costs of prosecu- tion, $500 fine and undergo an imprison- ment of three years and four months in solitary confinement at hard labor in the western penitentiary. Irvin’s luck lies in the fact that his sen- When it is considered that he might have gotten seven years, and few people thought he would escape with less than five, his good fortune is evident.

When the verdict of guilty had been rendered Messrs Reeder & Quigley moved at once for a new trial. The bond was fix- ed at $4,000 and Isaac Woomer and S. T. Irvin appeared as surety, but the court ‘ruled that they were not sufficient. = Ac- cordingly, on the following Tuesday, W. S. Ward and W. H. Irvin appeared and were accepted as additional security. The. motion for a new trial was argued on: Tuesday, June 11th: Col. Reeder, Ir- vin’s counsel, having contended that the count on which his client had been convict- ed was one on which absolutely no evi- dence had been adduced by the prosecu- tion and, therefore, a new trial should be granted or there should he an arrest of judgment. The court considered the matter until Monday, when Irvin was produced and a new trial refused. Immediately the court pronounced the sentence as above and de- clared the prisoner to be in the sheriff’s custody. There was some thougkt of carrying an apoeal to the higher courts, but it was finally abandoned and on Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. Irvin drove down from their home at Baileyville to say farewell to their son. The parting in the jail was very pathetic indeed, for both father and mother feel most poignant sorrow. Under the new commutation law Irvin will get two months off the first year for good _ behavior, three oft the second and five off the’ ‘third, thus redncing his whole time to about twenty-nine months. Sheriff Brungard took him to the penitentiary on Wednesday and he walked down street smoking a cigar as unconcernedly as if on a far pleasanter journey. The judge was inclined to be lenient in the sentence be- cause it was a first offense and also hecause Irvin did not go on the stand to perjure himself. a CHILDREN’S DAY IN THE METHODIST CHURCH. — Children’s day services con- tinued all day in the Methodist church on Sunday and though all the meetings were given over to them the interest increased as the day lengthened. There was a good attendance at the morning meeting. A large crowd attended the afternoon service and a packed house greeted the children in the evening. There was no attempt at elaborate decorations for the church has been refurnished too recently for that but great clusters of roses heautified the altar and piano and back in the pulpit seats an arch of rhododendron was built for one of the class exercises. The pastor, Rev. W. P. Shriner, preach- ed an appropriate sermon for the children in the morning, and after the Sabbath school exercises in the afternoon baptized four children. The children’s services proper took place at 6:30 o’clock and while it was not so ponderous and lengthy as usual it was, in consequence, far more de- lightful. The music was all bright and tuneful and several of the exercises ex- oeptionally good. Little Miss Martha Barn- hart, as usual, carried occasion and her recitation about the mis- sionary penny would have been creditable for a professional entertainment. And dear little girl that she is she walked off the platform as unconscious of the hearty ap- plause that was given her as she had been of her gestures and articulation. Little ‘Miss Mary McClain was also a star of the first magnitude and came in fora goodly share of the applause. Her number’ was a song in which the primary school joined in the chorus and it was really most effective and well sung. The other two most credit- able features of the program were a motion partment and a class exercise under the direction of Miss Ida Green.
