that event, in all probabilitythe case
would be settled. The Court called

whole trouble arose over a line fence.
The prosecutrix testified that the de

went out, caught hold of it, whenlhe
defendant struck her on the side of
the head with a pick. He also
threatened to kill her.
In this sttjry she was corroborated
by her husband and son.
The testimony of hm. defendant
put an entirely differei t aspect upon

The case of the commonwealth vs.
Hiram Albertson a deaf mute, who
was charged with an assault and
battery upon the person of II, W.
Garrah was the next case called. The
defendant had no counsel, and owing
to his affliction it was almost impossi
ble for him to use one. The indict
ment was fully explained to him, and
he informed the court that he was
guilty. The crime was committed at
the work shop of E. M. Laubach ;n
Fishingcreek township at which place
he was then living as a township
charge. His mind is weak, and at
one time was an inmate of the insane
asylum at Danville. The court desir
ed some information in regard to the
case and hence Mr. Garrah was called
to the stand and related the circum
stances which were briefly as follows :
We were in the work shop of E. M.
Laubach on the 24th of last October
when he gave me a punch in the
stomach with his elbow. I turned
around to open the gate to let on the
water when he closed on me and w
had a tussle and I threw him. I left
him up, and walked away, when Lau
bach said I should look out as he was
coming at me with an ax. He cut
me over the eye. Laubach took the
ax from him." The court held the
matter under advisement.

Sale of real estate ordered in the
estate of David Achetibach deceased.
The District Attorney now called
the case of Commonwealth vs. J. R.
Evans. The defendant who is a
practising physician in this town was
charged with cruelty to a horse own
ed by John B. Hunt which the prose
cutor Dennison Brink, was exercising
in the alley adjoining the residence of
the de fendant. The facts in this case
have been previously published in this
paper and hence we will devote no
further space to it. The common
wealth was represented by the District
Atrorney and Robt. Buckingham Esq.
looked after the interests of the de
fendant. The Jury returned a verdict
finding the defendant not guilty, each
party to pay one half the costs.
Grand Jury report.
The Grand Jury having completed
their labors made the following re
port : That the jail and out build
ings are in good condition and are not
needing other repairs than those in
progress. "The new arrangement of
the water-closets in the basement of
the court house we believe to be a
good and necessary improvement, as
well as the projected vault of the
Register and Recorder's office. We
would recommend that the wood
work on the outside of the back part
of the court house be given a coat of
paint."
In the case of the commonwealth
vs. Harry Keller. ' The court sentenc
ed the defendant to pay $3.00 per
week toward the support of his wife
and two children. Give bail for the
performance of the sentence and
stand committed. The court took
occasion to inform the Sheriff that
this sentence meant imprisonment in
the strictest sense of the term. He
should be fed on simple food, and
kept confined. In discharging the
Grand Jury the court thanked them
for the prompt manner in which they
had performed their duties, and said
that they agreed with the jury in re
gard to the improvements about the
Court House.
That three or four Grand Juries
had made the recommendations and
the Commissioners performed their
plain duty when they acted in accord
ance therewith, and for this, they
were to be commended, notwith
standing the fact that a certain news
paper had said that the Grand Juries
had been imposed upon, and fooled
into making the recommendations.
The commissioners could have made
the change without any action on the
part of the Grand Jury, but it is cus
tomary to act on their suggestions.
They should not be censured by
newspapers for carrying out the re
commendations of the Grand Jury,
bur rather should be honored for it.
The last case on the criminal list
was that of the commonwealth vs.
James Polk. Assault and battery
with intent to commit rape and was
called at 4 o'clock P. M. The prose-1
cutrix Mertie Polk who is a second
Cousin of the defendant testified that
she was on her way from Iola to her
home in Pine township when she was
overtaken on the public road by the
defendant who after walking with her
for some distance, thiew his arm
around her, and made an indecent
propdsal. The defendant positively
denied the story, and endeavored to
show not only by his own evidence,
but by that of people who were travel
ing on the road at the time that it
would have been impossible for the
assault to.have taken place as detailed
by the Prosecutrix. He gave an ac
count of his actions all that evening,
where he had been and what he had
dotte. The Commonwealth was re
presented by the District Attorney
and the defendant by Messrs. Freeze
and Ikeler. The case occupied the
balance of the afternoon and
evening and was given to the Jury
about 9:30 o'clock. They returned a
verdict Thursday morning finding ( the
defendant not guilty, and the prosecu
tor to par J and the defendant' of

battery, against William Giger of the

head, which was followed by one from
his son. The case was set for hearing
on Monday afternoon, but before the
time arrived Giger paid the prosecutor
$20, and the costs, amounting in all
to about $30, and settled the case.
