BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN H. 4 W. C. NEfiLEY ( PROP'RS, Entered at the Poetojfice at Butler as second-classß matter. - A MYSTERIOUS CASE. Tbe case of Mr. James H. Graham, of Cranberry township, this county, whose body was recently found upon the shore of the James river, near the city of Richmond, Virginia, turns out to be a rerr mysterious one from what has heretofore been stated in this paper, it was learned that Mr Graham left his home on the 3d day of December last, to go to Pittsburgh, for the purpose of seeing a physician and consulting him for a severe rheumatic affliction. As he bad gone there for the same purpose before his family gave themselves no uneasiness on tbe subject. He stated to them that he might bo in Pittsburgh a week or ten days, to see if he could obtain relief for his rheumatism, and be took with him about $35 to S4O. Arriving in Allegheny city he stayed over night at his usual place, the Bepler bouse, a well known public house there, the people at the hotel noticed nothing unusual about him On tbe morning of the 3d he paid his bill and said be was going over to Pittsburgh. And this is the last trace his family have of him, or can obtain of.him there alive. Shortly afterwards, December 6tb a dispatch came from Richmond to a Mr Flake, a telegraph operator in Zehe nople, this couutv. The dispatch stated that the body of a man hac been found in the river there and on bis person wss found an envelope, with the name of Mr. Fluke written there on, and consequently inquiry waf made of Mr. Fluke as to tbe bodj found. He replied that be had n« knowledge of the person described The family of Mr. Graham live some six miles below Zelienople, and this news coining to their knowledge some afterwards, and hearing nothing of Mr. Graham since ne had left home, they made further inquiry at Rich mond. The information they received in reply led a son and Mr. Eeriah M, Duncan, of Connoquenessing town abtp, a son-in-law of Mr. Graham, to go down to Richmond, starting about the 10th of last month. When they arrived there they learned that the body of a man was found on December 6th, on the river's edge, but not in the water—that It had been Jfound by a Mr. E. V. Clayton, who stated there were no marks of violence upon the body—but that there was no pocket book or money found on the body, afid he was of the belief that there had been foul play of some kind in the matter. A coroner, or physician, of Richmond, named Taylor, bad been called and made an examination of the body at the time and his statement to • Mr. Duncan and young Mr. Graham was, that there were no marks of violence upon the body—and that after being kept for several days it bad been duly interred by the proper authorities. Mr. Duncan and tbe son oonctadel to have the body disinterred, and wliich being done they recognized the remains of their los*. father. To make the mattir more certain, howev er, they returned home with some of the clothing found upon tbe body, which on Mrs. Graham, the widow, seeing, she immediately recognized as those of her husband. The result was that the remains were seat (or, brought home and interred at Plains church, this county, on last Saturday week, January 21st. The mysteries yet unknown are, how and what took Mr. Graham to Richmond, more than four hundred miles from Pittsburgh ? He had no relatives or friends there, or any kind of business whatever, known to any of bis family. It was a pU :e be bad never been or knew anything about. Then, when be was there, by what manner did he come to bis death ? He wis not drowned, as the body was found but upon the bank or shore of the stream. How all this has come to pass his family are at a total loss even to conjecture. He left home in sound jnind—was of temperate habits —i firmer we'l to do in the world, in every respect—was a man endeared to all his family and friends and they to him— WAS > good citizen, living a peaceful, quiet life, an 1 respected by •11 his neighbors. Taken altogether, his death is a very singular one and we hope that something will yet come to light by which the mystery of it will be solved. 8 UPRBME JUDOE. The Pittsburgh Bar held a large and enthusiastic meeting last week in the interests of A. M. Brown, Esq., as the Republican candidate for Supreme Judge. John H. Hampton, Esq., pre sided, and addresses endorsing Major Brown were made by Judge Mellon, George Shiras, R. B. Camahan, Arch ibald Blakeley, Thomas M. Marshall, Esqrs., and others. Resolutions were passed strongly recommending Mr. Brown, and urging a ucited effort in the Western part of the State in his behalf for the nomination. - i . •( i J. I, i. , . n. RE*. D M.

Another week of Special Court con rened on Monday, Judge Bredin pre siding, with Associates McCandless md Weir. The first case taken up was that of Kennedy Marshall, Esq , Committee of J. C. Douthett, a lunatic, against W. A. Lewis, Q. A. Chalfant and others; ejectment for 105 acres of valuable land in Cranberry township, this county. The case is an important one and may occupy the time of the court most of the week. "OUILTY AS INDICTED. " Such was the verdict of the jury against Guiteau on last Wednesday evening—and one of the best results that will flow from this long and ps.tient trial, is the fact that the jury acted so promptly in the matter. Had tbey hesitated it would have shown some doubt and given some encouragement to the idea that the law can be over riddeD. It would also have encourag ed the plea of insanity in this country for crime, and political assassination might have become common. But this prompt verdict will strike terror to al; desperate political adventurers, botfc high and low. 'THE Deity' is all right yet. Guiteau was simply mistaken. THE jury acquitted themselves well if they did not acquit Guiteau. WILLIAM GIBSON, ESQ., has beet confirmed as postmaster at Petrolia, this county. THE charge of Judge Cox to th( jury in the Guiteau case and severa other matters have been crowded oul this week. TUE motion for a new trial for Gui teau will be argued next Friday be fore Judge Cox. It is not probable that any new trial will be granted. THE Governor of this State signed six death warrants on one day, Janua 24th, and fixed March 24tb as the time for the execution of the persons named therein. GOTTEAU says the jury did not un derstand his theory of 'inspiration.' He doubtless is right as to that— Neither the jury or anybody else un derstood, or believed it. OWING to the peculiar criminal code of the District of Columbia there is not much hope of Guiteau being ex ecuted before the latter part of June or the first of July. His counsel can take an appeal and cannot be forced to ar gue it before another term of Court, and then there must be a period of about thirty days between the sentence and the carrying of it into efiect THE great loss of sheep by dogs in this county calls for a remedy. One farmer in the county lost $75 worth of sheep in one night, and the destruction of sheep going on by dogs appears to be greater than ever before. As the people voted down the law offered a few years ago there will have to be some other remedy sought in this matter. It is now poor encouragement for a farmer to introduce, raise or im prove his breed of sheep, if dogs can destroy them as at present. THE present State Treasurer, Hon. Samuel Butler, of Chester county, has entered the field as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Goyenor. Why be has done so is to us just now a little puzzling. From all the infor mation we have Mr. Butler is more identified with boss rule in this State than is Gen. Beaver, and between the two we much prefer Gen. Beaver, as the more worthy and competent, and we believe that will be the sentiment of a large majority of the Republicans of this county. We may soon have more to say on this subject. A Tragical Affair. SANDY HILL, MIDDLESEX TWP,. ) BUTLER CO , Jan. 28th, 1881. >~ MESSRS. EDITORS: —For the benefit of your many readers we will try and describe the particulars of a tragical af fair which occurred yesterday, Friday, January 27th, and which almost result ed in a double crime. The leading subject, was a young man by the name of William Shokey, who is the son of Mrs. Crack, better known as Jane Lee, a resident of Middlesex town ship. William Shokey was taken into the family of Jacob Flick, of this town ship, at tbo age of two and one-half years, and, had he lived until next September, would be twenty years of age, having been in the family of Mr. Flick about 17 years. On Friday morning last, Shokey left home early in the morning and it was thought by the family that be had gone to his work, which was a job of chopping, which be was doing for one of the neighbors. But it proved to be a mis take, tor the next place be was seen was in the neighborhood of McGown's school house, in West Deer township, Allegheny county, by a Miss Emma Allison, who is teaching school at the above school bouse this winter. When seen by Miss Allison, on her way to school, he was armed with a gun, which seems to have frightened her, and she returned to the house of Mr. Scott and got that gentleman to ac company her to the school house. But on their return Shokey was not to be seen, and as far as we can understand was not seen until between five and six o'clock that evening, when Miss Allison, in company with a Miss Scott, were returning from school and when about half a mile from the school bouse, they saw Shokey running in pursuit. They immediately started to run and while they were in the act of crossing a fence Shokey fired a single barrel shot gun at them, not, however, doing much injury to them beyond rid dling the ladies' shawls and clothing with shot holes and imbedding one ! grain of shot between the skin and I skull bone of Miss Allison. It appears that he then reloaded bis gun and started to run. In the meantime the girls rau to the nearest house and gave ; the alarm. Mr. David Scott aud oth ers started in pursuit, tracking Shokey PutUe x jgtifcl**', P«»» iFg-frcttacg 1, 1882. through the fields until they had irone I about one mile from where he hiwi fired at the girls, when they heird a gun shot report and proceeding to tb< place found that Shokey had shot buu self, blowing the whole top of his head off. Wm. Magill, Esq., of VV est Deer township, Allegheny county, was notified of the affair and proceeded to the spot, empanneled a jury and held an inquest, the result of which we did not hear. The remains were then re moved to bis home at Mr. Jacob t lick s, from which place the funeral will take place to-morrow, Sunday, at 10 The Jury find Guiteaa Qutlty as Indie ed. After the jury had been out about twenty minutes a recess was taken un til half past five o'clock.' Within ten minutes after recess had been taken the jury called to the bailiff in waiting that tfcev were readv with their verdict, AN SCENE. Judge Cox soon afterward too# bis seat, the crier called 'Order' and the jury, at 5:35, filed slowly into their seats. Every sound was hushed, save the voice of the Clerk, as he propound b4 tq tjje foreman the inquiry. Clear and distinct tjsa reply, 'We have' 'What ia your verdict, guilty or not guilty ? With equal distinctness came the reply. 'GUILTY AS INDICTED.' The pent up feelings of the crowd found expression in uproarious demon strations of applause and approval 'Prd«r!' 'Order!' shouted the bailifls. Mr. B/uovilie and cotjnse} for the prose cution were simultaneously upon their feet. Mr. Scoville attempted to ad dress the Court, but the District At torney shouted, 'Wait till we have the verdict complete, and in due form ol jaw-' Order was at length ffrstopad and tty clerk again addressing the jury said. 'Your foreffll l ? saya'guilty as indicted. So say you all ?' 'We do,' all responded. Another demonstration of approva followed this announcement, but notsc prolonged the first. Mr. Scoville, sti»} fjpqi) ]bitJ fcet, de manded a poll of the jury, which granted, aod each juror was called by name and each in a firm voice promptly responded, 'guilty.' As the last nanu Wa 9 called the prisouei shrieked : My blood will be ujWfl ibe heads of tha jury: don't you forget it.' TUB PRISONER'* COUNSEL BBARfa. Mr. Scoville again wldreaepd the Court, Haying, 'Youi Honor, I do noi desire to "forgat ftpy rights I may have under the law and practice m tb,s District. If there is anything tUt J ought to do now to save those rights I would be Indebted to Your Honor tc indicate it to me.' Judge Cox, in reply, assured him bf should have every opportunity } thai the charge would be furnished him in print to-morrow, and be would be ae corded all the time allowed by law within which to file his exceptions and that he would also be entitled t( four days within which to move it arrest of of judgment. THE JURY DISCHARGED. Judge Cox then turned to the jury 'Gentlemen of the jury, ] cannot express too many thanks foi the manner in which you have dis charged your duty. You have richly merited the thanks of your country men, and I feel assured you will taki with you to your homes the approva of your consciences. With thanks gentlemen ot the jury, I dismiss you. With this announcement court was declared adjourned. And now the fa rnous trial, which has absorbed publi( interest and attention for more thai ten weeks, was ended. The crowc quickly left the court room, and thi prisoner, gesticulating with his man acled hands, was led out. As he passed the reporters' tables he leaned over and called out to an acquaintance 'The court In banc will reverse tbit business.' His appe irance was that o a man deeply moved with indignation at some outrage or indignity whict had been put upon him. As he was being put in the van, a crowd of mer and boys yelled and shouted them selves hoarse in mockery of the prison er's constant boast, 'The American press and people are all with me. The van was quickly driven away fol lowed till out of sight by the jeers and yells of the crowd THE NEXT STEPS. Mr. Scoville will probably file motion in arrest of judgment s new trial on exceptions. The law gives the defendant four days to file a motion and reasons lor a uew trial and it is customary for the court to sel some day to hear argument thereon, Should this motion be overruled, the defendant will appeal to the gener al term, and under the law the defend ant in entitled to a suspension of a sen tence till'after the next general frm, not exceeding thirty days. The Jan uary general term is now iu session, and the case cannot go there, but will be appealable to the April term. It is the custom of the April term to run until September, taking recess every July and August, but should it close by the latter part of May, then, if judg ment is affirmed, execution might take place in July. Anothar Robbery at Catfish. Last Friday uight about 8 o'clock the wife of 'Squire Somerville, who lives uear Cattish, respouded to a I knock at the door, and upon opening it, was confronted with three revolvers in the hands of three marked men. She returned into the house, covered by the revolvers, and was forced, under throats of instant death, to disclose where their money was secreted, j While two of the gang guarded the woman the other ransacked the house and succeeded in getting about SI,OOO in money, some government bonds and papers of great value to Mr. | Somerville in his official business as [justice and administrator. | The Somerville* live near Catfish and less than a quarter of a mile dis tant from the old man Connors, and the opinion prevails that the same gang had a bund in both robberies und this lust will likely lead to new devel opments in the former. Esquire Somerville was absent at the time and iH now using strenuous efforts to bring the guilty parties to justice. It is reported that another house was entered lust night and $7,- 000 taken, but the report lacks au thentic confirmation. —To men desiring permanent em ployment we would refer them to I>. H.

The decisiou has been affirmed by the State Supreme Court. \ case similar to this, in which the will was allowed to stand, happened in this county some six or eight years ago. President Garfield was shot on the 2d of last Julv, and died eleven weeks and two days afterwards, on the 19th of September. The trial of Gui teau besran on the 14th of November, or eight weeks after the President's death', and the verdict was given last Wednesday, or ten weeks and two days after the opening of the trial. It was twenty-nine weeks and four days from the day of shooting to the day of conviction, and it was eighteen weeks and two days after Gen Garfield's death that Guiteau was found guilty. —The town of Wampum, Lawrence county, is becoming notorious. With in the past two or three months an alleged murder, a series of daring bur glaries, a nnmber of fatal accidents and varied casualties have been reported from it, and now a sensational high way robbery and attempt to murder is added to the list The belief is gain ing ground that an organized band of robbers exists in the vicinity. The last victim of the band is a man named James Wasley who was set upon, beaten and robbed a few nights since and left lying senseless across the R. R. track, from which perilous position he was rescued by a passer by. —Some time ago our county court, in accordance with a presentment of the last grand jury, directed that an in formation should lie made against a daughter of Esq John Smith, of Cher ry township, for concealing the death of a bastard child. The information was made before Esq. Walker by coun ty detective Kdmundson, and a hearing was held last Friday afternoon and evening. The evidence of the hired girl who lived at Smith's is said to have been very strong, and this in connection with the finding of the body of a child under the coal house, made so strong a case that the justice held the defendant for appearance at court, when the case will a t «ain come before the grand jury. The defendant in the case has been married since the date of the alleged crime. —Congressman Mosgrove, of Arm strong county, has introduced a bill in Congress which provides that all volunteer commissioned and non-com missioned officers, musicians and pri vates, who served three years in the army during the rebellion, and their children, shall receive one hundred and sixty acres of the public lands It seems ungracious to object to any leg islation which is professedly in the in terest of the veterans of the war; but this bill is so suspicious in character that it should not lie passed without a thorough understanding of its mean ing. Under existing statutes those who served in the rebellion are granted one hundred and sixty acres on much more favorable terms than settlers on the public domain under the Home, stead act. The Mosgrove measure, however, goes further, ft enacts that patents shall be issued and that the holders shall have the right of transfer without actual settlement. The mean ing of this is that if the bill Incomes a law these land warrents will be bought up by speculators for a mere trifle and ! that millions of acres will for an indef inite period b e reserved from settle ment. |n the p«d thj; railroad popi panieb will tie in all probability the real benefic»aries of the bill if it becomes a law.
