The grand jury made its final pre sentment Friday afternoon. They act ed on eleven cases finding ten true bills. They recommended a new bridge over Connoqnnessins creek in Forward twp. at the Knanff place. The County jail, boiler-house and the Court House were visited and all found in good condition. Several small inprovements were stig ested to be made in the Court House. The crossings of the P. B. & L. E and P. & W. railroads over Main street Butler were returned as places dangerous to the public. 'I he jury expressed themselves as favoring the erection of medium sized brick houses for the poor farm and believed that sewerage should be nsed on the farm. Before adjourning his fellow jurors took a vote expressing their apprecia tion of the manner in which Hugh Sproul. the foreman had governed their sitting*. CRIMINAL COURT. Criminal Court convened Monday morning. Jurymen S. M. Miles of Mil lerstown and R. J. Nevin of Zelienople ware excused from service. The first case tried was that of Com. vs Joseph Larkin, assnlt and battery. John Hynes the prosecutor did not ap pear. The charge was that Larkin knocked Hynes down on Wayne street Butler near the Hotel Willard. The jury returned a verdict of "not guilty, but pay the costs' and Larkin was sen tenced accordingly. Part of Butler county's itinerant col ored popnlation which follows the con struction of railroads figured in crimi nal court this week. This is about the story. Alonza Finney, married and living at Harmony, came up to Butler a few weeks ago looking for work and stopped with Wm. Radcliff and wife who live in a long wooden honse at the old salt works east of town. Finney stayed with Radcliffs over night. Next morning Radcliff left the house and coming back shortly af terwards found Finney in a compromis ing position with his wife. Finney broke for the door and Radc;iff followed and chased him from the house for some distance, snooting at him with a revol ver. One bullet struck Finney in the back and lodged under the shoulder blade where it still remains. Radcliff was arrested for feloneons shooting and Finney for assnlt and battery with in tent to commit rape the charge against him being preferred by Mrs. Radcliff. They were tried together Monday and Tuesday morning the jury acquitted both, but found that Finney should pay half the costs in the case a«ainst him and Mrs Radcliff the other half. On the night of Feb. 12 twenty-nine chickens and two turkeys were stolen from the coop of Samuel Parks in Adams twp. Mr Parks had Abe Woods and Robert Tolbert (colored) in dicted for the theft. It appears that Woods went to Parks', place, took the chickens, broke their necks, and car ried them to Tolbert"s place (in Alleghe ny county) about one o'clock in the morning. There the two men dressed them and the next morning Tolbert shipped them at Valencia to a Pitts burg dealer. Later Tolbert collected the pay for them and kept the money, Tuesday Tolbert was discharged of the indictment against him for receiving stolen goods and Woods was convicted of larceny and sentenced eight months to the Penitentiary. The perjury case of Com. vs Win. M. Cowan went to trial Monday morning and Tuesday afternoon, after being out a short time, the jury returned a ver dict of "not guilty but pay all the costs," Mr. Cowan is a Mercer twp farm er. He had a neighbor Samuel Taylor tried for burglary at the December, 1897, Court. Taylor was acquitted and sued for SSOOO, damages for malicious prosecution. This case was for trial on the first Monday of February 1898 at which time Cowan asked for a contin uance and also for attachments on ten Venango county witnesses who did not appear and whom he swore he had sub poened and given $5 each for expenses. This was the alleged perjury. Five of these witnesses appeared in Court Mon day and swore that they had not been subpeoned and had not been given s•>. for expenses, but no two of them could testify to the same fact and as it takes two witnesses to convict a man of per jury the acquital followed. Addison Fullerton of Butler, this morning plead guilty to two charges of obtaining money under false pretense, and was sentenced in one case to pay the cost. sls. fine and undergo inprison ment in jail for two months. Sentence in the other case was not passed. The jury in the case of Com vs Thomas Botzer of Myoma assault and battery brought in a verdict this morn ing finding him not guilty, he to pay one third the costs and the prosecutor Jas. Richardson, the other two-thirds. Richardson was sentenced to enter recog in S2OO to keep the peace. The case of Com vs A. P. Stewart, embezzlement, is on trial as we go to press. The f. & b case against Saml J. Gra ham was settled. The indictment against Peter Schmick for malicious mischief was quashed. NEW SUITS Jacob Gelbach for use of Jacob Dam bach vs Daniel McDevitt and John Grossman, sci fa sur judgement of $370.66 to revive and continue lien of same. Birdie Sutton by her father and next friend Johnston Campbell vs Alonze Sut ton, petition for divorce. The parties were married in 1894. Cruelty and neg lect are the causes for which divorce is asked. Leah Otto vs P. & W. R. R. Co. and T. M. King receiver, trespass for*s2,ooo damages sustained by the defendant en tering upon and building railroad over the pff's farm in Jackson twp. Ulrich Winter vs P. & W. R. R. Co, and T. M. King receiver, summons in tresspass for $30,000. damages done to the pff's dam, mill, and house at Eid enau Station in Jackson twp during the donble tracking of the railroad at that point. The channel of the Connoque nessing was changed by railroad com pany to obviate the necessity of build ing "two bridges and this change of channel destroyed the water power of the dam. The house and mill were also 1 injured by blasting. Jacob L. Sharkey vs the P. W. Ry. Co., assumpsit, claim SIOOO. Ed. Roach vs H. F. Eicholtz, G. S. Ellsworth, J. W. McKee et al, assump sit, claim $649.95. DOERR FARM APPROVED. The Court handed down an opinion Wednesday afternoon dismissing, at the county's cost, the exceptions to the purchase of the Doerr farm by the County Commissioners for a poor farm. The opinion stated that the entire power to purchase rests in the commis sioners, and that the approval of the Court is necessary only as regards plans for building, etc. A stranger in town during the last few days has been trying to get the Doerr farm at a big advance over the figure the Commissioners have on it, SI4OOO. The stranger offered SIOOOO cash and the balance, nearly as much in one week. NOTES. The will of T. A. Gilkey, dec'd of Adams twp. has been probated, Jos. Gilkey is named executor.
