calling the attention of our readers to
the advertisement of L. Stein & Son,
who put your judgement to the test
with weekly offerings in the columns of

that speaks volumes of their ability to

.—Georue Harley's home on W. North

man who gathered up quite a lot of
stnff. But he stopped to take a late
supper, all by himself, and in doing so
awakened Mrs. Harlay who chased him
into the lot and called a neighbor who
following him around the school house
but lost bun. This incident resemblesone
that happened in Phil'a a few nights
ago, whan a burglar, tempted by the
opportunity of a square meal, accom
panied by all the beer he could drink,
*nccmnbed to temptation and was
found fast asleep on a couch the morn
inn after his felonious entrance into a
house on East Thorn pson street,
.nnd promptly turned over to the police.
When he found himself in the clutches
of the law, a victim of his own vora
cious appetite, he simply said: "Veil,
vat's zee use of leevin' ef you can teed

Several small inprovements were stig
ested to be made in the Court House.

and P. & W. railroads over Main

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.

nessing was changed by railroad com
pany to obviate the necessity of build

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.
