Choked to Death.
Mt. Joy, August 3. Last evening a
little daughter of Samuel Aungst, who
reside on the Harrlsburg turnpike about
a mile east of this place, was choked to
death whtlo eating an apple, a piece of
which lodged in her throat. Medical aid
was summoned when the child allowed
sign of strangulation, hut before the
physician arrived she was dead. Coro
ner Mlshler held An Inquest on the re
mains and a verdict was rendered In ac
cordance with the facts. The child was
three years old.
Killed While Stealing Potatoes.
CiiAMiiKiiHiiciid, Augusts. On Sat
urday evening Christian Slouffer bor
rowed a short, single barreled shot gun
from Win. Rupert, asserting that he
wanted to get rid of some dogs which
hud been chasing rabbits through his
corn. Shouldering his gun he trudged
out to his lot and watched. Presently
he saw two men walk along the railroad
and began tramping up and down the
siding. Une of them threw a stone at a
board which was standing upright in
his potato patch, and which In the
darkness resembled a man's form. Then
the two descended luto the patch and
began raising potatoes. Stouffcr yelled
at them and they ran. As they sped
toward the cornfield he followed and
fired as they were all running, lie
uttered the command "halt," but he
heard nothing but the noise as they
rushed among the cornstalks. Fearing
that they might return, and not know
lug of any damage he had Indicted, he
feared that the two men might make a
counter charge. He accordingly re
turned to town and stayed here until
yesterday morning, when, In company
with some children, he went out to the
field to get some roasting ears to sell tn
the town. After passing along three of
four rows he came across the dead body.
He came to town, disposed of his corn,
and then went . to Hon. John Stewart
and narrated the above facts. A Jury
was summoned and proceeding to the
spot found the body lying face down
ward amongst the cornstalks. The body
was turned over on its back when it
wbs recognized as the corpse of Robert
Allison. Decomposition had already
set in and a terrible gunshot wound, one
and a half inches In diameter on the left
side below the heart, Indicated the cause
of the death. Swollen and blackened,
the body lay among the corn a prey to
insects and files throughout the whole
half day until the coroner put In his
. appearance.
From the Repository we learn the fol
lowing additional facts regarding this
case:
Robert Allison was a painter by trade
and lived in a house in the rear of Wan
amaker's Row, this place. For two or
three days last week he was engaged In
painting at the foundry of T. B. Wood
&Co. On Saturday evening about five
o'clock he received his pay and started
home were he remained until about nine
o'clock that evening. At that hour he
left the house. His wife asked him
where be was going but he made no
reply. Nothing more was heard of him
by his family until Monday afternoon,
about two or three o'clock,' when he was
found lying dead in a corn field along
tne (jumneriana valley u, li., just at
the northern end of town. At eight
o'clock the coroner's Inquest was held at
the offlce of 'Squire Seiuers. A number
of witnesses were examined. William
Rupert testified that when Stouffer bor
rowed his gun he said that he did not
want a very neavy ioaa in it as ne aid
not intend to shoot any person but only
scare them. Rupert said U was dark in
the room and be did not know how
large a load he had put In the gun. Geo.
Kyle being called said that Stouffer told
in the Hherifl "a offlce in the jail that he
had gone to the field, taw the men there
and had fired, but did not think be bad
killed one. District Attorney Bowers
Is very anxious to find out who the
other man is that was with Allison in
the field, and assures him that nothing
shall be done to him if he comes for
ward and makes an open statement of
the whole affair, as it will add very
much in dealing out justice in the case.
The Jury rendered the following ver
dict ! That Ilob't Allison' came to his
death by a gun shot wound received from
a gun In the hands of Christian Stouf
fer." The body was placed In a coffin and
taken to the cemetery at five o'clock
this morning where It was burled almut
10 o'clock by the Franklin Uuards, of
which Allison was a member.
The murdered man was about 80 years
of age, and leaves a wife and three small
children, who are In poor circumstances.
There are many rumors on the street In
regard to tho liorrlble aflUIr, but the
above Is as near correct as we could get
it at the Inquest and from other wit
nesses, ADDITION LOCAL MATTER
III? ported by Chan. It. Smiley, JOgA
Court Proceedings. The August term
of the Courts is generally designated as
the "long term" for the reason that the
vacation extending from the second
week of April to the first Monday of
August Is the longest of the year. The
length of the Interval between April and
August makes a larger accumulation of
business, and this in connection with
the hot weuther of midsummer causes
this term to be more dreaded by all par
ties Interested than any oilier. The
rains in the early part of last week
cooled the atmosphere and being thus
freed from the excessive heat It was the
most pleasant August term that tins
been held for years.
On Monday at 1 o'clock '. M., Court
convened and the usual preliminary
work began. The constables of the
various districts were called, sworn, and
their returns received. The grand jury
was impanelled and fully Instructed as
to their duties by his Honor Judge
Junkln. Among other tilings they
were Informed that a bill of indictment
for murder would be laid before them,
and the law regulating homicide In Its
various phases was explained. A con.
stable wub selected to attend Upon them,
and they were then sent out to begin
work. Under their foreman, Hon. Geo.
A. Him man, they discharged their duties
In such a manner as to receive the com
mendations of the Court. The balance
of the afternoon was consumed In pre
senting the petitions, granting orders,
hearing arguments and disposing of the
surety of the l'eace cases. The first of
the latter class of cases that was called
was the Com. vs. Samuel Rice on oath
of Wm. Orr. The prosecutor in tills
case is the owner of a dog, between
which and the defendant there exists an
ancient feud. A sight of the dog seems
to have had the same efi'ect upon the
captain that a red rag has upon a healthy
bull, while a sight of the captain seems
to anoy the dog like holy water does the
Devil. Their frequent collisions became
annoying and dangerous about the home
of the complainant, and in order that
the annoyance might be suppressed the
firosecutlon was brought. After hear,
n g the case, the Court suggested more
cautious proceedure ou the part of the
defendant hereafter and dismissed the
complaint at the costs of the county.
Dlst. Att'y Wallls and Burnett for Com.
Market for deft.
Com. vs. Wm. Bailey, on oath of
John Scott. There was also a complaint
made against the same defendant on
oath of Jacob Hess, and both cases were
heard together. They were Blm ply the
result of a collision between the parties
in Rye twp.,beglnning with whisky and
ending with threats. The former was
probably the more dangerous of the two,
and after a patient investigation the
complaints in each case were dismissed
and the respective prosecutors directed
to pay the cost. Dlst. Att'y Wallls for
Coin. Selbert for deft.
Com. vs. Elener Campbell, on oath of
Samuel Minlch. The prosecutor In this
case complained that the defendant in
seeking redress for an imaginary wrong
committed an assault upon him and
threatened him with grievous bodily
harm to be perpetrated In the future.
After hearing the case the Court directed
the proseoutor to pay costs and enter
Into recognizance in the sum of f 100 to
keep the peace for the period of one
year. Dlst. Att'y Wallls and M'Intire
for Com. W. H. Sponsier for deft.
On Tuesday morning after the open
ing of court, the Board of Examiners
reported they had, In accordance with
the rules of Court, examined Cloyd N.
Rice, a student at law In the office of
Hon. C. J. T. M'Intire, and on motion
he was admitted to practice law in the
several courts of Perry county. At the
same time Samuel Hepburn, Esq., of
Carlisle was admitted to practice in tbe
courts of this county.
The first case called for trial was Mary
Charles' use vs. W. E. Murray. Deft,
was Jointly bound with others in a Jndg
meut note, but made application to have
the Judgment opened and let into a
defeuse so far as he was concerned on
the grounds of having been a minor
when he signed the note. His minority
having been established, the Court de
cided the obligation void as to him, and
plff. took a non suit. Potter and Spons
ier for plff. Selbert for deft.
Ellen Stewart vs. Samuel Sheller,
Adm'r. with the will annexed of Owen
Ashton, dee'd. This was an action to
recover money loaned by the plaintiff to
the defendant in his lifetime. The plff.
was a sister of the deft, and at the time
the loan was made no obligation lu
writing was taken therefor, and evidence
aliunde had to be produced to establish
the claim. The depositions of a party
living in West Virginia who was pres
ent and witnessed the transaction were
produced, and a verdict was given for
$374.80, the amount claimed. Barnett
for plff. Sponsier for deft.
Alfred Burtnett vs. D. M. Rlnesmith.
Tbe readers of these proceedings will
remember that some months since the
same case was tried in court. It grew
out of a claim that plff. had made for
the $300 allowed him under the exemp
tion laws of this Commonwealth, at a
time when his property was levied upon
by the deputy of the defendant who was
then Sheriff of the county. The claim
was ignored, the deft, denying that it
had ever been made. Atrial was had
which resulted in a verdiot for the plff.
A new trial was granted, and had at this
term, which resulted In a verdict for the
plaintiff for loil.BO. Hepburn and Pot
ter for plff. Hvlbert, Market and Junkln
for deft.
Com. vs., Francis Minlch The de.
fendunt Is an unmarried lady living In
the upper part nf the county, on a prop,
erty adjoining land owned by Conrad
Hench. The dwelling houses of the re
spective parties are in close proximity to
each other and a pale fence marks the
line to which each claims ownership of
the land. As a matter of course each
f arty raises chickens, the chickens raise
lilngs In the gardens and this raises the
mischief generally. How It maybe in
the MUleuelum we do not know, but in
their unregenerate state women will
raise chickens. They must have them
to accompany the flannel cakes when
the preacher comes, and to lay eggs for
Duster, but it Is a melancholy trntli that
just so long as they continue to raise
them they will quarrel with their neigh
bors. The Deft, found the prosecutor's
chickens on her premises and, seizing a
club she made several of them lay with
out the Inducement of a nest egg and to
the Injury of the owners. When Con
rad 1 lench and his daughter, Mrs. Jane
Kelgler rau to their rescue. Fanny left
the chickens and begnn to lay ou them.
The result was that they were brutally
beaten by Fanny before they made their
escape On the other hand Fanny
claimed that she only acted on the de
fenslve and In doing so she reckoned up
among the casualties one of her legs
battered Into a condition nf unsightly
discoloration. The verdict was guilty of
assault and battery and not of an aggra
vated assault. Dlst, Atty. Wallls and
Hponsler for Com. Harnett for Deft.
Com. vs., Jbeo Lanta This was an In
dictment fur stealing some slabs and
benches, the property of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, at Marys
vllle. The bill was laid before the ury
and a verdict of not guilty taken, liist.
Ally. Wallls and Potter for Com.
Selbert for deft.
Same vs., Same In this case the de
fondant was Indicted for stealing a Jack
plane from Mr. McICisson at or near
Marysvllle. The plane was discovered
at his house concealed In a bed. His de
fense was that McICisson owed him
wages, anil fulling to pay he took the
plane on account, I u tending to deliver It
up when tbe account was paid. The
bill was found at the August Sessions,,
1H77 but, until this Sessions of the Court
Leo was non rMtinventui, The Jury
found him guilty and he was sentenced
to iq days In the County Jail, pay a fine
of $1, and the costs of prosecution and
stand committed until the sentence was
complied with. Dlst. Atty. Wallls, and
Mclntlre for Com. Selbert for deft.
Com. vs., John F. Baker Deft, was
charged with three counts In the bill of
Indictment. 1st Rape, 2nd Attempts to
commit Rape and 3rd Adultery. The
grand Jury found a true bill on the last
count only. The charge was that he
had appropriated to himself the conju
gal rights of the husband of Josephine
Gardiner. The grand Jury believed lie
had done so but that It 'required no force
or fear of bodily harm to accomplish
this. A technicality was raised which
required the Court to Instruct the Jury
that they must find a verdiot of not
guilty which they did, but directed him
to pay tbe costs and the defendant went
away contrary to the expectations of the
audience who heard the evidence. Dlst.
Atty. Wallls and Mclntlre for Com.
Sponsier for Deft.
Com. vs., Thos. McKelvy and Elisa
beth MoKelvy Indictment selling
liquor without license and selling liquor
on Sunday. The defendants kept a ho
tel in the well-known region of Mont-
f;omery 's Ferry but had no license to sell
liiuor. Notwithstanding this fact, they
sold our National beverage at sundry
times, and in diver's manners, and
pocketed the filthy luore they received
for it with as apparent uncoucern as if
they were engaged In the pursuit of a
useful and legitimate business. Verdict
guilty, and sentenced to pay a fine of
Ji-OC each, and to remain In the custody
of the Sheriff until the sentence was
complied with, the term of Imprison
ment however not to exceed 00 days in
accordance with the Act of Assembly,
Dlst. Atty. Wallls and Potter for Com.
McAllister and Mclntlre for Deft.
This case ended the Criminal Courts
and the Civil list was resumed by taking
up the case of D. M. Rlckabaugh vs.,
James Patterson, administrator of Col
lins E. Patterson dee'd. This was an
old case having been brought several
years since. The Plaintiff and Collins
E. Patterson had been associated for
years in business. They were then un
married men and kept house together at
their place of business in Millerstown.
Patterson was a consumptive and 71
months before his decease, he sold out to
his partner the Plaintiff, but continued
to live with him until be died and. was
buried from his house. The claim was
for services rendered to him for the 71
months and a book account. Plaintiff
alleged that full compensation for all
trouble and expense had been made by
Mr. Patterson to tbe plaintiff in his
lifetime. This could not be proven to
the satisfaction of tbe Jury and they
awarded a verdict of $N07.1O to the
Plaintiff. Sponsier and Mclntlre for
Plff. Barnett and Smiley for Deft.
Sponsier Junkln & Co. vs. F. W. Gib
son. This was an action which grew
out of a judgment that had been entered
a long time since. The lapse of time
and subsequent transactions involved
the case in difficulty but after trying the
case from Friday afternoon until Satur
day noon a settlement was effected that
was satisfactory to all parties and a juror
was withdrawn and the case closed.
Doty and Smiley for plff. Selbert,
Markel and M'Intire for deft.
Wm. M. Gray, assignee of Solomon
Belstlineys. John H. Bruner. In a
settlement between the parties, plfT.
claimed to be allowed for a certain
amount of poplar lumber which had
been sawed at the deft's. mill and which
he had sold him by contract. Deft,
alleged that he bad not contracted for
the lumber, bad never taken it nor
agreed to take it, and that on the con
trary tbe plff. had hauled it away him
self and consequently received the full
benefit or It, and that upon a settlement
fuirly made there was due him a balance
of $1.00. Verdict for deft, of $1.96. Bar
