.Wilfred Jessup. prosecutor, called
the attention of Judge Fox to the case

leen discharged because he was men
tally afflicted. Mr. Jessup stated
that he had learned that the man was
not responsible for his actions and
that Swain believed he was home from
the army on furlough. The prosecut
or said that every now and then Swai.n
would prepare to rejoin his regiment
but was persuaded to remain at home
by his relatives who told him that the
war department had extended his fur

thought it best not to prosecute him on
the charge on which he was indicted,
find he said that the unfortunate sol
dier, who still insists on wearing the
colors of his country, had promised
Jiim never to reieat the offense. j
There are several cases on the crim

which were not disposed of during th
January term of court. Judge Fox
told the prosecutor that he intended to
clear up all tho:-e caos Monday and
instructed him to U ' i hand bright

Warm Drinking Water.
Winchester, Ind., March 30 Minor
Reed, a traveling man residing at
Farmland, has invented a fountain for
watering stock which is said to excel
anything of its kind ever placed on
the market. It is a labor-saving de
vice and is so arranged that the water
may be heated during the cold weath
er, making it useful in the winter time.
It is built especially for hogs and
sheep and will hold sixty-two gallons.
and ten animals can drink from the
trough at one time. All that is nec
essary for the farmer to do is to keep
the tank filled and in cold weather
have the heating furnace supplied
with oil. This it is said, can be done
at a maximum cost of 4 cents per day.

more.

his temper, and confessed that the ex

Jerome's experts must confine their
statements to the present time. Thaw

It was stated today that there had
been a clash of authority before the
commission as to the custody of the

prisoner signed by the commission.
The guard withdrew during Thursday's
session, but today had different order3
from his superiors. He remained iu
