Dr. Bc-tz claims the well in front
of his property on Dakota street,
therefore, the reason why it was not
filled up in obedience to the order
ot the City Council. Now, the
Times don't care a snap who the
well belongs to, only that it be matte
secure against children falling into
it and getting drowned. Unless Dr.
Betz puts a pump into the well it
should be condemned as a public
nuisance and filled up.

asks:
"Why did the young lady remark
that he had rather go with a bache
lor, when told by Mr. Bigstaff that
he would send a young widower
around to escort her to Sunday
school?" Mr. B. desires to say that if the
writer of the above would cultivate
ladies acquaintance instead ot devot
ing his entire time to cultivating
onions and pie plant, he would know
the reason vvhv.

; The ceichrate.l Ilolcomb case.
which has been pending 111 our
Criminal court for the last fifteen
months, was finally brought to a
close yesterday evening.
For nearly a week the court house
has been crowded with anxious and
expectant listeners to one of tht
j most famous trials that has ever oc-
currcd in Bates county.
Abie, eloqutnt and distinguished
lawyers were engaged on both sides,
and their efforts were characterized
ny a soirit of fairness and gentility
seldom witnessed in an affair where
so much is involved.
The arguments were closed Mon
day evening at 9 o'clock, and the ju
ry, in the charge ot a deputy sheriff,
taken to the grand jury room. They
remained in secret consultation un
til half past two yesterday (Tues
day) evening, and just as we go to
press, the news is upon the streets,
and in the mouths of crowds of inter
ested citizens gathering upon the
coiners that the jury has returned a
verdict of
MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE,
and fixed the penalty ot 19 years in
the penitentiary.
The first ballot taken after the re
tirement into the jury room stood as
follows :
2 for acquittal on grounds ot acci
dental shooting; 6 tor c.ipital punish
ment; 1 for murder in the 4th de
gree, and 3 for mu'vler in the 2nd
( decree.
A Times reporter visaed the office
t i;irUllls0ll Abermithv bite ves
j terday evening, and found all the at
i
j tornevs for the defense there in ear-
j nest consultation. The reporter
i
learned from them that a motion for
a new trial will immediately be
mane, an l it it is reruseii, tne case
will be carried to the supreme court,
on a bill of exceptions which is not
yet prepared.
The following are the names of
the twelve jurors :
