Scarce- ly had the jusitice given his decision when three shots rang out in the court room and Vandenburg was killed. At the June term of court the grand jury found an indictment against M. L. Anderson for murder in the second degree. The prosecution was conducted by Prosecuting attorney Jackson assisted by Parkinson & Graves. The defense was represented by Judge Jas. B. Gantt, of Clinton, Ed Buler of Lamar, John T. Smith and Holeomb & Smith of Butler. The prosecution endeavor- ed to establish that M. L. Anderson fired the fatal shots. The line of the defense was that, First the state failed to established the guilt of de- fendant beyond a reasonable doubt. 2d, That at the time of the killing the defendant was not responsible for his acts, having received a severe blow at one time on his head, which aggrevated by long dissipation, had a tendency under strong mental ex- citement to make him irresponsible for his acts. The case was given to the jury late Wednesday night anda verdict of acquital was returned in fifty min- utes. This verdict gave almost universal satisfaction, and the jurymen return- ed to their families on Thanksgiving day with the consciousness of hav- ing performed their duty well and added another ‘chapter to the Ameri- can idea that the sacred precincts of home must be kept inviolate. i- Flambeau Display and Ball. The Butler Flambeau Club gave its first pyrotechnic display last Wed- nesday evening. The effort was a pleasing surprise to every citizen of Butler, for while a creditable dis- play was looked for from amateurs, it was not expected that, in the short time these young gentlemen have been practicing that they would have reached a proficiency to com- pete with old veterans in the cause. Of course mistakes were made and to point out a few of the grave errors would be no disparagement to the club, but should tend to assist them in the future. The music should not have been permitted to leave the parade until after the firing had be- gun if at all. It was a cold wet night, and hundreds of people were flocked around the square as specta- tors, under the circumstances drill- ing once around the square would have been sufficient to have shown the different evolutions they had acquired. The boys were dressed in white suits with tin helmets on their heads, and the procession made a weired and grand spectacle as the continuous stream of fire from ro- man candles, rockets and giant crackers was poured forth. The ball was a grand success, in every partic- ular. The music furnished by Messrs. McFarland, Steele and Tal- bot, was excellent, the opera room was crowded with spectators and participants, and everybody hada grand good time. It is hoped that these young gen- tlemen will not let the holidays pass without getting up a similar enter- tainment. For the benefit of other towns we will say that the Flambeau club stands ready to give a first-class display and parade. A r- of re- he L. D. Shobe will be at C. B.
