BO tf. ‘The murdertria!l of Fred Beall, for the murder of his former law partner Francis McKenuon,iu Guth- | rie Oklahoma, in 1893, was conclud- 'ed at El Reno, Saturday and result- edin a hung jury. The evidence showed that McKennon, had made threats that he would disgrace Beall and drive him from the territory or kill him. The two met on the streets as Beall was going to dinner, and that he was hailed by McKennon who approached kim and seizing {him with his left hand thrust his right in his hip pocket. Beall then drew his pistol and fired. “When the jury returned into court with a disagreement, they were the recip- ients of a caustic reprimand from Judge McAfee, who from the bench, openly accused some members of sinister motives aud dishonest in- fluence in their conduct as jurors. He denounced them in the most un- measured terms. The evidence in the case was very strong and the hanging of the jury was unexpected, and to the Court,unauthorized. The conduct of the jury and the lecture of the Judge are topics of exciting goscip, and some ugly charges. The Judge etated that he had evidence to sustain his charge of bribery against the jury. The defend- ant’s bail bond was then fixed at $20,000. Joseph R. Morrison and Miss Prudence Renick were united in marriage at the home of the bride’s parents, on Wednesday evening, June 20th, Rev. W.

He is at present con- nected with the Bates County Na- tional Bank. Miss Prudence is the ; only daughter of Dr. and Mrs. O. F. Renick, bright, vivacious, entertain- ing and a very amiable young lady, popular with all who know her. The young people start in life with flattering prospects and the best wishes of everybody in Butler and a host of friends elsewhere. They re- paired immediately to their own home in the southeast part of the city, prepared by the groom, where | they are at home to their friends.

Fine Barn Burned. | The postmaster at Peru, George | Baker, sends us a card giving us the | particulars of the destuction by fire of the large barn of M. R. Lyle, ono |mile west of Peru, in Lone Oak | township on the night of the 23d. The fire was supposed to have been caused by lightning. Besides the barn a quantity of hay, corn and ag- | ricultural implements were burned. Mr. Lyle is the owner of some blood ed horses but fortunately his stock | was in another barn near by and es- |caped. The barn burned was nearly \new.
