Then when Mr. Dent was placed on the stand he gave some very spicy testimony He referred to a letter he had received from Mr. Draffen when first arrested in which the writer expressed great surprise and indignation at his arrest and averring that he knew him to be innocent of the c-ime Mr. Draffen demanded to see this letter avd it was produced and ia- troduced as evidence in the case On croes examination Dreff-n be came so abusive that Dent jumped from the witness stand and attempt ed to strike him. Draffen picked up a heavy iok stand and attempted to throw it. For a short time it looked as if serious trouble would ensue but the court officers quieted matters aad the trial proceeded. The trial lasted three days aod was given to the jury saturday night. Prosecuting Attorney Harvey Clark addressed the jury on behalf of the staie, reviewing the evidence in chronological order, bringing out each point clear and distinct before the jury. He made a masterful ef- fort aud at its conclusion it was the consensus of opinion of those who heard him that the state had won its case. J. F. Smith, W. T. LaFollett and Wm. Draffen each made good and logical arguments and strong pleas for their client and did all in their power to convince the jury of his innocence. The jury returned its verdict Sun day morning, finding the defendant guilty as charged and assessing hie punishment at two years ia the pen- itentiary. The following well known citizens composed the Jury: J. W. MeCor mack, B. F Smitb, H.N. Pope, G. E Holland, G.R Boruy, H. H. Harshaw, A. L. Fisher, Chae. Grant, B. T. Earles, I. S. Greer, F. M.

The church made a good record for itself during the yellow fever scare at New Orleans, says the Chi- cago Chronicle. Not a clergyman deserted his post, though congrega- tions dwindled and in seme cases disappeared altogether. Such a showiog ia as creditable to the clerics as it is discoucerting to their critics. It isa common gibe at the clergy that they desert their flocks in the summer time, when the devil is mostactive. The New Orleans preachera have shown that though they may fight shy of the devil, they won't run from yellow fever. Their detractors can hardly say as much for themselves —Nevada Mail.
