The prospects for raising a good crop of corn in this county is not so bad after all and not nearly so bad as some of the timid suspect and pre- dict.

The jury in the Rice case returned & verdict of acquittal on Tuesday morning, after being out from Sat- urday night. The trial was begun on Wednesday noon. The following jurors were selected to try the case: A. T. Meyers, J. R. Douglas, 8. H. Bothwell, H. W. Bulfinch, W.T. Jack- son, C. R. Joyce, Henry Christman, J. E. Powell, Terry Cluck, H. D. Chambers, Isaac Ellington, G. T. Morgan. The substance of the evidence was, that Rice was returning from a visit to a relative, with a young lady cousin, along # lonely road west of Nyhart. It was very durk, with oc- casional flashes of lightning. Some one came running up the road from the direction of Nyhart. He wascar- rying somethin, under bis arm which made a strange noise. Rice and the girl were badly frightened and cross- ed to the south side of the road. Rice drew his pistol, a large 45-caliber, and ordered the party to halt. He claims he repeated his demand three times, and instead of stopping the party changed his course and caine directly towards them, Rice then shot and the party fell with a groan. They went home and said nothing of the occurrence. The next morning Orville W. Butler's corpse was found in the road. He had been shot through the heart. Rice attended the post-mortem examination, held by Coroner Renick and appeared ut- terly unconcerned. He then went to his uncle's, Lewis Jones, in Foster, where he was later arrested, He at first denied all knowledge of the af- fair, but afterwards admitted the killing. Miss Thomas, the young lady cousin, held out until told that Rice had confessed, when she broke down and told practically the same story he did of the tragedy, The first trial resulted in a hung jury. The indictment was for second degree murder, and the court instructed that if the verdict was guilty, that the punishment could not be for lesa than 10 years, It is said that onthe first ballot the jury voted seven for conviction and five for acquittal. It is rumored that the jury was unani- mous in the opinion that Rice ought to be punished, but thought 10 years excessive, and that they even went 80 far as to ask the court for addi- tional instructions on that point. Prosecuting Attorney Ludwick was assisted by Miles S. Horn and T. W. Silvers. The state was represented by T. J. Smith, H. C. Clark and W. 0. Jackson, Misses Frankie Lisle and Nenon Dooley, have returned from a pleas- ant visit to Miss Dooley’s sister Mrs. W. F. Sinkel, at Oswego, Kansas, J. W. Marting, an aged man living near Pleasant Hill, attempted to take his life by hanging himself with baling wire in his barn. When dis- covered the man was black in the face and unconscious.

Judge Vandiver, congressman from the Fourteenth district, has an- nounced his candidacy for the governorship. Up to this time Mr. Vandiver is the only announced can. didate. Names mentioned in connec: tion with the governorship are: Sam B. Cook, Jas. A. Reed of Kansas City, Judge Jas. B. Gantt and Joseph W. Folk. No family has left Butler in many years that has caused more genuine regret than that of the family of S. E. Heinlein, who go to Kansas City to reside. On Monday evening Mrs. Heinlein’s Sunday school class met atthe church and presented her a dozen silver Colonial spoons, as an evidence of their high regard and deep appreciation of her services as ateacher. Mrs. Heinlein is one of the kindest of neighbors, a pure christian woman who believes in showing her faith by her good deeds, She will be missed in Butler. Our good friend E. D. Kipp has re- cently resigned his position as cashier of the Farmers Bank of Butler to ac- cept a position in one of the lead trust companies of St. Louis.
