The case tried was that of the State vs Frank Herman. The defendant was tried before a jury; Prof. Thomas and Mr. Crawford act ing as judges in the case. Attorneys Meyer and Thomson represented the State, while Mc Leod aid wallace appeared for the defendant. Frank Herman was accused of committing an assault and bat-, tery with intent to kill upon one George Percell. These parties had a dispute about a strip of land which was very close to a road. Percell eontend that he could drive his team over the land because it was a part of the road, and the defendant, Frank Herman, claimed that the strip of land was his property and that Pe rcell had no right to drive over it After a heated quarrel they came to blows and it was alleged that the defend ant struck Percell with a large rock. After mcuch confliting testi mony had been brought out and judge Crawford had concluded his long and complete charge of the law, the jury retired and after some deliberation failed to agree on a verdict. At 10 p. m. Judge Thomas instructed the sheriff to prepare breakfast for the jury if they did not agree on a verdict within two and one half hours. Not wishing to rely on Sheriff Wood's break fast, Foreman McCown marched in with his fellow jurymen and announced, "We cannot agree". The students certainly strain for the strains in chapel, but we would suggest that the music either be strained or filtered. Even if the new style skirt is wider, it.. is not such a strain on the peepera, because the dresses are shorter. STUDENTS HOPE TO RETAIN DR. COLCOCK Draft Resolutions Asking Trus tees to Reconsider. The students of the Univer sity have shown deep regret over the late resignation of Prof. Colcock, for twenty-one years dean of the Department of Mathematics.
