Yes, Dee, these are the only papers I read on a daily (or whenever posted!) basis. The only news I need to get my day going...thanks so much for your faithful contributions!! Janet Hopkins

An elderly cousin of my mother was living in Anderson. A recent phone call to her gave the message that the number was no longer in service. I'm afraid she has died and I didn't hear about it. Her daughter would not have known my name or number. If someone is in the Anderson area perhaps they'd be willing to look up semi-recent obits for that area (past year or so). Please contact me direct at bandbpompei@comcast.net Thank you Barbara

Daniel Wallace Carter also had a son with the same name. If the one you are looking for was born in 1880, he was still alive in 1942 (He is on the WWII Draft Reg.) The son appears to have been born in 1906 and died in 1982. I don't find the death for the father. Jan

I will endeavor to persevere.

Could someone with Vitalsearch membership look in 1930-1939 deaths for Daniel Wallace Carter, probably in Humboldt County (12). There's a Daniel W. Carter who died in 1921 but it was Fresno County and he was still registered to vote in Humboldt in 1930.

Hanford Journal Hanford, Kings Co., California Tuesday, 23 JULY 1895 ************************************ BIRTH -- STOUT -- In Hanford, Cal., July 18, 1895, to the wife of H.F. STOUT, a daughter. BIRTH -- BRENNAN -- 6 miles SE of Hanford, July 21, 1895, to Mr.&Mrs. Frank BRENNAN, a son. [from Grangeville column] -- M.N. DOGGETT of Grangeville and Mae ROBINSON of Hardwick were married in Hanford Saturday. Both parties are well and favorably known and all their friends wish them a long life of happiness, peace and prosperity. DEATH -- SWEENEY -- 7 1/2 miles SE of Hanford, July 20, 1895, infant son of Mr.&Mrs. Pat SWEENEY, aged 10 months. --------------------------------------------------- JEAN GAUDIN, at whose trial on the 12th, for robbing Kirk CLARK of $15 the jury disagreed, has since been out on bail. C.C. SPINKS was on his bond and desired to withdraw from it and had the necessary papers made out. Instead of naming an officer, however, to arrest GAUDIN and turn him over to the Sheriff, Mr. SPINKS named John E. DAVIDSON, a young attorney of this city, as the person to make the arrest. DAVIDSON and GAUDIN had no love for each other. GAUDIN claims that DAVIDSON approached him and told him he was under arrest and began beating him over the head with a 6-shooter. The weapon inflicted a bad scalp wound on the back of his head. DAVIDSON claims that GAUDIN tried to pull a knife on him; that if he had submitted peaceably to arrest there would have been no trouble. GAUDIN secured a new bondsman and is still out on bail. ------------------------------------------------------- 2 ESCAPES -- From the Jail of Kings County Behind Bars Again -- Captured After a Few Hours Chase -- They Were Petty Criminals Whose Sentences Had Nearly Expired -- 2 prisoners who were serving a sentence of 30 days each for petty larceny, for stealing some tools from the TILTON brothers of Grangeville, escaped from the county jail yesterday morning at 6:15 o'clock. One of the men, Fred EDMONDS (alias HECKER) had been acting as janitor and was sweeping out the office. Jailer WALKER was in the office also. The door from the office to the jail had been left ajar, so that another prisoner, J. CROSS, who was acting as cook, could come out and get the meat to cook for breakfast. Just after EDMONDS picked up the broom, CROSS came out into the office to get the meat and when the jailer had his back turned, both prisoners bolted for the front door and escaped into the street. They dashed down Front street with Jailer WALKER in pursuit. The latter commanded them to halt, which they did not do, and he fired 2 shots after them. After chasing them over some 2 blocks, the jailer turned his pistol over to S.E. MOUSER and the latter followed the escape s, wh ile Mr. WALKER returned to the jail, as there was no one in charge of the jail and he was afraid to leave it alone. The escapes ran together to the SE corner of the old park, where they separated, both entering the park, however. EDMONDS went across the park to the NW corner and thence into J.V. ROGERS' vineyard; thence went across the slough and into the cornfield near the slaughter house of J.M. DAGGS, where he was captured by Constable GOODRICH and Night Watchman HICKS, J.M. DAGGS and Mr. WOODS. The constable and his posse did a good piece of work in following the prisoner by his tracks. EDMONDS promptly surrendered when called upon. CROSS went into the park and hid. A posse of officers and citizens began a systematic search for him and he was at last discovered laying in the bottom of Sand slough, out of which the water had just been turned. His body was covered with dense brush, but he forgot to draw his feet up out of sight and their appearance sticking from the brush pile caused his capture. Both prisoners were back in jail by about 10 o'clock. Their sentences would have expired on Saturday next, but now they will be tried and no doubt sentenced for jail breaking. Night Watchman HICKS tells a good story on himself. He was after the escapes in the park. He came up to a man and asked him if he had seen 2 bareheaded men run into the park. The stranger said he had and pointed to the place where he said they had gone. HICKS then asked the stranger to go to the NW corner of the park and watch for escapes. The stranger did so with alacrity, but when he got to the corner of the park he did not stop, but kept on going. It was EDMONDS, one of the escapes. ------------------------------------------------------- A BOILER EXPLODES -- Near Tulare, Killing 2 Men and Wounding 8 Others -- A terrible accident occurred on the BLANKENSHIP ranch 8 miles SE of Tulare, about 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning, in which 2 men were instantly killed and 8 others wounded, 2 of whom may yet die. The following in regard to the accident is taken from the Visalia 'Delta:' The HANNAFORD Bros. threshing crew of 22 men were engaged in threshing the barley crop of Walter CARLETON, on the BLANKENSHIP ranch, between Tulare and Woodville. Between 8:30 and 9 o'clock, operations ceased and the men ate their morning lunch. After dining some of the men were engaged in making some repairs about the separator, while others were lying in the shade waiting for work to be resumed. Street CORNISH, of Tulare, the engineer, was engaged in packing the piston rod and Walter CARELTON was engaged in firing up the engine with straw. CORNISH was on top of the engine. Without a premonition of danger, a terrific explosion took place and the eye-witnesses say the scene beggared description. The exploded boiler badly mangled the engineer and he lived only a few minutes. Clarence TOWERY, a young man who was standing near the engine looking at it, was instantly killed. For a few minutes afterward the groans of the wounded men, 8 in number, scalded and maimed, were heart-rending in the extreme. For a short space of time the men who escaped injury were so dazed by the awful explosion that they were not able to do anything to assist their suffering comrades. T.C. RENO went to the assistance of the engineer, whom he found near the cook house, about 30 feet from where the engine stood. He says that CORNISH must have been hurled at least 100 feet in the air. When he reached him, CORNISH was found in a terribly mangled condition. CORNISH asked RENO to raise him up, but the latter told him to lie still and he would wash him and he would feel better. The suffering engineer then became unconscious. He was carried to the shade of the cook house and in 10 minutes he breathed his last. The other wounded men were made as comfortable as possible and messengers were sent to Tipton and Tulare to summon physicians to the scene and attend the victims of the explosion. They are as follows: Walter CARLETON Harry NOFSINGER Wm. BRADEN Henry RAYMOND John E. ROBERTS Frank MITCHELL Al. ROBERTS The force of the explosion was so great that the boiler was hurled between the separator and cleaner and landed 900 feet away. It was thrown high in the air. The separator was not injured. The engine, however, was completely wrecked. Street CORNISH, the dead engineer, was a young man and was only married last summer. His wife gave birth to a baby about 10 days before the accident and fears are now entertained for her recovery. CORNISH was formerly in the employ of the Southern Pacific Co. as a fireman but lost his job during the strike last summer. Clarence TOWERY was an only son of A.E. TOWERY. He was standing in front of the engine at the time of the accident and was killed instantly. Of the 8 men injured, 2 may die, NOFSINGER and CARLETON, but the rest will recover. CARLETON sustained the most severe injuries of all who escaped alive. His face, neck, arms, chest and sides were fearfully scalded. NOFSINGER was badly scalded all over. At the inquest it was developed that CORNISH and TOWERY came to their deaths by the explosion of a threshing machine; that the machine belonged to J. GOLDMAN & Co., and was in charge of George HANNAFORD; that the engine was carrying more steam than it could stand. Harry EVANS, who had been fireman but who laid off on account of sickness, testified that he thought the engine overworked; that the separator and other machinery required more power than the engine was able to furnish. He said that the steam in the gauge had a habit of stopping and when the pressure was increased the indicated steam would jump up 5 pounds at a clip. [from Local Paragraphs column] -- All the men scalded at the boiler explosion near Tulare last week, are doing well and the doctors think they will all recover, although with some of them recovery will be very slow. Their number has been reduced by 1, Walter CARLETON having died last Saturday. ----------------------------------------------------- THE DIVORCE NOT GRANTED -- An Attorney Changes a Date on a Legal Document And Gets a Judicial Roasting -- The change of date on a court paper is likely to get a Madera attorney into serious trouble. A citation was issued out of the Superior Court of Fresno County for Charles RANDALL formerly of this (Kings) county to appear on June 26th and show case why a divorce and the care of their children should not be granted his wife, Mary E. RANDALL. The plaintiff's attorney, Francis A. FEE, changed the date on the citation to July 18th, without permission of the court. R.F. ROTH, of the firm of Roth & McFadzean, when he went to Fresno, discovered the change of date in the citation and made a motion to dismiss the case, which Judge Carter at once granted. Mr. ROTH then made a motion that the costs be taxed to the plaintiff, but the Judge refused to tax the costs against the plaintiff for the reason, he said, that the plaintiff should not suffer for a crime committed by her attorney. The 'Expositor' says that the Court read FEE a scathing lecture, and stated that if he was a member of the Fresno bar he would mete out punishment to fit the crime. ROTH & McFADZEAN contemplate bringing suit against the attorney of Madera for damages incurred. Chas. RANDALL now lives at Milo, Tulare county. ------------------------------------------------------ LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -Chas. HOUSTON, a 16-year-old boy who lives with L.C. LENS, was thrown from a horse last Sunday and it is thought was badly injured. -Mont HORNBEAK has the mumps and Phil FORD is filling his place at the depot. -Mrs. W.J. HUDNER writes to her husband that her health has greatly improved since she went to Santa Cruz. THE RESIDENCE of Mrs. BACON in Lemoore was destroyed by fire last Saturday night about 8:30 o'clock, with all its contents, including a new piano. A lamp exploded in the sitting room while Mrs. BACON was preparing supper for her son Frank who is baggage man and mail agent on the local train. Mrs. BACON barely escaped with her life. The Lemoore firemen did good work by saving the frame buildings close on each side of the one burned. One of the buildings saved is the residence of Thomas ESREY, which escaped as usual. It has been surrounded by flames 4 or 5 times before. ELSIE THOMAS was again in the Justice Court last Thursday, charged with battery on J. ESPIASSE, whose head was suffering from a cut received from a pistol in the hands of the festive Elsie. Soon after he got out the complaint, ESPIASSE appeared before Judge Randall and asked to have the case dismissed, but the Justice informed him that no such trifling with the Court would be permitted, and a little later ESPIASSE was arrested for living in a house of ill fame and was put into jail in default of bail. Elsie THOMAS has for years conducted a notorious house of prostitution south of the track and she was convicted a few weeks ago of keeping such a house, and fined $75, but the case is now on appeal to the Superior Court. JOE RUTHERFORD of Porterville was found by his father on Monday night of last week, lying in a water trough. Both sides of his jaw were broken and the windpipe out of place. A horse kicked him while he was taking the saddle and bridle off. A LETTER received last night from Wm. AGEE by his brother, Newt, stated that he (Wm.), H. LATHAM, and A. BIANCHI, who went to Alaska, had arrived at Cooks Inlet and had gone back into the mountains. This relieves the minds of their friends of all fear as to their safety. -------------------------------------------------------- GRANGEVILLE -- -Miss ALEXANDER received 2 boxes of huckleberries from her home in Kentucky. They arrived in fine shape. ARMONA -- -O.W. CATLIN is the new mail carrier now instead of W.J. McFEE, from the Armona postoffice to the S.P.R.R. depot. -Louis KOLB has bought out Al McCANDLESS and will occupy the place as a dwelling, his own residence to be used as a saloon. -Uncle John CRIGLER, his 2 daughters (Mrs. DICKINSON and Mrs. BLACK), and his brother start today for the coast to be gone about 4 or 5 weeks. Mr. DICKINSON will follow in a week or 10 days. Transcribed by Dee Sardoch To see more old newspapers, visit http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/

BIRTH -- CRAWFORD -- Near Armona, July 14th, to the wife of Jack CRAWFORD, a son. DEATH -- SHARP -- At the residence of his parents, Mr.&Mrs. B.V. SHARP, near Hanford, July 15, 1895, Fred B. SHARP, aged 27 years. [Deceased was well known in Hanford, where he had a large circle of friends. His parents have the heartfelt sympathy of the people of this city in their affliction. The funeral takes place this evening (Tuesday) at 6 o'clock, from the family residence, and the remains will be interred in the Hanford cemetery.] [from Local Paragraphs column] -- A brother of Chas. KING (R.D. KING) died in Shelbyville, Tenn., on the 4th. [from Grangeville column] -- Mrs. DAVIS received a telegram last Monday announcing the death of her father on Sunday. Mr.&Mrs. DAVIS started at once for Raymond, Madera Co., to attend the funeral. They drove there in a little over 12 hours. The deceased gentleman, Mr. DAVIDS, was an old pioneer, having come to California in the early fifties. He was over 76 years of age. His death is deeply regretted by his children and many friends. ------------------------------------------------------- DEATH OF AN OLD SOLDIER -- Headquarters McPherson Post, G.A.R. Hanford, July 13th, 1895 Died in Hanford, Cal., July 7, David COON, aged 62 years, 4 months. The remains were followed to Hanford cemetery by a large number of relatives and friends. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. A.G. PARK and members of McPherson Post, who assumed charge of the last sad rites. Comrade COON was a veteran of the civil war, in which he served more then 3 years as a member of the 122d Illinois Infantry, and in which he made a good record as a brave soldier and gallant defender of his country. For several years he has been a member of Geo. H. Thomas Post of San Francisco, the place of his residence. In the loss of Comrade COON, a kind father, a worthy citizen and true patriot has crossed over the "dark river," and his demise forcibly reminds us that within a short time at most, the last of us will have answered the last roll call and gone to that "undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns." The family and other relatives of Major COON are hereby tendered the profoundest sympathy of McPherson Post. Comm.: L.C. HAWLEY J.F. GARWOOD F. McFEE ------------------------------------------------------- SHE WAS CONVICTED -- Elsie THOMAS Astonished at the Enforcement of the Law -- In our last issue we mentioned that the case of Elsie THOMAS, charged with conducting a house of ill-fame in this city, was before the jury for decision as we went to press on Tuesday and that, with the evidence presented, we did not see how the jury could fail to convict. The jury found the defendant guilty, after deliberating about an hour. On Wednesday afternoon Justice Fassett sentenced the woman to pay a fine of $75 or serve 75 days in jail. Her attorney, Rowen IRWIN, appealed the case to the Superior Court. Elsie THOMAS has conducted a house of prostitution in this city for years, and has been arrested many times for keeping such a house, but this is the 1st time that she has ever been convicted. City Marshal McGINNIS deserves great credit for the interest he has taken in the case and in the preservation of decency and order. District Attorney SHORT also deserves credit for his vigorous prosecution of the case. The general opinion of the people, and certainly their hope, is that the appeal of the case will be in vain. If the result of this case is to make the prostitutes who inhabit Miss THOMAS' resort, as well as herself, less prominent on the public thoroughfares of this city much good will have been accomplished, but if they continue to parade the streets with the brazen effrontery which they have exhibited for many months past, the officers should continue to make arrests and prosecute cases until the filthy nest is broken up entirely. Prostitution is a crime under the law and the open violation of the law can be checked by the officers if their efforts are backed up by a healthy public sentiment, but not without it. ------------------------------------------------------- RAN AND FOUGHT -- Claud ARMSTRONG Refuses to Surrender And Shoots at Traver Officers -- He Escapes to Kings River in the Darkness -- Petty Thieving Still Continues at Traver -- Claud ARMSTRONG of Traver is a desperado of the 1st water. He was accused with Ben BARLOW (since acquitted) of robbing a Portuguese sheep herder out in the Excelsior district. The Traver officers have been looking for him. Last Saturday night, young ARMSTRONG, who has all the time since the robbery been in the vicinity of Traver, rode to the home of his parents in that town. Constable Geo. BERTKIN and his deputy, Charley MARTIN, learned of this being in town and going where his horse was tied, remained in hiding until young ARMSTRONG appeared, when they ordered him to throw up his hands. Instead of doing so, ARMSTRONG made for his horse and mounted. The officers then opened fire on him with their revolvers. ARMSTRONG threw himself on the side of his horse farthest from the officers, in Indian style, and returned the fire, emptying all of the chambers of his 6-shooter. He rode away from the officers as he shot. The officers followed ARMSTRONG to Kings River, where all trace of him was lost. Neither of the officers were hurt by ARMSTRONG's bullets. The latter is now certainly in a bad scrape. As his pal, BARLOW, had no trouble in getting clear, he could probably have got clear also. Now he will have to answer a much more severe. ------------------------------------------------------ LOCAL PARAGRAPHS -- -Charley HOWARD and wife, of the Cressey farm, have gone on a visit to Maine, their old home. -Prof. T.J. UPDYKE, well known to many of our people, has been selected as principal of the Kingsburg school. -Ed HALL has taken to riding a bicycle.

SKEEM rented FIX's place and there has been trouble between them for several months, which culminated in their having a fight with hammers. A LITTLE SON of Wm. E. FURMAN of Lakeside, while playing with other children, was struck in the knee with a pen knife thrown by one of the other children. Dr. CLOW was sent for Sunday night to attend the boy, whom he found suffering very much pain from the wound. GEORGE GORDON, the hobo who stole a shirt from Henry FORD's residence, was tried last Wednesday and found guilty and was sentenced by Justice Fassett to 30 days in jail. His partner in the crime, Frank BARRY, plead guilty and was sentenced to 20 days. J.S. BROWN arrived here last week and has charge of W.G. ROSS' warehouses at Hanford, Armona and Lemoore and is rustling for business. He was for 10 years superintendent of the Nevada docks at Port Costa, hence is an experienced hand in the wheat business. His office is in Hanford, where he can always be found ready to talk sale or [rest cut off] ON SUNDAY Constable Furnish of Lemoore brought to the county jail a Portuguese named Jose Cordoza PIMENTAL, who is charged with forcible entry and detainer, by taking charge of a band of sheep. R.E. McKENNA swore to the complaint. PIMENTAL gave $50 bonds and was released. JEAN GAUDEAU was tried before Justice Randall last Friday on a charge of having robbed Kirke CLARK of $15, while the latter was intoxicated at SPINKS' saloon. Defendant admitted taking CLARKE's watch and some money, which was returned to CLARKE. The prosecution alleged that GAUDEAU took more money from CLARKE than he returned. The evidence was very conflicting and the jury, after deliberating for several hours, reported that they were unable to agree and were discharged. District Attorney SHORT was assisted in the prosecution of the case by John A. DAVIDSON, while Rufus ABBOTT and Frank PRYOR represented the defense. ------------------------------------------------------- GRANGEVILLE -- -Grace HOOVER is quite low with brain fever. -We are informed by Harry HORLOCK (and he ought to know) that Miss STACEY will return home next Friday. -The latest news from the boys who went to Alaska was obtained from a Sitka paper.

Dee,   Just a quick THANK YOU for transcribing these newspapers!  They are so much fun to read.  I am not researching anyone in the Hanford area at this time, but you never know.  But they are fun to read anyway!   Pat Linton Eugene, Oregon --- On Thu, 2/11/10, Dee Sardoc <deesar@frontiernet.net> wrote: From: Dee Sardoc <deesar@frontiernet.net> Subject: [NORCAL] Hanford, Kings Co., CA -- 16 July 1895 To: NORCAL@rootsweb.com, CAKINGS@rootsweb.com, CATULARE@rootsweb.com Date: Thursday, February 11, 2010, 1:28 PM Hanford Journal Hanford, Kings Co., California Tuesday, 16 JULY 1895 ************************************* BIRTH --  VOLLMER -- In Hanford, Cal., July 11, 1895, to the wife of George VOLLMER of Mojave, a daughter.

KING (R.D. KING) died in Shelbyville, Tenn., on the 4th. [from Grangeville column] -- Mrs. DAVIS received a telegram last Monday announcing the death of her father on Sunday. Mr.&Mrs. DAVIS started at once for Raymond, Madera Co., to attend the funeral. They drove there in a little over 12 hours. The deceased gentleman, Mr. DAVIDS, was an old pioneer, having come to California in the early fifties. He was over 76 years of age. His death is deeply regretted by his children and many friends. ------------------------------------------------------- DEATH OF AN OLD SOLDIER -- Headquarters McPherson Post, G.A.R. Hanford, July 13th, 1895 Died in Hanford, Cal., July 7, David COON, aged 62 years, 4 months. The remains were followed to Hanford cemetery by a large number of relatives and friends. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. A.G. PARK and members of McPherson Post, who assumed charge of the last sad rites. Comrade COON was a veteran of the civil war, in which he served more then 3 years as a member of the 122d Illinois Infantry, and in which he made a good record as a brave soldier and gallant defender of his country. For several years he has been a member of Geo. H. Thomas Post of San Francisco, the place of his residence. In the loss of Comrade COON, a kind father, a worthy citizen and true patriot has crossed over the "dark river," and his demise forcibly reminds us that within a short time at most, the last of us will have answered the last roll call and gone to that "undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns." The family and other relatives of Major COON are hereby tendered the profoundest sympathy of McPherson Post. Comm.: L.C. HAWLEY J.F. GARWOOD F. McFEE ------------------------------------------------------- SHE WAS CONVICTED -- Elsie THOMAS Astonished at the Enforcement of the Law -- In our last issue we mentioned that the case of Elsie THOMAS, charged with conducting a house of ill-fame in this city, was before the jury for decision as we went to press on Tuesday and that, with the evidence presented, we did not see how the jury could fail to convict. The jury found the defendant guilty, after deliberating about an hour. On Wednesday afternoon Justice Fassett sentenced the woman to pay a fine of $75 or serve 75 days in jail. Her attorney, Rowen IRWIN, appealed the case to the Superior Court. Elsie THOMAS has conducted a house of prostitution in this city for years, and has been arrested many times for keeping such a house, but this is the 1st time that she has ever been convicted. City Marshal McGINNIS deserves great credit for the interest he has taken in the case and in the preservation of decency and order. District Attorney SHORT also deserves credit for his vigorous prosecution of the case. The general opinion of the people, and certainly their hope, is that the appeal of the case will be in vain. If the result of this case is to make the prostitutes who inhabit Miss THOMAS' resort, as well as herself, less prominent on the public thoroughfares of this city much good will have been accomplished, but if they continue to parade the streets with the brazen effrontery which they have exhibited for many months past, the officers should continue to make arrests and prosecute cases until the filthy nest is broken up entirely. Prostitution is a crime under the law and the open violation of the law can be checked by the officers if their efforts are backed up by a healthy public sentiment, but not without it. ------------------------------------------------------- RAN AND FOUGHT -- Claud ARMSTRONG Refuses to Surrender And Shoots at Traver Officers -- He Escapes to Kings River in the Darkness -- Petty Thieving Still Continues at Traver -- Claud ARMSTRONG of Traver is a desperado of the 1st water. He was accused with Ben BARLOW (since acquitted) of robbing a Portuguese sheep herder out in the Excelsior district. The Traver officers have been looking for him. Last Saturday night, young ARMSTRONG, who has all the time since the robbery been in the vicinity of Traver, rode to the home of his parents in that town. Constable Geo. BERTKIN and his deputy, Charley MARTIN, learned of this being in town and going where his horse was tied, remained in hiding until young ARMSTRONG appeared, when they ordered him to throw up his hands. Instead of doing so, ARMSTRONG made for his horse and mounted. The officers then opened fire on him with their revolvers. ARMSTRONG threw himself on the side of his horse farthest from the officers, in Indian style, and returned the fire, emptying all of the chambers of his 6-shooter. He rode away from the officers as he shot. The officers followed ARMSTRONG to Kings River, where all trace of   him was lost. Neither of the officers were hurt by ARMSTRONG's bullets. The latter is now certainly in a bad scrape. As his pal, BARLOW, had no trouble in getting clear, he could probably have got clear also.

JEAN GAUDEAU was tried before Justice Randall last Friday on a charge of having robbed Kirke CLARK of $15, while the latter was intoxicated at SPINKS' saloon.

The evidence was very conflicting and the jury, after deliberating for several hours, reported that they were unable to agree and were discharged. District Attorney SHORT was assisted in the prosecution of the case by John A.
