An Awful Eruption ' J
of a volcano excites brief interest, and
your interest in skin eruptions will be
as short, if you use Buoklen’s Arnica
Salve, their quickest cure. Even the
worst bolls, ulcers, or fever pores are
soon healed by it. Best for burns, cuts,
bruises, sore lips, chapped hands,
chilblains and piles. It gives instant
relief. 26c. at C. J. Wall.
Mr. William C. Colbert of Van
Alstyne, was here this week and
purchased some farming land near
town. He gave the Sun office a
short call and seemed very much
pleased with our town, and inti-
mated that later on he might move
to Grapevine and go Into business.

Little Things That Influenced Jurors
and Their Verdicts.
Abraham Lincoln succeeded
once in having the accused man at
a murder trial set free by making
use of an almanac. A witness for
the prosecutiop testified that he
had seen the murder committed
and had recognized the murderer
by the light .of the moon, but by
referring to the almanac, Lincoln
proved that on the night in ques-
tion the moon was not shining.
There are many cases on record
that have been decided on just
such simple points as this, says
the New York World.
instance, the case of a former rep-
resentative in congress who shot
and killed a waiter in a Washing-
ton hotel. The evidence at the
trial showed that the accused man
had entered the hotel late in the
evening and had ordered a meal,
which was badly served. There-
upon the diner asked another wait-
er to assist in bringing his dinner,
and the man refused. The con-
gressman drew a revolver, ad-
vanced toward the waiter as though
intending to shoot him, but did
not fire. Subsequently an alter-
cation arose between the congress-
man and a number of people in the
restaurant, .and, as the evidence
showed, he Was attacked. Then
it was that the shot was fired that
killed the waiter.
Before the jury retired to delib-
erate the judge said that if the
evidence made it appear to tho jury
that the accused man had fired the
shot that killed waiter only when
he was being pressed by superior
numbers, thus placing him in jeo-
pardy, then he was justified in
taking life. The jury rendered a
verdict of acquittal one hour after
they retired.
A strange case was that of a
murderer whose lease on life
was extended because one of the
members of the jury was past the
age of 65 years. The case was
tried under the laws of the Distrct
of Columbia, which made it in-1

tired to a hot, stuffy room, and
at 8 o’clock no agreement had been
reached. Disagreement meant a
long stay in the jury room, and
finally a suggestion was made that
lots be drawn to decide whether a
verdict of acquittal or conviction
be rendered. Each juror was
handed a slip on which he was to
write either “Guilty or “Not
guilty.’1 The slips were then placed
between the leaves of a book. The
first slip drawn from the book by
the foreman was either to convict
or acquit the defendant, and a pa-
per was drawn bearing the word
Take, for “Guilty.” <
Some men who serve on juries in
criminal cases where a woman is
the defendant are disinclined to
vote for her conviction. Thus the
decision in a case where a woman
was charged with shoplifting de-
pended on a game of cards. Three
of the jurors stood for conviction
and nine for acquittal. Finally
one of the jurors suggested that
the verdict be reached by a series
of card games. The games were
started and the me a standingout'
for conviction were beaten. All
of the jurors voted “Not guilty,”
and the woman on trial was ac-
quitted.
Often the fear of remaining lock-
ed up in the jury room for a long
period will cause juries to resort to
strange means to arrive at a ver-
dict. An accused man who was
placed on trial charged with petty
larceny admitted on the stand that
he was a thief, but still a verdict
of acquittal was rendered by the
jury.
For an hour the jurors wrangled
among themselves in their endeav-
or to decide upon a unanimous
verdict. It soon became apparent
that no decision could be agreed
upon, and one of the jurymen de-
clared that there was no use quar-
reling over the different degrees,
and since they could not agree on
any one of them, the best course
to pursue would be to acquit the
man. He added that unless that

Do Ibvely eyes ever effect a jury?
The case of a client of the late
James T. Brady may be an indi-
cation that they do. All through
the course of the trial of the case,
which involved an attempt to
break a will, the young woman
sat beside Mr. Brady. She was
very beautiful. In her there was
a pathetic expression which seem-
ed to affect everyone upon which
she looked. So intently did she
keep her eyes riveted on the jury
that the complaint was m&de that
she was endeavoring by means of 1
her glances to excite the sympathy
of the men who were to decide the I
case.
Mr. Brady arose. He spoke of
the blessing everyone enjoys who ,
has a love for beautiful things and ,
can enjoy them with their eyes.
For some moments he dwelt upon
.b the hannv lot of the iurv, It was ’
springtime and he sooke of their
power to enjoy the flowers and the
many other charms of nature.
Suddenly he turned and pointed
to his client: ]
“But that blessing is denied my ,
client,” he said, “for though she
has eyes which seem to look at
you, gentlemen, there is no vision '
in them, for her eight has been
taken from her.”
