DAMAGE SUIT STILL ON Case Will be Given to Jury During this Forenoon. JURY VIEWED THE ROAD Many Witnesses for the Defendant in Maus Damage Suit -What They Attempt to Prove. The Maus damage suit, which went on trial Monday, occupied the entire day before court yesterday. The plaintiff rested at 10:30 o'clock a.

m. The detense had a large number of witnesses subpoenaed, about a dozen of whom were examined, the most important being George W. West, surveyor, who last March took measurements and made plans of the road, and John Hartline and Calvin Blechler who were supervisors of the township at the time of the accident. The defendants attempted to prove that the road was safe; that the declivity which caused the upset was only slight, feet, and not at all steep, so that vehicles are driving over it today as they did before the accident which befell the Maus brothers; that the road is and was wide enough for four buggies to pass abreast; that the stone with which the road was repaired were by no meaLs an obstacle to travel; that no guard rail was necessary and that the accident was due to the horse taking fright at a cycler, who was approaching at an unlawful rate of speed, together with the imprudent act of the driver in cramping the left front wheel so as to cause the buggy to upset. At one o'clock yesterday the jury in a body were driven out to the spot where the accident occurred for the purpose of viewing the road.

The case will be given to the jury this morning. KILLED BY ELECTRICITY Frank Willey, Nephew of David C. Hunt, -Buried Today. David C. Hunt of this city yesterday received a telegram apprising him of the death of his nephew, Frank Willey, of Chicago.

DANVILLE, A PRACTICAL JOKER Held Up the Wrong Party and Ran Foul of a Gun. BEGGED FOR HIS LIFE Three Young Fellows Decide to Have Some Fun With Each Other and What Grew Out of It, The river bridge, Monday night, came within an ace of being the scene of a bloodcurdling tragedy.

A well-known young man of this city who thought he would have some fun with a counle of companions was taken for a highwayman and escaped a bullet only through the hardest kind of pleading. Shortly before midnight three young men of the third ward decided to take a stroll over the bridge to get a view of the fire which was then burning in the direction of Union Corner. Before reaching the river one of the party was detained for a moment and the other two thought it would be fine sport to steal ahead of him and hide in the bridge. They took the driveway and were soon out of sight. The fellow in the rear was not slow to take in the situation and decided to turn the tables on his companions.

He did not follow, but hid among the timberg near the entrance of the bridge, reasoning that they would soon become weary of waiting and return, when he would spring out upon them and give them a good scare. It was not long before he heard the foot-steps of two persons approaching along the upper sidewalk of the bridge. He waited until they reached this end when he tiptoed out and with a whoop and outstretched arms sprang upon the couple just as they reached the turnstile. Of course, they were frightened; so was the young man. For the first thing he saw was a revolver glistening in the electric light.

Instead of his two companions he had held up a strange man and WOman. The gentleman was indignant in the extreme and he wasn't carrying a revolver for nothing. With a threat and a challenge he leveled his gun at our practical joker, whose hair literally stood on end as the cold steel almost touched his forehead. "Don't shoot, don't." he explained, "it--it was a mistake." The man was sure he had captured a brigand and gave a deaf ear to the poor fellow's plea. "I ought to shoot you," he repeated, as with leveled revolver he followed the young fellow, who meekly attempted to back away.

There is no telling what might have happened had not the joker's two companions just then come out of the bridge. The three together succeeded in convincing the stranger that no harm was intended and he consented to drop the matter. EDWARD CAMPBELL TO WED Marriage Announced for the 18th InstThe Bride. The Mt.
