Acquitted.
John Lewis returned last Wednesday from Eugene Circuit Court. He gave the information that Frank Wilkinson who was indicted last fall term of said court for killing a steer, was tried therefor by a jury of Lane county, and after the state had introduced their testimony in the case the defence did not introduce any testimony at all but simply let the matter go to the jury on the evidence of the state, which jury brought in a verdict of acquittal without hardly leaving the box. In justice to Mr. Wilkinson who for a long time lived a citizen of this county, and for the benefit of his many friends in this county who knew him to be an honest upright citizen we make the statement.
