Columbus, 27. Crusade matters have been
very quiet for some time, till this morning,
and now the old time excitement is up again.
Charles Wagner, proprietor of an eating and
drinking heuss, advertised q grand opening
to-day, proposing to sell several liquors bear
ing the names of "crusade water" and tho
names of one or two prominent ladies con-
| nected with the crusade movement. Upon
seeing this Advertisement 80 ladies marched
to his place to-day and small squad headed
by Mrs. Dessellern, president of the ladies'
league, stepped into his store and said they
had accepted his invitation to q free lnnch
and would like q little 'crusade water"
Wagner refused to give or sell them any.
They then attempted to pass into the dining
room, when Wagner ordered the party from
his premises. They refused to leave, saying
that he had invited the public and they had
come to get their part of the good things.
Wagner seized several of the ladies and put
them out doors. He then grabbed Mrs. Des-
sellern by the arm and pushed her toward the
door and some of the ladies say he struck
her, but several men present say he only
pushed her. When Wagner commenced his
work on the other ladies his wife seized Mrs.
Dessellern by the throat. Men from the out
side rushed in aud for time war of words
and some little scrubbing took place. A lot
| Of police arrived and the trouble was over
for the time. A large crowd congregated and
bloekaded the side walk, which was soon
cleared by the police, who commanded the la
dies to keep moving. They obeyed this or
der by walking in procession up and down in
front of Wsgner's place. The crowd Of men
would have dispersed ut the suggestion but
Wagner begged them into staying by saying
he would bail out of Jail any man arrested
for obstructing the sidewalk. Wagner's men
have been walking the pavement for long
time, but the crowd and crusaders are still on
duty. No further trouble is anticipated.
