MURDERoUsLY AssAILED.
The Victims Unsuspecting Family in an
Adjoining Room at the Time.

The Victims Unsuspecting Family in an
Adjoining Room at the Time.
NEW HAVEN, CONN, Oct. Slate last
night DR.. Zirk, of Bradford, after return
ing from professional visit, went to his
dining room for lunch. Shortly after his
family was awakened by the sound of
groans and found him lying on the floor
with blood flowing from several CHASTITY
wounds on the head. His condition was
so bad that it was thought that he would
die before morning. An invt stigation
showed that he had been robbed of $3.50
and gold watch. 1t is thought that the
assault was prompted by revenge, the
doctor having been very active lately in
prosecuting a number of disreputable
persons.
ANOTHER STORY OF THE ASSAULT.
Another account of the assault and
robbery says: "Dr. Zirk, Justice of the
Peace in the town of Bradford, was as
saUlted last night with an ak in his
kitchen, where he had eaten has lunch
and fallen asleep in a chair. While his
head was resting on the table some un-
known person entered and struck him a
blow on the back of the head, fracturing
his skull. Some time after he gained con-
sciOusness and crawled out of the kitchen
into the front yard and rang his door bell,
when the hOstler let him in. The foot
prints of barefooted person were found
in the sand near the house. Patrick
Doherty, who was fined and sent to Jail
by Justice Zirk on Saturday, and subse-
quently released, made threats against
him. Officers went to Doherty's home
at O'Clock in the morning and took him
out Of bed. The foot prints in the sand
correspOnded with the shape of Doherty's
foot. Doherty denies all knowledge of
the assault, but tells conflicting stories of
his Whereabouts last night. Physicians
all agree that DR.. Zirk will die"

OHIO OIL FIELDS.
Tho Noble County Territory 10 be Fur
NJ ther Detelopedl. ..'4ii

III ~ auer Developer. 'tl }s4fIh W
CLEVELAND, January 9.-There are a
great many people Of practical experience
who believe that there Is a large reservoir
OF oil under Ohio, and that some day Il
will be struck and yield great returns. The
occasional strikes In the Mecca field IN
Trumbull county, the recent flow In Bea'
yer, below youngstown, and the more re-
cent developments in Noble county tend
in the direction Of this belief. A gentleman
who has been looking over the Noble field
says that while no great developments
have as yet occurred there Ia enough there
10 warrant all necessary expense Ia the line
OF experiment. The rock 10 Of the oil.
bearing quality, and Is saturated With Pc
troleum. Near tho point from which this
was taken are two wells that have yielded
oil during the past 81 years. The fact that
this oll.bearing rock Is a! tho surface has
given rise to the theory that there Is great
deal OF oil several hundred feet below.
Tho idea is TO be put to test soon, as o
company Ia to be formed and o drill set
to work. There was a great deal OF ex.
element in that part Of the State some
years ago, but as the yield did not pay for
