publicity had already been given to his
troubles by the newspapers, aud be would

have no more slid about him. His lawyer,
Mr.. Perdue, thought it would be better for
him to give correct version OF the matter
himself than by keeping silence or to allow
garbled or false reports to be printed. Act
ing on this advice, he consented to, answer
questions regarding his movements since

up the practice OF Illicit distilling. This
has brought down upon them the
vengeance OF the distillers, who have
served notice upon. them TO leave

The first evidence that the distillers
meant business was the assassination OF a
Young man named Dy&r, who had testified
against several persons. Dyar was riding
Nome in a wagon, and when driving
through thick copse, u well-almed bullet
sped through his brain. He fell back in
the wagon, and tho horses taking fright,

First, OF grasping selhshness, which ended

that the Republican county ticket Is elect.
ed by;varying tnajotities. All over the
Western Reserve substantial Republican
gains are shown and in only one town,
Oberlil, has the Prohibition vote caused
a Republican loss. A full vote was polled
here, The election being without incident.
The LeqdSr will say tomorrow that the
whole State Republican ticket is elected by
from 5000 10 $4,000 plurality. The Leg
islature will be Republican on joint ballot
with good working majority in both
houses. The vote Was heavy and the Re.
publicans on the Western Reserve came
out in full force, every one feeling it q
duty to do all in his power to bring the
country back to Republican rule. This
result will secure the election Of Repub-
lican United States Senator and thsearly

traffic. Another very probable result will
be to eliminate the Third Party, Prohibi-
