LIQUOR LICENSES REvoKED.-At Onan-
cock in Accomack county on Friday week,
Judge Garrison, of the County Court of Ac-
comack, delivered an opinion in the case of
the liquor dealers who procured licenses
just before the adoption of the local-option
law in that district. The Judge revoked the
licenses, holding that the granting of a Ii
cense is a privilege that can be revoked at
the pleasure of the State. The Judge cited
a long list of authorities in defense of his
opinion. Pending tile decision of this case
all the liquor soloons in that district have
been closed since Saturday week. The
money paid by the liquor dealers for their
licenses will be refunded them.

Sunday was day of marked quiet in
Chicago. There were fewer people on the
streets than usual, and as for the Anarchists,
they were all hid away 10 their dens. There
seems to have been no disturbance in Gin
cinnat. The Anarchists there, though few
in number. boosted of being better organ
lied for "war" than were the fiends of 9TH
er cities They claimed to have 800 men
armed with Winchester rifles and dynamite
bombs and we'll drilled But the National
Guard of Ohio, to the number of 9, 900, and
United States troops to the number of 800,
were encamped in Cincinnati all day Sun
day, the day the outbreak was announced
to occur. The United States troops had
been sent to Cincinnati, o., and Newport,
Ky, to protect the Government buildings
in case of a riot. Gatling guns were there
in large.numbers. Now it is shame that in
peaceful country like this, our soldiers
have to be called upon so often to protect
life and property in the great cities from
the fury of the mobs. But the only way
to deal with mob is with grapeshot and
canister. This mobbish element must come
to an end. And if the ringleaders of the
Anarchists are hanged it will be very
long time before the country will witness
scenes similar to those that stirred Chicago
last week.-Rich. State.

ENos MARTIN LIBERATED. AS our
readers will remember, in January last a
man named Enos Martin was arrested in
Hughes Draft on the charge of killing his
flve-year-od daughter. He was tried at the
February term of Allegheny Court, and
convicted of murder in the second degree,
the evidence showing that he had brutally
burned the child's lower limbs and then
fractured her skull by blow. He was SEN
fenced to six years in the pententiary. His
counsel, Gen. Skeen, appealed the case to
the Circuit Court, and Judge Mclaughlin
reversed the verdict of the lower Court,
giving as his opinion that the evidence did
not justify the verdict. The case thus
came back to the County Court, at its
April term, but was continued. Last Tues
day the case was again called at the May
term, but no new evidence being adduced,
the accused was discharged from custody
While the evidence against Martin was
more or less circumstantial, yet the testi-
many of his mother and sister proved by his
inh uman treatment he was the cause of his
child's death, and the man who would MUIR

KNIGHTS OF LABOR AND THE DYNA-
M1TERs.-The Lynchburg Virginian says
that while it is true that the Knights of
Labor ''have no cooperation Or sympathy
with the dynamite horror of Most and Spies
and Parsons and Schawb and their incen-
diary disciples, yet it is "also true that
the popular demonstrations and disturban-
ces incident to the labor movement have
afforded favorable occasion for the anar-
chists and iconoclasts to emerge from their
dens and startle the country with their de-
structiye and direful work. 1t therefore
behooves the organization to do as they have
done-exonerate themselves by prompt dis
claimer, of all completely in.the teachings
or objects of these social fire brands and des-
tructives. And it also behooves them to
be exceedingly circumspect in everything
that they may say Or do in the immediate
future. Otherwise they will incur, if they
do not merit, the censure of contributing to
the shocking and fiendsh msdoings Of the
incendiary gang who train with such mon
sters as Most and Spies.

Pine Timber Assessments.

and ltasca counties, under contracts re.
Gently made with them for that work.
Mr.. Seelye has Hascs5an Maj. Ruffse
Gass. As there is comparatively no i'm.
proved real estate in the whole region,
the assessment they must n AXE is nearly
entirely on pine timber, and thus their
works. Of deep interest to the timber
owners Of the region, in which is stored
q large per cent Of all the standing pine
timber on the Mississippi waters. The
purpose is TO make q thorough and exact
estimate, and for this purpose the entire
district will be cruised out and the own
'efs ascertained. The work will require
a considerable force Of cruisers, and
perhaps sixty days time. II IS believed
tlldt the assessment has been far too low
heretofore, or rather. too carelessly made,
and that an important increase will be
secured to the tax duplicate by the new
assessments. Certain it is that Maj. Ruffee
and Capt. Seelye will make the work
thorough aud complete. Cass county

1913 ALLEN street, by four detectives and
inspector Byrnes. Most endeavUred tc
elude the officers by crawling under the
bed Of one OF the. female inmates of the
house, and with whom he is said to
have been long intimate. The detectives
seized the. anarchist a few hours aftel
having located him, and when the
apostle of anarchy was pulled by the
heels from under the bed he presented a
sorry spectacle. His head and face were
covered with dust and dirt, and his eyes
were large with fear. He recovered
however. sufficiently to wave his arm
aloft and shout a demand for liberty fol
the people. He was handcuffed ane
taken to police head quarters, where h.
was locked up. In the house whe Mos1
was arrested were found a Winchestel
repeating rifle with bayonet and book:
upon dynamite bombs and kindred
topics.

was working on the roll-way. and the logs
started suddenly while he was below

make his escape, horribly mutilating his
legs and probably injuring him inter-
nally. He lived only three hours after
the accident. He had lived in Crow
Wing county. much of the time in this
city, during the past two years, and had
many acquai ntances. He had brother
living at Crow Wing, Geo. Hobbs, and
two brothers and one sister at Anoka.
His father lives at Clinton, Maine, and
his mother is not living. He was thirty
two years of age and unmarried. He
was an excellent workman, and was
