BUTLER BOY IN TROUBLE.
Charged With Assault to Commit Rape

A. L. Graves, a young attorney of
Butler, was arrested at Foster Sat
urday morning on charge of assault
with intent to commit rape on the
person of Miss Ella Vincent, of that
town. He gave bond in the sum of
$500 to appear for trial Friday, May
18th, 1889. From what we can learn,
the facts are about as follows: In
company with J. W. Badger, who is
attorney for the Aultman 4 Taylor
Co, and was on business for that
company, Mr.. Graves went to Fos-
ter Friday evening in buggy and
the two stopped for the night at
Capt. Vincent's boarding house. In
the evening Mr.. Graves and Miss
Vincent took a ride. Later in the
evening he returned to the boarding
house alone, and failed or refused to
satisfactorily explain the young
ladys absence. Considerable excite
ment was raised and party was or
ganized and went in search of the
girl, but failed to find her. The
rumor was then started that she had
been murdered and excitement ran
high, and Mr.. Graves was arrested
on states warrant charging him
with murder. About this time Miss
Vincent came in with Mr.. Bopp, a
farmer living near Foster. She claim
ed that Mr. Graves had made i'm
proper proposals to her and to es-
cape him she jumped from the bug
gy, when he shot at her with revol.
Yer. She went to Mr.. Bopp's and
remained over night. Mr.. Graves
disclaims any intention of shooting
the young lady, but said after she
jumped from the buggy he drove
some little distance, and reaching
under the buggy seat for some pur.
pose found the pistol, the first he
knew it was there. He fired the
pistol straight up in the air. The
team took fright and ran short dis
tance when he turned them and
went back to look for the girl. Not
finding her and thinking she had
probably gone to neighbors, he re-
turned to Foster. After the young
ladys return Mr.. Graves was dis
charged and re- arrested on the above
charge. Mr.. Badger was arrested
Saturday morning for carrying con
cealed weapons, and the date of his
trial fixed for Friday. the same date
OF Mr. Graves.

Now that there will be quite a
building boom i'll this city this
spring, suggestion from us to the
projectors may not be amiss or con-
sidered meddling. First, give the
contracts for the carpenter, brick,
stone and plastering to home me-
chanics. Second, Butler has as good
workmen as any town of its size in
the state, and they will do the work
right and reasonable. Third, by
giving the home mechanics the
work, the money thus spent will be
kept at home and handed back to the
business men of the city. The TINES
advocates the above plan because
it believes in supporting home labor.
We can't expect to build up our
town by forcing our mechanics to
leeve the city to hunt work; we
should therefore all feel a common
interest in the welfare of one anoth-
of,

A HERO OF THE ALAMO.
Origin of the Bowie Knife and How 1t
Looked.
Some Interesting Facts Concerning James
Bowie-How He Tanned Desperate
and Joined in the Doxology.
washington Herald.


: am glad to see that the attempt made
in Texas to raise funds for the erection of
q suitable monument to Coils. David
Crockett and Bowie, and the other brave
men who were treacherously killed in the
defense of the Alamo, March 6, 1886, has
been successful. A Drawer deed than
that defense does not live in the annals
of American history. Of Crockett much
has been written, and but little of James
Bowie, who was one of the most wonder
full men of his day. The best account [
have ever heard was related by Governor
James Madison Wells of Louisiana re-
turning board fame. He knew Bowie
intimately in his younger days, and was
present with his brother, Col. jeff Wells
of Rapids parish, La. at one of the
most brilliant fights of Bowels life,
which took place on Natohez island, al
most opposite Natchez, Miss, in 1927.
Governor Wells account of the origin of
the world-famed knife called after
Bowie is most interesting.
''In 1926 James Bowie was large
owner Of claims to Spanish grants OF
. land, - said Governor Wells, and as
many of them were then occupied by
planters, who had TO be elected before
he could get possession, Bowie was con-
stantly in danger of his life. He was a
small man, not weighing more than one
hundred and fifty pounds, i've feet seven
and one-half inches in height, but of
wonderful physical strength, and as
1.-the and quick as panther. At the
time he was.living with his brother Ste
! phen in Louisiana on plantation stu
ated on the dividing line between the
/ parishes of Lafourshe and Assumptio9s
! Tear them there vas a blacksmtAfand
f7workeI,tEn iron and steel of great skill
L He wass0f Spanish or Portuguese blood
and had been, according to local rumor,
| one of Laftte's crew of pirates. The
! pistols of that day were. not as accurate
| or sure of fire dis they are now. They
