TO KEEP THE PEACE.
A Young Man Put Under Bond of
Fifty Dollars.

A Young Man Put Under Bond of
Fifty Dollars.
The case of Samuel Crapp, charged
with assaulting NJ. f. Morris, was tried
before Mayor Evans yesterday morning
Morris stated that he wished Crapp
put under bond to keep the peace for
twelve months. He did not wish to go
into the details of the case on account
OF the parties.
He said Crapp had been seeking his
life from place to place. 1t was not
openly. He was afraid of being assasi-
mated in the dark
Mr.. Crapp said that Morris had in
suited some ladies at his boarding
house. He accosted him about such
conduct and seized him by the throat.
Morris came to his office later and
wanted to o'ogize.
Mr.. Drgerle, at whose house Morris
boarded, said Morris had been drinking
and acted like crazy man. lilo had
ordered him to leave the place. He
knew nothing of Mr.. Crapp assaulting
him.
Morris still insisted that he was
afraid of Crapp, and made oath to that
effect, and the latter was put under a
$50 bond to keep the peace.

personal interviews With Mr.. Henry
4. Oxnard, the head OF the great beet
sugar company, at Grand Island. Ne
braska, and no is confident that the
beet sugar industry will solve the agri-
cultural problem of the great arid bolt
of the West. He pointed out, too. that
while sugar cane has remained station
airy in its saccharine quality, the sugar
beet has by selection doubled the
amount of sugar it carries within
twenty years, and that it is still adj
vancing.
There is money in making beet sugar
independent of government aid. The
Mckinley bill gives bounty of cents
pound on American sugar. In 1887
there were 200 tons of beet sugar made
ia America; in 1888 it rose to 1900
tons; 1889 saw the figures raised to
5000 tons; this past year will show
$4,000 tons. The COS. of making beet
sugar has been cut from to 3X cents
pound. In France it is made az low as
LIS cents pound, and it will yet be
made in America for that.
The government bounty runs for
fifteen years. Money is most easily
made by striking while the iron is hot.
Why can we not have few beet-sugar
factories in Southwest Virginia? They
would pay immensely.

A FAMILY ROW
In Which Several Members Participated an
Much Blood Was Spilled.

In Which Several Members Participated and
Much Blood Was Spilled.
There was an exciting fight in the Watson
Beasley household, in Ridge street alley, about
O'Clock yesterday morning, which resulted in
the wounding of Allen Watson and his wife,
Charlotte, and Aliens stepson, Squire Beasley.
Besides the large quantity Of blood that was
spilled much noise was made and the whole
neighborhood was aroused. The house is in
the rear of No. 440 N street and is occupied
only by the one family. Charlotte has three
grown children, one son and two daughters,
but they were not at home Saturday night
until late hour. When they arrived they
found that Allen, who was under the influence
Of liquor, had beaten their mother. Squire,
who just recovered from the effects of a shot
in the leg, took his mothers part, and then it
was that the most serious part Of the trouble
occurred. Squire's mothers head was badly
cut and soon after that wound was inflicted
Squire was cut several times by his stepfather,
who had a razor. He was cut about the
shoulder and collar bone, but in the fight he
did not forget to defend himself and one
thing he did in that direction was to strike the
old man on the head and infiict wound which
will make him remember the fight for some
time Officer Trammell Of the second precinct
appeared at the house before the blood had
been cleared away and put an end to the
domestic difficulty by arresting Allen and lock-
ing him up. The lamp which Squire struck
his stepfather with was broken in thousand
pieces, which were scattered on the floor.
Squire and his mother walked all the way to
the Emergency Hospital, where DIR. Hall
dressed their wounds and they then returned
home.
When Judge Miller heard the case this morn
ing and the testimony was given it was shown
that the old woman did the first fighting and
that Watson, who was crowded to the wall,
acted entirely in self defense, and he was
therefore discharged.
