THE cUTLAsS AND REVOLVER USED.

lHE OUTLAWS AND hENOLNEh CSED'
The Captains version is altogether
different, and is backed up by the
stories OF u number OF witnesses.
Captain Golding says that he had
taken extra precautions to guard his
house against thieves, which gentry he
had been informed were abroad in the
ncighborhaod. His son, about eight
o'clock i'll the evening, heard noises in
the rear yard, and taking his revolver
he went out Just in time to see man
disappear over the back fence. He fired
the only sho. ia his revolver and raised
n great row to brighten the supposed
tlliei. When the excitement attending
this incident subsidized the family re-
entered the house and prepared Tor bed,
but their imGgiHNtiuns were running
riot, and when lew hovrs later they
we're aroused by Mott ringing the bell
md kicking Mt the door, they thought
the house was besieged by burglars.
Taking his cutlaSs, II relic Of his war
time days, the old man opened the door
and found Mott, who was not in uniform,
but who announced himself us Il police
man, and AUid he had q search warrant
for stolen horse.
Captain Golding says he kept Mott at
n distance with the cutluss and de-
manded proof that he was policeman,
whercupon Mott called attention to the
star OF his brsast, but It was so d:mmed
by mist that :he inscription was iileGi-,
bic, and :ht captain thought 1t was m
imitation s,ar which, 10 his way OF think.

Wishing 20 be certain, he reached for
ward and Touched the star, intending
to draw Not: nearer 50 that he could
read Tue inscription il there was any.
Mott, however, wrencleG himself back
wards and sho star was torn from his
coat. This s"tion on the part OF Mott
was io the mind of Golding conclusive
proof that q thief confronted him, and
brnudiS!liug the cutlass he shouted:
"KGep away from me; you're not n
policeman, you're a thief"
~ am an officer" replied Mott. "and
ii you say the word, I'll whistle for
another officer"
"Do so, said Golding.
Whereupon Mott produced his whistle
and gave it to Golding with request

the whistle and blew Justify. While he
was pounding the whistle Mott grasped
him by the throat and struck him over
the right side OF the head with his club.
At that instant Golding, Jr., appeared,
furnishing large revolver, and with
the cry, ppm with you, pa" seized
Mott.
While they were struggling Police
man Brown ran up the three or four
steps leading to the porch. and seizing
Mrs GoldinS, who had grasped Motifs
coattails, he threw her aside and stood

Young Golding had traded for horse
and IL was this horse which was alleged
to have been stolen.
The Wheeling relatives OF Captain
Golding have received letters from
members OF the family intimating that
whether lie dies or RECEIVERS, n heavy
damage suit will be brought against the
city.

Mrs. Burt Mayors, who lives on the
hill just east Of Moundsville, had u
peculiar experience on the Fourth. A
inan called at her home and asked for
her husband In some way she got the
idea that the stranger meant mischief,
and after pretending that Mr.. Mayors
was home, she went out, ostensibly to
call him. She was terribly frightened,
and catching up her two children ran
down q deep hollow and up n
steep hill to a cliff OF rocks. Here
she found Il large hole under the rocks
and into it she crowded her children
and herself, and lay there until they
were found late in the day. She was so
i'll that the doctor was called to see her.
and her nerves are yet quite shattered.

ing married n sister Of Mrs. Michael
Reilly, Mrs. John r. Miller and Mcssrs.
Frank and William II. Stanberry, ofthis
city, and is known bymany people here,
the story has u good deal Of local inter
est. Captain Golding was an ensign in
the U. s. navy in the late war, and
served with distinction. He was after
wards Tor n long time Captain OF Pacific
line passenger steamers. Mr.. Gus stan
berry, the third brother OF Mrs. Gold
ing, was present when the shooting &C.
Cured.
Following is the official statement OF
the police side OF the controversy that
has arisen over the shooting:
Captain ". y, Dougid@-DEAR Sir: At
II rs last evening Clement. La Combe
came to the station and said that he
had sworn out warrant for John Doe
for horse stealing, and that he had 10.
Gated the party. Officer Knott said he
knew that warrant had been sworn
out, SO detailed him to make the ar
rest. On arriving Mt the house OF Cap
tain Thomas Golding, Coz Turk street,
where the party was supposed to be, he
rang the bell. Mr.. Golding answered
the bell, having in his hand u large
sword, and said to Knott, who are
youY Knott answered, 4 am an officer,
ut the same time showing his star.
Golding then said, you are Il -
- at the same time pulling the star
from his (Knott'sD breast and throwing
it into the hall; then taking him by the
collar and holding him with the
sword suspended over his head. The
son then put in an appearance armed
with two pistols. One he pointed at
Knott, at the same time firing, the ball
making slight abrasion on Knots
forehead. Al that Officer Brown, who
had accompanied Knott, put in an APP
pearance and grappled with the son,
endcayoring to disarm him. In doing
30 the pistol was discharged, one shot
striking Brown in the leg, making Il
slight wound. Officer Melee then put
in nm appearance in full uniform, and
in attempting to assist Knott and
Brown, he was struck by one OF the
marty. Officers Gould, McArdle and
McGinnis then arrived and succeeded
in arresting four men and one woman,
She striking Knott over the head with

that Mr.. Golding was shot. The officers
saw that they did not fire shot. Re

Mr.. Charles Seibert is very indignant
ut the way the Elm Grove Railroad Com
pany has been treating his patrons by
not stopping at his garden both going
and coming. On the night OF the
Fourth there were Mt least 500 people
left to walk home. After running two
sections from early morning until
o'clock, every car full, they attempted
to bring them all in without running
after the regular hour. OF course it is
simply impossible to bring as many
back in four hours us they take out in
twelve hours. Mr.. Seibert also spoke
to Mr. Chilean on Thursday, asking
him how late he was going to run the
motors, the reply being that he did not
know, but until they were all in.

WAS IT AN ACCIDENT?
An italian Woman shot In tho Leg ATystel
1nualv

An italian Woman shot In tho Leg AIyster-
iOusly.
Sunday night an Italian woman who
keeps boarding and lodging house for
her countrymen on Main street south
OF Twenty-frst, was shot in the leg and
painfully but not dangerously wounded.
The woman's name is given in about
four different ways by the Italians.
The shot was fired shortly after ten
o'clock. Officers Wilkie and Donley
were near. and went into the house.
DR.. Taylor was summoned and dressed
the wound. There was a good deal OF
jabbering in Italian, but to the physi-
clan and officers the woman and several
men who were present told tho same
story-that the pistol was under n
pillow, and the woman in jerking a
sheet from the bed pulled the weapon
off, and in striking the floor it was dis
charged, tho ball striking her leg.
From the fact that the ball ranged
downward and not up, and the sus-
picious way in which the people acted,
both DR.. Taylor and the officers believe
the woman was shot by one OF the men,
though perhaps not Intentionally. Not
enough evidence could be obtained to
justify IN arrest.

The system OF using spring poles on
the electric cars, insteadof rope trolleys,
will soon be tried on tho Benwood ex-
tension of the street railway. A lot OF
the poles arrived yesterday. The over
head cables will have to be reversed, as
the upper side Of the wires are worn
considerably. It is not knQwn how
long u time Will elapse before the new
system will be established. In case the
pole principle works well on this line,
the conductors on the Ben wood end
will nc relieved OF the labor and annoy
ance OF taking down trolleys to enable
cars to pass on the switches. A rope is
attached to the pole and is sprung down
and out OF the way.

Yours gratefully,

09S Michigan avenue,

Postmaster Cowden has also received
several letters and kilograms OF inquiry
about the concern.
The indictments against the Fratern-
ity's officers have never been seen by
anybody but the court officers at Par
kersburg, but it was learned yesterday
that the technical charge is conspiracy
to defraud by use OF the mails.
The Cleveland Leader has the follow
ing in an account OF the arrest OF New
elf:
"NIajor f. II. Eegleston received a
dispatch last night telling OF tho action
OF the government. lie thinks the man
called Newell is the person who person
ated tile supreme treasurer. Mr.. Eg-
glcston's message conveyed the infor-
nation that incoming checks issued by
tho Fraternity were being protested ut
the Exchange Bank Thursday morn
ing the swindlers issued circular
stating that they had suspended pay
ment on account OF all their money be-
ing tied up by the suit OF the Cleveland
parties. As was stated yesterday in the
Leader, however, the amount attached
by Major Eggleston was only $4,000,
and at that time there was $4,000 to
the Fraternity's credit. The fact that
checks are now being protested leads to
the supposition that on their fight
from Wheeling Chambers and theother
fellows have not gone emptyhandcd.
They probably drew out all the money
over and above the amount attached by
Mr.. Eggleston and are now trying to
escape with their plumber"
Mr.. +. j. Angle, OF Towanda, Pa,
came here Sunday night to see the Su-
preme gang OF the "Fyat-Fi-Cop" He
put up at the Windsor, and yesterday
he called on the gentleman in charge.
He come back to the hotel looking
cheerful, and remarked that he found
out all he wanted to know and got all
he came after. "There is plenty of
money to satisfy my claim" he re-
marked. Just what he meant by this
he declined to explain.
Yesterday the local postal officials
received the following telegram from
Washington City:
Awaiting ruling of Assistant Attor-
ney General, you will withhold all reg
istered letters and money orders for

A DAY OF MOURNING,


Impressive Funeral Services at Napa Bust
ness Generally Suspended.
NAPA, Feb. 12.-To-day has indeed been
a day of mourning in Napa. The funeral
Of the late Dr. E. T. wilkins was held at 1
o'clock in Christ Episcopal Church, where
Ex-Governor Perkins delivered a most elo-
quent eulogy on the life of the dead physi-
clan. The church could not nearly hold the
great crowd which gathered, and the COM
pany following the remains to Tulucay
Cemetery was more than mile in length
and included delegations of Mas0ns and
Odd Fellows on foot. All the business
houses were closed throughout the city.
Immediately folio wing this was the
funeral of Mrs. Greenwood, the victim of
the awful tragedy at SuscOl. This was held
from the Presbyterian Church at 2:30
o'clock. The esteem in which the lady was
held and the deep sympathy for Mr.. Green
wood was manifest in the great company of
friends who assembled to pay their last re-
spects. While the church is large, many
who came were not able to gain entrance.
Rev. Rirhard Wylie, pastor of the church,
oif lated, and the remains were buried in
Tuocay Cemetery.
Nothing new has been learned to-day re-
garding the murderers, though the Sheriff
has number of deputies at work.
