Buck Powell Attacks His Wife with
"BIood In His Eye"

Wednesday afternoon Buck Pow
ell, OF Martinsburg, got loaded up
with bad whiskey and went out on a
blood hunting expedition. While
wandering around the town he no.
ticed that he was near his home,
and, arming himself with an AK,
he went into the house to interview
his vile. He didn't locate her for
some time and when he did he at
tackled her with the ak uplifted and
blood in his eye. He struck her
twice with the AK, not exactly where
Farmer Jones struck the chicken,
nor. with the same part of the instru-
ment of death. Mrs. Powell eseap-
ed from her murderous helpmate
before he inflicted any injury, how
ever, and before he could renew the
attack two men, Ed. and Lew Hays,
who board at the house, came to
the rescue. Powell warned them to
keep away from him and emphasiz,
ed it by lifting up his ak. Finally,
however, Powell dropped his AK and
shot out throught the door, evidently
with the intention of lowering the
half mile sprinting record.
Powell was finally captured by
City Marshal Interpreter and brought
to this city where he was assigned
to cozy cell by Deputy Sheriff
Stephens. There he will languish
and bemoan his fate until the grand
jury says whether or not he is gull
ty of the charge of assault to kill.

Strange Phenomena.
From the CentraIia Guard.

A number of extraordinary and
inexplicable phenomena have been
reported since the present drouth
commenced, which would seem in
credible were it not that reputable
eye-witnesses testify to the truth of
the statements. Some time since, a
certain portion of LongBranch creek,
which had been dry for months, sud
denly filed with water from some
mysterious reservoir. Next we hear
of creek near Columbia running
between rocky banks but long since
dry which recently became a flow
ing stream, and furnished an abun.
dant crop of ice. And now it is re-
ported that the branch near John
Fountains, north OF town, has sud.
denly became flowing stream, latter
being dry for long time. Down
near Mexico we learn that a farmer
recently dug a we'll fifty feet deel
and struck such strong vein tina,
the water is flowing over the top
Robert Gray, a farmer living north
east of here, had a pond long since
dry. and recently he dug hole il
the center about eight feet deep anc
struck water, which filled not only
the well but the pond also, and hi
now has an abundance of stool
water. Singular as all these things
appear, there can be no question
but that these curious phenomen;
have occurred.

OF course. the Carnegie Company is
entitled to a fair investigation. But II
the charges alleged against them and
their supposed accomplices in armor-
plate frauds are true, no penalty that
can be imposed upon them will be too
severe.
1t Is now asserted that the projectilets
used In the test OF the plates were by
collision made brittle, SO that the Car
negie plates might seem unusually
strong, while other defective plates were
supplied which could not stand the test.
The deeper the inquiry goes the more
startling are the allegations of IA base
and reasonable conspiracy to defraud
the Government. and that by men upon
whom especial favors and protection
have been lavished. both by the Govern
ment and the courts. 1t Is necessary
that this monstrous scandal should be
sifted to the very foundation.
