ELM GROVE EXCITED
Over the Alleged Arrest and Cruel Treat
ment of Leonard Vo6E.

ment of Leonard NosE.
An arrest which caused intense ex-
element for while among the people
of Elm Grove was made there last night
by Constable Anderson. Leonard Vogg
had given Anderson a bill to collect
for him. Last night they met and
talked about the bill, the result Of
the conversation being Vogg's arrest.
1t is said that Vogg talked rather sharp
~ to Anderson, who for no other cause
arrested him aud took him before Ankle
The Justice fined him s. and costs and
sent him in to Wheeling JAIL Vogg, 1t
is alleged, was rather roughly handled,
aud is said to have been severely
dubbed.
Neither Anderson nor Ankle could be
found last night TO tell their side OF the
story, but there must have been some
reason for imposing the fine. One of
Voggs' friends is reported to have Of
fered to go on his bond for $500, if ne
| ceSsary, but this was not accepted.
The people Of Elm Greve are very in
! dignant at what they consider the
cruel and unnecessary treatment and
| arrest of Vogg, who Is quiet, peacea-
bic citizen, and a number Of them have
called an Indignation meeting to de-
nounce Anderson and see what can be
done toward securing his removal. The
call for the meeting is as follows:
