WILL THEY ENDORSE?
A Democratic Party Paper Urges an En-.
dorsemcnt OF o Republican for Judge.


Editor Boyd, of the News-Dealer, IL
heartily in favor of an endorsement Of
the Republican candidate for judge by
the Democratic party, but whether the
bosses of the coming Democratic con-
vention will think the same or not is a
question. 1t would be but fair In the
Democracy to endorse a Republican
Judge in return for the four endorse
ments which the Republicans of this
county have given the Democratic
nominees for Judge, in order to keep the
Judiciary non-partisan. Mr.. Boyd says:
Sensible Democrats all agree with the
stand taken by the News-Dealer
against the nomination Of Democra-
tic Judge by the county convention.
That some gentlemen have judicial am.
bition, and are anxious to fill place OF
that kind hasn't got anything to do
with the question. 1t is simply one of
good politics and good politics Is
against any nomination. The plain
matter OF fact voting people will rea-
son, II the Democrats have now two
Judges. why should a third be given
them. Better far for the party In every
respect, and for the people as well that
q Republican be placed on the bench
now adorned by Messrs. Woodward
and Lynch in preference to Dem
ocrat.
The NewsDealer man has q good
political head. He knows that the or.
gumsnt Of non-partisan judiciary 10
one orthe most patent that can be ad-
vanced, and he also knows that It
would be far better for the Democratic
party to endorse a Republican Judge,
than to put up candidate against the
Republican nominee and have that can
didate beaten at the polls. But then,
Mr.. Boyd's ideas are not the ideas Of
Mr.. Garman, who will, in the absence Of
John \. Lenahan, probably be in charge

polandsr.
Late Tuesday night Andrew Umlah.
a Polander. stopped In front Of the resi-
dence OF John A. Mills. u well known
resident Of Mclean street. and made a
number OF insulting remarks. Mr.
Mills came out to drive him away.
when the latter drew a knife and made
an attack on Mills. stabbing him five
times before he could get away. The
Injuries were In the shoulders. and one
In the side under the ribs. The last Is
the only one that may be dangerous.
DIR. Trapold was at once called In to
see Mills. he pronounced his injuries
comparatively slight. The physician
says that Mills will recover II no COM
plications set in.
Umlah. In the meantime. had been
arrested. and offered no resistance
when he was taken to the lookup.
Yesterday morning he was given a
hearing before the mayor. and he
claimed that Mills had made an at
tack on him and he had only used
his knife to defend himself. Mayor
Nichols held Umlah in $1,000 bail for
appearance at court. The unfortunate
Polander had no one willing to risk
that sum on his turning up at court.
and in default Of the ball he was sent
up the river to await his trial.

BEFORE THE MAYOR.
Joseph Bakers Wife Assists His Honor In
Furnishing Her Husband.

James Meehan. commonly known as
"Uncle" Meehan. and Mike Welch were
given hearing by Mayor Nichols yes
terday morning charged with robbing
an old man named William Muer Of $50.
The bill was found on Meehan and he
was held in $500 bait for court, and
Welch in 800 bail as an accomplice.
Joseph Baker, a Polander employed
at the Hazard Rope works. was before
the mayor on a charge of assault and
battery. preferred by a Polish woman
who lives near him. Joseph had been
drunk. and the prosecutriX presented
enough evidence to warrant the mayor
imposing fine of 81 and costs. Jo-
seph's wife was present and told the
mayor she had but 50, which she gave
up. and her husband was allowed to
depart. AS the couple went out of the
court room the wife soundly berated
her husband for getting into trouble,
and with an umbrella belabored him
fiercely for his bad conduct. Joseph
took his punishment meekly and
seemed to feel that there might be some
grounds for the wrath Of his better
half.
