An Inquiry and n Protest
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
I would like to inquire Of the Prose
cutting Agent through your valuable
columns If at Morris Cove there is any
law or liquor license. Sunday. June o.
the thirsty crowds that visited the
Cove and vicinity must have more than
had their thirst quenched, for from
four different bars the beverages were
dispensed as fast as they could be han
died. Even the boarding houses are
commencing to peddle out lager beer.
Two more places viii be opened from
where the cars stop to the Lighthouse
Point this month, and the residents
have to put up with the insults and
injury to property that a mob filled
with beer feel disposed to offer. We
ask II this thing and baseball Sunday
must be permitted that these places
be compelled to obtain a license and
live and close their places at q season.
able hour and on one day in the week
those that are compelled to live there
may have one day of rest and quiet
when the crowds that come there may
come and go clothed in their right
minds and property not to be mutilated
by people fired up by beer and other
intoxieants. We ask that the license
law be enforced and that will give us
one day of rest at our homes, or else
let us at the next election come to the
polls and put men there who will en-
force the law. Where Is our Law and
Order league? If you have finished
your good work in New Haven come
to- the Cove next Sunday and you will
find work enough to last your order
for few days.

minister to young lady. daughter Of a

in this and other Scotch parishes for the
minister to bow to the 1aird's pew be-

occasion the pew contained a bevy Of
ladies, and the minister feeling a deli

Potlatch, caused the arrest of one
Robert Owings, charging him with
attempted murder, says the Moscow
Mirror. 1t appeared from the evil
dence of the prosecution that Ow-
ings had gone to Oylear's house
about midnight and fired several
times with Winchester at Oylear,
who returned the fire with pistol.
The case occupied five days in the
probate court and the defense de-
MED firing the shots aud proved by
several witnesses that he was at
home on the night the shooting was
done. On Wednesday the young
man whom the defense charged
with doing the shooting appeared
on the scene and offered to go on
the stand and admit that he fired
the shots at the time stated, but
that he did not shoot at Mr.. Oylear,
but at his dog, which ran out at
him on the road, Owings was dis.

the evidence for the prosecution be-

UNDER A TON OF DIRT.

Prof H. l.. Plummer of Colfax
College, and C. w. Swanson, one of
the students. met with an accident
Saturday afternoon last that was a
narrow enough escape from death
to satisfy the most venturesome,
saws the Gazette. A new cellar had
been dug in the dirt bank at the
southwest corner of the college
building. The excavation was
about 12x14 feet in size and eight
feet in height. Above the roof of
the cellar there was about three feet
of dirt. Saturday afternoon Prof.
Plummer, assisted by Geo. Smith,
C. w. Swanson, J. c. Morgan and
Guy Zumwalt, students at the coll
eye, undertook to put in the frame
work. Part Of the frame had been
put in place, when about three
o'clock the roof Of the cellar caved
in. At the time Prof. Plummer and
Swanson were we'll within the eel
lar, while Zumwalt was standing
outside, the outher two being near
the entrance. Plummer and Swan
son were entirely covered by the
dirt, Morgan and Smith were
knocked down and partly covered,
the former being rendered uncon-
scious for a few minutes, while the
force of the falling earth knocked
Zumwalt fiat. Smith extricated
himself with little difficulty and
Joined by Zumwalt began the work
of extricating their companions.
Morgan regaining consciousness
Joined in the work.
All the tools had been buried IN
the cave, but the deficiency was
quickly supplied and Prof. Plum,
mer and Swanson were unearthed
in less than ten minutes of the cave
occurring. Both were found seated
on the floor of the cellar, each with
his head pressed down on the ground
between his feet Each was uncon-
scious, although the latter was soon
brought around. At first it was
feared that Prof. Plummer had been
fatally injured, but examination by
physicians disclosed no dangerous
Injuries. It was found that he had
sustained a severe sprain Of the
spine and that the ribs on the left
side had been jammed. At last ac-
counts Prof. Plummer was resting
easy, and it is thought he will be
out in another week.

DARING ROBBERY
AT EARLY dawn.
BURGLARS BLOW OPEN A SAFE
WITH DYNAMITE AND TAKE
COIN AND JEWELS.
FOUR MEN DID THE WORK.
They ENTER THE BUTTERWoRTH
STAINED-GLAss WORKS ON
TENTH STREET.

The stained-glass works of Thomas But
terworth, at 213 Tenth street, near Howard,
was broken into by robbers between and
5 o'clock on Wednesday morning last, the
office safe was blown open with dynamite
and $500 in coin and jewelry was stolen.
The case was reported at police head
quarters and, though the machinery of
the department was at once set in motion,
not the slightest clew to the robbers has
been found. There were four men, it is
thought, in the gang, and the job was
neatly and quietly executed.
On Tuesday afternoon an elderly gentle
man of solid and respectable appearance
called at the office of the mandatory and
engaged the clerk, Mr.. Butterworth being
absent from the city on business, in con-
versation relative to the construction of a
building, which the stranger said he in
tended erecting on the vacant lot ad joining
the Butterworth building. He thought it
possible that the driveway separating the
lots might be made to serve his purpose, If
satisfactory arrangements could be made
with Mr.. Butterwortn. He went away
after promising TO return, first taking a
walk through the glass works and appar-
emily interesting himself In the workings
of the concern.
The suspicious of the clerk were aroused
by the incident, as he knew that the lot
was not the property of the stranger. He
had also been thrown on his guard by the
visit on Monday of two picious-looking
fellows on pretense of wanting work, and a
third on the day preceding the robbery.
SO that night he told the Waterman on the
block to keep an especially sharp eye on
the glass works, but while that functionary
was making the rounds between the hours
named, he having to take in the cable
house and other places some distance away,
the robbery was committed.
1t is thought the men who had visited
the works on Monday and Tuesday COM
mitted the robbery. Entrance was gained
to the building through a window at the
side. A hole was drilled into the safe at
the combination and the dynamite APP
piled.
Mr.. Butterworth placed his wifes jewels,
which are valued at $500, in the safe, as he
thought them in danger of being stolen at
his house. He very much regrets his loss.
Papers, books and other contents of the
safe were scattered about the floor and the
office was generally upset.
