BROTHERS ESCAPED

Walter j. ana Frank II. Chattcrton,
brothers, and weii-drcssed young men, Were
in Judge Miller's court this forenoon cn
the charge of affray, preferred by First
precinct policeman, who testified that he
found the defendants and Frede rick Stew
ar, and Bernard Harding, engaged in n
general fight at the corner Of Ninth and d
streets last night. The fight, he under
stood, originated over Il game CT rCol, in
nearby poolroom.
When the IollCt man arrived on the scene
he found Stewart unconscious on the side
walk and the brothers battling with Hard
ing. The entire quartet were locked up,
and later gave SO collateral. The Chat
icrious were the only ones of the quartet
in court this morning.

a row. The proprietor of the poOlropm in

Then Harding jumped in to help Stewart
and my brother, seeing the odds, came 10
my rescue
The witness said he was not resident OF
| this city, but came here two days ago from
Cleveland, Ohio.
The brother gave substantially the same
testimony and added that the two defend
ants who had forfeited their collateral
had the reputation OF being fighters, and
hailed from Baltimore. Judge Miller said
he was in doubt as to who really started the
fight and dismissed the case.

FLAT TROLLEY WHEELS.
A Wheel Travels Only n Small Dis
tance Before Replaced.
p.nnrl

Nearly everyone has noticed the dis
agreeable humping sound sometimes made
by the trolley cars, and have wondered
what caused it. The trolley company is
as much annoyed by this sound as the
public, since il means TO them an outlay
for a new pair of wheels. When wheel
once becomes fiat at any point, however
slight, generally caused by the skiddinS
or sliding of the wheel along the track,
due to a sudden application OF the brakes
the wheel is worn flat, aud afterward.
whenever there is a tendency to skid, 1t
naturally takes place at the point whlch
is already flat, until at last the wheel Is
worn so fiat that it causes the humping
sound referred to. The average life or
trolley street car wheels shows that. they
travel a distance of about 1000 miles, or
somewhat less than once around the
earth at the equator before they are re-
placed. The flattcning of the wheels Is
the most frequent cause Of the rene wal
OF car wheels, although occasionally the y
are replaced because OF broken flauges or
bent axles.

Attorneys for Jackson and Wa1linR
WILL PreSent a Starfling Theory

Cincinnati. Ohio, April lit has Just de-
veloped that the attorneys for Jackson
and walling intend TO spring a sensation
when their trial comes up on April =.
1t is said they have gathered evidence
that neither of their clients was the real
murderer of Pearl Bryan and that they in
tend to show that she died while in the
hands of a certain physician and while
under the influence of drugs; that neither
Jackson nor walling was present at the
time. but were sent for by the physician
and threatened with exposure unless they
would at once dispose of the body.
It Is also said that Jackson threatened
TO involve the physician who was the
operator. and that the three joined in the
afterward proceedings. Jackson and Wall
ing's attorneys will also try to show that
Pearl Bryan was dead when decapitated.
