PECULIAR PETTY LARCENY CASE

Mary Stewards al allied to Work as Was
Expected OF It
There was peculiar case of petty lar
ceny before Judge Ovens yesterdA Ay.
Mary St~wart was arrested on complaint
Of her employer, Mrs. L. H. Mitchell, for
having taken a number of trinkets with
her when she left her employ, amounting
altogether TO two or three dollars in value.
She admitted having tgken the things, and
explained to the IN tgi istrate that she made
wav with 'hem simply to get even with her
employer for not paying her fair wage
for her lab ". she not position in her
house, she said, through an employment
agency. and after WORKING hard all day
Was rewarded with tender of rs cents
and discharged on the ground That the
former do onestic was going to return.
His honor did not think that such treat
ment, though apparently unjust, warranted
her in committing theft. and he accord
ingly senenced her to pay a fine of $40
or serve term OF twenty days in The city
Jail.

SERIo.COMIc CASE OF BATTERY Ms
L. B. Cohn Mistakes Innocent Han for q
Eootpad


L. B. Cohn was arrested yesterday and
charged with battering a man named
Locker. The alleged battery occurred on
the 31st of December. when Cohn was re-
turning to his residence at the corner of
Ninth and Georgia Bell streets and met
two cement workers who were coming
from work on the sidewalks near by. AS
Mr.. Cohn approtc ed the two separa ed to
allow him pass. Cohn glanced quickly
at each and thought he discovered some-
thing sinister in their appearance. Sizing
the situation up in his own mind he deter
mined that no desperate footpads should
relieve him of his tire asure without a strug-
gle, so grasping his waiking-stick bravely
in his stalwart right, he d ,alt one of them
such blow on the jaw that it stunned him
for moment, while he made good his es-
cape ut a 1O.second gait.
The case will come up in the police court
today, and il is possible that Mr.. Cohu will
rectlfy his mistake in the most graceful
manner possible.

The Agrarian
Laws

Could do no more than the
Herald in its now famous di-
vision of land amongst the peo-
pie, Any person who is now,
or will become a yearly sub
scriber to The Herald, will be
entitled to a lot in The Herald
subdivision in the town of
Lancaster. No additional
charge except S1.00 for notary
fee.
The following letter to the Herald from
the editor of the Lancaster Gazette shows
the character of the lots the Herald Is
giving free to subscribers:
"a good thing-push it along"-the
Herald combination proves to be good
thing. received two more subscriptions
today from those who want the Gazette,
Herald and the Lancaster lot. SO hurry
up that new map. The fact that those
living here desire these lots is sufficient
refutation to the jealous charge of some
newspapers that the lots are worthless,
alkali fake properties. Both lots taken
today are by Lancaster business men and
one of them wishes to improve his lot at
once. Our principal we'll borer was In
my office yesterday. He has put down IL
artesian wells in the last month. He au-
thorzed me to put an advertisement in
my paper that he would secure artesian
flows on the Herald addition to Lancas-
ter at one-half the usual price. He knows
as we all do that the water supply Tor
both surface water and artesian water Is
abundant and easily gotten. A man Of
fered to dig well on one of these lots
for IS AMI take the subscription to the Ga
zette as part pay.
More alfalfa will be put in this season
than was in the valley altogether bfore.
There also will be hundreds of acres set
to fruit trees in the valley this year. The
1900 acres of growing fruit trees are so
healthy and thrifty as to give the greatest
encouragement for future planting. In
another week the work will be begun at
Palmdale according to a contract signed
last week, by which the flood waters Of
Little Rock creek will be stored. The
Coles will push the work and expend
100000 in the system which will bring
several thousand more acres under culti-
walton in that section.
Altogether the future for Antelope Val
ley looks very promising. Yours respect
fully, w. S. MELlCK,

WEST VIRGINIA FLOOD.
Loss of Life and Property Damage
Reported

WHEELING, w. Va, July 6-An-
other waterspout in the interior Of
Ohio and Marshall county this morn
ing caused great loss Of property and
a suspension Of railroad traffic. out of
Wheeling on two railroads. Sunday
night the rain fall in the interior was
very heavy and about 2 o'clock this
morning there was SO much rain that
it approached a cloudburst in volume
The various creeks, including Big and
Little Wheeling creeks, Little Grave
creek, Jim's run on the West Virginia
side of the river and Wheeling creek
Wegoo creek and other tributaries on
the Ohio side, sent out an immense
amount Of water. The water was
speedily out Of banks. Farm houses
were washed from foundations, stock
drowned, growing crops destroyed and
many narrow escapes from death in
the raging waters.
This morning Wheeling creek put
out into the Ohio so furiously that up
bound tow-boats were unable to stem
the tide and had to tie up below the
the city. The Baltimore & Ohio depot
extends over the mouth OF the creek
and was soon seen to be in danger
as the water was carrying away the
foundation Of the pier at the north
side. All cars and property of value
were taken away and people warned
Of the danger. At 11:30 a. M the east
span went down and carried with 1t
the railroad bridge to the west. Fur
ther up the creek, the trestle work Of
the Wheeling Terminal road was car
ried away and J. N. Rosenberg, an
aged contractor, was carried dawn
with the wreck. He was rescued by
spectators.
Twelve miles below the city at
Moundsville, the damage was quite
severe. The steel bridges Of the Ohio
River and Baltimore & Ohio roads were
carried away, the current being so
swift that the Ohio River bridge was
sent to the middle of the Ohio. Up
Little Grove creek, a hotel in the oil
field was carried off its foundations,
but no lives were lost The Ohio River
road is now using steamboat between
Wheeling and Moundsville for handling
its passenger traffic, trains for the
South standing at the latter points.
The B. o& o. is blocked from Wheeling
to Grafton, and is sending its East
bound passenger trains by way OF
Pittsburg
On Pipe creek, In Ohio, opposite
Moundsville, two persons lost their
lives. The home of John Berry was
washed down the creek into the river
and Mrs. Berry and a daughter were
drowned. Mr.. Berry had a narrow es-
cape. Information was received late
tonight Of another fatality. The eight
year-old daughter of Porter Richie.
living on Turkey Run, was drowned
early this morning. The house was
swept away and the child was caught
In the wreckage and killed.

Texas Sound Money Democrats De-
'' clare Themselves.


clare Themselves.
CHICAGO, July 6.-The contesting
delegation from Texas, representing
the gold contingent in that state, de-
cided by full vote, this morning, not
to apply for admission to the conven-
ton. The delegation issued an address.
in declaring its intention, in part as
follows:
1--WE desire to say to all true and
loyal Democrats here assembled from
the several states, that we represent
more than one hundred thousand
Democrats, whose patriotism will not
tolerate the degradation of our national
honor and whose sense of honor and
of humanity can never palliate the
destruction of individual credit nor the
sacrifice, of the dearest interests of
millions of our countrymen. We are
here to contribute as best we may, to
the. preservation and advancement of
true Democratic principles, the per-
petuation of party existence and the
upholding of the honor and credit of
our common country.
We desire to say further, that the
question of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver by this government alone,
at the ratio of 16 to l, has already
passed beyond the domain of argu-
ment, and that our Democratic
brethren of the United States may pre-
pare themselves for the adoption by
the convention of most extreme views,
upon this question Upon this assump-
ton, which we know to be correct we
suggest that it is the duty of Demo-
Gratis, in this crisis, to take measures
for the preservation of the party, so
that its principles may not perish from
the earth. Acquiescence in the heresies
about to be foisted upon the party can
only promote It's destruction. If we
would preserve it, we must come out
from among those who have wandered
off after strange gods and who have
even forgotten the moral law in their
insane eagerness to reach out and
grasp an unsubstantial mirage whose
fanciful promises, If carried into effect
must lead to the disgrace Of the nation
and the utter destruction of the ma
terial interests of the people.
I'VE therefore suggest that the repre-
sentatives of honest Democracy here
assembled from the several states, take
immediate action looking to the pre-
servation of our party from the in
evitable destruction now imminent, in
order that its glorious principles may
still live and continue to bless the peo-
pie of these United States. The exigen-
cieS of the situation admit neither of
delay nor attempts at fruitless efforts
for compromise If we would preserve
the party from destruction, we must
act now, unmindful Of personal conse-
quences, and regardless of aught save
devotion to party existence and I'M
selfish fealty to party principles"
