A Razor i'm Her shoe.

Frank Davis, colored, living at 526 Roam
oke street. did not return home to supper
last night as early as usual, but when he
did he found his wife had no supper for him.
1t was pay day with him, and his wife ac>
cused him of spending his money on other
women and threatened to hunt up a man
who would furnish her with needed capital
This angered Davis and he struck her. The
woman pulled a razor out of her shoe and
slashed her husband across the face. She
was knocked down in turn and jumped up
in time to slash him again across the muscle
of the right arm. Patrolmen Gibin and
Milan arrested the woman and charged her
with assault and battery with intent to kill.
Davis was taken to the City Dispensary by
Patrolmen Weible and Bolen and afterward
locked up on a charge of plain assault. The
cut in the arm was a serious one.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, OCT. 23.-Tacked
on bulletin board next to the postoffice
this morning was circular printed in red.
1t was ornamented with a picture of a
hearse, skull and cross bones and a bloody
heart. 1t purported to be a copy of the
ante-room obligation of the Window glass
Cutters and Flatteners' League, and it
gave the alleged blood-curdling oaths ad-
ministered to members of that organization.
The sheet was headed, 1.-THE Modern Molly
Maguires." The evident intent of the pos
ter was to hurt the cutters and hatteners
in the estimation of the public At the
side of the circular was posted a sheet in
which was written in French, translation
OF which is: The oath which Larmoreox
has made and the devil was with him when
he took it, Amen"
After the poster had been up some time
1t was taken down and under the cutters
oath was tackled: above is the dying gasp
OF the blowers and gatherers.'
Fully thousand people read the notices.
as 1t caused a great deal of excitement, and
constant stream of people was coming
and going from the bulletin board all day
long. The whole thing shows that a most
intensely bitter feeling exists between the
factions, and that the prospects of their
coming together are growing DINNER every
day.
