ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
Usual Batch OF Poverty and Other Cases
Were Presented for COnsidera.
tion TO The Board.

Last nights meeting Of the Asso-
ciated Board of Charities was the first
in six weeks, at two previous times the
board falling to assemble because of
some impediment. Mrs. Duggan, the
agent, reported that in the interim 5S
cases had corne under her notice. OF
these AZ were deserved worthy of at
tention.
Among the cases was one of recent
date. Winnie Dunn, 16 years of age,
went to Mrs. Duggan Monday and stat
ed that her father had beaten her in
a most brutal manner. The condition
of the girl was sufficient proof of her
story. Her right arm was bruised and
her head was cut and bleeding. The
girl said her mother is dead and that
she is the only girl in the Dunn house.
She has three brothers and these live
g. miserable life in a small black house
in Bellevue. Jim Dunn, her father,
is the big breasted Democrat who
holds the same relation to Bellevue
politics that Jack Neat did to base ball
a few seasons ago. When Mrs. Dug
gan questioned him concerning the ILL
treatment of the child Dunn said:
We'll l don't see as it's any of your
business how 1 bring up my children"
The girl was given employment as
domestic.
Mrs. Duggan reported the fact that
the city Is infested by gang of juven-
lie thieves, who work under the guise
of boot blacks 1t was suggested that
Mrs. Duggan inform the police of the
pest and secure immediate action.
The action of Mrs. Duggan, of the
West Side, who makes a living raff1ing
off lounges, chickens, hogs, etc, at
25 cents per chance, was called to the
attention of the board. On good au-
thority it was learned that the woman
owns a property at 2025 Price street
Colonel Ripple suggested that the pub
lie, through the press, be warned
against favoring the woman.

In AND ABOUT
THE CITY HALL
Gossip Of Current Affairs at Muuic ;pal
Headquarters.
PLAN FOR THE FIREMEN'S PARADE
Date will Probably BE Deferred Un-
ill October g, the Last Day of the
Firemen's State Convention mt
rrc--Associated Chari-
ties Room May BE Located on the
Second Floor of the City Hall.

An important meeting of Chief Hickey
and the board Of fire engineers will be
held in the near future to determine
the date and other matters in reference
to the approaching annual parade and
inspection of the fire department. A
day during the third week of Septem-
ber had been selected for the parade,
but it has been partly determined to
postpone the display until Oct. 8, the
last day of the state firemen's conven-
tion at Wilkes-Barre. 1t is believed
that a number of the companies at
tending the convention can be prevailed
upon to come here and help give Scran-
ton one of the finest parades of the
kind that has been seen in years.
1t is not proposed, however. to make
the day one for a wholesale and expen-
slve entertainment of visiting fremen.
That would be a pleasant feature, but
is impossible, owing to the fact that
the amount appropriated by councils
is barely sufficient for the needs of the
local department.
At the last meeting of common coun-
Gil Chief Hickey was granted permis-
sion to represent this city at the ma
tional convention of fire chiefs at New
Haven, Conn, Aug. 1921. and the sum
Of $50 was appropriated for his ex-
penses. 1t is now probable that at to-
morrow nights meeting of select coun-
ell an additional 800 will be appro-
priated toward the expenses of Select
man Fred. Durr and Commoner James
Noone. chairmen of the fire department
committees, who, in that event, would
accompany Chief Hickey to the con-
vention.
Both branches of councils will meet
tomorrow night, the select in regular
and the common in special session. No
measures of unusual Importance are to
be considered by either body, but it is
likely that a number of new resolu-
tions and ordinances will be intro
duced.
The members of the board of asso-
| ciated charities will in the near future
ask to have the boards headquarters
in the city hall changed from the board
| of health rooms on the top floor to the
unused reception" room at the west
| end of the corridor on the second floor.
| There are several good reasons for the
| change. One reason was made evident
| yesterday when an old lady who called
to make application for relief became
! exhausted and fell in faint at the
head of the third flight of stairs. Sew
eral occurrences of this kind have been
| experienced in the past few years. But
| leaving this feature aside, the members
| of the board can see no good reason
why two departments should occupy
| one office when an unused and more
| accessible room can be made use of.
| The reception" room is an anomaly.
as it is used for neither the purpose its
name implies or for any other pur-
pose.

Last week British Columbia logger
sent the cook Of his camp to Douglass,
the British Columbia station Just
across the line from Blaine, to get an
express package. The Monaghan came
to Douglass, and instead of stopping
there, wandered over the line to the
Great Northern Depot, on this
side, where he sat down. A
jealous deputy marshal spied
him, and after a few questions
found out he had no papers. So he de.
tanned him, and according to law the
only thing that could be done was to
deport him to China, although Mckee
came down and explained and tried to
have him released to go back and cook

when some one yelled: There's an.

stopped instanter, and he was ques.

He was outspoken against the deDTs.
dations Of Kuklux, and is credited with
having organized an anti-kuklux party.
which did much toward putting down
the clan. About two years ago some
OF the new men, who had come into
Breathitt since the advent Of the rail-
road, organized band OF regulators
patterned somewhat after the old Ku-
klux Khan. Again Capt. Strong was
outspoken against the methods of the
mob, and denounced the regulators In
unmeasured terms.
The regulators committed outrage
GUS depredatlons. They whipped and
robbed an old man named Ed Spicer.
They hung old Joshua 1eace to a limb,
allowing his toes to barely touch the
ground, and kept him Ia that position
for hours. They robbed Wiley Morris,
and. going through farms, shot stock
to death. and on Capt. Strongs farm
tore down fences and shot his stock,
badly wounding several head. The cap
tain was loud in his condemnation of
these acts Of vandalism, and when he
was told by persons who pretended to
be his friends that Ed and Sam Gala
han were at the head of these regula-
tors he denounced them. Then the
tale-bearers went to the Galatians and
told them what Capt. Strong had said
about them.
This brought on the feud between
Capt. Strong and the Galatians, and
when Tom Barnett, who was known to
be friend of Strong, was found MUIR
dered, Strong friends declared the
Galatians were responsible for Bar
nett's death, and not long after that
Tom Sizmore, friend of the Galatians,
was found on the roadside dead with
a bullet through his heart. Realizing
that Bfeathitt county was about to be
plunged into another of those wars
which have earned for it the title Of
''Bloody Breathitt," County Judge Day
and several of the leading lawyers and
citizens Of Jackson decided to use their
in1uente toward bringing about set
Element Of the trouble between Strong
and Callahan.
| Accordingly warrants were sworn
out by them against Capt. Strong and
four & five of his leading friends to
make tnem keep the peace, and simil-
ar warrants were sworn out for the
Galatians and several of their friends,
Both sides were cited to appear on the
same day, and they came in, each side
under heavy guard summoned by Sher-
if Tom Deaton. The men met in Judge
Days Office, and on comparing notes
Capt. Strong and the two Callahan
brothers found that they had all been
victims OF talebearers and they shook
hands, promised to bury the Ratchet
and let bygones be bygones,
