What might have terminated in a
tragedy. with the scene laid at cald-
wells run, came to light yesterday
morning, The Victim is LEN" swartz,
an old man, who ekes ont an existence
by collecting old beer kegs for the
brewerles. His assailant, Louis Ruth
err, had a hearing before Squlre Greer
last night, and was commltteHto jail
to await the action OF the grand jury
Both are old men and live side by side
out Caldwells run. According 10
swarts's story, Ruther entered his
house Monday night and after upbraid-
Ing Swartz for accusing him Of pilfer-
Ing coal from him (Swartz) drew a
knife and proceeded Ia use II, Swarts
was cut IN two places about the head,
lbs cheek cut open to the bone, and
around the neck and other parts OF the
body. AZ he Is not In the best physical
condition, II Is surprising that he sur
vlved the vicious assault
Ruther didn't deny using the knife,
at the hearing last night, but said they
were fighting and he didn't propose to
get the worst OF It. He doesn't bear the
best reputation, and takes the matter
coolly. Swarts denies that he accused
Ruther OF taking his coal, but merely
said to him that the coal was dlsap-
pearng rather suspIclpusly from his
shed.
Yesterday morning Swarts had Ruth
or arrested, He was very weak, and II
required much attention from DR..
Manley to overcome the weakness as q
result OF loss OF blood, He lives alone,
and unless he RECEIVERS serious charge
Will be placed against his assallant'

The school Book Board.


EDITOR REGISTER: You ask if we
are to have a change of school
books for our county. ALI the
signs point that way. There was
quite canvass for places on the
Board appointed by the County
Court and the Court declined to
appoint three gentlemen recon-
mended by the Democratic Cam
paign Committee, although they
were among the best known citi-
zens, and of unimpeachable charac-
ter. The law required the APP
pointment of three Democrats out
of the eight members of the Board.
The rivalry between the book com
panies is great. They will spend
money freely to secure the adop-
ton of their books, by this
Board. A complete change of books
for the school children of our
county will involve quite an ex-
pense to every family whose child
rem attend the public schools. Old
and good books must be laid aside
and new ones bought, not because
they are any better than the others,
but because one company will
spend more money in bribery than
than its competitors.
The school books that have been
used by the older children of many
families are carefully preserved for
use by the younger members, and
it would be an outrage upon every
family SO situated, to require the
purchase of new books no better
than those they now have.
The County Court would not APP
point gentlemen endorsed by the
Democratic Committee, but did
not hesitate to appoint the well
known agent of a book concern as
a member of this Board. An en-
tire change of text books for our
public schools viii involve the ex-
penditure of many thousands of
dollars by citizens of this county,
many of whom can i'll afford to
buy new books.
New books are not needed but
the politician who has influence
