LIVELY SCENES
Passengers Assaulted by Strike Sympa-
thizers at Benwood Yesterday.


At Benwood yesterday there were
several ludicrous incidents, the strike
sympathizers and passengers on the
Wheeling railway being the perform
ers, as usual. In the afternoon a man
named Thomas Hedrich, who claimed
to be union man from Mobile, Ala
bama, got off car at the HARMONY
House, on Marshall street He was at
once surrounded by number of young
men, and becoming frightened, ran
down the bank leading to the B. & O.
railroad tracks. The passenger on
reaching an open space, was met by q
much larger man than himself and res
ceived a heavy blow which sent him
spraWling to the ground. The man af-
ter getting up received a number of
blows from the crowd and finally was
carried to pond nearby and given a
ducking. The man was not injured but
received treatment which he will not
soon forget. Another passenger on his
way to Bellaire was pursued by a
crowd of boys, and ON reaching the
ferry float drew a revolver and flour
ished it about threateningly. The
youngsters gradually dispersed and no
shots were fired. Two couples aHght-
ed from the cars at the terminus of the
line at various times in the evening.
They were on their way to Moundsville
and while waiting for the car were
treated very unpleasantly. They were
struck with decayed vegetables and
other sorts of missiles. The demonstra-
lions were continued until the arrival
of the police, when the crowds were
dispersed. One of the men, w. H
Cheatham, from North Point, Pa, had
his hat torn to pieces and was thumped
on the body However, he was not
hurt

Other Benwood Notes of Interest.

The charge Of shooting with intent to
kill, which was entered against Deputy
Revenue Collector Bonar, of Mounds
vile, in Squire Henry Riddles court at
Benwood, last Saturday night, was
withdrawn by the plaintiff, Walton
Davis, yesterday morning. Previous
to the withdrawal, Marshal Furbee,
who had been deputized by the court,
went to Moundsville for the purpose of
serving the warrant for arrest. but
found that the deputy collector had
gone to Parkersburg on business. 1t
was stated by people who are well in
formed in the case, that Davis would
in all probability appear before the
grand jury, which convenes at Mounds
vile to-day and prefer charges against
the deputy collector The charge grew
out Of the shooting ARRAY at Benwood
Saturday night. Mr.. Bonar claimed
that he was assaulted by Davis after
he had gotten off car on the Wheel
ing railway line, while Davis says he
can prove that he was showed against
the passenger by crowd of boys who
were standing around at the time. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Bonar was
arrested by the police on the charges
of carrying concealed weapons and
shooting within the city limits, and
was afterwards released on bail of
$500 He will be given a hearing before
Mayor Thomas Sheppard tomorrow.
