WiIfred Stiles Now in Jail.

Wllired Stiles Now In Jail,
Several weeks ago wllfred stiles,
who Is known about town as Buck -
became incensed and assaulted Wesley
May at the corner of Second and Ohio
streets, and used a knife with bad eff
feet. He afterward fed into West
Virginia and has since kept himself
away from the city. A warrant was
sworn out for his arrest, charging him
with cuetlng with intent to kill. The
April grand jury indicted him on that
count, but the Indictment was not
made public at the time.
Sheriff McCallister had 100 cards
printed which gave description of the
fugitive, and he mailed them through
out the county and contiguous terri
tory to persons who were instructed to
notify the Sheriff If he was located.
Marshal Dye also assisted on the case.
Tuesday afternoon SheriffMcCa Ulster
received the following telegram:
Warner, O., May 8.
John S. McCallister, Sheriff:
Wilfred Stiles located. Come at
once to Harriettsvile on morning train

Accordingly the Sheriff drove out
Tuesday evening at once, taking Mar
shal Dye along, and found the man in
bed He offered no resistance and
was brought pack with the officers, who
arrived in the city about five o'clock
Wednesday morning and lodged him in
the county Jail
He will be given an opportunity this
morning of pleading to the indictment
1t is reported that May, the man who
was wounded in the assault, was in nc
way to blame for the affair, but that
Stiles fancied May to be interfering in
deal he was trying to make with an
other man.
May fortunately received no fatal
wounds in the affray, and has recover
ed from the effects of those received
but that fact will have nothing. to dc

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
MarIatt OuietS Down,

Ira Marlatt, who has been on a
rampage since last Friday in his steel
cage at the penitentiary, decided Tues
day morning to settle down again and
take things easy. But ne does not
cease to express his enmity toward the
officials, who, he claims, do him great
injustice in many ways. Yesterday he
handed out his water bucket, which he
had broken to pieces. The food he has
been laying up previous has all been
consumed, and it is possible this had
something to do with quieting him
down..

King Solomon and the Queen Of
Sheba.

This wonderful spectacle has a
breadth of effect which surprises and
delights. Its gorgeous professions and
splendid ballets are incompatible, and
nothing so vast or imposing has ever
been seen in this country before. We
gaze upon the ancient city ofJerusalem
and the temple of Solomon animated
with life and glowing with color. 1t
is no mere artificial show, but vivid
and vast realization of life in the time
of Solomon. The senses are beguiled
by its reality as well as its surprising
beauty and the perfection of its de-
tails. Marietta, Saturday, May 18th.

The B0er Account.

CapetoWn Oct. 20. A copy Of the
Standard and Digger's News has been
obtained here giving the Boer account Of
the armored train fighting in the vicin-
ity of Mafeking. with Boer coloring. 1t
fully confirms the account given by the
engine driver of the train, who escaped,
adding that the deserted trucks We're rid
died with bullets. They contained dyna-
mite and a terrible explosion occurred,
the trucks being blown to atoms. There
We're no casualties among the burghers,
according to this story. With regard to
the second armored train fight. the paper
says the Beers had two killed and four
wounded and that when the train was
seen approa ching with Colonel Baden
Powells men ON board, the Beers formed
in battle array and poured a whitening
fire upon the train at thousand yards,
but the armor rendered their fire ineffect-
tive. The fiat nature of the veldt yielded
no cover and the men were compelled to
lie on the ground. The British repeat
edly raked their lines.
The Standard and Digger's News ad-
mits that a total of about 40 burghers
We're disabled. 1t prints Ludenberg
telegram which discounts the brilliant
account of Boer successes. stating that
the result of the first brush with the
British troops was cody received by the

says: There is little cause for alarm at

United States transport Senator, with
the Iowa troops aboard, encountered a
typhoon shortly after leaving Yokohama,
according to marine men and the owners
of the steamer. The fact that the EN-
press of India did not sight the trans
port and was herself caught in the

the Senator. In Fact, the army officers
and both members of the firm of Good

Monday, as scheduled, or at the most
not later than Tuesday. The Senator is
