Marshal Ross not Soft Snap to Run up
AOaipst

Against.
Marshall Ross had his nerve tested Satur-
day afternoon and with IL his muscle. Both
stood the test In way which will be quite
likely to be kept in mind by all who saw
the test as we'll as by all who hear the story
from eye witnesses. James Carroll, night
operator at the Grand Trunk station In this
city, had spent the day getting an ugly
drunk and In the afternoon was looking tor
trouble on south Washington street when
the marshall came along and advised him to
go home. This he did not choose to do nor
, could his companion induce him to. He
then proceeded to use indecent language to
the officer who placed him under arrest.
The fellow then struck savagely at the Off
Ger and finally succeeded in striking his
nose and drawing blood. BY this time the
officers patience had plainly ceased to be a
virtue and In default of a regular police
mans club which Mr.. Ross does not carry,
the officer showed his fist against the fellows
face twice in rapid succession with such
force as to sprain his own wrist but at the
same time render the prisoner unconscious
He was taken to the city jail on dray and
after spending Sunday in the county Jail
he was brought before Justice Baldwin and
in default Of fine of ten dollars and costs
has begun a sojourn of thirty days with
Sheriff Scougale. All who saw the affair
commended the new marshal both for his
patience and forbearance as ling as there
was chance that 1t might be sufficient and
then for the very thorough way in which he
put matters through to finish as soon as
stern measures were surely necessary.
Marshal Ross has plainly shown the stuff
he is made OF and no fears of his compe-
tency are heard from any quarter.

The Coroner VIII not Take Final Action
Until After Conference With the Prose-
cutor.
Although Chemist Rawlings on last
Saturday, presented report of the
result Of his examinations into the
contents of the stomach and other or
gans Of the late Mrs. Harry Bowers,
no definite action has yet been taken
by the authorities, and none will be
had until after a conference between
Prosecuting Attorney Meyers and Cor
oner SchultZe. 1t was expected this
would take place yesterday, but was
unavoidably delayed.
Chemist Rawlings report. which was
brief, was handed to Prosecuting At
torney Meyers Saturday. 1t merely
recited that no trace of any poison had
been found. Mr.. Meyers turned the
paper over to Coroner Schultze. In
conversation held yesterday with an
official interested in the case, it was
intimated that there was suspicion
that big dose of chloroform might
have been given the unfortunate wo-
man, and that this was a dag which
would leave no trace behind after a
few hours. One of two other drugs
acting similarly were also alluded to.
The jury will not be called together
perhaps for some time yet, but the
matter will by no means be allowed
to rest where it is.

ness, has been released on her own
recognizance, and E. ]. Clark, another

TWO CASES
Of Wife Beating at Martins Ferry.
-.-Mrs. Beck Struck on the Head
aud Seriously Injured.--A Lively
Chase.

The officers at Martins Ferry last
evening at half past seven o'clock,
were called to the home of James Beck,
on First street, where Beck was plac-
ed under arrest on the charge of beat
ing his wife. "Corpsy," as he is bet
ter known, was released from Jail yes
terday after paying fine for fighting.
1t is alleged that he went home drunk
and proceeded to beat his wife over
the head with a poker. When the Of
ficers arrived on the scene, Mrs. Beck
was in a serious condition. Her scalp
was cut in various places and it is be-
lieved that her skull was fractured.
At a late hour last night, Mrs. Beck
was lying in a semi-conscious state.
No physician could be secured and the
township physician refused to attend
the case without an order from the
township trustee, who resides about
two miles west of town.
About ten o'clock last night, DR..

jured woman. After an examination
had been made it was stated that Mrs.
Beck was lying in very critical con-
dition.
Mrs Charles Pracht, at Martins Fer
ry, swore out a warrant for her hus-
band Monday afternoon, charging him
with abuse. Marshal Lindemuth and
Officer Westwood secured buggy yes
terday afternoon and started for Glen's
Run on the hunt of him At Burling
ton, about a mile above the city, they
saw their man coming down the pike
on horseback, and he, suspecting what
was up, got off his horse and tied his
animal to a fence nearby. He then
gave the Marshal chase of about half
a mile. He was finally landed and
brought down to the Jail. He will
probably be given hearing this morn
ing.

QUIET AT THE BARN.
No Unusual Incidents reported Yesterday
Moving the Office.

No Unusual Incidents reported Yesterday
Moving the Office.
There were no unusual developments
in the vicinity of the car barn in Upper
Benwood yesterday, the nearest APP
preach to what might be construed as
contempt of court being the cat calls
from occupants of the union wagons
drawn past the barn. The doors and
windows were open, evidently for the
purpose of affording some degree OF
ventilation which the health author
tiles of Benwood will insist upon.
Inside the men generally sat
about, and the deputy mar
shals and employees Of the
pany engaged in conversation.
Several cars had more than their quota
of men upon leaving the barn, and it
was the general impression that this
was an effort on the part Of the COM
pany officials to make citizens believe
that the virtual boycott Of the cars had
Deon broken.
Secretary Shirley nor United States
Marshal Thompson were about the
barn much during the day. A heavy
wagon brought down a load of provis-
ions in the afternoon and returned up
tAwn with lot of the office furniture.
1t has nearly all be removed to the up
town office on Main street, which will
probably be the principal Office of the
company pending a settlement of the
strike. The usual crowds gathered in
the vicinity of the barn, but there were
no disturbances. News of the result of
the trials at the custom house was
anxiously sought, and the announce
ments had a rather depressing and per-
haps lettering effect upon those who
have been amusing themselves in
tossing stones, etc.

/ The eleventh day of the street rail-
way strike passed yesterday with no
noteworthy change in the situation.
A few cars were run, as upon other
days; the patronage was very limited;
two arrests were made; no cars were
run through Benwood, and there was
comparative quietness in the vicinity
of the barn at Forty-eighth street.
That summarizes the situation, aside
from the proceedings in the Federal
Court, which are completely reviewed
elsewhere in this issue.
Very few Instructions were placed on
the tracks during the day, even in Ben
wood, but there were some unkind re-
marks made to new employees of the
company and the deputy marshals on
cars from time to time. There is COM
plant from citizens that gentlemen oc-
cupying responsible positions, travel
ing in wagons or accidentally caught in
proximity to persons guilty Of more or
less disorder, are exposed to the danger
of arrest by marshals, and one gentle
man, bank cashier, stated yesterday
that because one man in a wagon
called BAH" to a man on car dep
uties threatened to arrest the entire
number of people in the vehicle. 1t is
scarcely probable, however, that rep
utable and innocent people will be in
any danger of this sort, for even one
arrest of an innocent man, attending to
his own business, under such circum-
stances, would tend to materially ac-
centuate the present stringency be-
tween the officials and the people.
Everyone hopes for speedy solution
of the trouble, but candor compels the
statement that there is no relief in
sight at present.
The wagons set aside for transporta-
ton have gotten down TO a regular
schedule system, and the patronage was
heavy yesterday.
Affairs on the line across the river
are quiet and the men appear to be dis
posed to remain at work for the pres
ent.

TWO ARRESTS YESTERDAY.

About half-past eleven o'clock yes
terday morning Julius Hotfire was ar
rested at M. Agnic's saloon, on the ex-
IRENE upper end of North Main street,
by deputy marshals. An witness
describes what happened as follows:
There were ten or dozen men on
the car As it went north there were
half dozen. men in front of Agnic's
and some of them called BAH to the
men on the car. Coming back this was
repeated. The car ran very slowly past
Agnie's, and the men on the car were
craning their necks out Of the doors
and windows, and the effect was to in
duce further calls from the sidewalk.
When the car reached the foot of the
grade it was stopped and then run
slowly back in front of Agnic's again
instead of going on. There were no OBJ
structions on the track. Passing Ag
MICS going north, it was again stopped
and third time slowly run past. One
of the men on the car pointed to a
man in Agnic's door. The man saw
he was to be arrested and started to
run in the saloon as several of the
marshals got OF the car and started
for him. Agnic tried to push the man
out, but he got in and was followed
by the marshels, who dragged him out
with them. A marshal was behind the
prisoner with billy. The man was
put on the car, which then started
down town."
This prisoner was committed to Jail.
A little later second prisoner. named
Joseph McCrea was brought to the Jail

A NEW FEATURE.


A new situation~is expected to result
in the strike this week through the
pressure brought to bear by the meet
ing of the Trades Assembly Sunday at
Bellaire. This new turn will be the
strike OF the employees on the B., B. &
NJ. F. division of the company's line.
The only thing necessary to make this
possible is leader for the men, all of
whom are in sympathy with the strik-
ing employees on the Wheeling line.
Nearly every one of the thirty men on
the road are willing to be organized
into local union.
In justice to the men it can be stat
ed That they are not learning nine new
men, as has been reported. There is
only one new man on the line, and he
was learning Before the strike was in
augurated
1t was reported yesterday that the
new men would go out last evening as
the company intended they should car
ry the mail to the Martins Ferry post
Office. Upon investigation this report
proved to be similar to many others in
circulation, as the men stated no such
order had been issued, and it was
learned from good authority that it
would not be.

much excitement was caused by it. An
attempt is being made to secure men at
that place to act as deputies, but SO far
the efforts of those in charge have not
proven very successful.

Illinois Live Stock Report.


The Illinois state board of live stock
commissioners has filed with the gov
ernor its thirteenth annual report,
which certains many items sregarding
contagious diseases among animals. Ii
says that during the year there we're
three outbreaks of southern fever
among cattle within the state. Ex-
posure in each case was due
to the illegal importation OF southern
cattle.
A full account is given of the expert
ments conduc ed near Rockford by the
board, and those demonstrated that
southern cattle dipped in extra dyna-
mocil and sulphur are incapable, as
has been claimed by the bureu OF ami
NAL industry, of conveying southern
fever to northern cattle.
Regarding tuberculosis among cattle
the report calls attention 60 the liablli-
ty of the spread of the disease to hui
mans through milk and beef and
speak of tests which proved the Ell
iciency of tubercOline as diagnostlo
agent and says that more dairy farmers
than usual sought to have such tests
made because they had sustained loss
in tuberculosis when discovered and
the cattle consequently been condemn
ed to be killed. 1t then asks the le-
gislature to appropriate $780, 600 year
for reimburSements TO farmers whose
cattle are so destroyed. Tuberculosis
is found to be widespread in Illinois
and an appropriation ia urged as the
best and any efficient way of stamping
out the disease.-San AntouiO Express.

WHEN the opponents of territorial
expansion try to point US back to the
founders of the republic, and bid US
give ear to their arguments, they not
seldom lead themselves into grievous
error. For instance Daniel Webster
made some of his most effective and
famous speeches against the acquisi-
ton of the Great West, while today. as
the Detroit Tribune observes, "the
people of Boston go out to this region
which Mr.. Webster cursed 30 elo-
quently to get rid of the rigors of the
New England climate and re-
cover from its diseases. Last year the
commerce between the east and the
Pacific states afforded a revenue of
S1s5, 900 900 to six great trunk lines of
railway. The Canadian Pacific earned
1924, OOO 900; the Northern Pacific, 1913,
zoe, 900; the Great Northern, 1922, 6O0,-
600; the Union Pacific, $4,000, 900; the
Atchisou, Topeka and Santa Fe. $4O,-
OOO, 900, and the Southern Pacific,
$50, 100000. The Pacific Coast is near.

and it is mighty good thing for
Boston that the country expanded"

WHILE the republican party organs
are standing by and laughing heart
lily at the spectacle presented by Joe
Bailey of Texas and his squeal1ng
minority, democratic newspapers not
few are saying hard things about the
young Texan. For instance the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal speaks OF
him as "arbiter of winds and
tides, rainmaker.in-c chief of q reunited
nation, grand satellite of the Milky
Way, chief cook and bottle-washer OF
