Battle Between Four Ohio Farmers,
All Over a Dog.

Pomeroy, Ohio, June 22.-Curt and
Frank Davis and Ross and Lang Holli-
day, all residing at Dexter, this county.
fought a terrific battle late last evening
with hoes. Two of the participants in
the battle received wounds which, the
physicians say, will result fatally.
A dog belonging to Davis was the
cause of all the trouble. Some time ago
one of the Holidays killed the dog,
claiming that it had killed a lot of sheep
belonging to him. There was no trouble,
however, until yesterday afternoon, when
the four men met in the road. Each had
hoe. One Of the party made some re-
mark as they met and in a short time
all four were quarreling. Then one of
the party used his hoe and all four
started to hammer away at one another.
The result was that all were badly in
jured and physicians who were called
say that the Davis BOYS cannot survive.

from the Michigan City prison, where he
was sent to serve a three year term

given himself up. He first obtained
from the governor the promise of a
parole for six months. in order to see
his mother, who is very sick, and who
was likely to pass away without seeing
her son again unless he should sur
render, since he did not dare visit her
for fear of arrest.

sided in Chicago and Philadelphia, and
has rapidly advanced in railroad circles
He married about five years ago, first
explaining to his wife his position, and
she is familiar with the particulars of
his surrender. He will return to prison
after six months, unless Dardoned.
At the time of his arrest eight years
ago Cantley was a stenographer, en-
ployed at Long Cliff insane asylum,
and was sent up from Marion.

factor in a rally which followed the

The tone of the market later was dis
tinctly frmer. The crop reports from the

TEN TSlN BOMLARDED.
Continued from First Page.)

in Admiral kempf'S dispatches has led
the war department to make an extra
effort to hurry forward the Ninth reg1-
ment from uLzon to Tal1u. 1t was
supposed by General Macarthur on
the receipt of the original order to send
these troops to China, that owing to the
break in railway communication be-
tween Tarlac, the headquarters of the
Ninth and Manila, and the prevalence
in the harbor of a typhOon, it would
probably not be possible for the troops
to get away before the oath instant.
The war department is now determln-
ed that this movement shall be hasten
ed, if it is possible to do so, and has in
-structed Gen. Macarthur in such fash
ion as to warrant the belief here that
the troops will be on their way to China
not later than tomorrow evening, thus
saving one or two days on the original
calculations.
There is also good redson to believe
that the authorities wifi dispatch at
least one other regiment from Manila to
China with the least possible delay IN
order that the United States may be in
a better position to assist the allied
forces in protecting the lives and pro-
perty of foreigners.
The United States consulate at Tien
TSin which late news adviceS reported
to have been destroyed is situated far
up on the Meadows road which runs up
from the Pei Ho directly through the
center of the town. It is far removed
practically isolated from all other build
ings. This fact might explain the re-
port of its destruction before the rest
of the foreign cOnSulateS were mOlested.
The Japanese and Russian consulateS
are close together on the Meadows road
nearer the river. Away off by them
selves farther up the Pei EIo stand the
British and French buildings in close
proximity to each other. The American
consulate is, or was Gas the case may
be- one of the most imposing and sub
stantial buildings in the town. A re-
cent census of Tien Tsin shows the for
eign population to be about 1000 per-
! sons including 10 Americans. Thus the
report from Japanese sources that ], 500
! foreigners at Tien TSin had been mas
| sacred, would seem to be untrue or
! grossly exaggerated in point of num-
! bers.
Every foreigner within the city boun-
| Diary would have to be killed to bring
| the total up to anywhere near that
number.

Vigorous and confident bull operations

likely to produce q decided effect The
cry of the moment seems to be for a
leader Few persons acquainted with street
affairs expect anything like boom, but
there are important interests which might
be willing to exert personal and money in
f1uence to bring about more of a scare
on the part of the bears than the Stock
Exchange has witnessed in some time 1t
confidence which is now influencing capt.
tai There are other questions than these
of domestic policies which are not under
discussion in banking and business circles.
In one respect Improvement is almost in
sight. The iron and steel markets are now
adjusting themselves to the basis de-
manded by decreased consumption. Pro-
ductiOn is being curtailed even at the ex-
penSe of riSling or of causing some idle
ness on the part of labor. There is no
war however, in the iron and steel indus
try and consequently when the buying ele-
ment decides to come into the market
there will be less stock of manufactured
goods on hand and surplus back of most
of the selling industrial companies.

candidacy for state senator in a bad

have the nomination for senator
against George P. Morehouse, of Coun-
ell Grove. in the district comprising
Marion, Chase and Morris counties
This report brought Mr.. Jeffrey to
the front. He is a candidate and has
been given considerable support, and
was as a result much surprised at the
rumor of Riddle getting the place.
Mr.. Jeffrey says:
Il have a personal letter from Mr.
Riddle, in which he says he is not
candidate, and does not desire to make
the race for senator"

BERGEN CASE ARGUED.
Judge West Presents the Case
to Judge Hook.

The people of Kansas are deeply inter-
ested in the motion made by Judge J. S.
West, assistant attorney general, to
have the federal court set aside the or
der declaring part Of the Kansas pro-
hibitory law invalid.
This motion which is the first step in
the appeal to be taken to the United
States supreme court by the attorney
general was argued in Leavenworth
yesterday.
The decision in which Judge Hook de-
clared a part of the prohibitory law I'M
constitutional was rendered in the case
OF William Bergen, the solicitor for the
Kansas City liquor house who while
taking orders for private delivery was
arrested and convicted of violating the
law by a justice of the peace.
The prisoner who had been sentenced
to jail sought relief in a habeas corpus
proceeding in the federal court. He was
discharged and that portion of the pro-
hibitOry law under which he was con-
victed held unconstitutional by Judge
Hook upon the ground that it interfered
with interstate commerce.
Judge West on the part of the state
claims:
First-That Bergen should have ap-
pealed to the district court Of Franklin
county.
Second-That the case was one which
should have been heard upon it's merits
I'm the state courts:
Thid-That it was not within the
jurisdiction Of the federal court
Fourth-That while the federal court
mad jurisdiction to examine into the
cause of Bergen's restraint the rule re-
Gently laid down by the United States
supreme court is that he should not
have been discharged but should have
been relegated to the state court
Fifth-That the case should have gone
TO the United States supreme court up
on a writ of error and not by the short
process Of habeas corpus.
