PAYS FOR BRUTAL FIGHT
JAMES M'LAUGHLIN, WHO USED A
RAZOR, is SENTENCED.
He Must Serve frcu Two to Fourteen
Years in the Reformatory-Oth-
err Cases i'm the Courts.

James Mclaughlin. twenty years DID,, was
sentenced to from two to fourteen years in
the Jacksonville Rsformatory by Judge
Afford. of the Criminal Court. yesterday.
on a charge of assault and battery with at
tempt to kill Jasper Brady. a fight in
which Brady was slashed with a razor
took place after a dance in Phoenix Hall.
Mclaughlin and his brother had trouble at
the hall with a man wearing a light hat.
After the dance they took two women
home, and on their way back to the hall
met Brady at Georgia and Illinois streets.
He was dressed like the man they had had
trouble with earlier in the evening, and it
is said James Mclaughlin at once began to
slash him with a razor.
Brady's cries for mercy attracted atten-
ton from persons across the street and
they ran to his rescue but were warned to
not interfere by Mclaughlin, who bran
dished his razor and threatend to use it on
any one who came within reach. 1t is said
that when Brady was down Mclaughlin
kicked him in the face and again began to
cut him with his razor. The police and
court officials say it was one of the most
brutal fights they ever had to deal with.
McLaughlin's brother was sentenced to the
~workhouse for helping James in the fight.
When Judge Afford pronounced sentence
McLaughlin's mother and sister, who were
in the courtroom, begged the judge TO re-
mand the sentence. Mclaughlin entered a
plea of guilty TO the charge and an attempt
was made TO get him off with a workhouse
sentence, but Prosecutor Ruckelshaus OBJ
jected. He related the story of the cutting
and Judge Afford thought the sentence was
just.
Roy Craft and Henry Ruschaupt. boys of
Cumberland, were each fined S. and costs
by Judge Afford on a charge of disturbing a
religious meeting. 1t is said the boys were
in the habit of whistling around the church
at Cumberland and blowing smoke in
through the windows while services were
going on. They were also charged with an
noying neighbors by calling them up at
night and doing other things that were ag-
gravating to the older people. Judge Afford
gave the boys a lecture when he assessed
the fine. Ruschaupt was also fined 81 and
costs for profanity.
Julia NJ. Hopson, fourteen years old, was
sentenced TO the Reform School for Girls
on a charge of being incorrigible. Her
father said she would not stay at home and
that he was unable to keep her in school.
The girl said her mother was dead and that
her father did not treat her right.

THE BOARDS FIRM STAND
1T WILL NOT RECEDE FROM POSI-
TON ON VACCINATION.
A Slight Modification Only VIII BE
Madc-The Teaching of Ger
m~an-Other Matters.

The School Board will not recede from it's
position on the question of vaccination in
the city schools, although the order issued
some time ago has been slightly modified.
The matter was brought up again at a
meeting of the board last night. The ques-
ton was raised on a report made by the
city sanitarian. who notified the board that
he had received Information from the legal
department of the city administration to
the effect hat the Board of Health has no
power to enforce the School Boards recent
order, although the former board feels that
the order should be enforced.
The school Board discussed the matter
and it was decided to notify the Board of
Health that it would be expected to make
a defense in the event of an action brought
to admit children excluded under the
School Boards order. 1t was decided, now
ever, that where physicians will certify
that children are not in a proper physical
condition to stand vaccination, these chill
dren will be allowed to remain in school.
1t is said that there are about five hundred
children now out of school on account of
the order requiring children to be vacci-
mated.
Among other matters that came before
llC DOdIQ was a ICCOAhlAICllQdllOU ludt CtI-
tain amendments be made 10 Article 3, of

this matter and IL will go over till the next
meeting.
On recommendation of the superintendent
the board appointed Minna BrOich and Car
rie Hildebrand teachers of German, at reg
ular schedule salaries. They have been
teaching German at schools Nos. IL and 8.
with the rank and pay of substitutes. Min
ma Broich will receive a salary of $625. The
salary Of Carrie Hildebrands is fixed at $500.
The board gave the superintendent au-
thority to appoint truant officers for the
city. Five are to be appointed. \ report
from the business director showed that the
school enumeration for April was 1908, an
increase OF ninety-Sevcn over April of last
year. The board ordered a one-room addi-
tion built TO school No. 81. A communica-
ton was received from Stevenson K Co.

AGAINST l.. A. KINSEY a co.
Local Brokerage firm VIII Have to
Pay $4,s50.

The Appellate Court yesterday affirmed
a judgment recovered by James Boyce, of
Muncie, for 81, $50 against the Indianapolis
brokerage firm of L. A. Kinsey & Co. The
amount sued for was originally larger, bur
Kinsey & Co. paid 49, 700 before the case
was appealed. The defense made by Kin
sey & Co. to the claim was that it was for
money won by Boyce on margins" "op-
tons and FUTURES and that Boyce knew
they were operating a bucket shop. Boyce
claimed to be doing business in Muncie as
q broker conducting transactions through
klnsey & Co., and the jury held that these
dealings were in good faith.
The Appellate Court held that William
Brands, a farmer in Vanderburg county,
mast keep up a custom followed by his
father for forty years of carefully shutting
behind him three gates on a farm belonging
to John r. Grissom, over which he had to
pass TO reach the public road. When Will
liam's father died he declared he would not
fellow the rule, but Grissom secured an
Injunction from the Circuit Court ordering
him to shut the gates, and the Appellate
Court upheld the injunction.
The decision of the Appellate Court in the
appeal of the Lake Erie & Western Rail-
road COMPANY against Mrs. Mary Z. Els
sington, a woman residing on a farm about
enc mile from Noblesville, was TO the eff
feet that in building a substitute wooden
trestle over a road that had been used by
Mrs. Essington for forty years the railroad
must conform to her wishes. The compa ny
desired TO make a 'hll' in place of I'll.
~trestle, but Mrs. Essington objected be-
cause it would destroy her driveway.
