WOMEN FIGHT IN A BLOCK.


Ida Park. of sis East Washington street,
was arrested yesterday and charged with
shooting at Mis-. Maggie Walters with in
tent to kill. Mrs. Park claims she did not
shoot at Mrs. Walters. and that the dis
charge of the weapon was due to her ex-
temen and a desire to scare Mrs. Wal
ters. Mrs. Walters is seventy-six years of
age and lives in the same block. Yesterday
some one threw a potato at her She ac-
knowledged the attack by returning the
potato and following it up with numerous
pans and articles common to the kitchen.
Most of these were thrown toward Mrs.
Park, who was standing in the doorway to
her rooms.
Mrs. Park reached over and got a re-
volver which was lying on the dresser. and
in her excitement pulled the trigger. when
all she wanted to do. she claimed, was to
exhibit the weapon to Mrs. Walters so she
might know she had something to hurt
Der with The charge is made that Mrs.
Walters has caused two families to move
from the block and threatened to make Mrs.
Park move, but before she could do that
the agent for the block asked for the vaca-
ton OF the room occupied by Mrs. Walters.
Occupants of the block say that Mrs. Wal
ters had a habit of standing i'm her door
way with a large knife in her hand. osten-
sibly sharpening 1t, but at the same time
indicating by her actions that some of the
tenants would be carved with IL.

The Hog Situation.

indianapolis Live Stock Journal.
Prices of hogs are at the highest point
thus far this year, and, in fact, higher than
they have been before in seven years. The
top to-day, s6.35, is sc higher than yester-
day, and the high price previous to yester-
day was $3.50. July II. These are the high
est prices paid in this market since Sept. Fl,
1894, when the top was $3.50 for heavy and
s5.95 for light. The top price to-day is the
highest paid in August since 1888, when they
reached Sc. Is in Chicago. and, with that ex-
ception, it is the highest since 1884, when
the top was $500.
The high price in August, 1895. was S5.32l2;
in 1896, S. 20, and in 1897 IL was A.52h. In
August, 1898, none sold above A.15; the same
month in 1899 the top was A.95. and last
year in August the highest price was $50.
Another unusual feature of the trade at
this time is that choice heavy grades are
selling at a good premium over light.
There is, OF course, considerable specula-
ton as to future developments, but IL seems
to be the general opinion that good prices
will prevail, especially for the better grades
of butcher and heavy hogs. . 1t also APP
pears that there will be a continued dis
elimination against the undesirable stock.
and there will probably be a wide spread in
prices for some time to come. The great
difference in prices of hogs of equal aver
age caused by a difference in quality makes
1t very difficult for country shippres to buy
stock at its market value, and, therefore,
they cannot be too careful in making their
selections at this time.

STARTING OF A CHURCH
CONTROVERSY RESPONSIBLE FOR
ARREST OF JOHN +. sTECHER.
A Warrant Sworn Out by Mrs
Olive AllisOn-Stecher Secured
Money from Her.

John F. Stecher, who claims to be presi-
dent of the Second Church of Christ
Scientist. and living at 2525 East Tenth
street, was arrested last night by Detec-
tives Holtz and Morgan, on a warrant
sworn out by Mrs. Olive Allison, of 252l
East Tenth street, in which he is charged
with having obtained fraudulertly sl55
from her.
Mrs. Allison's story TO the detectives Is
that Stecher. represented himself as a
member of the mother church at Boston,,
appeared here about the time the First
Church of Christ Scientist became divided
into three factions. He proposed the estab-
lishment of a new church and claimed as a
member of the mother church authority to
start II. To her he claimed it would be
only a matter of a short time until the
third faction of the church would apply
for a charter and haste in the matter Of
the new organization was urged in order
to head the others off. Frequent consulta-
tons resulted in her giving him $3.50, for
which ne gave her a note as president OF
the Second Church. This money she
claimed was TO be returned to her when
other members had been sufficiently liberal
in contributions TO make up that amount
and $50 more. He said the church would
have to be incorporated and that $500
would be necessary for the purpose and the
money would have to be deposited in the
bank to protect Union b. Hunt as secre-
tary of state from loss in case the other
faction should apply for a charter to do
business. She said he represented that the
incorporation fee would be $500, and for the
purpose of getting the thing under way he
agreed TO make UP the so deficit. The
church was incorporated and after that
she saw nothing more of Stecher or the
S155 she had given him. Later it was
learned the fee of the secretary of state
was only $3.50. The warrant was then
sworn out.
Stecher claimed her story was untrue
and that he took the money from her in
order to pay the expenses of starting the
church in the right way and that ii might
be considered in the nature of a retainer.
He claimed to be a lawyer and the expense
money was for himself and such expenses
as he might necessarily incur.

CITY CLERK ATTACKED.
state Liquor League Organ Alleges
Negligence IN once.

City Clerk Geckler was attacked in the
official paper of the State Liquor League.
Our Standard, last week, for the manner
i'm which he conducts his office. The paper
alleges "carelessness. criminal negligence
or incompetency" in allowing persons VINO
have been fined in Police Court TO go with
out paving their fines. The law provides
that fines shall be paid in thirty days In
city cases or ninety days in State cases,
either by the offender or the surety FOR the
fines and costs. There are many cases on
the docket that have not been paid and
Geckler explains by saying the ONCE al
WAYS shows as much leniency as possible
and after the thirty or ninety days ex-
pires the person hned is notified and also
the person who went surety for the fines
and costs. There are unpaid fines and
costs dating back several months There
are also cases on the docket showing no
disposition of cases that have been tried
i'm Police Court. II is alleged that Geckler
and his deputy. August Tamm. have been
very negligent in looking after the city
interests for many months.
