THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH,


MO KINLEY MEMORIAL SUNDAY. Sunday, September IA, is the ami verSary of President McKinley's death
 and the request is made to the
 churches that their services on that
 day shall be commemorative of that
 sad event. We all we'll recall the
 startling announcement of the 9th o1 September, 1901, the days of suspense that followed, the great hopes that
 were raised, and finally the breaking l of those hopes in the passing away of the hero. The churches were filled q year ago with true Americans who
 wished to pay their tribute of respect to the truest American of them all:
 shall the lapse of year find us want. ing in our fine feelings of regard? The
 whole day, Sunday, September 14, will
 be given over to the solemn commem-
 oration of this event; the morning
 service at II, the evening service at 7.30 o'clock.

JUDGE TAKING ORDERS P
The Release of Criminals Seems Part
of q Consp1racy.

When there was in court last week
the unusual proceeding of a political
quarrel being brought up for the ben
eft of certain persons charged with
crime, and in some instances represent
ed by the former partner of jurist.
it was noticed that the bench received
many communications from within the
courtroom and presumably from with
out.
Later in the day an attorney who had
seen the frequent reference to notes
made by the judge, found this lying
on the floor in front of the bench, close
to the desk Of the clerk. 1t is writ
ten with a lead pencil on a fragment
of yellow scratch paper, and reads as
follows:
IF defendant announces ready I
would call jury in the box. Have
clerk read Indictment, then there being
no evidence, would instruct jury to
acquit."
Some persons who have seen the
fragment, say it is in the handwriting
of the First Judge of the First Circuit
while others intimate that the hand
writing is that of a lawyer who was in
the courtroom.

A DISGRACEFUL ASSAULT.
Fight at the Fair Ground Band
Day Ends With Serious Re-
sults-Two Middletown Men
Badly Used Up.

A very disgraceful fight took
place at the Fair Ground on Band
Day, Wednesday of last week, in
the afternoon and later was con
tinued in town, in which Mr..
Martin Kefauver, a young farmer
of Middletown district, and his
uncle, Lewis f. Kefauver, were
badly beaten up, as was also
George Strasberger, of this city,
who began the affair.
Young Kefauver was stationed
at the gate of the grand stand
and some dispute took place be-
tween Strasberger and some
friends and himself, ending in a
few blows being struck and much
crowding. Later on, as the crowd
was leaving the grounds, young
Ketauver was set upon by Stras
berger and his crowd and badly
handled. At this time Lewis Ke-
fauver came to the assistance of
his nephew and hit one of the
crowd over the head. Several
blows were struck and missiles
were thrown. DR.. johnson was
summoned and dressed young
Kefauver's wounds, which were
j on the head and face.
That night about $50 O'Clock,
as Lewis Kefauver was walking
down Patrick street, he was as,
saulted by Strasberger, who hit
him over the head several times
with heavy iron wrench. He
was Knocked down and badly
used up. DR.. Ira McCurdy dressed
his wounds. AT one time it was
thought that young Kefauver's
wounds would prove very serious,
but he is now much improved.
Strasberger was arrested by
City Officer Esterly and taken be.
fore Justice Smith who fined him
So for disorderly conduct. This
was paid On last Thursday
morning State writ was sworn
out and Strasberger was arrested
on a charge of assault and bat
terry. Justice Smith held him in
5000 bail to await the action OF
the grand jury.
Next day Strasberger swore out
a writ for Lewis Kefauver for as
sault and battery, and he was
placed under 5000 bail.
Public sentiment was thorough.
ly aroused by this affair and all
peaceable persons desired the
matter to be prosecuted to the
bitter end.
On last Saturday Deputy
Sheriffs Carter and Robinson ar.
rested George Strasberger, Dud'
ley Strasberger, Thomas Penn,
