T. c. McQuate, one of the Jurors, had

evidence on the case. Milton
Braucher represented Palmer at the
motion for the new trial Monday af-
ternoon, while Snyder and Day repre-
sented the barber firm. Quite q

FOOTPADS KNOCK
down AND ROB
A COL0RED Man
William Herbert, the
Latest Victim, Loses
a Roll OF SIS.
SUPPOSED ASSAILANT Was ARRESTED

William Herbert, young colored
man, was knocked down by foot pad
Monday evening about $3.50 o'clock
along the Ft. Wayne tracks near the
corner Of Seventh street and his as
sailant succeeded in getting about SIS.
Shortly after the occurrence was re-
ported to the police, Officers Ryan
and Zimmerman arrested Herbert
Lacey, another colored man, on the
charge of suspicion in connection
with the hold-up.
Lacey, 1t seems, was with Herbert
at a saloon kept by Benjamin Ran
dolph near the corner of Ninth street
and the Ft. Wayne tracks just short
time before the assault. AS the po-
lice learned the story it appears that
Herbert was intoxicated and went In
TO the Randolph saloon and flashed a
roll Of money.
The bartender in the saloon advised
Herbert to go to his rooming place on
East Seventh street and shortly after
1t is claimed Lacey left the saloon.
Lacey later went home and was there
when he was informed of the assault
on Herbert. Lacey at once returned
to the saloon on Ninth street and told
the proprietor, it is said, that he
would knock somebody's head off IL.
they blamed him for attacking the
man. He made several threats and
the proprietor forced him to leave the
saloon. These suspicious actions led
to his arrest by the officers.
Herbert was badly battered up and
is unable to furnish a description or
his assailant Lacey is held in the
police station pending an investigation
by the mayor.

NEW SYSTEM
PROPOSED
Radical Changes in Present Plan Of
Graduations May be introduced
in Canton Schools.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES MONTHS

Some radical changes Of the public
school system in Canton are in con-
temptation by the superintendent Of
schools and other school officials. The
changes will be made gradually and
1t is probable that they will not be put
into force until the next regular school
year.
One of the most radical changes
contemplated is that of holding grad
uations in the high school every half
year, instead Of every year as is now
the custom. Many Of the larger cities
have adopted this plan and 1t is said
to be working admirably.
AS 1t is now many students in the
high school fail in one or two studies
and as a result they are compelled to
take an entire year Of this branch
over again, Under the proposed sys-
tenn the student would only take a
half year of this study since a half
year would properly constitute reg
ular years work. Professor Arm
strong, principal of the high school,
in conversation on the subject said
that many branches in the high school
which are now being recognized as un-
necessary for the average student will
he eliminated. If this plan of holding
graduations in June and January
would be put in force Principal Arm
strong says that the elaborate exer-
cises which are held by the graduating
class would be done away with as
would the annual banquet rendered by
the junior class to the senior class.
Principal Armstrong also states that
1t is proposed to abolish all class
rivalry and have the entire pupil
body work for the good and honor
Of the Canton high school. In his
opinion this spirit would be a great
deal better than the class rivalry
which now exists.
It is altogether probable that the
banquet to be rendered this year by
the juniors to the seniors will he the
last.
Many Of the parents of students In
the high school object to these social
functions and this is the reason as
signed for doing away with the GUS
tom which has been in vogue for q
number of years.

tiles.

There will be pow-wow In Senator
Hannas Office in Cleveland in a few
days which will probably result in the
selection Of the man who is to have
the support of the Hanna wing of the
party for the Republican nomination
for governor, says a Washington spe-
cial to the Pittsburg Dispatch. The
men in conference will be the sena-
tor, General Dick and Colonel Myron
II. Herrick.
The general left Washington last
night for the purpose of attending the
conference. The point at issue is as
to whether the senator has given too
much encouragement to the colonel to
he a candidate for the nomination to
permit him, honorably, to come out
for the general. The colonel is sure
he has. The general is sure he has
not and there's the subject for debate
The senator believes the general
would be the stronger candidate and
all his inclinations are toward him. II
looks now as IL it would not do for
two Hanna men to go into the contest
for delegates except with the under
standing that the one with the lesser
following shall throw his strength to
the other when the voting in conven-
tion is begun.
II. M. Dougherty and Representa-
tive r. W. Tayler, it is said by the
Hanna men, will 60 into the contest
with such an understanding. There
fore, for purposes of protection, !. will
be necessary for Dick and Herrick tc
have a similar understanding.

HORSE THIEF AND CRAZY.
Rather Bad Combination in William
Thomas Drake.

Thomas Drake.
Judge Lea has had to lea with some
pretty tough propositions in his time
but he met his Waterloo last Friday
in the person of a man who is a horse
thief and has a large colony of bats in
his garnet. says the Roswell Record.
One night last week a good horse,
saddle and bride were stolen from tie
l. F ID stock farm. The next morning
the thief stopped at Gronsky's sheep
camp, fifteen miles north of Roswell,
and asked for breakfast. 1t was freely
given him and 1t was eaten in silence
and then rode on to another camp for
dinner, where he abandoned his mount
and struck out on foot. Rip Van Win
kle was on his trail. however, and
about this time arrested him, and
brought him to town.
The thief was arraigned before Judge
Lea Friday morning and for an hour
his honor tried to get some sense out
of the culprit, who would not plead or
even speak, showing symptoms of eth
er insanity or idiocy, the court being
unable to tell which. Finally the fell
low was induced to write his name,
William Thomas Drake. on a slip of
paper, and that was the best h a could
be done. Whether crazy or idiotic,
there was no doubt that he stole the
horse and the judge bound Mr.. Drake
over to the grand jury in the sum of
$400. and he is now saddling pink gi-
RATES. in the county Jail. with a certain
ty of a trip to Santa Fe or Las Vegas
