Only small crowd of legal witnesses

sides the government officials.
George Bear and John Shaw, his
stepson, had cut some hay on shares.

chickens Oct. 8, while out in his
buggy with the
Shotgun by His Side,
he saw Shaw going to town with a
load of the hay which they had a joint
ownership in. Bear drove mp to the
wagon and asked Johnny Shaw for 4

refused to give him any satisfaction,
and Bear, who was behind the load.

him in the back Shaw fell off the
load, when Bear walked around in
front of Shaw and shot him in the
breast .r'
There were three witnesses to this

Tayloe. Cain Milk and Daniel Milk

said: Hello, George, been hunting
chickens?"
Bear replied: Eyes. | have Killed
one and now will kill another" He
raised his gun and fired the. piece
while only six feet distant from Tay-
loe. The charge entered the right
breast, tearing an immense hole in
the coat and the breast. Tayloe sank

Without the firing of a gun Washing
ton was surrendered to the forces of the
Grand Army of the Republic. The
throng taxed the capacity of the rail
roads, and it is estimated that the at-
tendance at the encampment broke the
record Of similar gatherings in recent
years and that there were as many stran-

Dental iuaugurations.
The naval parade and many reunions
were the entertainments given the Grand
Army veterans during the second day.
The weather was threatening during the
early morning, but the sun burst through
the clouds about noon, so that with the
mild temperature which prevailed there
was no reason for complaint on that
score. The attendance steadily increas-
ed during the day and at night the city
was crowded MS it has been only on very

RECEIVER FOR THE MINES.
Big Coal Railroads Must Fight De-
fermined Action.


Several Boston mon, seeking public re-
lief in the courts from the coal shortage
and high prices, have filed in the State
Supreme Court bill in equity asking
for a receiver for coal producing railroads
and companies operating in Pennsylva-
nia.
The petitioners ask that a receiver be
appointed for the benefit of all concerned
upon such terms and ia such manner. and
with such agents and servants, and with
such rates of wages and other conditions
of employment, and at such prices for
goods produced and sol as the court
shall from time to time adjudge proper.
The suit is in line with the contentious
of Attorney Heman w Chaplin and is TO
make a tast of his theory which is based
on the utterauce Of Chief Justice Waite
of the United States Supreme Court in
delivering an opinion of that court ON the
constitutionality Of certain laws made
by the Legislature Of the State of Hi
nois for the purpose Of regulating the
methods and determining the compensa-
ton to be received for the handling aud
storage Of grain by the elevator com
panics in the city of Chicago.
On that occasion Chief Justice Waite
said:
Property becomes clothed with pub
lie interest when used in a manner to
make il Of public consequence and affect
the community at large. When, therefore.
one devotes his property to a use IN which
the public has an interest he in effect,
grants to the public an interest in that
use and he must submit to be controlled
by the public for the common good to
the extent Of the interest he has thus
created
