POLITICAL POINTERS.
Things Are Rather Quiet in Waterbury, Both Sides

much longer, and when it comes on 1t
will DE one of the most Interesting
sessions of the kind ever held in Wa
terbury, provided the contending par
ties do not get together In the mean
time and come to an understanding
without going into the last ditch.
Loves hackers say that they cannot
see why he will not win out and the
Guilfoile men declare that they cannot
lose, and there you are NOBODY
appears to be anxious to act as peace
maker so that it is quite probable that
the two aspirants will have 1t out with
out interference from any source.
Democrats who do not like a race of
this kind say that it is too bad that
the party has no head to which such
questions could be referred and whose
decision would be final, and cite sew
eral instances among republicans
where the Intervention of the machine,
was invoked and the sprinting match
ceased forthwith 1t is said that no
matter how penitent they may appear
at this stage Of the game, powerful
DO y of republicans in the third ward
started out to do George Lilley, Colonel
Burpee and a few others that have
had things their own way for years,
but they didn't push on to the end
Why? Because they saw that they
were butting their heads against q
stone wall and concluded to stop be-
fore running afoul of the obstruction.
They halted and swallowed their indig-
nation, but have changed their minds.
That's the question which is puzzling
the party managers and the trouble
is there no way of getting at the facts.
Anyway Lowe and Guilfoile are MAX
ing it interesting for each other and
for the delegates, too, some of whom
claim that If the matter is not settled
in the near future they will move out
of town until after the convention
One Of the reports from the repub-
lican camp to-day was that Attorney
u. G. Church will be their candidate
for Judge Of probate. The report said
also that Attorney w. H. Pierce might
be too popular with the saloon keepers,
with whom he does considerable bust
ness occasionally, and the leaders of
the party would not have their ticket
tainted with contact with such an ele-
ment, SO that 1t is probable Nj
Pierces ambitions may be given
quietus He might be considered q
strong candidate in general way. 1t
therefore behooves the democrats to
run no risk this year Of losing the only
office they are in possession of.

AFTER BOTTLE THIEVES.
Dealers Using Bottles Other Than
Their own Liable 60 a Fine.

III. IA. Doty and r. Howard of New
Haven, special officers representing
the Connecticut State Bottlers' associ-
alton, are now at work in this city.
These men are known to liquor dealers
and the handlers of bottled goods az
the 'Sbottle cops and their visits are
not at all welcome They visit differ
ent places where liquids are bottled
and look over the stock of bottles
which the dealer had in order to see
whether the bottles belong to some
other dealer. Already they have found
I $4,000 bottles in the hands of dealers
in this city which did not belong to
them and they expect to find a few
more thousand before they finish the
work. For every bottle returned to
the rightful owner, the oMaer must
pay 1 cent to the state association.
Dealers using bottles which don't be-
long to them are liable to fine of 81
for each bottle so used; but generally
the dealers in each city are given two
warnings before prosecutions are
made. The local dealers have received
the two warnings and it will be up TO
them to be careful in the future The
cops have the power not only to visit
dealers in bottled goods, but also pri-
vate houses in search of bottles.
These visits to private houses often
result in number of bottles being
secured.
One of the officers said yesterday
that the association was determined to
put stop to the practice of one dealer
using the bottles belonging to another
dealer without his permission. This
practice has cost some dealers much
money in the past

SHOT BANK CASHIER
ATTEMPT TO LOOT NEBRASKA
BANK RESULTS IN TRAGEDY.
Farm Hand Turns Bandit and Makes
Daring But Unsuccessful Attempt
to Secure Large Sum Of Money.

William Holden. farm hand, dur
ing the noon hour Tuesday, entered
the Platte Valley bank, at Platte Gen.
ter, Neb., demanded the banks cash,
and on the refusal of Cashier Barney
Schroeder to surrender it, shot the
latter In the breast, infiicting seri-
Gus but not fatal wound.
Cashier Schroeder was at the tel
ler's window when the robber ap-
peared. The latter presented a re-
volver and demanded the cash from
the safe. Cashier Schroeder refused
to turn over the money, and the rob-
Der fired at him, the bullet taking ef-
feet In the breast.
The robber jumped into a buggy
which he had left in a convenient
place, and made his escape. The cit
liens formed a posse at once and
started in pursuit OF the robber, who
was evidently alone.
Sheriff Carrig and posse captured
the robber nine miles west of Platte
Center. He was taken back and pos
itively identified by Schroeder, even
though he had changed his clothing
and removed glass eye that he was
wearing when he did the shooting
The bandit gives the name of Billy
Holden, and says he has been working
In the beet fields near Oconee for
about two months. His home, he says,
is in Michigan. He Is about 35 years
of age.

Woman Uses a Gun With Deadly
Effect

A community across the river from
Yorkvil,e, w. Va, was the scene of
a fatal feud between the family of
John Wallace and the Curry brothers.
Mrs. Wallace fired into a crowd that
was attacking her house and fatally
wounded Thomas Curry. The Curry
crowd then seized the brother Of Mrs.
wallace, bound him hand and foot and
laid his head upon log. One of the
Curry brothers was about to decapi-
tate the boy when Wallace fired into
the crowd and dispersed them. The
Curry crowd later resumed their at
tack, when Mrs Wallace was shot
twice. 1t Is estimated that about 500
shots were exchanged and that ten
members OF the mob we're badly in
jured. The Wallaces finally escaped.
