CHANGE OF VENUE
TO CENTERVILLE
THE MCCLELLAN ASSAULT AND
BATTERY CASE
GOESTO SQUIRE HARVEY
The Date of Trial Set for September
21-Claim There is Prejudice
in the Case Here.

There was a large assemblage OF
persons at the city building this morn
ing, some as witnesses and others as
spectators in the assault and battery
case against Theodore Mcclellan.
The ease has been rather muddled in
as much as charges were filed against
Mr.. Mcclellan In police court and
also in Squire Spink's court. Con-
stable Clay claims to have made the
arrest first and Patrolman Staubach
makes the same claim. However, the
case was called in police court this
morning. Prosecutor Comstock and
assistant, Robert L. Study, repre-
sented the State and Attorney Will
fred Jessup for the defense.
On the affidavit of Mr.. Mcclellan
that he could not be given fair trial
in this court on account OF the pre-
judicep that exists in the case, a
change of venue was granted to Squire
Harvey's court in Centerville, and the
date of trial Set for Wednesday,
September 2l.
1t is understood the prosecutor will
ask change of venue from the
Centerville court to circuit court.
There are a large number Of witnesses
subpoenaed and the trial will be a
hard fought one.

Mr.. S. A. Thompson S Compositions t,
Be Rendered Here by Sousa.

Mountain Elves and "March of the
National Guard The latter has a
very pleasing effect, beginning softly

Thompson paid fitting compliment
to Mr. Henry Runge who added little
friezes of ''Star Spangled Banner
"Dixie,' "Auld Lang Syne' and
"Yankee DOODLE Whatever success
and pleasure may come from the rem
dition of these compositions, Mr..
