Assault with Intent 10 XIII

Herbert / Mason OF Canaan ~As AZ
rested, Thursday night Of lHsf week. Oh
complaint Of George Pottle, neighbor,
and arraigned In the municipal court,
Friday afternoon, on the charge OF as
sault with intent 10 kill. He pleaded not
guilty, but probable cause WAS found for
holding him for the September term Of
the supreme court.
The principal witnesses for the State
were the complainant, his mother, Mrs.
Anna Gleason, and Herbert Rand, who
testified that wiIhLu! provocation, Ma
son fired three shots from revolver at
fottie and Mrs. Gleason while they
were driving in front of Rand's house.
No defense WAC offered by counsel for
Mason. Hard cider evidently figured
conspicuoUsly 10 the case.
Tue alleged offender Is farmer resid-
ing in that town, about one mile from
the village; and the complainant, George
Pottle, is neighbor.
Mason has been before the courts be-
| fore for breach of the peace, and at one
time WAS under bonds To behave himself,
Pottle also being the complainant at that
time. The bad blood existing between
the two men, arose, 1t is said, from BUSH
ness dealings. Mason has worked for
| Pottle, butchering ut different times,
and II is understood among the neigh
bors that he had had some trouble with
the latter about his pay. A one time he
attached cargo of cattle which were
| shipped 10 Boston, belonging to Pottle,
and this circumstance, in connection
with others, has created more or less
| feeling between the men which hard
cider had no tendency TO allay.
According TO the complainants story,
he was driving home with his mother,
Mrs. Anna Gleason, and was about a
mile from the village when Mason held
them up in the road aud without any
warning fired three times from revolv-
er at them, none of the shots taking
effect. Mrs. Gleason was badly fright
ened at the occurrence and WIS taken
home in a hysterical condition. IL is
stated that there are two other witnesses
Of the shooting.
Mr.. Pottle drove to the village at once
and telephoned Sheriff Smith. who start
ed Tor the scene OF the occurrence, DOt
before he reached there the respondent
had already been taken into custody by
Deputy Sheriff Foster. Mason was found
by the side of the road In an intoxicated
condition, and made no resistance. In
his lap was 3S caliber revolver, six.
shooter, with every chamber loaded. A
search of his clothing led to the discov-
cry of three empty shells of the SAINT
caliber as the revolver, and one smaller
one. He was taken into the wagon with
the deputy sheriff, handcuffed, and
brought TO Jail.
On being brought out of his stupor, ht
denied that he had seen Pottle that day
or that he had shot at anybody. He de.
clared his arrest WAS an outrage. Fri
day he told one of the inmates of the iai
that he was out shooting woodchucks
He has retained Walton & Walton to de-
fend him.

Oil as Fuel.

One of the marked advantages which
comes from the use of oil as fuel on
ships is the great radius of action which
such vessels have without calling at
The steamer Arizonan. a modern steel
twin screw steamer, some 470 feet in
length. which was built at the Union
Iron Works at san Francisco, and is
the property of the American Hawaiian
Steamship Co, recently made the pass
age from Honolulu to Philadelphia
without stopping at any port for sup
plies. This is a voyage of some 1920
miles via Magellan strait, while around
the Horn it would be almost $1,000
miles. The average consumption of fuel
oil on the trip was about 5000 gallons
a day, a total consumption for the voy-
age of 10000 barrels. 1t is figured
that to have made the trip with coal
something like 5000 tons would have
been needed, which would have occu-
pied more space in the ship, space that
would have been taken from parts of
the vessel whore cargo could be carried.
There was an actual saving in weight
of almost one half Such figures would
appear to be so startling that our naval
authorities might well consider snbsti
tuting oil for coal on some of our large
vessels. Certainly it would materially
extend their radius of action. and we
have, during the Russian Japanese war,
been given frequent evidence of the
advantage to a ship of being able to
steam a long distance from her base,
and of the difficulty and expense of sup.
plying a cruising squadron with coal

Catarrhal Troubles Prevalent.
Spring Months Cause oatarFh
Breathe Hyomei, and Be Cured

Catarrhal troubles are more common
at this season than at any other time OF
the year. The sudden changes that
come during the spring months are pro
ductive of many cases of catarrh that
without proper treatment will become
chronic,
The peasantest, most convenient, and
only scientific method for the treatment
and cure of catarrh, is Hyomei. Simply
put twenty drops in the little pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit, and
then breathe it for three minutes four
times day.
The complete Hyome outfit costs but
one dollar, and az the inhaler will last a
lifetime and there is sufficient Hyomei
for several weeks treatment, it is the
most economical catarrhal remedy
known. Extra bottles can be procured
for fifty cents. Ask F. w. Bucknam to
show you the strong guarantee under
which he sells Hyomei.
