 New York, Dec. 5.-George W. Per- kins was to-day elected chairman of the Pere Marquette railroad. His elec- ton to the same office in the Cincin- natl, Hamilton and Dayton railroad makes him the executive head of the two properties. There have been no changes in the boards of these roads.

Morgan & Co.,, and with Russell Har- ding, who was for time identified with the Erie road. No details concerning the conference were obtainable.

Early Morning Murderous assault On
Bartender at DUNES Resort Has Un=
usual Features---Was it Robbery Or
Effort to KiH---Assaulter Wore Both
Masonic and Elk Pins

William Gibson, travelling man
well known in Spokane because of
the frequency of his business visits
to this city, walked into Dunn's sa-
loon, on Main avenue near Post, at 4
o'clock this morning, and after re-
questing some letter stationery
whacked William Boyd, the bart ender,
over the head with a part of buggy
axle.
Then cnsued a terrific fight between
Boyd and his assailant The partition
of stained walnut which enclosed the
safe and the table from which Boyd
was picking up the stationery to ac-
commodate his caller when the latter
drew down his bludgeon was wrecked
In the struggle between the lone bar
tender and the lone assaulter. Boyd
wrested the axle from the hand of his
assailant and forced him through the
barroom and to the front door,
sma shing the glass in the mechanical
piano on the way. The fight con-
tinued outside the door on the side
walk, whom the night man at the Pa
cific Transfer company noted the
struggle and rang for the police Be-
fore he could get to Boyd, Gibson had
managed to get away from the
and in that direction Policemen Rolf
and Lawson went.
Boyd had bled profusely from the

Under his contract with the county

therefor $3.50.
According to the itcmiZed bill pre-

CULVER of the local lillput pest mi
crobes Travelled an average of 1895
miles per day, and received pay at
the rate of $16.o5 per day
An examination of the itemiZcd bill
shows that the travelling was done
on Is out of the 81 days of the
month, Sundays included. That leaves
10 days remaining In the month. in
Guiding Sundays, when the county
fumigator did not have TO worry
about pest germs and was free to
do something toward earning the
other Sl00 per month the county COM
missioners paid him. Those 10 days
netted an average of s7.6S per day.
Further examination shows that on

triangular cut received from the axle,
and his jacket as exhibited this morn
ing was saturated with blood from
the collar to the neither hem. He
remained on duty until his employers
were notified and someone could come
and the place. Then he was taken
to his home and six stitches put in
the cut. While he was resting easily,
1t is feared that after-results may de-
velop into concussion of the BRAIN
1t was owing to the assistance of
Sapho, the crib woman, that the find
ing of Gibson Is due. Sapho was GO
ing home and noticed man bolt into
Davenports restaurant just as the
police came along. Rolf bounced onto
Gibson just as the latter was leaving
the toilet room. Gibson protested
that he could not be arrested and
flashed a badge. That did not make
any difference to Rolf and he took his
man to the station.
The official record says that SIS
cents and "other effects" were found
on the prisoner. The other effects
consist largely of letters indicating
the mans calling. He wore Ma
sonic badge and also one of the Elks.

kane for a Portland firm and who
has been drinking heavily for a few
days
There has been some talk of Glib
son having worn a false mustache
while he at Dunn's. Boyd's condition
is such that it is not thought we'll to
disturb him with reference to this, in
view of the fact that it is not neces-
sary to get this small item estab-
lished just at present. But if there
were a false mustache in the deal,
Gibson may have disposed of it while
in Davenport's toilet room, for the
employees there say that the closet
was flushed while Gibson was there.
The axle with which the blow was
dealt evidently came from the shops
on Front avenue. Gibson used the
part of it which was turned to receive
the bearing of the hub as a handle
and brought the remaining six inches
of the steel down on Boyd's head, in
ficting a terrible cut on the rear.
Gibson may have been out of
money and, on noticing that Boyd was
alone in the saloon, conceived the
idea of looking up a bludgeon. put
ting Boyd to the bad and getting
away with the contents of the cash
register. 1t was only Boyd's great
nerve and tremendous physical pow
ers which prevented Gibson's game
being carried out.
