McGraw is a white man and Is charged with assaulting John Beshear, fellow employe in the steel plant with rod of iron about two weeks ago, Beshear received a blow on the side of the head that was considered very serious for a few days his condition was critical McGraw was arrested and lodged in the city Jail but when Beshear showed signs of recovery he was released on $500 bond. The preliminary trial has been con- tinued from time to time on account of Beshear's inability to attend court. The cases against w. T. Allen and John Dugan were continued until Wednesday morning to allow Allen to secure certain witnesses.
