market declined, but remained within mar
row limits all day. With December below
spot prices, which held unchanged de-
spite a large movement, the market s
downward progress was small. The drop

ticipation of new fluctuations about to be-
gin. The closing was steady, to points

Treacherous White.

senator Dick won out at the
state convention but not with the
help Of Boss Whites delegates.
1t has now percolated from the
inner sanctum or holy of holes
that Boss White on the streets of
Logan before the state convention
tried to make deal to switch
Hocking's four votes, hide, tallow,
etc., to the insurgents, Daugherty
and Burton. White Is ungrateful
for the past acts of Senator Dick
in lifting him out Of the morass of
complete political obliteration in
Hooking county in the recent past.
Can Boss Whites unsavory repu-
tation suffer more than his recent

The people of Murray City were startled Thursday
might about IL oclo TX by shots being fired the
saloon door of James Young and soon to learn that
Marshal Baynham had shot the saloon man to death
The Marshal Immediately went into the custody of the
night marshal and drove to Logan, and gave himself
up to the sheriff. The Marshal had shot mark in
his coat, the ball having pierced bunch of letters
and pass book but did not break the skin his
body. The ball 32, lodged in his coat pocket
The story told by the Marshal is that he had
come down from the Opera House, and standing
the foot of the stairs the saloon door Of James
Young, A fellow trying to buy some liquor of
Young and the latter refused with very un-
complimentary remarks in hearing of the Marshal
Baynham retorted that he attending his duties
when the saloon man began cursing him. The officer
then attempted to the saloon for disorder
ly conduct, when the saloon man pulled gun and
told him to stand back The officer pulled his
volver at the same time and both fred then the
Marshal fired second time. The saloon fell
and died in few minutes, struck by both shots in
the stomach The Marshal believed himself to be
hit and seriously wounded in his excitement, but
when he got home, found the ball had not penetrated
his skin his life being saved by vhe bunch of letters
and pass book in his pocket
Feeling ran high, and Baynham's friends advised
him to go TO Logan. He was subsequently charged
by Young's friends with murder, and waived exami-
nation before Squire Murphy and was bound over to
the grand jury, special of which will be called i'm
mediately.
There has be bad feeling among the saloon
men in Murray & inst Marshal Raynham because he
is prosecuting their misdemeanors and this out come
has been predicted. The saloon he killed had
previously been arrested by him and paid fine for
after-bour selling. The affair is unfortunate but
the Marshal insists that the homicide was wholly
iusti6able
