BOUT WITH CRAZY MAN.
Operator Shirley Had Unpleasant Elk
perience In His Tower.

A night or two ago 4 man without
shoes or hat suddenly entered the
telegraph tower at Hobbs station,
along the Baltimore & Ohio about IL
miles east OF this city. and his actions
led Operator Shirley. who was on duty
at the time, to believe the man crazy.
The man was inclined to be violent,
and fearing bodily injury the operator
induced the fellow to enter the base
ment of the tower, where he was lock
ed up. When he found himself a
prisoner the man became greatly en-
ragged, and made an effort to overturn
the furnace. Detective Martin was
sent for, but before he arrived the
crazy man had succeeded in forcing
the door and escaping.

the county petit.oned the court to CON
struct a new road leading from the
road running from Tablers to the
Chrales Town turnpike, distance OF
about a mile and half. and the court
H. J Cushwa and r.. J..
Miller to investigate and report back.
The report was unfavorable, the com

81 900 to build the road, which would
work hardship on one OF the farmers,

the road will not be built.

 Notice of appeal will be sent at once to Judge Landis and Attorneys Patrick c. Haley and Emil c. Wet ten expect to have the appeal per- fected within. two weeks. Whether the appeal will be taken to the Unit ed States supreme court or to the United States circuit court of appeals has not been decided definitely.
 In his address Dowie appeared to be more concerned over Judge Landis' denunciation of the Restoration host oath" as reasonable than any other point in the opinion. He de- clared that the judge himself in his oath of office was compelled to put God above man and family ties.
 With regard to the trust estate finding. he declared that he had nev- CT received money as trustee, but that 1t was always simply a matter of contract. evidenced in writing, showing all payments to be debts, payable in one year on call.
 If the election ordered by Judge Landfs be carried out, he said, the people of Zion will be violating the whole theocratic idea. the very foun- dation stone of the church. He en- phasized that the people had not call ed nor placed him as head of. the church, but that he as Gods chosen man had admitted each individuai member into the church. He held further that Judge Landis erred in confining the vote to those living in Z.on City These constitute only one fourth of the entire church, and thereby three-fourths of the members are prevented from having a voice as to their spiritual leader.
 Simultaneously with the Dowie meeting 0verseer yoliva conducted the regular Sunday services at the tabernacle. The meeting was attend- ed by $500 persons. Those who came in expectation of hearing the over seer and other leaders express them selves with regard to the receiver ship and Judge Landis' decision were disappointed. for not once did voltya make even the slightest reference to the new conditions.

GETTING AFTER STANDARD Federal Grand JuIy at Chicago Win Get After Some of Its High
 Officials Soon
MOODY HAS AIDS AT WORK

Chicago, July 3O.-When the fed eral grand jury convenes in Chicago one week from to-day steps will be taken toward forging a complete chain of evidence against the Stand ard Oil Go and some of its high off, cials which the government prose- cutors hope will lead to indictments and prosecutions under the anti-re- bate law.
 To this end Attorney General Moody has had some of his best legal talent at work here for several days analyzing the evidence taken before the grand jury at Cleveland a few weeks ago and preparing line of procedure that will fortify the testi- mony already adduced. The chief task of weaving net about those al legged to be guilty of law breaking will fall to the lot of J. J. Sullivan, district attorney for the northern dis trict of Ohio, who was in charge of the investigation into the relations of the Standard Oil Go and railroads at Cleveland.
 Others who will take part In the proceedings will be district Attorney c. B. Morrison. recently assigned to take special charge of prosecutions in monopoly cases, Special Agent T. O.. M. Schindler of the federal depart ment of commerce and labor, who la bored for many months under the direction of Commissioner Garfield in gathering material for the latter's re- port on the transportation of oil throughout the United States; Attor- ney General o. E. Pagin and Assist ant District Attorney Francis Han chett.
 The proceedings will be based upon deals between the company and rail- roads for the handling of its product and the charges made for the same as compared with the rate fixed for independent concerns. There will be also evidence concerning alleged discrimination in the matter of stor- age charges in favor of the oil com pany.

 Robert Pearce, years old. the only survivor of the tragedy, who was shot through the body, will be brought to the Canonsburg general hospital in an effort to save his life.
 Many neighbors flocked to the des- plated home to-day. Pearce, the be- reaved husband and father. is still there. While imprecations were ut tered against the young negro, no violence was offered to him up to the time he was taken from here on the street car.
