The trial Of John Condty, rs
chief upon an appeal from the
mayors court was begun Monday
incoming. with Presenting Attor-
ney VIII 3. Morris and Mayor Har-
yey nv. Harmer representing the
city and state, and Hons. John
Basel and G. B. Speuy the de-
PENDANT.
Condry had been convicted before
the mayor of assembling with the
1fedsl1er girls at their home on
Locust street for an improper pur-
pose and fined $50 and sentenced
by the mayor to thirty days in jail.
From This CondrY appealed.
The hearing of the evidence con-
sumed the day and the arguments
will not be completed until some
time tomorrow. There was but
few sensational features about the
trial, probably the greatest being,
when Lulu Medsker on cross exam
nation refused to answer questions
put by Mr.. Harmer. The tilt was
a lively one and Mayor Harmer IN
a helpIess manner appealed to Judge
Lynch for help, but the Judge IN
formed him that he himself was inst
as helpless as all he could do would
be to send her back to jail, where
she had just come from. As she
left the witness stand she told, MT
Harmer she was going back to
where he ought to be, which remark
provoked a considerable ripple Of
amusement, which called forth yigg-
orous rapping by the. sheriff for or
der.
The defense's case IS that Lulu
Medsker wrote note to Condry the
evening Of the raid, informing nm
that she was boxing her household
goods for storage and requesting the
loan OF money to pay the stor9ge.
In response to this note, he hpal4y
went to her home, but INDUCED IN
no improper act.
At the opening Of the trial the
defense claimed the mayor exceeded
his authority, when he attempted
to punish CondTy. They asserted
that the ordinance of the city IN re-
gard to offenses of this kind is not
constitutional and that the city by
It's charter has no power or authoE-
ity for making and enforcing sucn
an ordinance. Judge Lynch, how
ever, overruled their contention add
the trial to proceed,
The evidence was concluded and
the jury found him guilty shortly
afterward.
Attorney j, E. Law was elected
special Judge to hear several cases

known in local musical circles.
The best talent to be found in the
city has been organized by Con-
ductor Evans and that he knows
his men and understands them
well was evidenced by his work
last night"
Utica, N. Y:
@Prof. II. G.. Evans began his
musical career at the age of z, and
since he was IA has been engaged
in orchestras, bands and in giving
musical instruction. He was
born in Ashland, Pa, in 1875.
For number of years he played
with theatrical orchestras and
travelled extensively. In 1896
he came to Johnstown and has
since been engaged in teaching.
He was engaged as leader and in
structor of the Daisytown band in
MAY, 1898, and when the Millville
Fire Company organized its band
last November he was engaged to
instruct it. In both positions he
has been successful and is held in
high eteem by the members Of both
organizations. He is also COM
poser Of acknowledged ability, and
has written a number of marches
for the local bands"
From Johnstown Democrat,
July issue, 1903:
On the occasion of the suDmer
concerts at Westmont park, the
Reed band will be augmented by
the City Concert band under the
direction of Prof. Fl. Geo. Evans
the public may be assured of rare
musical treats. Mr.. Evans is not

but is a composer of considerable
merit, one of his productions, HThe
Pan-American Exposition having
made a decided hit all over the
country. He originated the City
Corcert band and his association
of that organization with the
ohnstown Reed band, which Is
recognized as one of the best
musical organizations in the state,

located in this city, viii organize
concert band in this city, pro-
viding the talent can be found and
IN all probability enough can be
found to start with. Mr.. Evans
says it is the first city he has ever
been in that did not have band
of some kind, concert or otherwise
(due respects to the local eolored
band). Mr.. Evans comes highly
recommended both as a director
and pianist, as the following
clippings viii prove:
From the Johnstown Democrat:
Several thousand people were
out last night to hear the open air
concert by the City Concert band,
which made its bow to the public
at that time.
'SThe concert was given in the
park pavilion and the people who
heard it crowded to the streets adj
jacent to the park and stood close
about the pavilion. Conductor
II. G.. Evans had his players well
in hand and they played together
as though they had composed the
same band all their lives. The
large crowd was delighted by the
music and the admirable way in
which it was rendered and it was
the universal opinion that never
has a better Johnstown band been
organized. The playing has here
tofore been unexcelled by any band
in this city.

crowd was delightfully."- entertain

MAJ. OSBORN

Major Robert Linn Osborne, of

Virginia boys failed to carry off
the big prizes.

Major, with our rifles and few
boxes of matches with which to
take the shine from the top sight.
Then he stretched out on our
stomachs in good old-fashioned
mountain fashion and banged
away at the targets. Some of our
SQUAD have valises full of medals
for shootin', but we didn't need
any new yalises at Sea Girt.
awhile we were firing away and
feeling for the wind by instinct
the New York squad came up to
the line and began unloading para
phernalia. Tt seemed like each
nnarksman had wagonload OF
oimeracks. First he would put up
a CTlDOQ on WHICH uS
a long pole, on the top of which
was a set of cups, into which blew
the breeze. This was some sort OF
wind guage. Then they unloaded
thermometers, barometers and
telescopes. They did everything
but send man with a gimlet to
the target to bore hole in the
bulls eve and then send the bullet
.by special messenger to be plugged
into the hole.
earhat was too much for West
Virginia. Down our way there's
hardly man that can't bore
hole in silver dollar at 800 yards
or pick a feather from a buzzard

measure up with the Thermometer

puzzles me is what good that KIND

SEASON

y
The fast approaching football
season Is likely to be one of the
most interesting the general public
has yet experienced. Never in the
history Of the game have such radi-
cal, more necessary or better changes
been made.
The war against football is GER
tainly on the slump just now All
sensible colleges and amateurs have
again decided to go on with the
game, and to keep it cleaner and
better than ever before.
Everything has been done That
can be done by rules to clean up the
present game. By this it. IS not
meant that theSe will never be any
more mean or brutal playing, that
would be absurd, for as long as foot
ball remains a game of personal cons
tact and shock action, there is bound
to be individual lapses IN temper
and fairness. but it is maintained
that under the new rules the OBJ
jectionable features should be re-
duced to a great extent
The first thing 10 do in starting
"A football season is to get enough
money from the good people Of the
town for uniforms. 1t is up to
every citizen to give something ;.
every one loosen. up and help.
ssEyery little helps" A very Inn
portant meeting is to be held to-
night at HoIden's big dye works,
100 Fourth street, fol. the purpose
of eleeting a captain and manager.
Every one is requested to be there
promptly at . 80 p. M
When the dust is on the pigskin
And the knockers on the knock,

And the work 1t gives the Doc;
Just watch and wait few days
more,
And let the scoffers scott,
For then we'll hear the Tigers yell,
AS old Clock" is kicking oil.

pupils enrolled IN the school and
the number of ffrst-cIass pianists
and teachers turned ont by him
proves this assertion. Mr. Evans
can furnish hundreds Of festimon-
ials as to his abilities, but space
viii not permit to use more than
those mentioned above, which IL
sufficient to show the citizens of
Clarksburg that they have man
who has the experience and ability
to form and maintain band
which viii be credit to this city.
Mr.. Evans would like to get the
citizens interested IN this move
and any suggestion they could Of
fer personally or through the
columns of the city newspsPers)
would have his kind consideration.
There are several things to think
of in the organization of a band.
1t is universally understood that
any kind of an organization that
is under direct expense cannot ex-
ist without financial aid from
some direction or other, rs for IN
stance we have hall rent, lights,
music, uniforms, etc, etc, which
has been learned from experience
is a hard and long task to obtain

can't we get up a subscription list
as they do in most all other towns
and cities? I can mention sever
al places where the citizens sup
port band. Why cams it be done
here? Let us get together and APP
point some reliable person 10 ac-
cept subscriptions; also to appoint
a board of directors, selected from
among our citizens and have the
band under the direct control of
directors at all times, and | think.
in a very short time the citizens of
Clarksburg will have an organIza-
ton to be proud of.
I would like to hear from all
musicians playing any kind OF
band instrument. I can be seen
at the Daily Telegram Office at any
time during the day or applica-
tions can be addressed to Cos Dale

Are Out

Samuel and Diller B. Croft, two
of the prominent Washington peo-
pie doing time in the penitentiary
at Moundsville, were released Mon
day morning. They were sent up
for Two years and the usual reduc-
ton for good behavior cuts the
time down to about eighteen months
In addition to the term in prison
the brothers were fined $4,000
each. IT is understood that their
friends were prepared to pay the
fines. Tt is expected that the
Groffs will return to Washington
Immediately.
Machen, who went to the prison
with the Groffs, will not get his
freedom for some time yet, he hav-
ing a longer term to serve, and Geo.
W. Beavers and DR.. Iorenz will re
main to keep him company, they
not having beenlbrought to the peni-
Tertiary until last year.
The Groffs, Machen, Beavers and
DIR. L1orenz were convicted Of con-
spiracy to defraud the government
or rather of perfecting a graft
scheme in the matter of furnishing
certain supplies. Tt is the opinion
of most persons familiar with the
matter that but one of the Grotfs
should have been convicted.
