to catch the insane man so Friday
night in company with Turnkey Har-
ris he drove TO Abingdon. where the
horse and rig were left and then they
walked to the Holler home.
Found i'm Chicken House.
As the sheriff and his turnkey
stealthily entered the gate a dog made
an attack on them but before he could
emit many yelps the animal was sill
enced by blow from the sheriffs
mace. II was hoped To capture Holler
in the house, so Harris took up his
post on the rear porch while Meredith
entered the house by side door. The
house was searched by the sheriff but
no trace of the insane man was found.
As Meredith opened the back door to
consult with Harris the sturdy turn

Holler held something In his hands

Meredith made rush for him. In

while the dog, which had tasted the
sheriff's mace. brought up the rear,
yelping at each step. Over fields and
meadows sped pursued and pursuers.
After a quarter of mile chase the
sheriff sprinted like a rabbit. collided
with a wire fence and was eliminated
from the chase by being deposited In
a clump of raspberry bushes.
Took Desperate Chance.
A minute or two after Meredith han
met with this misfortune Holler de-

Harris neared him Holler swung his

Those in Charge of Reid Men,

tighten City Council to the
Fullest Extent.
AROUSED BY LATEST
VETO OF THE MAYOR.
Contend Hospital Is Public
One and Deserving of Mu-
nicipaI Support-DraW the
Line on Politics.

At a meeting he'd Friday evening by
the trustees of Reid Memorial hospital.
TO consider the action of Mayor Rich
ard SchilIinger in vetoing the ordi-
nance passed by council appropriating
$500 for the hospital, a communica-
fion was prepared which will be pre-
scented Monday night at the city coun-
Gil meeting.
This communication will give the
councilmen all the facts and figures
concerning the cost of maintaining the
institution and it will be pointed out
that the support of the city is essential
IN maintaining the hospital
Is Public Institution.
City Attorney Study has intimated
that Reid hospital is not a public, but
q private institution, and for that rea-
son the city of Richmond should meet
only the expenses of the sick poor actu-
ally cared for at the institution. In
the communication that is to be sub
mitted by the trustees to the council.
exceptions will be taken to the stand of
in positive language that Reid hospital
is a public institution and should re-
ceive liberal municipal support, not
only for the care of the sick poor, but
also for its maintenance.
Statement by Mr.. Rupe.
President John L. Rupe, of the board
of trustees. states that in other cities,
municipal hospitals are provided for
and the total cost OF the maintainance
of these hospitals met by the city gov
.ernments. Mr.. Rupe states that the
Reid hospital is as much municipal
institution as any owned and main
tanned by other cities. and the financial
support asked of the city by the hos
pftal is small in comparison with the
expenses of hospitals built and main
tanned in other cities.
Can Be No Politics.
Mr.. Rupe also states that if the ad-
1liEistration is dissatisfied with the
management of the hospital, it has but
to pass the word and its objections will
be considered. However. the trustees
will never submit to having the institu-
iion placed in politics.
1t is asserted by many that corircil

Jog Monday night because that bo1y
realizes the people of this city arc thol-
oaghly in favor of the institution re- |

SHlPYARD WILL BUY
THE TUG DAUNTLESS
Boat Is to Be Used Exclusively for
Handling Vessels Around
Yard Pliers.

II was officially announced yes
terday that the Newport News
Sh.pbuiMLng 6 Dirk Dock Company
will purchase the steel steam tug
Dauntless, of Norfolk, from Mt
Blshby, OF Savannah, Ca, her pres
ent owner. The purchase price has
not been made public.
The sale has practically been
consummated but the bill of sale
has not been filed. The Dauntless
came here from Norfolk last week
and has since been employed Ground
the shipyard towing boats from
per to pier as necessary.
Tho Dauntless Is one OF the best
KNOWN towboats around Hampton
Roads. having been Stationed at Nor.
fork for several years. during, which
time she was engaged in the gen
eral towing trade between that city,
Newport News and the Virginia
Capes.
In the future the tug will be main.
tanned by the shipyard and will
be used exclusively in work around
the yard, towing vessels from their
anchorage in the harbor to the ship
building plant and moving vessels
from one shipyard pier to another.
This work should keep the towboat
busy most of the time, as scarcely
a day passes that several large or
small craft are not moved about
the shipyard waterfront. The need
of tug has long been felt at the
yard, but it was only recently de-
cided to purchase such a craft
Heretofore all of the shfpyad tow
Ing has been done by the Chesa-
penke & Ohio tugs.
The Dauntless is about eight years
old, measures ITO feet over all and

The Norfolk and Atlantic Termi-

Company has chartered two big
steamers, with a carrying capacity
OF $500 each, to rum between OH
