Sheriff Linus Meredith has been ap-
prised of the fact that hereafter ne is
entitled to grand jury baliffs fees,
where men were summoned from this
county to appear before juries of 9th
er counties in state cases. Meredith
received this information from fell
low sheriff who resides in Monroe
county, who desires a fee of $3.50 for
summoning a young man by the name
of Hunt who was attending Indiana
University TO appear before the
Wayne county session. No official in
formation from state officers has been
received on the subject, but Meredith
will investigate the case and see il he
cannot secure fees for this kind OF SER

Board of Works Orders Street
SCraping Put in Front of
Charles Homestead.
COMPLAINT MADE BEFORE.
PHYSICIANS CLAIM THE PRAc-
TlCE is LIKELY TO CARRY d.
sEAsE TO PERSONS WHO USE
WATER CREsS FROM THE GLEN.

Men hauling street ScrapingS in
Richmond are now dumping them in
the gully in front OF the old Charles
homestead on the national road, near
the Glen entrance, having received
such orders from the board of public
works. 1t is hoped to fill that present
unsightly place to a level with Main
street.
The plan created considerable ex-
element when it was first inaugural
ed in the fall of 1906, as physicians
made public their claim that scrap
ings, trash and even slops and diseas-
ed rags were being thrown in the
dump. making it a veritable hotbed of
contagion. They claimed that all
waters trickling through this, passed
into the small stream running at the
west end of the gully. down through
Glen Miller park and directly over the
water cress which grows abundantly
there. and of which many Richmond
people eat.
1t was claimed that disease could
not but result from dumping the re-
fuse at that point. The physicians as
sertions. that this would be the case
were denied by the board of works
most emphatically and the dumping
continued. During the recent summer
months grass seed was sown and all
last years dumpings are now almost
entirely covered by green sward
Without a large and entirely unneces-
sary expense this manner of filling
the present gulch is the only way it
can be done. is the boards claim

Archie Livingston, Employed
BY Senator Brown, Testi-
fies in Bradley Case.
ADVISED HER TO MARRY.
DRAMATIC INCIDENTS MARKED
THE PROGRESS OF THE TRIAL
ON TUESDAY-DEFENS REST
ED THAT AFTERNOON.

Washington. Nov. 21.-Archio Liv-
ingston, who was Senator Brown S
clerk, and is now employed by Max
Brown, testified today in the Bradley
case that Brown often told him to lie
to Mrs. Bradley. He told her it would
be a good thing for her to marry
Brown if she could stop his drinking,
but he didn't think she could.
Dramatic scenes marked the pro-
ceedings Tuesday. DR.. Britton ID. Evans
of New York. the alienist, who testi-
fed in the ThaW case. not only declar-
ed that Mrs. Bradley was insane when
she shot Senator Brown, but entered
with such vigor in defending his opin
ion and in denunciation of the conduct
of the dead senator that Justice Stat
ford reminded the witness that the late
Senator Brown was not on trial and
not there to defend himself, and ad-
monished him to refer to the dead
man only when necessary to show the
effects Of his acts upon the mind of
the defendant.
The defense rested its case Tuesday
noon and it came in the nature of Il
surprise, as it had been expected that
the alienist would be kept on the stand
for a much longer period
The appearance on the stand of
Max Brown, son of the dead senator,
who was called in rebuttal. was af-
fecting in the extreme. The young
man. tall, slender and fragile of ply
sique, tottered as he made his way to
the witness stand He carefully
avoided looking toward the defendant,
who sat within ten feet of him.
Mrs. Bradley Laughs at Incident.
When he told of seeing his father
and Mrs. Bradley in the kitchen Of
| their home with jars of fruit they had
brought from the cellar. at a time
when his mother had been called away
from the city to the bedside Of h az
dying sister. the defendant laughed
and lowered her head in confusion
But there were no signs of merriment
on the face of the witness. VIII. re-
piled briefly to all questions put TO
HIM and lowered his eyes during in
tervals in the giving of his testimony.
DR.. Charles B. Hill, professor of ner-
vous and mental diseases in tn Balti-
more Medical college, declared that in
his opinion Mrs. Bradley was insane
when she did the shooting. The Grim
nal operations performed on her. the

thought she shot Senator Brown inten-

was doing right in so doing.

The grand jury, which has been in

CLASS RUSH ENDS
WITHOUT ADVAN TAGE
Freshies and Sophs. Got To-
gether at EarIham for
A Short Time.
VAIL SAVES HIS PLAYERS.
GOVERNOR MENDENHALL THEN
TOOK A HAND AND SPEEDILY
ENDED THE CoNFLICT-cHAL-
LENGE TO FOOTBALL GAME.

A time honored custom was reviv
ed this morning at Earlham. The
Freshman class appeared at breakfast
with their class colors tied or sewed
to their coat lapels. This is always
signal for class scrap between the
two lower classes and the sophomores
accepted the challenge with a willing
spirit.
They left the dining room early and
when at the close of the hour, the
freshman boys came through the ves-
tibule. they were met and a fierce
struggle ensued
At first the fight went wholly for the
sophomores, they having the most ag-
gressive men and many of the fresh
les lost their colors, the whole lapel
being torn off where the colors were
sewed on. But the Freshmen had
planned the affair we'll. They knew
that the next day the Earlham team
would play Butler. They also knew
that the sophomores had many men on
the varsity football squad who would
not be allowed to participate in the
scrap if seen.
Vail to the Rescue.
When Coach Vail came from the
dining room he sized things up in a
hurry. Jumping into the midst of the
scramble he siezed the sophomore foot
bali men, one by one by the collar and
dragged them out. His one statement
was, IF you play tomorrow keep out
of this today In this way about
ed of, and the freshmen had the odds
greatly In their favor. The scrap was
soon stopped by Governor Menden-
hall and all Joined in giving college
yells. The spirit of the two classes is
TO be commended. All differences
were forgotten when the college yells
were started, and the "Rah! Rah! Qua
kers," was given with a will
Challenge by sophs.
Later a challenge was posted by the
sophomOres to the effect that the two
classes participate in a football game
on December 7. If the freshies dc
not turkey" the sOphomores will
have an excellent opportunity to even
up matters, there being so many var.
sity men among them.

SEVERAL BOTTLES TAKEN
TO BE FULLY EXAMINED.
There Is a Heavy Penalty At
tached to Selling Whiskey

When 1t Does Not Come Up

Names of the Offenders Not
Known.

Two United States revenue officers
quietly came into the city Monday af-
ternoon and as the result of their mis-
sion it is said that at least seven sa-
loon keepers and retailers of WhSkey
will suffer through the Investigations
carried on by the men who worked
all day Tuesday in Richmond. The
men were A. NJ. Lee and A. A. Phil

was to test all whiskics sold in Rich

ascertain whether or not adulterationS

The men were very mysterious in
their work, and about all the informa-

made by the ''revenuers." I'VE will

trip over the city necessitated the
purchase of a large market basket, in
which to carry adulterated whiskies
back to Indianapolis where further
tests will be made and from which
point indictments MAY be returned
against local men by the federal grand
Jury.
When whiskies are bottled under
bond, the government stamp is placed
on the bottles. 1t is an OffenSe sub

and a penitentiary sentence of not
more than two years. to be caught

There is no accurate information
pertaining to the number of saloon
keepers who were caught up by the
government officers, other than that
given by saloon keepers themselves,

They say that seven saloonists were
found to be selling the inferior quality
of whiskey under the government s
stamp of approval. Phillips and Lee,
the officers, absolutely refused to I'M

They left Richmond Tuesday night.
In the meantime several local sa-

seat until their samples are examined
carefully and until they know whether
or not they will be subject to federal
indictments.
