Many of these petitions have been turned in before now, but as ffe- quently happens with older people, some much desired article has sbeen overlooked, and supplementary order 1 must be sent.

 The ladies of the Ketchikan Library Association have at last become thoroughly discouraged at the treat nent they are receiving at the hands of some of the unprincipled, dishonor- able patrons of the library, and unless there is a noted improvement in the conduct of these persons within the next thirty days, have decided to keep open the free reading room at hose hours only when the librarian is on duty. This will, of course, com pei the innocent to suffer for the acts If a few guilty ones. At present the ladies cannot afford to keep librar- ian in attendance all day, which they would be compelled to do if the dis honest treatment now being accorded them is continued. They cannot afford to keep watch continuously on guard E to prevent books from heinz carried away, and cannot put 'upderF lock. and key the encyciopaedlae and'"other rel erepce books, as it~would prevent their being used. The latest deprea dation consisted in the breaking open of the voluntary contribution box aud the carrying away of what money was in it together with one of set of valuable reference books which can uot now be repalced. It may be questioned, if indeed, the people of the town are deserving of the efforts the ladies are making to maintain a public library and free reading room for their benefit.

SE]T IN QUARREL
OVER A WAGON
c. J. Ayres Receives Serious
Injuries at Hands of
Bert Blue.
BOUND OVER TO COURT.
BLUE PLACED UNDER $500 BOND,
BEING ACCUSED OF ASSAULT
AND BATTERY WITH INTENT
TO KILL.

Cambridge City, Ind, Oct 3.-Bert
Blue was arraigned in the court of
Squire Swain today and bound over to
the circuit court on a bond of $500
He is accused of assault and battery
upon c. j. Ayres, with intent to kill
The stories told by Ayres and Blue
in the Justices court were directly op-
posite. Ayres claims Blue was un.
provoked and Blue claims he fought
Ayres and finally shot him in self-de-
fense.
The trouble took place on the farm
of Ayres, which is located between
Milton and Centerville. Blue shot
Ayres with revolver. The ball en-.
tered the cheek below the eye. The
injury is not necessarily serious.
According to the stories told in
court, Blue called at the Ayres farm
yesterday morning and controversy
with Ayres followed Blue claimed
Ayres was using wagon that be-
le6ged to him without permission. The
wagon was loaded with hay and Blue
ordered Ayres to unload it at once.
The discussion that ensued waxed
warm. Blue claimed the wagon was
his and used by him while a tenant on
the farm before Ayres purchased it.
The argument progressed until a fight
started. Blue claims Ayres attacked
him with pitchfork and Ayres says
Blue was not provoked. The trouble
ended when Blue shot. ...-
Ayres drove into Milton, about six
miles distant to seek the services of
a physician. He stopped before the
house of Willard Wissler and appeared
in great physical distress. Clyde Lev.
erton went to his aid and caught him
1lst as he swooned. The wound was
dressed and the injured man after.
ward was removed to Dublin.

"There is little doubt but that many
of the business men or Richmond hon

been the result of the reports that
have gone abroad the foult lies entirely

induced the Commercial Club to take

favorable rates as in any other city

BREWERS WORKING
TO DEFEAT WATSON
His Leadership of Battle for
County Local Option
The Cause.
FINAL DESPERATE EFFORT.
sALOONISTS HOPE TO HAVE OP.
TON BILL REPEALED AND ARE
SUPPORTING MARSHALL AS
THEIR FRIEND.

Indianapolis, Oct. 3.-Unable to ov-
ercome the forces that were demand
ing the enactme Mt Of the county local
option law, the brewery combine has
set about to defeat James E. Watson,
the republican nominee for governor.
1t was learned here today on re-
liable authority that their plan is te
concentrate their efforts against Wat
son and to let the rest of the republi-
can state ticket alone. By doing so
they believe that they can induce
enough republicans who were not for
county local option to vote against
Watson and accomplish his downfall.
The fact that Mr.. Watson has led
his party's fight for county local op-
ton is the reason for this plan of the
brewery bosses. The latter know that
it will be impossible for them to
bring about the repeal of the county
local option law unless they can car
ry the state by an overwhelming ma.
jority for the democrats. However,
they want to retaliate on the republi-
can party by defeating it's candidate
for governor. They are appealing to
liberal republicans on the ground that
their party will not be hurt if Watson
is defeated and Marshall elected, as
the senate is almost sure to be re-
publican and Marshall could do moth.
ing with it against him.
The plan is an adroit one and is
being pushed by every member of the
brewery alliance. The latter has its
agents at work here and the word is
being sent to every large city to the
brewery forces to get busy
While the brewery bosses are saying
that they know that they will not be
able to repeal the county local option
bill, and that they merely want to de-
feat Watson in order to get even, it is
known that they do have hopes of be-
ing able to amend the temperance
laws if they can succeed in electins
Marshall governor Marshall. up to
this time. has refused to say whether
or not he would sign a bill to repeal
the county local option law, and as
long as he remains in that attitude the
brewery alliance feels that it is safe
to support him. 1t is known that the
brewers are desperate and that they dc
not propose to let the county optior
law become effective II they can heir
