BATTLE FOR FLAG
Seniors and Juniors Have a
Conflict Over CoIors of
The Former Class.
RAMPANT WAS STORMED.

At the banquet rendered the men,
bers of the junior class of high school
by the members of the senior class,
which event was held at l. O. O. F. hall
last night, a row ensued, and as re-
suit the juniors captured the senior
banner. About seven o'clock six jun
iors invaded the hall, which was only
garrisoned by two seniors, John Glenn
ents and Emmett Bartel
When these two noticed the ap-
proach of the attacking party they tore
down the banner and threw it over the
partition which separates the cloak
room and the room used for kitchen.
Bartel and Clements then mounted to
the top of the partition with the inten-
tion of defending the banner from the
communicating hands Of the juniors.
Scorning such an obstacle as a thin,
wood partition. which lacks about
three feet from reaching the ceiling,
the juniors rushed to the attack and
scaled the rampant, which was sur
mounted by a strand of barbed-wire.
Clements and Bartel valiantly attempt.
ed to repulse the attack, but only sue
ceeded in getting hurled off the parti-
tion head first. The invaders then
dropped down into the kitchen and Sc
cured the seniors banner. Both at
tackers and defenders had their hands
considerably scratched by the barbed-
wire.
After this outbreak of hostilties the
hatchet was buried by the two classes
and the remainder of the evening was
spent in dancing and feasting The
stolen banner is still on the missing
list. The juniors took US by sur
prise. If we had known they were
coming SO soon We would have had a
larger force on hand to defend the
hail. stated Clements today. The
fair co-eds of the senior class hail
dement's and Bartel as heroes.

Man Who Attempted to Kill
His Father Asks for His Re-
lease From His Place of
Confinement.
AUTHORITIES THINK HIM
SANE, BUT ARE AFRAID.
Thought That as He Has Been
Declared Insane, They
Have No Authority to Allow
The Man His Freedom.

Deserted by all the members of his
family, except an aunt who lives in
Orange county, and strenuously deny
ing that he is insane, Harry Marshall
Jail since last April, wants to be re-
leased His aunt, Mrs. Sparks, states
but Sheriff Meredith refuses to free
him for legal reasons, and Superin-
sane hospital refuses to admit him to
that institution at the present time
because there is no room for him.
Judge Fox states that inasmuch as
Marshall has been adiudged insane,
the court has no authority to act in
his case.
In the circuit court this morning,
Marshall had asked him to work in
his behalf. Mr.. Robbins stated that
he thought the man ought to be re-
leased from Jail and said that he un-
derstood that the young mans grand
father was willing to provide IA home
for him. When Marshall was brought
into court he stated that his grand
father had never told him that he
would care for him; that his father.
Grant Marshall, had ignored him and
that he appeared to be deserted by
all his relatives except his aunt, Mrs.
Sparks. who had told him he could
live with her.
Mr.. Robbins said that he really did
not see how the young man could be
released from Jail as he had been ar
rested on a criminal charge. shoot
ing with the intention of killing his
father. and that later he had been ad-
Judged insane and ordered held at the
Jail pending admission TO Easthaven.
MI Robbins thought that it might be
possible tC release him if one of his
relatives would provide a home for
him. Judge Fox stated then that he
would have no authority to take such
action and Sheriff Meredith protested
against it, Il am held responsible
for him and until | receive a proper
order for his release | intend to hold
him at the Jail. Personally l do not
think he is insane as he has never
acted that way in JAIL stated the
sheriff. Meredith is of the opinion
that it will be necessary for Marshall
70 be admitted to Easthaven before
he can be given his liberty.
Prosecutor Jessup stated that he
had interested himself on behalf of
the young man but to no avail. He
said that the father refused to do any
thing for the boy and insisted that he
be held in custody for fear that if he
was released he would make another
attempt on his life. The prosecutor
stated that Marshall suffered from
emotional insanity and that he
thought he could be cured by having
his skull trephiued. He said that
Grant Marshall has promised to pay
the costs of having such an operation
performed on his son, but that he had
refused to do this.

BEAUTY FOUND DEAD
Natica Rives Burden Met
Death by InhaIing
Gas Fumes.
SUICIDE HAS BEEN DENIED.

New York, Feb. 22-Mrs. Natica
Rlves Burden, aged %, one of the
most prominent young society ma
irons of this city, was found dead in
her handsome residence, sos Fifth
avenue, yesterday afternoon. She
was very warm personal friend of
Alice Roosevelt Longworth and was
as well known in Washington and
European capitals as in New York.
Her father was o. H. p. Belmont,

mer Corporation Counsel Rives of
New York. She was married to Will
liam 7. Burden, prominent in society
and millionaire many times over,
but six months ago. Her married life
was considered happy.
Her death was occasioned by gas
poisoning. The family say it was an
accident. They assert that Mrs. Bur
den had been i'll for some time and
that her sick room was heated by a
gas stove. In some manner the tube
was disconnected
able that her luxurious bedroom in one
of Fifth avenues handsomest man
sions would be heated by cheap gas
stove. The coroner has no other IN
formation, and reporters have been
refused admission az the home.

TRAIN IN SN0WDR|FT
c., c. & L. Passenger Train
In Northern Indiana
Stranded.
CAN MOVE NEITHER WAY.

Showed in and probably not out yet,
is the experience of Conductor Beck
schultz and his crew on a c.. c. & L..
passenger, which since early Wednes-
day morning has been stalled in a snow
drift between Merrillville, and Beat
rice, about thirty-five miles south of
Chicago.
The train left Cincinnati Tuesday
night at 8 O'Clock. The train passed
Beatrice, Ind, when to their surprise,
the engine crew discovered they could
go no further. After struggling for
several hours they tried to go back to
Beatrice and found this also was i'm
possible. There, in this position the
train has been standing ever since, un-
able to move a foot. The last dispatch
received fro mthat point said the train
had as yet been unable to get out. A
large number of men is employed dig
ging the train out. and it was thought
tat they might succeed in getting out
this afternoon.

OR|SCHEL. ARRESTED
Cambridge City Marshal, Ac-
cused of Assault and
Battery.
TOWN BOARD is ANGRY.

Yesterday afternoon Marshal Dan
Drischel of Cambridge City, came to
Richmond and Immediately called up
on Sheriff Meredith. who arrested him
on an affidavit. filed in the circuit
court by Prosecutor Jessup, charging
him with assault and battery on Will
liam Armstrong, an employe of the
Starr Piano company. Drischel was
released on bond. No date for the
hearing of his case has yet been set
Drischel denies that he assaulted
Armstrong.
When the statment was made to one
OF the members of the town board of
Cambridge City that Prosecutor Jes-
sup would appear before the board and
demand the dismissal of DrischeI be-
cause he had attempted to collect an
illegal fee, the board member referred
to, stated that such action on the part
o. the prosecutor would be resented by
the board.
We will not thank the prosecutor
for interfering in our own business.
We feel that we are capable of acting
on the case without his assistance" he
stated
Judging from this remark, the town
board of Cambridge City intends to
back its marshal and will refuse to dis
charge him from office for alleged
grating" tactics. If it can be prov
en- that Drischel, in mis- official capac-
ity. attempted TO secure a 81 fee for his
services in the Armstrong case. it is
probable that he will be prosecuted on
the charge of malfeasance of office.
