THE PROCEEDINGS

A full board was present last night
with numerous spectators. City So
licitor Campbell conducted the case.
The first witness called was o. Il.
Potter, whose saloon on Eighth
street, between Campbell and Harris
streets, burned the morning Of June
23. He said he owns the saloon, but
James Jewell. a former owner. who
failed to get a renewal of his license
at the same stand. advanced the
money. and he paid Jewell from the
daily receipts as he could. keeping
out what he needed. The Evansville
Brewing company also owned some
OF the fixtures.
Potter said he "slgned little piece
of paper" for 500. II really don't
know just what l did sign. / think
it was payable to Walter Fisher,
did not see Mr.. Fisher. I signed It
TO protect myself and get my money.
He (Baker) never told me what in
formation he got. He said he got in
formation enough that ] wouldn't get
any money at all from the insurance
company If the investigation was
carried out"
Potter said he understood the in
yestigation was to be stopped on pay
ment of the money.

Patrolman w. II. Rogers, on
whose beat the fire occurred, was

action when he witnessed the note.
which he did not read over to see
who was the payee. He did not hear
all the conversation between Baker
and Potter preceding the signature
of the note.
Before that he said he and Baker
talked with Potter and they left Pot
ter and went over TO the colored
school building at Harris street,
where Baker remarked that Potter
was too drunk TO talk 10, but that
they should get him to sign a note
to Baker for helping him secure his
insurance, and thus win his conft-
dence, and find out who burned the
building. He said Baker gave him
a note. which he was TO get Potter to
sign He thought Il was payable to
Baker Potter refused on Monday
and he carried the note week. He
did not know whether the note he
witnessed was the same one or not.
In the conversation with Baker at
the school house Baker repeatedly
said he did not want Potter's money.
that the 500 the state fire marshal
offered was worth more to him than
the whole OF Potter's insurance
money. When he asked Baker what
he would do about the note il he
failed TO make case, Baker said
then there might be that much for
Potter's creditors,
Patrolman Rogers said he did not
report the matter to Chief OF Police

saying he wanted to kill mad dog:
Returning to the end of the field
where the girl was working alone, al

Strong Drink.

1t is warrior whom no victory can
satisfy, no ruin satiate. 1t pauses at
no Rubicon to consider, pitches no
tents at night, goes into no quarters
for winter. 1t conquers amid the
burning plains Of the South where the
pnaianX of Alexander halted in mu-
tiny. 1t conquers amid the snow
drifts Of the North where the grand
army OF Napoleon found its winding
sheet. It's monuments are il every
burial ground. Its badges Of triumph
are the weeds which mourners wear.
Its song Of victory is the vail that
was heard in Ramah-"Rachel crying
for her children and weeping because
they are not"
The sword is mighty, and its bloody
traces reach across time, from Nj
neveh to Gravelotte, from Marathon
to Gettysburg. Yet mightier is it's
brother, the wine cup. say
"brothar," and history says "brother"
Castor and PolluX never fought to-
gether in more fraternal harmony.
David and Jonathan never joined in
more generous rivalry. Hand III
hand, they have come down the CEN
turies, and upon every scene of earn
age, like vulture and shadow, they
have met and feasted.
Yea; pair of giants, but the great
er is the wine cup. The sword has
scabbard, and is sheathed; has a con-
science, and becomes glutted with
havoc; has pity, and gives quarter to
the vanquished. The wine cup has no
scabbard and no conscience; its ap-
petite is cancer which grows as you
feed it; to pity, it is deaf; to suffer-
ing, it is blind.
The sword is the lieutenant of death,
but the wine cup his captain; and if
ever they come home to him from the
wars bringing their trophies, boasting
of their achievements, I can imagine
that death, their master, will meet
them with garlands and song, as the
maidens of Judea met Saul and David.
But as be numbers the victories OF
each, his pean will be ''The sword is
my Saul, who has slain his thousands,
but the wine cup is my David, who
has slain his tens of thousands. -
