Patrick Cox to Face
 Trial in Ireland

Chicago, Aug. 10.-After a two years fight against extradition Patrick COX has begun his return trip to Ireland to face trial on charge of killing Ed ward Murray of Mayo County. He was accompanied by two deputy Uni ted States marshals, who will turn him over to an officer of the British con- stabulary at New York.
 Cox, Murray, and a. number of com panions had attended a wake near Rossport, and on their way home had become engaged in a dispute. Cox it is alleged, attacked Murray with a stick. Murray apparently recovered from the attack and Cox was convict ed and fined for assault and battery. Later Murray died, supposedly from the effects of the beating by Cox, who immediately fled the country.
 Cox was arrested in Chicago in July 1907, and had been in jail here since that time. A number of Irish socie- ties of this city became interested in the case, and through their interven- ton the British government finally agreed to dismiss the charge of mur- der against Cox if he would return and stand trial on a charge of manslaugh- ter.

REUNION OF
 SIXTH RECT.
Survivors of One of the Bravest Fight. ing Units of Civil War to Assemble
 Soon.
ATTACK OF FORT WAGNER

The 9th Conn. Regiment will meet at Lehmann's shore resort Wednesday, Aug. IS, for their annual. Chapters might be written of their service. The sixth was sworn into the State service Sept. 8, 1861, at Oyster Point, New Haven, and on the 12th of the same month Uncle Sam took a mortgage on the regiment for three years unless sooner discharged. Its ranks were filled with the youth of the State from all walks of life. History has told how nobly they upheld the credit or the State. Colonel John L. Chatfield (of whom can be said none more brave ever drew sword for country) was it's first leader, and under his untlr1ng efforts a name for steadiness under murderous fire, or in the charge, or on the picket line was made. At one time the sixth were holding a most hazardous position at night, with a strong force of the enemy in their front; the general in command en- quired what regiment was on the line tonight. Being told it was the sixth. nights rest" Co, H, Capt. Henry Biebel, and Go. I, Capt. (Major) Bou- dren, were Bridgeport companies and the fighting qualities of the major since that time were earlier exempli- fled then. The regiment participated in many actions. some of the most mo- table being at Hilton Head, Pocotaligo, Deep Run, James Island, Morris Is- land, Fort Wagner, S. C., Drury's Bluff, Va, and Fort Fisher.
 Fort Wagner was the toughest fight. Paul H. Hayne, a Southern writer, in speaking of the charge upon this fort by the Sixth Conn.,, says: Then grand deed what the old Mortimer would have called "a deed of Derring do, was performed by the men of the ever dominant Caucasian race, the thought of which, as write quarter century after its occurrence, here in the languid Indian summer, makes my heart beat and pulse throb tumult- ously. Across the narrow and fatal stretch before the fort, every inch of which was swept by a hurricane of fire, a. bosom of destruction, the 9th Conn.,, Colonel John L. Chatfield, charged with such undaunted resolu- tion upon the southeast salient, that they succeeded in the very face of Hell, one might say, in capturing it. What though their victory was barren Of achievement? What though for three hours they were penned in, no support daring to follow them. Friend and foe alike now as then, must honor and salute them as the bravest of the brave.'
 Among those in Bridgeport who were participants and hope to participate in another charge at Lehmann's the 18th, are Judge A--B. Beers, Major Thomas Boudren, pr. N. E. Wordin, Wm. H. Downs and c. E. Moore.

 As a result of the raid on the church which the Hungarians made. the lead CTS were before the Superior court of Hartford county in March, 1909, where the matter was settled by an agreement on the part of the defendants to take the title to the property by raising the mortgage and then to transfer the title to the Roman Catholic church of the Hartford diocese. This agreement they have failed to carry out, and the fail ure has been made the subject of; a suit for damages on the part of the Galician faction, the leaders of which are the Reverend Father Roman Zal- itacz, John Parylak, Stephen Roman and Antonio Roman This faction was prevented from worshipping in a church which it's members had helped to build and benefting from prosperity in which they held an equitable in- terest. !
 The plaintirs ask for a temporary injunction restraining the defendants from holding religious services in the church; a permanent Injunction re- straining them from using the church property for purposes other than in ulations of the Holy Greek Catholic church; an injucntion which will pre- vent Father Volkay from performing marriages until he has become a min ister of some denomination; decree for a conveyance or that the title of the property be vested in diocesan authorities of the Roman Catholic church of Hartford, until a corpora ton is organized in pursuance with the state statute law, and further they ask for $2,5o0 damages
 Attorney Benedict M. Holden of Hartford, represents the plaintiffs in this case, and Attorney Geduldig the defendants. The defendants have con tinued to hold services i'm the church under police protection and will com tinue to do so until an injunction has been issued. The petition for this in- Junction is being heard today at Hart ford fss.s

SEVENTEEN CENT COTTON
Indications Point to Highest
 Prices Ever Known.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. %. = The statement sent out by a New York cotton broker to the effect that 17-cent cotton will be here soon," is not regarded as an ex- travagant joke by many local cotton planters, who declare that the short crop, emphasized by the storm Monday night, will justify almost anything within reason in the cotton market.
 An increase in the price of cot ton is also expected, based on tho increased price of nearly every other commodity. If the farm CTS, particularly in the Arkansas hills, were to get 17 cents for their cotton, they could stand it all right" declared an attache of the statehouse, who has just re- turned from a jaunt through sev- eral counties. The valley coun- try, however, is not so bad, and 17-cent cotton there would make a noise like sure enough prosper ity.
