COURT HOUSE
FILE PETITTON IN ERRon


A petition In error was filed yester-
day afternoon in common pleas court
by the defendant in the case OF AS
ken VS.. Charles Dewell which was re-
Gently tried in Justice Barrick's court
and in which the plaintiff was given
Judgment in the sum of $25. The de-
fendant in his petition asks the court
to have the attachment discharged and
also to release the money which was
attached in the action. The litiga-
tion arose over purchase of some
wearing apparel by the defendants
wife which was worthless and was re-
turned to the plaintiff company. The
plaintiff offered to make good the pur-
chase but it failed TO reach the city
at the stated time and the defendants
wife bought the suit at another store.
The case was heard in Justice Barrick' s
court and the attachment of the de-
fendants wages followed.

Celebrate Anniversary
Of Union With
Banquet
MANY INVITED GUESTS

The 26th anniversary of Bricklay-
ers' union No 6, B. M. l. u, was cele-
brated in Bast's hall last night by the
members of the union from Massillon
and a number of the local contrac-
tors. The celebration was in the form
of banquet, several tables being
surrounded by the rs or 80 people in
attendance The menu consisted of a
number of good things to eat and at
the completion of the supper a nice
program was carried out. Theodore
Sohnlein acted as the toastmaster in
very acceptable manner. The first
number on the program was a story
told by Horace Greeley, this being
greatly appreciated. Contractor VIII
liam Shoot spoke on the Condition
of Trade" making a very acceptable
address. o. F. Zinninger, who has
handled the trowel for a number of
years had something to say about
"The Good Will of the Bricklayers','
his address being one of the longest
and best of the evening. William
Gonder gave the "Hobo Bricklayer"
in fine style. Preston Schell then sang
10000 Bricklayers Wanted in Wich-
ita," bringing down the house. John
Brown, one of the old timers, danced
Jig, and Contractor Zinninger joined
in with him, much to the enjoyment
of those present. Joe Ecksmith, in
his German accent, gave conversa-
ton that he had with the information
girl at the telephone exchange, while
he was learning the English language,
this being very amusing. The Blair
Brothers, known about the city for
their excellent work, gave number
of vocal elections and duets and were
heartily encored.
James White, one of the charter
members of No. made a short ad-
dress and Charles White, colored
member of the organization, spoke
on the welfare of the union. The
whole affair was wound up with a
five-round sparring contest for points
between Young Battling Nelson and
Kid Jackson, both of whom have
achieved quite a reputation in this
line. Both men spared beautifully
and at the end of the contest the ref
cree declared it draw. During the
evening William Jackson gave cake
walk and several others added to the
program. The committee in charge
Of the affair consisted of Robert Stitz,
Prestos Schell, Charles tie and Wal
ter Wilson. 1t was one of the best
social sessions ever held by the or
ganization. This union has over 60
members and is in excellent shape.

ALLIANCE sHooTING CASE.

The case of Angelo Barila, charged
with shooting with intent to kill, at
Alliance, was taken up by the grand
jury Tuesday morning. Joe Butera
the intended victim, Marshal Brown
Lawrence Courtney, DR.. Burns and
Chief Howell and CAPTAIN Oswalt ali
of Alliance, were called as grand jury
WITNESSES.
The Alliance police believe that
something may develop from the
grand jury investigation. The owner
of the gun has not been located and
no one has appeared with any eyi
dence locating anyone with a shotgun
near the time Of the shooting.
The whole case is great puzzle
for the Alliance police force. TIE
more they investigate the more they
are of the opinion that the shooting
is the result of a deliberate plan tc
murder and that it is the work OF
some unknown band of assassins.
