Street Car Employees Say There was
no strike. That They Simply Quit
Because They Could Not ADord TO

J. l.. Price, n local street car con.
ductor, was considerably beaten up
as result of battle with ruff
fan in West Marion shortly after
o'clock Sunday afternoon. The trou-
BILE was a result of the recent con-
fllct between manager and motor
men over the kind of time pieces
which the latter should carry.
AS Prices car was passing the
Bender hotel on West Center street,
some one yelled at Price calling him
scab, and n coward. AS the car
passed into the West Center switch
the trouble maker came to the side of
the car and continued to abuse the
conductor. A fight resulted. Price
was knocked to the pavement by n
vicious blow. A crowd gathered about
and those anxious to see n tight,
transferred the pugilists to place
inside the walls of new West End
block. Jut as the fight promoters
were about to ring .he gong. n small
| boy yelled police and the crowd hur-
| riedly scattered officer Jack Nc
| Donough came around the coriIer n
time to see the crowd snealSing away.
Price boarded his car and re-
| turned uptown. His pugilisti,
friend followed him up town, threat
ening him and abusing him in shame
| ful manner. The trouble would
| probably have continued uptown
had 1t not been for some friends OF
| the street car conductor who per-
suaded him to control his temper.
Prices asailant is said to be a rad
ical union man. and he believed that
Price was scabbing, because h,
failed to quit work when some Of hi:
fellow employees left the company las
week.
The employees now In the service oI
the local street railway company EN-
phatically declare that they all will
quit work before they Will pay $3'
or any part of IL for what IL knowr
as a standard watch. They declare
that they did not strike last week
but simply quit because they coult
not afford to buy such n fine watcf

PRELIMINARY HEARING
GIVEN GERTRUDE BACAER
Justice Conley has not Rem
dered His Decision.
Mrs. BacI,er Claims She Intended To
Shoot I'm the Air to Brighten tho
BOY Away From Orchard.

The preliminary hearing of Mrs
Gertrude Bacher, who is charged
with shooting with intent to kill, was
held in the court of Justice Charles
II. Conley this morninS. The pros
ecutlng witnesses were Willis Bowles,
aged IA, the lad who was shot by
Mrs. Bacher and William Bowlcs,
his father. s-t
The prosecution was In charge of
Prosecutor Charles L. Justice and At
torney II. Edmund Hill had charge
of the defense.
The testimony of the prosecution
tended TO show that young Bowles
had departed from the orchard on
the place occupied by the Bachers ana
had approached the fence, with the
intention of entering again, when ne
saw the woman pick UP her shot gun
He then turned and ,en. doing some
| little distance he turned to see III she
were going to shoot. At that instant
| she had rested the gun on the fence
and pulled the trigger, the shot strik-
| ing the boy in the arm and the stom-
ach. He appeared in court with his
left arm in a sling.
Mrs. Bacher went on the stand In
her own defense. She sustained that
she merely intended to frightcn the
lad by shooting in the air, but thae
she pointed the gun and that II went
off before she was ready to dis
charge It. 1t was brought out that
there was a dispute between the own
er of the property, Albert Boblens
and the Bachers who are renters, con-
cernng the right to pick plums In
the orchard
Justice Conley was called to CO.

THE FABLES OF ANNIE BEsANT

Mrs. Annie Besant of India the
noted theosophist, was in Chicago
couple OF days ago and while there
gave expression to some rather inter-
esting opinions. A number OF years
ago Mrs. Besant was one of the best
known women in London and a lead
er In all sorts of radical agitations
She would have made a splendid suf-
fragette II theosophy had not claim
ed her and Gained her fierce turbu-
lence. But since going to India
has become a mystic and contents
herself with saying startling things
about instead of doing them.
In an interveiew at Chicago Mrs.
Besant explained her theories which
are very much alike those Of our
own Mrs. Katherine Tinsley. the
California theosophist who captured
the conscience and convictions Of as
shrewd and capable man as Ly-
man Gage, ex-secretary OF the U. s.
treasury He established himself near
Mrs. Tinsley's colony on the Pacific
coast to be near that seeres and learn
wisdom from her lips. Both Mrs.
Besant and Mrs. Tinsley are followers
aud imitators of Madame Blavatsky,
whom many have regarded as the
high-priestesso modern humbug,
while others looked upon her as tn.
wisest OF women and a miracle work
or. At all events Mrs. Besant de-
clares that most of her former ex-
istence has been passed in India and
that she was a blind girl there cons
ago. She processes to recall perfect
ly that experience. though thousands
OF years have passed since she turned
sightless orbs to the blazing god
OF day who floods India with light
But In her many transmigrations
she has not always occupied an
humble position. AS we commonplace
people say she has had her ups and
downs, and gave out the following
piece OF information about the past:
~ have also seen some one extremely
distinguished, whom you all know,
but there seems to be rule OF the
belief against claiming public kindship
with the departed who are not re-
presented here TO state their side OF
the case"
OF course II is impossible to guess
who Mrs. Besant was that time. She
may have been Potiphar's wife, Mary
Queen of Scots. or old Mother Goose
Who gave us the wonderful nursery
rhymes. All Of these ladies were ex-
lrsmsly distinguished In their day

A STRANGE TRIBE.
The Touaregs, to Whom Timbuktu
Owes It's Origin.

Owes It's origin.
A recent explorer. journeying from
Tripoli across the great desert OF Sa-
hara, gives account OF much opposi-
ton to his progress offered by the va
rious wandering tribes. Muchsof the
most serious trouble was caused by
the Touaregs. a strange band OF people.
supposed by some TO have descended
from the crusaders. These dwellers OF
the desert are distinguished by the
wearing Of wells. a custom which mas
caused much discussion. Says Felix
Dubois in "Timbuktu the Mysterious:"
AS you travel. an atmosphere Of Sc
crccy hovers over the country, and you
remember that these mysterious TVua-
regs are still momentarily its oppress-
ors and masters.
These people keep their eyes from
the excessive glow Of the desert by
two wells, one rolled round the temples
and falling down In front, the other
reaching from the nostrils to the edge
Of the clothing, covering the lower
part Of the face. Savants seek all
manner Of farfetchcd origins to ex-
plain this custom. Hygiene Is obvious
ly the only motive. This is proved by
their own statements and by the So
briquet, mouths for fiies." which they
give to all who do not wear the wells.
These wells are never removed. even
at mealtimes. They are so much a
part Of their wearers that any one de-
prived of such covering is unrecog-
nized by his friends and relatives, II
number Of the tribe should be killed
In battle. no one could identify them
If they had not on their wells.
Theft Is the Touaregs natural form
Of Industry. This word" says a ma
tive proverb, "is like water fallen upon
sand. never TO be found cgain." The
Sudanese term them as thieves,
hyenas and abandoned Of God" Yet
to this strange tribe Timbuktu owes
its origin.

A young man, who of late has

He has had to settle numerous

two or three weeks to keep from be-
ing sent to the workhouse. on five
occasions, he has forged his fathers
name to checks. given In payment
of these bills, but the banks have
refused to honor the checks.
Last night he went to his father
home west of Kenton with Mr.. Pow
ers, of the firm OF Cox and Powers,
to whom he was indebted for liv-
cry rentals. He said that he would
secure the money IL Powers went to
his fathers home with him. Leav-
ing Powers outside, he went in the
house and came out short time later
with chec kfor $25 payable TO Pow

refused to honor the check, claiming
that the Signature. had been forged
The amount owed to Cox and Power;
was $11 so and the young man want

The bank is now trying to com

young man, to learn whether or moi

osophy is certainly wonderful creed |
and its diciples have great faith-in

believer in the transmigration of

will leave the defense of vivisection
to the men of science who boldly
and confidently assert that it has
done much for the welfare of human
It's though sometimes abused and only
remark that the idea that thousands
OF presumable human souls are re-
siding In the bodies OF animals Is a
piece of Brahminical superstition un-
worthy of entrance into a civilized
head. Unn ecessary cruelty to animals
Is blemash upon any mans char
acter, but at its worst it Is not as
bad as the degrading animal wor-
ship Of the Orient. All life is sacred
to the Hindus and the result is tha,
sometimes the people permit bands OF
apes to overrun their villages and

land where beasts are gods and mer

Another of Mrs. Besant's remark.
able statements is the assertion thai
airships are not new invention but
we're used in India thousands of years

ancient people ever had sufficien,
