Abita Correspondence.

Abita Springs, July 5, 1910.---The
Abita fire companies two-day festival
was brought to successful conclusion
last night and passed into history as
one of the best financially of any given
before The weather was not all that
could have been wished, but the sun
came out at times and the nights were
cool and fine. All the raffles brought
good results. The novelty Mr.. Del
Bondi brought out called the Panama
Rooster brought $15.10 A fine piece
of needle work from guests of the New
Abita Hotel brought neat sum. Miss
Raglan won two of the raff1es.
The prize waltz brought out large
number of contestants and was keenly
contested for. The final winners, Mr..
j. Machaelis and Miss Lane, danced
for "a minutes. Mr.. Mason, Jr., was
a close second and would certainly have
won second prize had there been any
given. AS is usual in Abita, every one
joined to make the affair success,
and the amount realized will foot up to
$4,000.
Visitors from New Orleans came out
early and proved themselves liberal
spenders.
The method of improving the streets
taken up by the city fathers of Abita
is calling forth good deal of criticism
by the imam in street," viz cutting
down pine trees and leaving an ugly
stump standing some three to five feet
for unwary night travellers to fall over.
We need all the pines we have, and if
taken out of the street can be taken
out root and branch and the hole filled
in. Any fine trees that can be left on
sidewalks or near the banquet line
should be left.
PROGRESSIVE.

Official action will be asked at
the next meeting of the city council
by Councilman George w. Shaefer,
compel ling the street railway conn.,
panies to keep cars warm during
cold weather.
The above resolution was filed
with the city cIerk today by Mr..
Shaefer, and he asks that an
emergency be declared so that the
ordinance may be passed at the
next meeting Of the city council,
Tuesday night Of the coming week.
The editorial and story in The
Press yesterday. his personal ex-
perience with poorly heated cars
and complaints that have come to
him induced Councilman Shaefer
to ask for legislation compelling
the car companies to keep their
cars warm.
terday for warm cars has met with
universal approval OF car patrons,
especially those who travel in the
earlier cars, from which the great
est complaint comes. The great
est fault is found with the cars on
the early trips in the morning and
with the extra cars sent out dur
ing the day. Some of these cars
are said to be permitted to stand
out in the open until used.
The city council has a legal right
to compel the car companies to
keep the cars warm the same as
the health board recently compell-
ed the car companies to scrub
their cars once day as a sanitary
measure. The city has unlimited
authority In health and police reg
r!s tions, which can be used to
ccmpel more comfort in the cars.
Captain John Gray, Second ward
councilman, said that he believed
the cars should be kept warm. .
B. r. Ostrander. Fifth ward conn.
Gilman, said that the cars should be
kept warm, but he did not know
from personal experience that they
had been permitted to run cold. II

Wickersham declared that
the insinuations and charge
of improper action on the
part of Ballinger and other

entirely disproved.
He takes occasion to score Claws
severely, and declares that the
charges against Ballinger were
filed as the result of CLAWS "exag-

Wickersham also scored CLAWS
for not pressing the investigation
Of the Cunningham Alaska claims.

CLAWS, he stated, continually pro-

would be compelled to prosecute
without adequate evidence. He re-
cites CLAWS connection with the
case and concludes with a lengthy

TWO DRUNKEN
BOYS SHOOT
MARSHAL
FATAL END OF A
YOUTHFUL SPREE.
(By United Press)

AUBURN, WASH, Jan. 6.-City
Marshal August RoehI is dying to-
day, and two youths, Howard vii,
llams and c. HiIdreth of Sumner,
are under arrest fer the shooting,
as result of an alleged drunken ca
rousaI here last night.
Williams and Hildreth were ar
rested in Sumner this morning by a
posse of deputies, after a chase
lasting since midnight. Both lads
fled to their homes after Williams
fired the shot which will probably
cost the marshal's life. Badly
frightened, they were easily cap
tured, after the posse had trailed
them. They are now in Auburn
Jail and will be taken to Seattle to-
day to be arraigned.
Roehl will not recover, according
to physicians.
The shooting occurred at 1880
last night in the Northern Pacific
depot at Auburn. Williams and his
companion had been drinking and
decided to go to Tacoma. At the
station they were refused tickets,
as one was alleged to be too drunk
to be allowed on the train. The
pair then became boisterous and
George Richardson, a special North
ern Pacific constable, arrested
them. City Marshal Roehl was
summoned and was conveying them
toward the Jail when Williams sud
denly drew his revolver and fired.
Roehl was shot in the mouth, the
bullet lodging in the neck muscles.
Physicians extracted the bullet, but
hope of life is despaired of. The
dying marshal is about 4S and has a
wife and three daughters.

(By United Press.)

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-The
boldest black hand murder
in the history Of Chicago was
nsMmitted shortly after day
Tight today. Three men en-
tered the home Of ,Benitto
Cienni, a rich Italian dry
goods merchant, held hia
wife off at a revolver's point
and deliberately shot Cienni
to death as he lay in bed.
Mrs. Cienni opened the
door at the bell call. Three
unidentified Italians enter
ed, one. of them seizing her
and holding a revolver
against her head. His COM
panions entered the bedroom
where the merchant lay
sleeping. Mrs. Cienni heard
three shots, then the couple
emerged, holding a smoking
revolver.
The three strangers left
the house by the front door.
Rushing into the bedroom,
Mrs. Cienni found her hus-
band dead, with three bullet
holes in his body. Two years
ago Cienni received a Black
Hand letter, demanding pay
ment of $4,000, on pain of
death. He ignored the de-
mand. The last letter was
received a year ago.
The police believe that the
murder was planned at that
time, the assassins awaiting
a favorable opportunity for
carrying it out.
