RAY SLAyS ASSAILANT
 WHOSE BULLETS MISS
-Crazed Would Be Assassin
 Fires Five Shots.

c. P. Welsh, a discharged special agent of the Great Northern railroad, was shot and instantly killed by Al G. Ray, chief of the roads special agents, after Welsh had hurled a bottle con- taining nitroglycerin and fired five times at Ray in an attempt to take his life in the Great Northern build ing, St. Paul, Minn.
 The bottle contained enough nitro glycerin to blow up the entire building in which the tragedy was enacted.
 Ray gave himself up immediately after Welsh was killed and is held by the St. Paul police. It is believed no formal charge will be made against him, since the authorities are con- vinced that he acted entirely in self defense.
 Welsh had been special agent for the Great Northern in Duluth, but had been discharged by Ray because he had shot and wounded George Miller in an affray near Duluth not long ago. Ray claimed Welsh had fired on Miller without proyocation. .-. f.s
 On Aug. 30 Welsh suddenly appeared unannounced at the door and began to fire at Ray. With the first shot Ray dropped to the floor behind his desk, and, using that as screen, kept out of harms way as Welsh fired five shots When Welsh ceased firing Ray stood up from behind his desk and fired, kill ing his assailant instantly. D.
 Detective James Murnane picked uI flask of nitroglycerin that Welsh had thrown at Ray The explosive filled pint flask. It was wrapped in heavy brown paper. J.

FIREBUGS SPREADING
 TERROR IN ORLEANS
Detectives Suspect Wet" and
 "Dy" HOstiIities.

Building by building incendiaries have devastated Orleans, Ontario coun- ty, N. Y., only recently fourishing village of $500 population. The one place of business left standing is the Orleans hotel, and that is being va cated. Panic fills the place, armed vol unteers nightly patrol the streets, citi- zens fearing they would be burned alive in their beds have left their homes, some of which can be bought for the price of the cement walks be- fore them. A woman locked up her house on the main street and left town. Recently a fire destroyed the house next door but one to hers, another fire the house next hers. Then she left.
 There being no doubt that firebugs are busy, men regard each other sus- piciously, and lifelong friends have be- come enemies.
 Pinkerton detectives, posing as farm hands, tried to find the origin of the oft recurring fires. After a month the detectives went away with the strong suspicion that the intense bitterness between the "wets" and ''drys" over the local option question had much to do with the incendiarism. For most of the property destroyed belonged to the "drys," who are called 'bluestockings' at Orleans.

Chief of Police Carter began the

the police department yesterday when
he ordered Patrolman Wilson G..
Shellenbarger to begin night duty as
a plain-clothes man this evening. His
place on district covering a part or
the Seventh Street district Will be
taken by David c. Winkler, who has
been night headquarters plain-clothes
man. During the summer and fall
Winkler Is one of the squad OF two
motorcycle patrolmen. 1t Is not
known whether he will be restored
to plain-clothes duty as motor police
man in the spring, but as he is the
most expert motorcyclist In the de-
partment it is probable that he will
be found more valuable there than
on beat.
It Is said Shellenbarger's promo

"Neer beer" Is just near enough to
real beer to pay the thousand dollar
Aiken tax.
This is brief is the decision hand
ed down by the Ohio supreme court
Wednesday, which held that the tax
must be paid ON all near beer or
other substitutes for beer.
The effect of the decision is that
all so-called saloons selling near beer
in the dry counties must pay the
thousand dollar Aiken tax or close
up.
The case Is reported by the court,
and the syllabus is to the effect that
the Aiken tax may be collected in any
case where malt liquor is sold.

this Is the meaning of the law as ii

The style of the case in which the
decision was given was LaFolle;te.
treasurer of Guernsey county, VS..
John and Bessie Murray. An admit
ted statement of facts was that the
only liquor sold on the premises was
a concoction known as "FrieGon"
beer, which was malt liquor, but
which contained only 46-100 per cent
of alcohol, therefore was non-intoxi-
eating.
The treasurer brought suit in the
common pleas court of Guernsey
county and recovered Judgment for
$29S.11. The case was appealed 20
the circuit court and the circuit court
reversed the common pleas court,
The treasurer thereupon appealed to
the supreme court, which reverses
the circuit court and affirms the de-
cision of the common pleas court.
The case was submitted on a ques-
tion Of Interpretation of the Akin

Intoxicating liquors." The attorneys
said that the only question involved
and which was put squarely to the
court, was whether the Akin TAI
must be paid when malt liquor wa'
sold which was not intoxicating. The
court, in its decision, meets this ont
question squarely, and decides tha
the tax must be paid in cases of thi
kind.
