BOWMAN CASE ECHO
Is Heard in Suit Filed on
Wednesday.

Because of an oversight, or the neg
lect of John Bowman of Hagerstown,
who committed suicide several years
ago when he became aware that his
dishonesty in the handling of funds of
depositors in his private bank would
probably be exposed, Ella Leavell and
Caroline Leakey and others are at
swords points over the title to lots in
Hagerstown, resulting in a suit be-
ing filed in the circuit court Wednes-
day in which Mrs. Leavell asks that
the court recognize the satisfaction
of long paid off mortgage.
Bowman was the administrator of
the estate of William w. Woods who
died in December 1881, and who held
a mortgage, given by John c. Geisler,
to secure a two hundred dollar loan.
After the death of Woods, Geisler sat.
isfied the mortgage by rendering pay
ment to the administrator. After
wards the plaintiff secured the proper
ty and heirs of the late William
Woods, including the defendants, Nan
cy June Brandon. William S. Woods
and Mary Bowers were asked by the
plaintiff to acknowledge the mortgage
had been satisfied. According to the
complaint all but the defendants con
sented to this arrangement.
1t is not alleged in the complaint
that Bowman Intentionally neglected
to enter satisfaction Of the mort.
gage upon the court records, but that
he failed to do 70 through oversight.

ley, who declared the state had made
a case agains all of them and he inn
plored the jurors to send them all to
prison for from two to ten years. In
his instructions Judge Wilson inform
ed the jury that it required three men
to form a conspiracy and that such
conspiracy might be formed without
any form of agreement He also told
them that conspiracy could be pro
ven as we'll by circumstancial as direct
evidence, and that such evidence is
generally circumstantial The crime

Unique Order Issued by the
Town Health Officer Fol-
lows Fierce Dog Battle
Fought Last Sunday.
MAD DOG ATTACKED
HORDE OF CANNES
Reign Of Terror Created and
Infected Beast Was Final
ly Shot-Wounded Dogs
Are to Be Shot.

After a pitched battle that lasted a
great part of last Sunday afternoon,
during which time the town was in
reign of terror, Hagerstown won in it's
fight with mad dog, and the lone ca
nine was ANONYMOUSLY shot down just
outside the city limits. AS a conse-
quence of the terrible battle, all the
dogs in the village have been quaran-
tined for sixty days. This precaution
is taken by the health department to
prevent any outbreak of rabies.
Last Sunday Spot" a stray bird
dog, ambled along the road from
Greensboro to Hagerstown, and alarm
ed several farmers on the route by
her crazy actions. AS the pup neared
the town, several other CANNES emer-
ged from back yards to ask the visitor
why she had come to town. Resenting
their inquisitiveness, Spot started in
to chew up few of the Hagerstown
animals, and managed to bite, among
others. dogs belonging to Ben Shook,
Richard Cordell, and John Harry. The
little beast raced to the middle Of Ha-
gerstown, fighting with other dogs all
the way, and finally the citizens took
up the chase. The frenzied dog was
then forced outside the town limits,
where John Harry finished it with a
shot gun.
Dog Found Infected.
DR.. c. l. Stotelmeyer, town health
officer, was on the scene shortly after
the shooting and secured the head to
be sent to the state laboratory for ex.
animation. A report from the state
today proved definitely that there
were nigri bodies in the dogs head
Acting on this report, DR.. Stotel.
meyer has ordered all dogs that were
! bitten to be killed, and all others plac
! ed under sixty day quarantine. Their
quarantine, however, will consist only
of having to wear muzzles. All dogs
that appear on the street without
muzzles will be shot, and the owner
held liable to fine of $50.
DR.. J. e King, head of the county
health department, made special trip
to Hagerstown today to Investigate the
situation, and spent most of the early
part of the day in that town He has
not found any people who were bitten
by the mad dog. DR.. King has already
traced the route pursued by the dog
as far as the township line to the east
and believes he will be able to find
the place from where the animal ori
ginally came.

Writes Farewell Letter to His

ing Him that the Wages Of
Sin Is Death.
(National News Association

RICHMOND, Nov. 22.-Ths death
guard has been increased around Hen
ry Clay Beattie, jr., and from today
until he goes to the electric chair
on Friday morning, to pay the final
penalty for the murder of his wife, his
every movement will be watched day
and night to prevent an attempt to
commit suicide. Beattie has abandon
ed all hope of Intervention and is pre-
pared to die, according to prison EN-
ployes and spiritual advisors. But the
prison officials are guarding against
the last attempt to thwart justice by
self destruction.
In the face of the statments of the
two ministers who are attending him ir
the death cell that he has made peace
with God and is ready to face his doom
! as Christian, stands forth the fact
that he has never once asked to sec
his baby, the infant son of his murder
ed wife. He has shown an indiffer
ence, amounting almost to aversion
when the child has been mentioned by
Tic AA1uloIClo AAu Vic ~ 1ooA otSNAA
dants, it is said. The child is now Al
Dover, Del, with his maternal grand
parents. Beattie will never see the
instrument of his death, or know the
identity of those who looked on while
he renders up the laws tribute of {
life for life.
Under the Virginia law the head of Z.

cap before he leaves his cell for thu
execution, and when Beattie, guided b!

man, takes a short final walk to tn,

WASHINGTON. Nov 22-Further
details of the high finance methods Of
John d. Rockefeller in the ore fields
were given today before the Stanley
steel trust investigation committee,
and as q result it Is expected the oil
king will be summoned as a witness.
Following the story of the alleged
ders Of the Duluth, Mesaba & North
ern railroad, by Rockefeller, Leonidas
Merritt took the stand. He corroberat-
ed much of the testimony Of his broth
or Alfred. who told how Rockefeller
by calling a loan of $4,000 on "a
hours notice, had acquired control of
property, estimated to be worth more
than half million dollars.
Leonidas handled the Rockefeller
negotiations in New York, while, he
said. Alfred stayed on the Mesaba
range. As a result of this testimony
Rockefeller will probably be called by
tho committee.
Last night the committee voted to
subpoena the oil king, but in an ex-
ecutive session later decided not to
issue . summons until the story of
Leonidas Merritt had been heard
When the committee met today Rep
Middleton Of New York, was absent.
Il 10 understood that Mr. Middleton,
although . Democratic member Of the
committee, objects to any further
hearing. taking the view that the gov
ernment suit had placed the probe of
the steel trust beyond the jurisdiction
,.0f the house. Mr.. Middleton is expect
ed to take his tight to the floor Of the
house.
This afternoon the Rev. 8. B. Gates,
an alleged agent for Rockefeller was
summoned as witness. Leonidas
Merritt detailed the entire series of
transactions In which he declared

GUARDS AS
TAR TALE UNF0LOS
Mutterings of Second Tar
Party Heard to Avenge
Abuse of Teacher.
(National News Association

LINCOLN CENTER, Kan, Nov. %.
Ed Ricord, the village barber of
Shady Bend, who confessed to decoy-
ing Miss Mary Chamberlain to the
lonely spot where she was tarred and
John Schmidt, Sherrell Clark and A.
NJ Simms on trial here for "tarring'
the pretty young school teacher, sat
in the court room today surrounded
by a dozen strong deputies. The
guards, in whose charge they spent
last night, were also doubled.
Miss Chamberlain's plain, simple
narrative of how she had been covered
with tar by crowd of Shady Bends
most prominent citizens which she
told In court yesterday, made the in
creased guards for the men on trial
necessary.
Scarcely had the girl left the wit
ness stand when mutterings of plans
for second tar party, with Ricord
and the men on trial as the victims,
began to be heard in all parts of town
Some men even suggested more vic
lent means of handling the Shady
Bend prisoners.
Town Stirred by Story.
The girls story has stirred Lincoln
Center from end to end It's citizens
are thoroughly aroused. Sympathy is
with Miss Chamberlain.
Threats of tarring the men on trial
became more loud and more insistent
as the attorneys for the defense tried
to break down the girls story and ira
duce her character. The threats be-
came louder and more insistent as the
days hearings ended.
Men gathered in large groups on the
courthouse lawn and hurled jibes at
the Shady Bend defendants. In Lin
coin Center homes and in the congre-
eating places about town, the case was
the one subject of discussion and men
folks were almost unanimous in the
demand that they take the law into
their own hands. Only a leader was
needed.
The sheriff knew these people and
became frightened. He swore in addi-
tional deputies to guard his prisoners.
Despite the additional guards and
the announcement of the sheriff that
he would protect his prisoners at any
cost, the plans for the new tar" party
rapidly gained headway
Great crowds of men, wearing grim,
determined looks. gathered about the
court house this morning. The sheriff
feared they might attempt to raid the
court room and therefore kept a large
guard of deputies around the prison
ers throughout the day.
Almost the entire population Of Sha-
dy Bend is here. Many of these people
will testify as character witnesses for
the defendants or will tell of the vii
lage gossip, which preceded and fol-
lowed the tarring of the pretty school
teacher.
