RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 1.-THE last
atnk in the circumstantial case against
Henry Clay Beattie, jr., has been forg-
ed according to the police, by the ex-
animation of two physicians found to
have professional knowledge of the ma
ture Of the wound which brought to
her death the wife Of the prisoner.
These two physicians, called into
the Beattie house, Immediately after
Beattie brought his dead wife home In
his automobile. examined the fatal
wound in her face and found there
was not spot of gunpowder on the
flesh, but that inside of the gaping
wound there were both gunpowder
stains and other wadding from the car
fridge.
These two medical witnesses leave
no room for doubt that the shotgun
which was used in the murder was
pressed hard against the face Of the
wife and exploded. Had the weapon
been leveled at a distance of q foot or
more the face would have borne some
trace Of the powder. Az It was the
wound was found to be clean on the
exterior but loaded with powder
grains and wadding inside.
Detective Thomas J. Wren who has
done the major part of the work on
the case said today that these two
physicians would establish the case
against young Beattie.

Halloween Dancing Party.

The management of Prof Kehl's
Dancing Glasses is making elaborate
arrangements for social dancing
party to be given at Knapp's rink in
this city at the CONCLUSION Of the
lessons at the next session, which will
be on Hallowe 'en. Tuesday evening,
October 81. The Gross orchestra,
we'll known for its excellence, will
furnish music for thu lessons and the
dance to follow.
This dancing school is held once in
two weeks and the first session of the
series, which occurred on Tuesday
evening of last week. was very sue
cessful The fact that the next reg
ular session will fall on Hallowe en-
has prompted the management to
make unusual preparations for the
occasion.
1t is not desired that spectators will
attend during the time that the dane
ing lessons are being given, as it
detracts from the success of the in.
struction given, so that spectators and
intending dancers, aside from those
taking the lessons are requested not
to come until nine o'clock.

AIR SHIP COMPANY
COMPROMISES SUIT
Pays Our Fair Association Six
Hundred Dollars
This is Vindication For the Society's
Officers and is Considered
a Fair Settlement.

County Chairman w. J. Brennan
and R. Meyer Sr. were in Milwaukee
two or three days last week in con
sultation with attorneys representing
the Curtiss Exhibition Co. of New
York, against which company a suit
for damages had been brought by
the Grant County Agricultural
Society for its failure to carry out its
contract to provide series of aero
plane flights at our fair last month
It had been expected that this suit
would be heard in the Grant county
circuit court when it came to trial,
but it was learned that the Curtiss
Co. had made arrangements to have it
transferred to the U. s. district court
instead.
Leaning of this fact the fair society
decided it would be better to effect
compromise if possible, and to that
end Messrs. Brennan and Meyer, act
ing in conjunction with Attorney
Ferdinand A. Geiger, Of Milwaukee,
who had been retained in the case
arranged for conference witt the
company's attorneys.
As a result settlement was secur-
ed by which the company pays to the
fair society the sum of 5000 and the
suit is dropped.
While this amount is not large it
demonstrates that the Curtlss company
recognized the force cf it's contract
and acknowledged that its failure to
provide the flights here was entirely
due to its own shoi tcomings and the
fair society was in no sense to blame
This vindication for the fair
officials is considered by them as of
more value than the money compensa-
ton, as some have felt that the
society had been really remiss in its
duties and TO a great extent to blame
for failing to produce the exhibition
as advertised.
The fact is that they had don
every thing within their power to
secure the attraction aud were in no
senses to blame for the disappoint-
ment which followed the failure of
the Company to carry out its contract
Messrs Brennan and Meyer are to
be congratulated over the satisfactory
settlement obtrain.d Attorney Gill,
of the law firm of Gill, Donohue &
Mahoney, acting for the Curtiss
people, was very fair in his treatment
of our attornyes in the compromise
made

JUDGE GROsSCUP STEPS OUT
Federal Jurist Closes His judicial Ca
reer as His Resignation Be-
comes Operative To-day.

Chicago, Oct. 23.-Peter S. Grosscup
is no longer a judge Of the United
States circuit court, as his resignation
which he forwarded to President Taft
on Saturday became effective today
The last act of his judicial career was
the signing of some orders in a rail
road case which caused a delay in the
carrying out his announced intention
of resigning some weeks ago.
Judge Grosscup had nothing to say
as to his future plans.
Immediate naming of Grosscup's
successor is unlikely, as the appoint
ment would have to await ratification
at the next legislative session. More
over, the seat on the bench is in
volved in the coming change of the
federal judicial system, abolishing the
circuit courts original powers and
making it's jurisdiction purely appel

state as park, although it is expect
ed that such purchase will be made
very soon.
The purchase is partially contingent
upon the building of a wagon bridge
across the Wisconsin river which will
make it more easily accessi ble but
which will cost several thousand dol
lars
The last Wisconsin legislature ap-
propriated money for the purchase of
state park lands, it being commonly
understood that the Glenn tract was
the one meant in such action, and the
selection of such park lands was left
to the discretion of the state park
board. all of whom are understood to
be favorable to the purchase.
If this shall be made either state
or national park it will be of much
interest and value to Grant county. as
it is our finest piece of natural
scenery and its development for park
purposes would mean much in the
way of development, of that section Of
the county and the consequent i'm
provement Of roads which would be
necessary to accommodate the thou
sands of people who would visit the
park each year. Every citizen of the
county should feel proud to see such
a deal contaminated
