INNER CIRCLE
OF LABOR union
McNamara Trial Is But Prelude 0.
Attempt by Detective Agency
to Prove Its Ex-
istenca
FOUR MEN NOW IN BOX
Two Of These Have Been Challenged.
Leaving But Two So Far So
Iected to Serve on
tho Jury.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. AIT is be.
coming more and more certain as the
task of empaneling Jury to try
James B. Mcnamara continues that
1t is the prelude OF an attempt Of the
Burns detective agency to prove the
existence of an inner circle within
the American Federation of Labor
which countenances and finances acts
OF violence.
This was made especially certain
several times today by Attorney Dar-
row for the defense, while examining
veniremen, when he demanded wheth-
er they considered labor leaders a
lawless element who advocated viol-
ence in bringing about obedience to
the commands of employers. This
question repeatedly forced itself into
the records, but was repeatedly OBJ
jected to by the court
The real reason became apparent
today when 1t was learned that Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks Ia studying
the transcript Of the grand jury pro-
ceedings at Indianapolis. He has
summoned all the witnesses who tes-
tilted there to testify in this case as
far as possible. The defense Is de-
termined to prevent this and will
raise the question OF materiality. 1t
will also insist that whether Nc
Namara is guilty of the many crimes
talleged by the Burns men or not, lle
is on trial here only for the destruc-
tion of the Times building and all
other matter is irrevelent and mad
missable. They will demand ruling
on this subject and much will depend
upon Judge Bordwell's decision.
There Is already much friction be-
tween Judge Bordwell and the attor-
, neys for the defense and it is highly
4 probable that when one of the really
. important ISSUES Of the case is brought
e UP that there will be q sharp clash
h between the counsel for the defense
r and the court.
s Today was spent in further examin
l. alton of the remaining veniremen in
an attempt to obtain additional elig
ible jurors To date only four mer
are in the box and two of these have
been challenged

INDIANAPOLIS Ind, Oct. 25.-How
DR.. Helene Knabe, former state bac-

almost severed by the slash of knife,
came to her death, remains mystery
Jefferson Haynes, the negro janitor
of the apartment house where Dr.
Knabe lived, was detained on suspic-
ion, but the detectives let him go af-
ter he had withstood for hours their
attempts to draw discriminating infor-
nation.
The theory of suicide put aside earl
Ter in the day was revived but the po-
lice say the evidence tends to indi-
cate murder. The knife with which
Dr. Knabe was killed has not been
found, and the opinion is held that If
she had gashed her own throat she
would not have had strength to have
carefully hidden the knife and then
returned to her bed
Haynes, who had known DR.. Knabe
for years, said he went to bed in his
room in the basement at II o'clock.

1t is high time that the citizens
of Bingville who happens to have in
their breasts any municipal pride
for their town, should bestir their
sells and give our enterprising town
thorough spring cleaning.
Why it is almost the first of May
and what has been did, if anything,
to give Bingvil1e a thorough reno
waiting from stem to stern, as you
might say? We would have wrote
editorial on this subjecl1t sooner
if we had Of thort of it, but we
didn't. However, it is never too
late to do our duty when we see
that it ort to be did.
AS soon as we thort about this
subieckt we hunted up Cy HosElins,
who is chairman of the town select
men, and asked Cy why he didn't
use his official posishion to make
folks hereabouts clean up their
premises so that Bingville would be
clean and sanitary instead of the
laughing stock of other surrounding
towns like Hardscrabble. Cy said
that he didn't know as it was his
place as chairman of the selectmen
to 90 around and order people to
clean up their premises-Cy said he
calkilated it wasn't none of his bus
mess whether they cleaned up their
premises or not and if he was to
order them to do so, he thort it
would make him unpopular in the
extreme. Cy said without a doubt
he was the best liked selectman who
had ever held office and he reckon
ed it was all becuz he attended
strictly to his own business and did
not become over-officious in office.
We don't think anybuddy has ever
accused Cy of becoming over-offi-
cius. What has Cy HosI1ins ever
did for Bingville sinst he has been
chairman of the seIectmen, we ask?
Nothin', we answer. All he has did
is to set around and look wise and
let the town go to rack and ruin. In
our opinion, Bud Hincl1ly, who
amt quite right in his head, would
make better selectman than Cy
Hoskins.
Winter has went and summer is
almost here, but IN spite of this
fact Bingville is full Of rubbish and
squaller. Why don't folks gather
up the old tin cans and other odds

Marriages

The marriage of Mr. Seth Perkins
and Miss Mary Ann Green, both OF
Bngville. was celebrated and solemn
lied at the parsonage last Monday, at
high noon, by our beloved pastor of
the Bingville Church. Reverend Samuel
Moore 1t was exceedingly private
affair being as there was no person
present except Mrs. Moore, wife of the
pastor, who give us particulars Of the
happy event, for the benefit of our
Bugle readers.
Seth and Mary Ann have been keepin
company now for seven or eight years
and it has often been rumored that
they would be married, but somehow
or other, the date was never set until
recent Mary Ann looked awful re-
splcndent in a plaid skirt and white
shirt waist. Mrs. Moore had a bunch
of artificial flowers on the mantel shelf
which Mary Ann held in her hand

and ends in their front yards and
dispose of same where they won't
be eye sore to the community
Why donG folks repair their front
palings, where their palings is off
and touch UP their houses with a
little paint here and there to make
them look bright and attractive, and
when you do clean your rubbish
into heap, don't haul it away in a
wheelbarrow and dump it into the
town well in the public square,
either. That amt no place to dump
rubbish. If folks keep on dumping
, their rubbish into the town well,
the water won't be fit to drink this
summer.
We hope word to the wise is
sufficient on this subject. Unless
the most respected citizens of Bing-
vile take steps to clean up their
premises soon, we will have anoth-
er scathing editorial in the Bugle
next week and will keep on calling
attention to this disgraceful state
of affairs until something is did
about it. Shame on you, citizens of
Bingville, who amt got no more
pride in their town than this. Don't
let yourselfs drift into obnoxious
destetude, whatever that is, but
rise up in your might and each one
do his own part toward cleaning up
| his own property, until strangers
when they come to town will point
the finger of pride at US and say
What nice clean town Bingville
isl"
While you are cleaning up your
rubbish, you might also clean Up
some of your financial obligashions
by paying a few years back sub
scription to the Bugle. Money is
very tight with US at the present
writing.

while being joined in the holy bonds
of wedlock to Seth. Seth was dressed
IN a salt and pepper suit. which he pur-
chased at the Co. scat for S12 especial
tor the occasion and it didn't fit him
so bad either, being as it was only a.
store suit, as you might say-the sleeve s
to the coat was about six inches too
short and the pants was too long, but
Seth turned them up at the bottoms.
Mrs. Moore said that Mary Ann was
as cool as a cucumber during the mar
rage operashion, but Seth was as white

asked him if he would take Mary Ann
for better or worse. he gulped and
clicked and swallered until Mary Ann

out. and give him a jab in the ribs with
the point of her elbow, which woke
him up to a scnse of his responsibilities
and he answered. Eyes, mann. I do"

house. but Reverend Moore called Seth
back and asked him II he hadn't forgot
something, and Seth said no. that he
had his hat and umbrella. which was

On Monday, thank goodness, Bales
tooth stopped aching him and sinst
then it has been as quiet as a lamb,
but as Bale says there is no telling
when it may begin to jump again.
Doc says Bale owes him so cents for
pulling the tooth, but Bale says it will
be a cold day when he pays Doc for
pulling a sound tooth outcn his head.
Doc says unless Bale pays the so cents
he will prosecute him to the full extent
of the law, being as the best way to
keep a tooth from aching, is to pull it
when it's sound.

Turrible Tooth
ache for Bale
NObudy Will Know What AgOnies
the Poor Critter Went Through
Until They Read as FOIIeTS::

Bale Hawkins, one of our most re-
spected citizens, was took all of sud
dint with a violent toothache on Sat
urday of last week. 1t was a back
tooth on the left hand side of the
lower Jaw. Bale has had a boiler hole
inside of it for quite a spell back. Now
and then, it would growl and grumble
a little mite in a threatening manner
but on the day ard date menshioned,
it began to jump. We presume that
nobuddy who has never had jumpin
toothache can realize what it IS
Whenever the tooth would give a
jump, SO would Bale, right up into the
air about four feet and boiler until he
could be heard from one end of Bing-
vile to tother. Bales wife clapped
mustard plaster on his face, which
brought a blister as big as a dessert
saucer, but Bale said the tooth ached
him so, he never felt the mustard plas-
ter.
BY and by Bale suffered so much
from the tooth, he didn't know what
else to do, so he went to Doc Liver
more, as last resort. When Doc saw
how Bale was sufferin, he promised
him he would either kill him or cure it
he told Bale he would either pull that
tooth outen his head or pull his lower
jaw off by the roots. Bale told Doc to
go ahead and do his worst, being as
life wasn't worth Twin with a ache like
that in his mouth.
Doc, he looked over his tooth pulling
tools, but he didn't seem to have the
right pair of pinchers handy, so he
run over to Bill Hepburn's blacksmith
shop and borrowed a pair of tongs.
Bill was using the tongs at the time,
bat he told Doc to take EN- and vel
come. if they would help sufferin hui
mainly any.
Bale set down in straight-bacl1
chair and opened his mouth as wide
as he could stretch it, so that Doc
could get a good hold. When Doc got
the tongs clamped on the tooth he
asked Bale if he was ready. Bale
couldn't talk, being as his mouth was
full of tongs, but he nodded his head
Then Doc told him to hold fast to the
chair and he begun to pull and haul
and grunt.
Suddenly the tongs slipped often the
tooth turrible sudden and Doc fell
backwards right to the floor, whacking
his head against the stove with SIGH
violence that it rendered him silly and
foolish for a few minutes and also cut
a cash above his left ear.
Doc jumped up and made another
dash for Bale and with a oath said
he'd pull out that tooth or know the
reason why. Like a lamb at the
slaughter Bale opened his mouth again
and Doc got another hold and pres
emily the tooth came out.
Bale said he thort he felt better al |
though he wasn't quite sure. How
ever, he went home, telling Doc that /
he would SETTLE for pulling the tooth (
later. In few hours, Bale had the (
toothache just as bad as ever, which /
was kind of puzzle to him, until he /
examined hisse1f and found that Doc
had pulled the wrong tooth, a good
sound one, right next to the one that
ached. Well, Bale suffered all through |
Saturday night and all day Sunday
very excrushiating agony He didn't |
even go to church as usual, but staid
at home and walked the floor and
cussed with profanity
