out of the wagon and hat Bright
took the whip from the wagon and
gave all three a cut with the whip.

THREW A BRICK,
HIT SOME RIBS
Nathan Weiss, Of Roosevelt,
indicated Fined Anyway.

Roosevelt. July 14:-Marshal
Michael Bradley, armed with a war
rant charging Nathan Weiss, Of De
Lamar avenue, with having on July
18th assaulted Mrs. Julia Bedner,
had his troubles in making an arrest.
One of Mrs. Bodner's boarders
owed Weiss $34 for goods and &C
cording to Mr.. Bodner's statement
the prisoner went to her house and
demanded that he give her the mans
trunk, which she refused to do.
thereupon sold he would dismiss the
into the street, where he found a
brick which he threw at her. She
was standing in her kitchen at the
time and the brick was thrown
through the open door, striking her
In the ribs.
Complainant stated that she had
two witnesses but that they were not
present. Defendant stated that the
complainant hit him four or five
times with a broom but denied that
the brick hit her, although he ad-
mitted throwing it. The recorder
thereupon said he would dismiss abe
case for lack OF evidence. On com
plant OF Marshal Bradley, defend
ant was tined "a 90 Tor resisting ar
rest. Bradley said that when he
went to execute the warrant, Weiss
said he would not go with him and
that he had to hit him on the arm
to prevent Weiss from striking him.
Weiss called the marshal a bum"
! and attempted to put him out of the
store. Then Bradley used force and
took him to the lookup, where he
wax detained until the hearing Tues
day morning.
One of Weiss supporters stated
publicly on the street that there
would not be a Democratic victory at
the polls as a result of the m~arshal's
methods. AS the marshal had a war
rant directing him what to do, this
statement ought to go in the discard.

The three men on trial were Sher-
rill Clark, brother of E. G. Clark, the
miller, who pleaded guilty. and John
Schmidt and A. N. Simms, farmers.
County Attorney McCanless made
the opening statement for the prose-

in Shady Bend August 7, how Edward

MAY ISSUE HIGHWAY BONDS
Attorney General Gives Opinion I'm.
portant to Towns and Counties
Planning improvements.

Madison.-An opinion of vital in
terest to good roads enthusiasts was
that given by Atty. Gen. Bancroft
wherein it is held that towns or coun-
ties may raise money by the issue and
sale of bonds, devoting the same to
payment for permanent road i'm
provements under the good roads law
passed by the last legislature and
make such payments the basis of
claim for state aid under the law.
The significance of the ruling is
that towns and counties may make
comprehensive and intelligent plans
for a system Of highway building,
raise the money to pay for the same
by bond issue payable in yearly in
stallments and make those payments
the basis for claims for state aid
from year to year until final payment
is made.
