June 10.
An AFFAIR had occurred at Phllippi, w.
Va, where a Confederate camp had been
dispersed and routed by a Federal sorce
on June 3. but the Confederates made no
stand whatever. and the encounter ian.
not properly be called a battle. At Great
Bethel. a week later. there was a pitched
battle. The forces on zach side were
large enough to be called an army"
At that time Fortress Monroe in yir-
Einia. the strongest fertilization I'm the
country and the only one In the South
which had not been captured by the
Confederates. was held by a Union army
under Gen. Benjamin +. Butler. The
people OF the low country of South
eastern Virginia, In the ne~lghborhood OF
Fortress Monroe. were enthusiastic
secessionlsts, and so a small. Confed-
crate army under Gen. J. II. Magruder
had approached to Great Bethel, twelve
miles from Fortress Monroe, and had
dug intrenchments and made their DO
sition strong. Their force numbered
1850 men. They patrolled all the coun-
tryside. overa wing the few Union SYM
pathizers. and kept close watch on the
great fortress. After a time, they
moved forward a part OF their force to
Little Bethel, four miles nearer the
fortress. and made this an outpost.
Gen. Butler determined TO drive out
the Confederates and destroy their
camp. He planned to surprise and cap
ture the detachment at Little Bethel
first and then march the four miles 10

Leonard Mooney Near Deaths Door and Cunningham
Located in East Grand Forks

Leonard Mooney, S21 First avenue,
Is lying in critical condition in st.
Michael's hospital suffering from a
number Of knife wounds received
about 1880 o'clock this morning in a
fracas with A. D. Cunningham, the
colored bootblackf who operates a
shining stand onaHlpha avenue.
Mooney received a bad cash on the
arm, two bad ,slashes in the side and
q deep wound In the back. He was
rushed to the hospital shortly after
the fight, which occurred in the 600
block on. First avenue, and his
wounds attended to. The physician
at first despaired of his life, as the
man was in very. weak state, owing
to the. profuse bleeding and it was
also thought that his lungs had been
pierced by the knife. but this morn
ing he was much improved and it was
stated that unless complications set
in he will be able to leave the hos
pital in few weeks.
According to Moneys story he was
down town when he met his brother,
Tom, in an intoxicated condition. He
started to take him home and the two
were in the GO Oblock on First ave-
nue. when they met Cunningham in
company with white woman. Tom
Mooney made some remark and Cum
ningham, after taking the woman to
his house, returned and met the
Moneys and turned on the two. using
a knife with disastrous results.
Leonard Mooney Ia a patient in the
hospital and Tom Mooney is nurs-
ing a few cuts on his hands.
Cunningham Located.
Late this afternoon Cunningham
was located in East Grand Forks and

river to have talk with the negro.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1911-08-14

Cunningham stated that he had cut
the two men, but that he had just
|'provoeation.
OF Cunningham who rooms with the
latter in First avenue, Tom Mooney
was seated at the edge of the side
walk regretting his excuses with the
amber fluid, when Cunningham and
his woman friend came along. Re-
marks were made that aroused the
ire of the colored man and he picked
up piece of plank and knocked one
of the Mooney brothers down. The
woman left for parts unknown and
Cunningham entered his home.
He told of the occurance to Turpin
and stated that he was going out to
have the matter settled with the two
Turpin tried to pursuade his partner
to remain in the house, but was un-
successful. He then decided to 90 out
and see if he could not pursuade the
Moneys to stop the quarreling. He
went out on the street and talked
with Leonard Mooney, and while they
were talking Cunningham hove in
sight.
The Mooney brothers started after
Cunningham and it was then that the
stabbing occurred.
Cunningham, when questioned by
the police, stated that Turpin's story
was true, but that the Mooney broth
ers had started the quarrel in the
first place and that while he may
have done wrong in going out doors
after he had once entered the house,
was really not accountable for his &C
lions because Of the insulting re-
marks that had been made.
1t is expected that a warrant will
be issued for the arrest Of the negro,
although he is being kept under sur
veillance.

Some time ago States Attorney

ger service proprietors that in the

get some of his clothes. Permission
was granted and the next heard from

Scherer had followed the example
of thieves who had broken into the
place about month ago and had gone
out of the building through win
dow in the river side. From the win
dow he climbed into tree which is
located just next to the building and
from the tree to the balcony. From
the balcony it was an easy matter to
escape by the rear.
A great hue and cry was made
when the escape was discovered and
a search that lasted until about 2
o'clock in the morning was made.

ADJUSTMENTS

1t is we'll known fact that the
hardest things to invent are the title
and last acts of plays. Many a play
which has aroused the enthusiasm Of
the audience in the early part of the
evening is spoiled by last act which
only unwinds the tangled skeins of
plot and in such a manner that the
audience knows just what is going. to
happen. The play which Chauncey
Olcott is producing this season, and
which will be the attraction at the
Metropolitan theater. Monday. August
q, might have better title than
"Nacushla." as it expresses nothing
of the quaint humor contained in it's
lines and situations, but inasmuch as
people are attracted by the name of
Olcott anyway, it does not detract
from the plays drawing qualities.
The last act Of this play. however,
is very good and for that reason this
has been one of the real hits of the
season. Interest in the plot is held
to the final speech, there is no flag
ging of events or situations and it
would take pretty keen judge to
determine how it is going to end.
