IS FINED FOR
STEALING WATER
USED 1T IN ADMINISTERING
TO A SICK MAN.
Now Sues School Directors for
Damages.

MONTGOMERY, Mo-, March 30.
Suit for $4,000 damages has
been filed in the circuit court
here by Warren Zumwalt, a far
mer living near New Florence,
against the directors of the Sun
beam Schoolhouse, S G. See,
John Worley and John Down
ing. The suit grows out of the
arrest and fine imposed upon
Humwalt during the severe
drought and hot summer, when
he took water from the Sun
beam Schoolhouse well. He
said the water was for "Uncle
Johnnie" Green, u years old,
who was critically i'll at Zum-
waits house and did not like to
drink pond water. Green died
few days after the water was
stolen, according to Zumwalt's
statement.
The damage suit is based on
a publication in the New Flor
ence Leader. The petition
said the directors had published
in the Leader a malicious and
Infamous article" charging
Zumwalt with being wholly
unworthy of confidence and
trust in the community in which
he lived, " and the promulgation
of the article greatly humiliated
him and brought him into ridi-
cule and contempt in the minds
of the people, and that he has
been greatly injured in his good
name and reputation, and has
been made to suffer mental an
guish, for which he asks $20,000I
actual damages and $5, ,000 puni-
tive damages.
The article on which the suit
is based was addessed: "To
whom it may concern" ard
charged that Warren Zumwalt
had been from time to time
publishing false and libelous
statements concerning the fine
that was imposed upon for
mlawfully taking water from
the Sunbeam Schoolhouse well
Il admit, " ZWmwalt said, |
that after | had tried to get
water other places and that
after the directors had locked
the pump and chain | broke it,
and drew the water and took il
home to Uncle Johnnie. i
told them when they arrested
me and fined me that | was
guilty as charged and | also
told them that when | paid the
hne that it would certainly come
back to me with interest.

result Henry A. Winters, at present re

FIND BOMB
CASE CLUE
Finger-prints on Internal
Machine May Lead
to Capture.

NEW YORK, March 19.-It was
learned today hiatt finger-prints on the
bomb that exploded in the apartments
of Judge Rosalsky Saturday night and
so nearly cost several lives, are being
regarded as a promising clue in run
ming down the perpetrators of the out
rage.
Through these impressions, recorded
on the various parts of the internal
machines mechanism, 1t Is firmly be-
lieved that the identity of the bomb
maker will be established, and his ar
rest follow as a matter of course. In
view of Commissioner Dougherty's
positive declarations that the nan who
rugged UP the Rosalsky bomb was an
expert. and that 1t was sent to the
judge by some one with a well-defined
motive of revenge, it is strongly be-
lieved today that Dougherty and his
men are preparing for a big u
Everything in the construction of the
Internal machine suggests the work of
an expert, possibly a clever criminal
Upon whom Judge Rosalsky had I'M
posed a prison term and who, lately re-
leased from prison, set about to ei-
feet a diabolical revenge
It is on this line that the police have
taken up the inger-print clue. The
task of making the bomb involved the
use of several greasy materials. The
police declare that the man they seek,
in hal.iling these, surely must have
recorded unusually distinct inger-print
impression on the various parts of the
mechanism.
In speaking of his belief that the
sender of the bomb was a man with a
motiye-some criminal, perhaps, whom
he had sentenced to a term in prison
Judge Rosalsky said:
THE man who sent me the bomb
must have had a motive. There is al
ways asmotive in everything-a real
or fancied g-rievance-but I know of no
real grievance any one could have
against me. / have no doubt the po-
lice will not only look up the cases in
which I have imposed heavy sentences
recently, but they will look up the

To Sue for Fish

damages.
The fish and game authorities are

The plan of putting chemicals In the
water is on a PAL with the action Of
the East Jersey Water Company,
which put tons of bleaching powder
into the Boonton water supply to kill
germs.
The blue vitriol, it is said, was more
damaging to the fish than is the

STRIKE OF 5000 MINERS
AVERTED BY CONCESSION.

SHAMOKIN, Pa, March ia strike
of 5000 workmen in the Shamokin field
of the anthracite coal regions has been
averted by the Mineral Railroad and
Mining Company consehting to sell all
sizes of coal to the mine workers for
use in their homes. Yesterday 800
workmen at the Scott colliery of the
company were rendered idle by 800
mine workers because the company
would not sell them the pea size of
coal But, though the company has
consented, the workers did not return
to the mines because they now want
discharged a workman whom they dis
like. The company has refused to dis
charge the man.
The Mineral Railroad and Mining
Company, which is a subsidiary of the
Pennsylvania railroad, refused to sell
pea coal to its employees yesterday be-
cause it said 1t wanted the coal to fill
other orders. i
