CATER IS ARRESTED
Negro Charged with a Muir
derous Assault.

John Cater, colored, who on April
Is, laid in wait for Eugene Brown at
the rear door of the Westcott hotel
and slashed Brown with a knife, was
arrested at Marion yesterday and
brought back to this city Sunday
by Officer Westenberg. He was ar
raigned this morning in police court,
through his attorney, and his bond
fixed at $500. He is charged with fell
onious assault and battery with intent
to murder.
Cater and Brown had had an argu-
ment last Monday about an order
Both are employed as walters at the
Westcott hotel Cater went outside
the back door that evening, and laid
for Brown. When Brown came out
Cater slashed at him, wounding him
over the heart, on the left leg above
the knee and several other places
none of the wounds however were
dangerous. The one slash over the
heart would have resulted fatally if
the knife had not struck a rib and
glanced off.
Cater disappeared and went to Ma
rion where he secured employment as
a waiter under the name of McNary
He sent for his clothes, Ninth and
South B streets. They were shipped to
Marion and he was arrested through
this clue. He will be bound over to
circuit court and tried there.

Speaking of the great power the

once said: I'VE would consider q game
of chess as played in this country mere
childs play. An ordinary Brahman
chess player could carry on three or
four games at a time without incon-
venience. The usual game played by
the Brahmans consists in checkmating
with one pawn designated when the
play begins. ] have seen man per-

on er to three who beat them and threw
them aside. State police on duty all
night at the Leggetts Creek mine, a
mile away, hurried over and thier
coming rallied the local police and to-
gether the officers charged the mob.

Bricks, stones and clubs were thrown
and the officers, dropping their clubs,
C. ew their guns and began to force the
crowd back
Some shots were fired by the police

road police came UP on a special car
and began to hand out guns to the
local policemen.

hearing of charges against Judge
Robert Archibald, Of the commerce
court, was resumed here today, Ed
ward ]. Williams, with whom Arch
bald Is said to have obtained from the
Erie railroad an option on coal lands.
was on the stand.
Williams was asked why Captain
May of the Erie railroad, had first de-
clined to give him an option, IL the
land was on the market, and why was
it necessary for Williams TO obtain =
letter from Judge Archibald before
Captain May would give the option.
You know that Archibald was a
federal Judge at the time and had con-
siderable railroad litigation in his
court, didn't your" asked Chairman
Clayton. And you knew that Captain
May was a railroad and corporation
man."
Williams replied that he did and
said he thought these circumstances
would have an influence in getting the
option from the Erie.
Williams admitted that he and
Archibald decided not to sell the culn
(coal waste) after they found the gov
