and hunt the Stubble fields over
for rabbits. Somehow, the DEM

As far as Mr.. HoStetler is con-
cerned we have, in the short time
he has been here, found him to
be a gentleman and we believe
that he will serve the patrons in
an acceptable manner, but the
Democratic leaders will patiently
watch for Mr.. Neeley to stick his
head above the political horizon
at a future date. They can be
counted upon to give him a re-
ceptiOn that will not be lacking

WAR "PIPE DREAM"

New York, Sept. 17-Another
pilots pipe dream, magnified into a
sea battle, was circulated over the
country today by other news agen-

story. It is companion piece to the
story of the now-famous battle of

MAN IS ASSAULTED
 IN VIEW OF OFFICER
Gontrano Cataldo Smashcs c. A Reiderick in the Jaw Without
 Apparent Revocation.

Gontrano Cataldo, an Arch street newspaper proprietor, will have to appear in court tomorrow morning to answer to charge of assaulting G. A. Riederick, who claims to be a former New York newspaper man and was associated with Frank Cas- sassa in his Italian newspaper ven- ture The accused is out on bonds of $1OO.
 The assault was one of the boldest that has taken place in this city for a long time. Officer Quirk was walk ing down Main street and he noticed that stout middle aged man in a gray suit was walking ahead of him. When in front of T. w. O'Connor's store the officer was surprised to see a dapper little man rush out and strike the stout person sting1ns blow in the face. His glasses were broken and his cheek was cut from the blow.
 As soon as the assailant saw the officer he threw up his hands and said All right, take me in if you want to. But there's lots behind this.' Yes" said his victim, there is lots behind this.'' In the station house Cataldo offered no explanation for his act and ripped out a $10O bill and threw it nonchalantly across the counter as his bond.
 MT. Reiderick has retained Attor- ney Joseph G. Woods and intends to press the charges against his assail- ant. It is alleged that the trouble between the two men arises over some financial difficulties.
 MT. Reiderick is much disturbed over the assault and over alleged threats made by his assailant, and has appealed to Chief Rawlings for police protection, saying that he feels certain that an attempt will be made on his life. He. has been hanging around the police station ever since the assault and seems thoroughly scared. t.r'r

is safd that he was at his best as an actor in The Sunshine of Paradise Alley" a we'll known piece. Since then he has been vaudeville actor, and was starting on his sixth season when death overlook him.
 Walsh belonged to numerous ac- tors associations and societies and at the time of his death had a mem- bership card of the Newark T. M. A. in his pocket. ... WaIsh's Last Song.
 It is queer coincidence that Walsh's last song which he sang last night before he was taken with his fatal sickness was 1T Want to Go Home Again." His act opened with himself, as an old Irishman, sitting on the river front playing a flute. He had received letter from the old country from "Finnegan" when the younger member of the team came out on the stage. He sang about the girl he left behind him and then the old man took out a victrola or photograph and, placing it on a barrel, did an old fashioned clog dance, remarking that he eSalways carried his own orchestra with him.
 It is thought that the strenuous dancing that the old man did in his act was too much for him in his advanced years and was instrumental in bringing about his stroke. His son, however, says that his father never had an attack of any kind pre- vious to last night.
 Medical Examiner T. c. Wright, M. D., viewed the remains and gave the cause of death as apoplexy.
