Beebe, who is known to most, and
the cadaverous Englishman on Mon
day, with many good specimens Of ex-
hibition poultry journeyed to the Yes
tibule of Heaven. As the sun was
slowly sinking in the West they re-
turned. Give dog bad name
know the rest. From Oak Grove
Farm to Logan the team set a merry
pace and the word soon passed that
Bert was returning. And the natives,
aged and otherwise, stood aghast at
the spectacle of the team trotting
briskly to town. Beebe and t'other
man must have tasted of the wine
when it was red. And within few
minutes of arrival the town was in
vestigating. Lo! the awful disap-
pointment to local gossips, not even
the wierdest, most uncharitable imag-
NATIVE native could do other than ad-
init that both were respectfully entire
ly sober. Fooled again.

MAKE APPLICATION FOR BAIL IN
THE PERSON CASE

The dramatic story of the killing of
Tony Musser, Illinois Central strike
breaking chief, by Carl Person, labor
leader, was told in Judge Charles NJ
Walkers courtroom, a strange series
of circumstances having switched
the arguments for his release on bail
from Clinton, H., to Chicago.
The young defendant, looking like
a boy with his bright, shiny hair
above his face, tanned from his first
outing in five months, was in court.
Spectators were surprised at the
youngness of the leader of the Illinois
Central strikers, who shot down Mus
ser when the latter attacked him.
Attorney Frank Comeford, counsel
for Person, put on three witnesses in
his effort to show cause why Person
should be admitted to bail.
In his opening statement, Conner
ford detailed the circumstances of
the trial; how Person was lured from
the Office of the Strike Bulletin,
which he edited, by phone call from
Musser, who represented himself as
L
son went to the .interurban station,
where he was to meet him, and, not
seeing him, started back.
1t was then that Musser leaped
from the darkened recess of a cigar
store doorway and beat the slight
young labor man to the ground.
person weighs 100; Musser weighed
about 200 pounds.) And, then, when
he was beaten almost insensible, Per-
son drew a magazine revolver and
fired seven bullets with the "rapidity
of riveting machine" into Musser's
body.
Ernest Mitchell, the cigar clerk in
the store next to the interurban sta
ton, testified that shortly before the
shooting Musser came into the cigar
store and asked Mitchell if he knew
"Blondy'' Person.
81 told him YES" said Mitchell.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-06-08

cat that point Person started from
the platform on his way back. He
had to pass our place. Musser went
outside and crouched in the doorway.
When Person went by he sprang at
him and knocked him to the ground.
Then he jumped on top of him and
put his arm around his neck, all the
time beating him. His hold was so
strong that when a crowd gathered
and dragged Musser up he carried
Person with him. Then the hold was
temporarily broken, and Person stag
gered away. But Musser rushed him
again, and then Person fired"
Helen Mccain, telephone operator,
who made the connection between
the man representing himself as Kirk
and Person, testified tina THE call for
