BODLE FINED $4,000 IN
POLICE COURT MONDAY
Pleads Guilty to Assault on Captain
Walter R. Cupp, Recruiting
Officer

J. E. Bodle, a farmer and socialist
living near Caldwell, pleaded guilty to
a charge of assault and battery in
the police court Monday and was fined
$SO.OOO. The assault was committed
Saturday afternoon and upon Captain
Walter K. Cupp, recruiting officer for
the National Guard.
A great many people witnessed the
assault on Captain Cupp. Great resent
ment was aroused by the incident
For a while it was feared that the
crowd might attack Bodle. The officers
took him in charge at once and he
was placed in the city Jail.
Reports of eye-witnesses are to the
effect that Bodle took exception to the
recruiting officers arguments dealing
with the necessity for cnlistments. 1t
is claimed that Captain Cupp depre-
ciated argument at such a time and
turned to address the bystander who
was more sympathetic listener. The
complaint charged that Bodle then
struck Cupp in the face.
Arraigned before Police Judge Ben
Dunlap Monday morning, Bodle en-
tered plea of guilty at once. His fine
was fixed at $50. This was SIS more
than the accused man had on his per
son, and he was allowed time to get
in touch with friends. After some
little delay he re-appeared and paid
the fine.
Confederate Veteran uses Cane
Captain John Bowman, a veteran Of
the Civil war, captain in the Con
federate army, was nearby when the
attack on Captain Cupp was made.
Captain Bowman thought that a friend
of Bodies was intending to take part
in the affair and used his cane vigor-
ously on Bodle. The friend thought
it better to restrain himself when Cap
tain Bowman with appraised cane made
his attack.
Citizens of Caldwell were highly
pleased with the loyalty shown by
the Confederate veteran, Captain Bow
man. They raised fund Immediately
and will present him with a gold
headed cane as soon as the same can
be secured.

CHAIRMAN LEWIS OUT

WHEN early last week The West Virginian Is
w Washington representative reported that
there were discussions of troublesome
character among the occupants of the Democratic
band wagon prompt denials were printed in the
Democratic press. Democratic Gubernatoria Can
didate Cornwel in his Hampshire Review went so
far as to call the story "lurid" and say that he
could not see how row could be raised over the
question of which issues, state national, should
be given preference in the conduct of the Demo
cratic campaign in this state.
Apparently row was raised and Lewis is out
upon the pretext that his business interests demand
all his attention. This is classic and has
served to cover many retreat in politics. 1t will
not deceive many people, however, nor will it pre-
vent them from wondering just what made Lewis
retire in the very middle Of the fight, while he was
to all intents and purposes under fire.
Well, the campaign after late start is beginning
to develop rapidly. Maybe Ex-Charman Lewis is
gifted with prescience. Maybe, in other words, he
see what is in store for the Democratic ticket
in this state and nation, and has quit while the
quitting is good
