Hamilton Lodge No. 24l Ma
chinists' Union, held another rous-
ing meeting Wednesday evening.
Much routine business was trans
acted.
A communication was received
from machinists' local at Wells
vile, N. Y. stating that the ma

The attendance at the meeting
was large and if some of the slack
ers of the locals of other crafts
would attend one of these meetings
and see the enthusiasm existing
here ii might be an inspiration to
inject som of the pep" into their
own local.

Edward Dissent, last Sunday morn
ing a week ago, in the Atlas Hotel
lobby, and is now locked up in the
County Jail awaiting the outcome
of DeSent's injury, is wanted by
the Covingtou, Ky, authorities.

on August 18th of last year and
charged with carrying concealed
w>apons. At his appearance be-
fore tie court he was bound over
to the grand jury in the sum of
500. He gave this bond in cash
amount and Immediately disap.
peared and hasn't been seen in that
city by the police since.
The shooting affair which took
place in the Atlas Hotel was pub
lished broadcast by the way an
other advertisement for Hamiltcn)
and when read by the Covington
police they readily recognized the
name and description # Smith to
be The man wanted by them. On
last Saturday the officer who ar
rested him year ago in Covington
appeared at the County Jail and
when Smith appeared before him
quickly recognized him as the man
wanted In the Kentucky city. The
Covington authorities will take
care of him as soon as Butler Coun-

likely to be soon.
Smith when told what he was
wanted for said he understood that
was all taken care of by the bunch

his arrest. At the time Smith was
arrested in Covington there was a
strike of machinists on in that city
and he was engaged in the same
work as he has been doing in this
city. Smith and Descent were both
doing guard duty in connection
with the strike at the Niles Too

The first appearance Of Verdun in the
pages of history was in the time of
Julius Caesar who established at Vero-
dunum, as il was then called maya
zine for bis legions
The Germans first attacked Nerdun
In the sixth century. when the Franks
from the northwestern part Of Ger
many took possession Of the town. By
the famous treaty OF yerdun made on
this date in the year S43, verdun form
ed part of the doninious of Lothaire
1t was taken and annexed to the Ger
man empire in 939 10y Otho 1. and plac-
ed under the temporal authority of the
bishops.
Verdun surrendered TO France in
1868, but was not formally ceded to
France until nearly q century later
During the French revolution, in 1892,
the citizens Of Verdun opened their
gates to the Prussians after a lombard
ment of few hours The French com
mandant committed suicide and the
revolutionary government executed a
number of others who shared the re-
sponsibility for the ignominious sur
render including fourteen girls who
had offered flowers to the Prussian
monarch. The Prussians were driven
out after having held the town forty
three days.
The Teutonic hosts again swooped
down upon Verdun in 1870 Unable to
take the town by direct assault, they
invested and bombarded it, and the
French, after brave defense, surren-
dered the fortress with 1000 men and
large stores OF ammunition. yerdun
