THE M'CLELLAN ASSAULT AND BATTERY CASE

GOESTO SQUIRE HARVEY The Date of Trial Set for September 21 Claim There is a Prejudice in the Case Here. There was a large assemblage of persons at the city building this morning, some as witnesses and others as spectators in the assault and battery case against Theodore. McClellan. The case has been rather muddled in as much as charges were filed against Mr. McClellan in police court and also in Squire Spink's eoirrt. Constable Clay claims to have made the arrest first and Patrolman Staubach makes the same claim. However, the case was called in police court this morning. Prosecutor Comstock and assistant, Robert L. Study, represented the State and Attorney Wilfred Jessup for the defense. On the affidavit of Mr. McClellan that he could not be given a fair trial in this court on account of the prejudice that exists in the case, a change of venue was granted to Squire Harvey's court in Centerville, and the date of trial set for Wednesday, September 21. It is understood the prosecutor will ask a change of venue from the Centerville court to circuit court. There are a large number of witnesses subpoenaed and the trial will be a hard "fought one. 4 REPDBLICA1 Have a Good Meeting at the Coliseum Last Night.

Next Saturday is the day set apart by the county commissioners as the time to dispose of the iron fence around the court house. The fence will be sold to the best bidder. It is one of the best iron fences in the State and ought to sell readily. Have a Literary Program at the First M. E. Church. The Epworth League of the First M." E. church gave a very pleasant and instructive program at their meeting in the church parlors last night. The meeting was under the efficient management of Mrs. Longnecker and must be regarded as a very successful one from every point of view. The musical numbers were particularly good and were thoroughly appreciated by those present as evidenced by frequent encores. Papers of real literary merit were read by Mary Friedley and Reuben Myrick upon topics of current interest. . Short talks on matters of present popular concern were given by Raymond Wehrly, Rev. L. H. Bunyan and others. These were well received and warmly applauded. These social and literary evenings have been made quite a feature of the league and under management so able as that of Mrs. Longnecker must certainly "row in favor.

Thompson's Compositions to Be Renedered Here by Sousa. The coming of Sousa 's band is now a felt fact and Mr. S. A. Thompson's untiring energies to secure this celebrated musician should have a hearty response from the citizens of Uichmond and vicinity. As is well known Mr. Thompson is a musical composer himself and was very much pleased to know that two of his com-' positions will be rendered at the matinee on the afternoon of the 23rd iist. These are entitled "Danseof the Mountain Elves" and " March of the National' Guard.' The latter has a very pleasing ett'eet, beginning softly growing louder and ending softly. In commenting on this selection, Mr. Thompson paid a fitting compliment to Mr. Henry Runge who added little friezes of "Star Spangled Banner," "Dixie," "Auld Lang Syne" and "Yankee Doodle." "Whatever success and pleasure may come from the rendition of these comjKtsitions, Mr. Thompson wants Mr. Runge to have full credit for his additions. WELL PLEASED ! Were the People on the Attitude Taken by Mr. Reid. There was considerable pleasure expressed yesterday at the way Mr. D. O. Reid looked at the senatorship. He said in the published interview just exactly what he was expected to say. If now remains with his friends in this city and all over the State to do the vest. It would ill become Mi. Reid to say: "Yes, sir, I am a candidate." And while he didn't say that, his answer in substance meant the same. The delegation from old Wayne will certainly rally to Mr. Reid's support. In the Jahr Markt Contest is Very Keen. The race for first place in the voting contest was keen yesterday between the eignt eoniesrams.
