$5 FOR LOSING TEMPER.

Fight at the Panhandle Railroad

'hops Results fn Chester ' Lamb Being Fined.

A rough house that, started in the Panhandle shops at an early hour

yesterday resulted In an assault

and battery case which was heard in the city court. The. two principals in the row were Chester Lamb, the night storekeper at the shops, and Frank Weist, a" machinist's helper. Weist was hit in the forehead with a steel valve by Lamb and the former appeared in court with his head swathed in linen. According to the testimony, Weist ami Hen Bruce went to the. storeroom nt'tT the midnight lunch to get some . Both got into a friendly scufal Weist pitched Bruce into the w;i.-ue bin. Just then John Scott entered the room and added to the confusion by tripping over some waste and falling against a stove. Lamb Lost His Temper. Storekeeper Lamb lost his temper and ordered all three men out of the room, but they wished to have a little more sport and refused to leave. Lamb began to shove Bruce, then Weist and Scott came to Bruco's rescue, and according to Lamb, began to "crowd the storekeeper. The men did not curse or strike Lamb, he stated, but fearing that they might do him injury, he hit Weist over the

head with the valve. Weist took the count. It was necessary for the attending physician to take ' three stitches to close the waund. Judge Converse told Lamb that he had no business losing his temper and then assessed a fine of $5 and costs.

WAR VETERANS MEET AT HOME OF ISAAC LITTLE.

count of ill health, was the hanny

Young Raymond Bass, the nine year old unfortunate lad whose home has principally been on the streets since he was first able to walk, was

provided with a home yesterday Judge Fox heard the little colored boy's case yesterday in juvenile court and then ordered that he be sent to the reform school at Plainfield. Raymond seemed to be pleased with the court's action. The mother, Mrs. Alice Bass, shed no tears as some time ago she decided the best place for the boy was at the reform schooL Says Father Was Lynched. Young Bass confided "the history of his life to Sheriff Meredith ami frankly confessed that he was a thief. He also stated that his father, George Bass, had been lynched a few years ago by a mob in North Carolina. Raymond stated that he did not know what his father had done but that he fled from North Carolina and eventually settled in Richmond. After remaining here some time he returned to . his old North Carolina home and the reception committee that awaited him was an angry mob with a hemp rope.

Six in One Term.

Before hearing the case, Judge Fox was somewhat loath to send Bass to

the reform school as he feared the of

ficers of that institution might reach a conclusion that the local authorities

regarded the school as the exclusive property of Wayne county. Judge Fox

stated that if Bass was sent to the

school he would be the sixth sent

A PETITION TO KIRKMAN.

Nearly 200 of Those Who See the Advantage in Having Clean Sport in Richmond on Sabbath Afternoon Put Names to a Telegram.

: To Hon. R. E. Kirkman, : : Indianapolis, Ind. : : "We favor Sunday baseball." : The above laconic, but positive telegram was sent yesterday by local fans to Senator Kirkman. whose stand on the Sunday , baseball bill, which is to be considered by the senate this week, is uncertain. To this telegram there were 154 names attached. The petition to Senator Kirkman was circulated by Cash Beall, an enterprising business man and an enthusiastic baseball fan. He started out with his petition at 10 o'clock this morning and at 11:20 o'clock he returned to his store with 154 names attached. From each person who signed the petition he collected five cents to defray the expense of tele

graphing the petition. "If I could have taken the time it would have been easy to secure 5,000 names to the petition," ' said Mr. Beall. Those who signed the petition were laboring men, shop men, clerks and business men who work hard all

week and who like to have some kind of recreation on Sundays.

The local fans were aroused to take this measure in showing Senator Kirkman how they stood on the Sun-

daj- baseball bill, by the action yester

day of the ministerial association in

petitioning Senator. Kirkman to vote

against the bill.

May Irwin Gennett. . May Irwin in her new play, "Mrs. Wilson-Andrews," will be the attraction at the Geanett Friday night. The

new comedy is of the farcical order, !

in character something like the others in which she has been seen and was written for her by George V. Hobait, who, it will -be remembered, is also the author of other comedies in which she has appeared. In "Mrs. Wilson-Andrews," Miss Irwin is said to have a role that is much to her liking, of the kind which means a laugh every minute that she is on the stage. The story of the play is that of a society woman. Mrs. Wil-

;son, played by Missjrwin, whose husband had disappeared several years ; before the time of the, play, and j whom she thinks is dead. She is to marry another man. Colonel Andrews, and on the day the ceremony is to take place, a friend of Mr. Wilson's appears upon the scene. Through

some mistake he gives her the impression that her former partner, Murgatroyd Wilson, i3 still in the land of the living, and she at once comes to the conclusion that she is a bigamist. This friend, Herman Schultz, tries to undeceive her, but for some reason or other he is unable to do so, and to escape the consequences of her supposed crime she decides to run away without telling Colonel Andrews, but puts her confession into a phonograph with the idea that after her departure he will learn the dread truth from the talking machine. It eventually turns

tout that Mr. Wilson was dead after all and everything would be all right of (except for the fact that the record in

the phonograph has not been changed

and Colonel Andrews gets the con-1

fession second handed at an inopportune moment. The play has numerous complications other than those mentioned and is a succession of laughs. Arthur Dunn Gennett. The comedian, Arthur Dunn, comes
