OTEIHML WILL BE OBSERVED BY ELKHORII CHURCH

Congregation in Southern Part of the County Has Been Established for One Hundred Years. .SERVICES NEXT SUNDAY TO BE APPROPRIATE. jThe First Structure Was Put . Up by the Baptists, Second By the Methodists and Third by the Friends. Next Sunday, at the regular annual May meeting of the congregation of the Elkhorn Friends church, the centennial anniversary of the founding 'of the church will be observed and it is expected that all the people in that section of the county will attend the ceremony. It will be an all day meeting and those who attend will bring their own dinners. Services will be held in the ' morning and then the observances of the one hundredth birthday of the churc h, which is probably the oldest in the county, will take place. The program for the event will not be an elaborate one. J. S. -Helms, clerk of the church, will read a carefully prepared history of the church, which incidentally will bo a history of the part of the county in which the church is located. This history will be of great interest. FcJloving the reading of the history of the church several addresses will be given by pioneer residents. It is known that the church was founded in 1M7. but the day and month is not known, owing to the fact that nearly all the earlier records of the church were burned years ago. Lazarus Whitehead, probably the first tettler in southern Wayne county, do nated the grounds on which the original church was built. This first church was made of logs and two years later It was destroyed by fire. A more modern church was built; and it stood until when the present church was built. The. Elkhorn church cemetery is the oldest in the county, and the first white child born in the coun ty was buried there. This child the daughter of John Beard and she was buried in the summer of 1808. The first marriage in the church was that of Miss May Whitehead and John Hunt. This was also the first marriage ceremony performed in the county. It is a peculiar thing that the first church was Baptist, the second one Methodist Episcopal and the present oe Friends. PLUMBERS STILL OUT; HO MEETING HELD Places on the Outside Are Al- - so Being Affected. Plumbers of Richmond are still on a trike, and as yet there have been no consultation between the men and the master plumbers for an adjustment of grievances. Richmond is not the only town where contracts will be de layed for a small time, for surrounding1 towns in other counties will feel the effects of the strike. The local firms do a large business in neighbor ing places, and it is said that there aire several foreign contracts now on the books of the companies affected ty the strike. SEVENTEEN APPLICANTS FOR THE EXAMINATION Many Want to Be Clerks Carriers. or IS LARGEST ON RECORD. Postmaster Spekenhier has been apprised that seventeen persons will take the examination for clerks and carriers to be held in the postmaster's office. May The number of people desiring to take the examination this year is the largest in the history of the local office, as heretofore the list has never run over "ten and has done exceptionally well to reach that figure. Last year there were six who took the examination. The increased salaries, it is thought, are responsible for the renewed interest in the examinations. SUIT FOR INSURANCE HAS BEEN DISMISSED.

W. D. HAYWOOD, AT EXTREME RIGHT. This picture is from a snapsnot taken in the court, during the progress of trie Haywood trial, at Boise, Idaho. At the left, Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for Haywood, is sitting with Vernie Haywood, the little daughter of the accused standing at his side. In front of him is Frank H. Richardson, associate counsel. At the extreme right is the prisoner, W. D. Haywood.

CLAIM ARE IIIIIOCEIIT OF LARCENY CHARGE George Fredricks and Tom Johnson Enter Pleas of Not Guilty. KELLEY FOR THE DEFENSE. BOTH OF THE ACCUSED ARE NICE APPEARING MEN AND DRESS IN GOOD STYLE HAVE BEEN IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT. George Fredricks and Tom Johnson, who were arrested the day the Barnum & Bailey circus showed here, were arraigned in the "circuit court. Under the indictments by the grand jury Fredricks and Johnson were charged with stealing a bottle of perfume from, the Quigley & Babylon pharmacy valued at $5 and Fredricks was also jointly connected with Frank Smith of , robbing -Walter Burden, colored, of $7 while riding on a street car. Attorney W. II. Kelley appeared for the defendants and entered pleas of not guilty to all charges. The amount of bond for each man and the, date of trial will be fixed later. Attorney Kelley claims his clients are absolutely innocent of the charges preferred against them and states that these men have been done a great injustice by the police. Mr. Kelley said that the aif horities at Columbus, O., and Pittsburg, Pa., both entered claims for these two men but pointed to .he fact that the police in these two cities had found it absolutely impossible to identify them or to bring any evidence against them Nice Appearing Men. Fredricks and Johnson are nice appearing men and when they appeared in the circuit court both were attired in the heighth of fashion. Mr. Kelley admits that both Fredricks and Johnson are gamblers but denies that they are common crooks. Prosecutor Jessup states that a week ago last 'Saturday evening when Burden was robbed on a street car Fredricks was with Smith, who was arrested that night by carelessly running down a blind alley. The prosecutor 'states that Fredricks jumped . off the street car when the hue and cry was started after Smith and that Fredricks made his escape by running down North Eighth street. Some few days ago Sheriff Meredith learned that Fredricks and Johnson had planned a jail delivery. He put them at once in solitary confinement and they will be held in this manner until their cases are disposed of. The cases of these two men probably will be heard this term of court. PETITION FOR GUARDIAN FILED IN THE COURT. The rase of I e Evans against Wilr Ham H. Evans has been filed in the circuit court. It is alleged that the defendant is a person of unsound mind and the court is petitioned for an order to appont a guardian for him.

STEELE IS LET OFF WITH JAIL SENTENCE Entered Plea of Guilty to Charge of Larceny.

WARNED BY THE COURT. Charles Steele, a young man who has been serving time in the county jail for several weeks, appeared in the circuit court, coming direct from the county jail, and drew a fine of $5 and a sentence of thirty more days in the bastile. He plead guilty to a charge of peyt larceny. In reading the affidavit in which the young man was " charged with stealing two. trilobites and . some old coins, the face of Deputy Clerk Huey was wreathed with smiles. Young Steele was first given a jail sentence of sixty days but when he told Judge Fox that he did not know the trilobites, "stones" he' called them,' were of any value and that he had given one to' a bartender and one to a policeman for keepsakes, Judge Fox reduced the jail sentence to thirty days. Judge Fox gave Steele some fatherly advice and told him that he had twice" been convicted of petit larceny and that if he were convicted a third time it would be in the power of the court to send him to the penitentiary for a life term. Young Steele recently expressed a willingness to serve time in the state prison:, so that the threat and warning of the court did not seem to have much effect on him. n CASE IS COMPROMISED; TAKEN FROM DOCKET. The case of Frances Thomas against Emily Crull has been compromised and dismissed from the docket. On the death of Mr. Crull his widow, the de fendant, sold property without an or der of the court.

Haywood Trial.

iLa. NO ONE PUNISHED FOR POND OFFENSE Jury Returned Ja Verdict in Favor of Herbert Wickett Despite the Evidence. HE PROVED AN ALIBI. CHARGES AGAINST ALLEN, MILTON AND RYLE WERE DISMISSED UPON MOTION BY THE PROSECUTOR. Herbert Wickett was found guilty Wednesday evening on a charge of malicious trespass. The case wras on trial Wednesday In the city court and about 5:30 in the evening it went to the jury, which did not return a ver dict until about 7:30 o'clock. It was charged that Wickett, . Jute Milton, Will Ryle and Jim Allen, on the evening of May 13, opened a sluice in the east bank of the pond at the hospital grounds, and that the damage done amounted to $2. Allen, Milton and Ryle turned state's evidence against Wickett, . but even this testimony failed to convince the jury of Wickett's guilt. Attorney Byram C. Bobbins, for the defendant had Wickett testify that, he. was not on the grounds of the Reid hospital on the night of May 13, and Bill Musser, a saloon keeper, swore that Wickett spent the greater part of that evening in his saloon. . In his argument Mr. Robbins asked the jury not to return a verdict against the defendant, because in case they did so the costs of the case would have to be paid by "the poor, white-haired father of the defendant." , This argument, combined with the fact that the destruction of the property was only valued $2 seemed to have its effect on the jury. Allen. Kyle and Milton were discharged on a motion made by the prosecutor who stated that they had earned their liberty by making truthful statements while on the witness stand. According to the evidence introduced in the case, Jiln Allen did not take an active part in opening the sluice. BIG CROWDJS GOING t Special Train to Lynn Will Carry Large Number.

ARE US ING OTHER HOUSES FOR THE PRESENT AND HAVE NOT FULLY DECIDED WHAT TO DO. Work? on remodeling the condemned slaughter houses is progressing rapidly, and within the course of the next few days the Holzapfel plant will be in such shape as. to pass government muster. The building has been whitewashed throughout, sidewalls built and a new cement floor is now being placed in the butchering rooms. Ev ery part of the house will be made to conform to the government and city regulations. Maher and Mitchell, owners of the other condemned slaugh tering establishment, are now butchering with other houses and have not fully decided whether they will erect a new slaughtering house or not. There are several things which are at the present time delaying their decision, chief of which is whether the South Side bridge will be erected' at any near date. The new bridge would pass di rectly'over their present site. Screens will be placed at all the windows and doors of the various houses to conform with the regulations. As yet no one has been apponted to make the inspection-of houses here, preliminary to the Installation of government inspection. A man is expected here at any date, however, to look over the grounds. sent the most interesting in the con test. One day it is Miss Sands who heads the list and the next day Miss Lashley goes to the front. Where it will end will not be known until the contest ends and one or the other goes to first place permanently. (Continued on Page Two.)

EXCITING

BEAUTIFUL COAT OF WHITEWASH APPLIED BYPORTLAHD Quaker Ball Team Was Nol Able to Even Get a Look In in Wednesday's Game with Jaybirds. HORN WAS TOUCHED UP FOR NINE HITS

Best the Local Aggregation Could Do with Wagner was Two and They Brought in Nothing. Portland, Ind., May 23. The JaT. Rirds gave the Quakers a beautiful' trouncing Wednesday, shutting the Itichmondites out 4 to 0. The locals banged out nine safe ones off Horn's delivery, two of them triples and one double, and they did sorao mighty fast)! ball playing also. Wagner was in the box for tb locals and he proved a Chinese puzzlj to the visitors. They only found him for two safe ones and they were earlyj in the game, before he was fully warms ed up to his work. However, these two hits were productive of nothing in the way of runs, although it looked, like they had something started in the first. Flummer got to first on be-f ing hit by a pitched ball. One man; was down when he received the giffe and a- single by Justice put him on! third. Then when Justice started to steal second he was surprised by Harms shooting the ball down to Par-, ker, who touched Justice and returned the ball to Harms at the plate in ample time to retire Plummer as the lat ter was trying to score on the second base play. It ended their only real chance to score, and seemed to leave them in a daze. From then on they only had two men left on bases, nearly every. inning being of the one, two, three order for them. The game was remarkably clean and fast and free from any disputes. The fielding of Tommy Hitter was one of the features of the game. He robbed Durham of two hits by taking them off the fence, and he got one that belonged in Jonas' assortment In the same manner. Score:
