NEARLY A HUNDRED FORMER RESIDENTS WELCOMED TO CITY large Assembly of People Was On Main Street This Morning to Greet the "Prodigals" From Indianapolis.

WELCOME WAS CORDIAL BUT NOT BOISTEROUS. "Official" Reception Squad Was Stranded in Centerville And So the Welcoming Was Done by Others. Hundreds of men, women and children stood on Main street, which was gaily decorated with flags and "welcome" signs, like you sometimes see hung above the entrance of an tindertakers shop on gala occasions, and welcomed ninety-two former RichmondItes, now law abiding citizens of Indianapolis, as they arrived in state this morning at 11 o'clock on two special interurban cars. The welcome extended the home comers was typical of Richmond cordial but not boisterous. When the two cars cast anchor at the corner of Eighth and Main streets their passengers hurriedly disembarked and fell Into the welcoming arms of their numerous friends and relatives, who constituted a self-appointed glad hand committee in placo of the "official" reception squad, headed by Mayor Schillinger, which had stranded In Centerville because the special cars while passing through there refused to even hesitate in their mad rush for good old Quakertown. After a short pause at Eighth and - iuljreftta-4fe oftatfiates again piled on board their cars, which then bore them to Glen Miller park. Here they were met by a second self-appointed glad hand committee and expressions like "Well I'll be blamed if there aint Bill" and "Mary I'm so glad to see you, how are you anyhow?" and "Seems like old times to see you folks again," etc., etc. Mayor Bookwalter of Indianapolis, who is not an ex-Richmondite, but who came along to chaperone his Quaker constituents, Addison C. Harrls, formerly of Greensfork, and now a prominent attorney and political leader In the Capital City and Judge Walker, were included among the prominent guests. Mark Thistlethwaite, assistant city editor of the Indianapolis News, and one of the large number of Richmond young men who have "made good," acted as master of ceremonies. Mr. This tlethwaite was instrumental In arranging for the home coming. Dark clouds hung over the Glen all day but the park never looked prettier. The threatening weather did not dampen the spirits of the happy crowd, who wandered about absorbing the fresh green landscape until "mess call" sounded at 12:30. Then there was a mad rush for the tables which vere spread on the south veranda of the pavilion. "The table groaned under the good things to eat" a stereotyped expression but adaptable. There were numerous table talks, including Billy Blodgetfs explanation as to how he came to be pinched, and It was not tmtlt 1:30 o'clock that Joe Kern assimilated the last crumb. Even then Kern cast an anxious and expectant eye toward the commissary department but the chef hung out the "nothing doing" sign. Joe then left the festive board, gorged, but still game. At 2 o'clock on the green the prorram got under headway. The proceedings were started by the Hon. William Dudley Foulke, who gave the address of welcome to our guests' old home. Mayor Bookwalter followed and lie made a short, happy and witty response. Judge Walker and Mr. Harris also spoke. Mr. Foulke's Address. Mr. Foulke said in part: "Gravely Smpressed with the solemnity of this occasion. I feel constrained to begin these words of welcome by an appropriate text. This will be found in the fifteenth chapter of St. L.uke, 2tv.t fverses. portraying the return of the eon. ''ho had wandered from his father's house. "If the father's household could thus rnake merry over the return cf a single Wanderer, what must be our emotions ever the return of a hundred? We bear no resentment that you abandoned us In former years. We do not tven Inquire into your mode of living la foreign parts. Our heart strings fere touched with compassion; compassion that you have so long fed on the corn husks of Indianapolis, deprived of the dainties of the father's table and the shelter of the paternal roof. We re filled with nothing but pity for your erring ways, and joy that you How return to us. An Earthly Paradise. "So we believe that in spite of the rupnors to the contrary, you have come la Abide with us forever. We feel

that under the charm of these sur roundings you are beginning to realize what we have long known, that Rich mond is not only the earthly paradise, but also the center of the universe as well. Does not the sun circle around it in its diurnal motion and do not the stars wheel majestically over in salutation every. night? If there be an alien here so puffed with pride as to think that the sky does the same thing over the Ignoble place which he inhabits, our pity is broad enough to em brace him In its benignant folds. Does any one" impute to me any lack of modesty in thus urging the pre-eminent claims of themetropolis of old Wayne? Let him reflect that is just as true of a town as it is of a man that 'he who bloweth not his own horn shall see the procession pass by without a band. I can assure him that Richmond does not intend to thus contribute to the extinguishment of the art of music Those gracious strains, which welcomed your advent to tiie town, do they not still linger in your ears and in j-our memory? Stay with us and enjoy them forever." The following Is a partial list of former Richmondites who attended the home coming: Sylvester Johnson and wife, Judge L.. C. Walker. C. T.

HAYWOOD DEFENSE CHECKED III COURT

Showing as to Existence of a ; Counter Plot JLikely JoBe I MA & A J - RULING BY JUDGE WOOD ED BOYCE WAS THE PRINCIPAL WITNESS ON THURSDAY AND A SPEECH BY HIM WAS PRO DUCED. Boise, Idaho, June 2S. A ruling made Thursday by Judge Wood while Edward Boyce, for years the leader of the Western Federation of Miners and now a wealthy mine owner of the Coeur dAlenes, was testifying in be half-of William D. Haywood, may ma terially limit the showing of the de fense as to the existence of the coun ter conspiracy against Haywood and his associates, which is alleged. James H. Hawley, for the state ob jected to a general question as to the policj- and practice of mine owners throughout the west in blacklisting un ion miners. Mr. Hawley contended that the state had directly shown the existence of a conspiracy by Harry Orchard, and by so doing had laid the foundation for and made the connection of all the ev idence subsequently offered on the subject. He said the defense was try ing to show a counter conspiracy by proving various isolated instances and certain general conditions, none of which was connected with the case and for none of which a proper foun dation has been laid." Limited . the Proof. In ruling the court accepted in part the contention of the prosecution and limited the proof of the defense along this line to events in Colorado and Couer d'Alenes, connected wit the case as now established. ' Ed Boyce was the principal witness Thursday, and his testimony was chiefly, devoted to the history, purpose and work of the Western Federation. He denied the existence of an "inner circle," or that there had ever been a conspiracy in the organization to do an Illegal act. The chief importance of Boyce's cross-examination was the production of a speech by him at the convention of the federation held at Salt Lake in 1!8, In which he said that every union should have a rifle club, every member a rifle, so that the federation could march armed men In the ranks of labor. Declared the Equal Aights. Mr. Boyce would not agree with the accuracy of the quotation, but, saying that the sentiment was correct, declared with spirit that when he spoke the words he had imputed to him he had in mind the misconduct of state 5roops In Colorado, the use of troops elsewhere against the federation, and the constitutional right of all citizens to bear arms, which was as much the right of the miner as the aristocrat. MRS. MORTON UNCHANGED. The condition of Mrs. Oliver P. Morton who has been ill for some time, remains serious. It is said at her home that she is resting much easier, but ifler condition is practically unchanged.

110 BIDDER APPEARS Oil SEWED CONTRACT FOR THE WEST SIDE

Board of Public Improvements And the People Concerned Are Again Disappointed by The Outcome of the Affair. MAN EXPECTED TO BID ' FINDS IS OVERLOADED. Board Will Not Give Up But Will Make Another Advertisement for Bids Sewer Also Needed to Northwest. Today was the third time set for opening bids for the construction of the $TiO.) sewer system in West Rich mond south of Main street, and for a third time the board of public works was embarrassed because no bids were on hand to be opened. People in the section of the city where the sewer system is to be built are clamoring for the improvement, but at the present time it looks like a myth in the dim and hazy future. , No local contractors want the job and foreign contractors who have figured on it have turned the proposition down. At the last date set for opening bids it was thought by the board that John Hipskind, a prominent contractor of i Wabash, Ind., would submit a bid, but he failed to do so, giving as a reason that none of the financial institutions of the city would take over the improvement bonds. Has Too Much Work. Since that time Mr. Hipskind has again considered submitting a bid to do the work and it was thought he 1 would do so because recently he was assured by local banking houses that they would take over the bonds. At the eleventh hour Mr. Hipskind decided that hedid not want the job because ed that he did not want the job be cause he already had' too much" work on hand. Mr. Merrill states that it is difficult to find contractors who are prepared to handle such a contract as the west side sewer system. To place this system It will be necessary to excavate through rock and it Is not every con tractor who has the equipment to do this work, Mr. Hipskind was prepared to handle such a job and it was for this reason that the board was particularly anxious for him to secure the contract. Will Not Give Up. Mr. Merrill was asked if the board intended to abandon the project because no one seemed desirous of taking the contract. He replied that the board would not take such action. "We will again advertise for bids, and will set another date for the opening of these bids," said Mr. Merrill. "If at that time the board does not receive any bids, we will advertise again and keep on doing so until some contractor is interested in the job." Mr. Merrill says the effort of the West Side Improvement association to line up some contractors to submit bids for the. building of the sewer, did not materialize. As soon as the agreement between the city and the Pennsylvania railroad for the West Second street crossing viaduct is signed up, the board will advertise for bids on a sewer system in that section of the city and they hope they will not meet with the difficulties they have experienced with the other sewer system. IT DIDN'T LOOK GOOD WHEH TRIED TO 00 IT Fisher Lost Some Enthusiasm When Time Came. FAILURE TO GET $10 HURTS When Alonzo Fisher, the young col ored man now confined at the county jail, made his second attempt to climb the flagstaff at the court house Thursday afternoon to repair a pulley, both he and Sheriff Meredith became fright ened and the pulley is still in as dilap idated condition as ever. Fisher had ascended about half the length of the pole when the straps which he was using t assist him. in some manner began balking and he descended tothe large round ball on the steeple to which the flagg staff is at tached. Alonzo then looked down at the ground and again at the top of the flag staff. Sheriff Meredith kept his eyes in "LonnieV direction and when he caught the latter looking to the ground, beckoned him to descend. Meredith afterward gave as his reason that In case some harm came to Fisher, the county would be held liable for damages, as Fisher is still under the care of the county. Fisher Is loath to part with the $10 which had been offered him to climb the pole and repair thue flag staff pulleys, even though he was a little bit squeamish as to the. manner of earning it. v

EARL HITIIIGTOII IS HANDED LEMOII III THE CUV COURT

Young Man Will Serve About Nine Months in Jail as the Result of His Brutal Assault On William Golden. MADE PLEA FOR LENIENCY BUT TO NO AVAIL. Huntington Conducted His Own Case, Having Had Much ExperiencePolice Are on the Lookout for Kelley. A large and exceedingly juicy ttf on, in the form of a $100 fine and six months in jail, was handed out by Judge Converse to one Earl Huntington In police court this morning for his cowardly and vicious assault upon ex-pollce officer William Golden, last Monday evening. Huntington was characterized as a menace to the community, a tough, a thug and many more choice names by Prosecutor Jessup in making his recommendation to the court as to what manner of punishment Huntington deserved. Jessup said: "I ask Judgment to tho fullest extent of the law, within your Jurisdiction. There was never a moro brutal assault committed in the history of the city." i It Was Premeditated. It was shown during the course of the trial that Huntington, in company with "Jimmy" Kelley, had premeditated the assault upon Golden "as quick as he removed his star," and on several different instances told others how they intended "to fix him." It was shown that Friday of laRt week the two men were in one of the north end saloons and while there the Golden question came up between them. A witness who happened to overhear the conversation of the two stated that Kelley was urging Huntington to get a club and "fix" Golden in the North Eighth street park by which place ho frequently passed. Huntington stated here that he would not use the club on Golden but would "beat him up" with his fists. Kelley's argument wss so strong, however, that tho two men secured a saw In the saloon and went to the rear where a two foot piece of wood was cut off a heavy mop handle to be used as a club to do the Job of "putting Golden to the bad." When the two men went to another saloon their conversation was overheard and when they were asked as to what they were speaking about they acknowledged that they were "going after" Golden. On Monday, about the lime of the assault, the men still had their club aud it was stated that Huntington had it in his hands when he saw Golden approaching the railroad tracks. This ho laid down however before approaching Golden for a match after which he proceeded in use his fists on Golden in a handy manner. Witnesses said that the two men clinched and ft. was while they were on the ground that Kelley slipped up on them and viciously kicked Golden on the head. Later the two men ran. Was His Own Attorney. Huntington acted as his own aftOTney during the trial and made a good effort. His questions were to the point and all addressed were of the nature ' as to prove that at no time did he kick or use any weapon of any nature on Golden. Huntington pleaded for leniency by Judge Converse. He stated that he did have a police record, but was not half as bad as he was painted. He said he struck Golden but once to his knowledge, lie raid that he did not know that Kelley was to have helped him. Huntington's plea for leniency was unavailing, however, and a few seconds later he walked out the door with Patrolman Wierhake and his "lemon." In' speaking of the heavy sentence given Huntington. Judge Converse j stated that way dom-n in his heart he j hated to deal with Huntington In such j severe manner, but he really thought jit was the best thing that could be done with the man as he would then be in safe keeping and not a general public nuisance. Kelley, Huntington's accomplice in the cowardly assault, has "dug to the high grass, according to the opinion expressed, but it is thought he win be caught sooner or later. It is highly probable that a charge of felony will be placed against Kelley, as he by long odds used more vicious methods of assault than did Huntington. ' INDIANA PEA CROP SHORT.
