NO STEPS TO IMPEACH. TAGGART HAS THREATENED THE LIFE OF J. B. GORDON AND THE LATTER IS PREPARED TO DEFEND HIMSELF.

Attorney Henry If. Johnson has Toeen retained by City Clerk John F. Taggart to defend him when he is brought to trial to answer a charge of embezzling $162.35 of the funds of the Municipal League of Indiana. Taggart Is confident that the state has no case against him and that the trial "will result in his acquittal. The hearing of this case will revolve about an interesting point of law. Taggart is charged with em"bezzling funds from the Municipal league of Indiana which is an unincorporated association. Some local attorneys. Including the prosecutor, maintain that Taggart is as guilty in this particular case of the charge of embezzling as though the league were an incorporated body. Other local attorneys are of the opinion that under a strict interpretation of the law Taggart cannot be charged with embezzlement as the league is unincorporated. They maintain that the only charge that can be brought against Taggart is breach of trust. No Steps to Impeach. No steps have been taken by the icity officials to Impeach Taggart and It is thought the offlpials will delay taking this step until the outcome of the trial. In some quarters it 13 thought that if Taggart Is acquitted he will be asked to resign. Taggart Is at his office performing his duties the same as if he were not under indictment for a serious charge. Taggart has threatened the life of J. Bennett Gordon, placing most of the blame on the editor of the Item for the action taken by the grand jury. Mr. Gordon states that a friend of Taggart's called upon him and informed him that Taggart intended to shoot him if an attack is made on him through the columns of that paper. Mr. Gordon states that he informed this friend that he would do as he saw fit in the Taggart case and that If Taggart made a threatening move against him on the streets or any place else ho would shoot him and shoot to kill. Mr. Gordon states that he has been given authority by the police to carry a revolver to protect himself against Taggart. Prosecutor Jessup states that he has been informed that Taggart threatened to kill him but as yet had made no threatening advances. Taggart does not discuss his case.

PRANK.The Queer Joke That Eugene Field Played on a Printer. When Bcns Field was city editor of the Kansas City Times he found great amusement in annoying one of the characters employed on the paper. Ferguson was one of the "makeups" on the piper, and in Wyandotte, wherhe resided, just over the line from Kansas City, he was the leader of a local temperance society. For over a year Field, on coining down to the paper to go to work, would write a personal concerning Ferguson. Generally it ran like this: "Mr. John Ferguson, the well known 'makeup' of the Times composing room, appeared for work yesterday evening ia his usual beastly state of intoxication." This entertaining bit Field would send down in a bundle of copy, and the others of the composing room would set it up and sav notbinc. Poor Ferguson knew that this awful personal wes in their midst and everv nlcht would go carefully over ev ery galley for the purpose of locating and killing it. It gave him vast trouble. Every now and then Field would not write his personal about Ferguson, and then the bewildered Ferguson was worse off than ever. As long as he could not find it it might still be there. It almost drove the poor man off the paper. Now and then it escaped his earle ee and was printed. On such occasions Ferguson's burdens were be yond the power of even a Christian spirit to bear.

WIFE DESERTION IS ' CHARGE AGAINST AGENT Joseph Baumgardner Arrested Here on Request. WILL BE TAKEN TO DAYTON. Joseph Baumgardner, who for the past several days has been canvassing in Richmond, was arrested by the local police on a warrant issued from a justice of peace court in Dayton, charging wife desertion. Chief Bailey received a message from Dayton stating that authorities from that city would immediately come to Richmond, armed with requisition papers and take Baumgardner back. The warrant on which the arrest was made, charges that Baumgardner on the first day of June, left his wife and two little daughters, seven and ten! years old. to shift for themselves, leaving them entirely without means. Since that time it is charged, Mrs. Baumgardner and her children have received nothing from the man now under arrest. Baumgardner is fifty years of age and when he is returned to the Ohio city, may receive a penitentiary sentence, as wife desertion in that state is a felony, pitnlshable only In this manner.

JOHN GONZ CHARGEDWITH BRUTAL ASSAULT Complaint Is Made by Homer Klinger, a Boy. TELLS HIS SIDE OF IT. A warrant has been sworn out for the arrest of John Gonz for assault and battery on a small boy, Homer Klinger, the son of John Klinger. Gonz is charged with making a brutal and unprovoked assault. At police headquarters young Kling er stated that he and some friends were near the extreme end of South Thirteenth street and that they had picked some green apples. Returning north on South Thirteenth street, Klinger stated, he passed the home of Gonz, South Thirteenth street and Greenwood avenue. According to Klinger's story Gonz was standing in the yard and he accused the boys of having stolen some of his apples and demanded that they return them to him. Klinger states that he Ignored Gonz and that Gonz started out onto the street after him. Klinger took to his heels and Gonz jumped into a buggy and gave chase. He caught up with the lad and the latter to escape, turned sharply to run in the opposite direction. This quick turn made him fall and Gonz at once jumped out of the buggy, Klinger says, and began to assault him as he lay helpless. Klinger states that Gonz hit him with the butt of his whip across the face head and shoulders and ended up by choking him. Gonz then got back into his buggy and drove home. Young Klinger shows the effects of the assault. IS NO DEVELOPMENT REGARDINGJNSPECTION No Word Has Been Received From Washington. DEALERS CANNOT ESCAPE. Other than the regular correspondence between the city and federal authorities in regard to the government meat Inspection In this city, there is absolutely nothing doing in that line. Dr. C. S. Bond is expecting at any time to hear some definite and final answer from the department of animal Industry on the subject, but up to date the efforts of the butchers have apparently been successful in delaying the matter of sending men to this post. The council committee to which the meat Inspection matters were turned, is strong in its belief that the city should have the protection of some sort or another. The meat dealers cannot possibly escape, as the city will pay for a good inspection rather than see diseased meat placed on the local market without an effort made to prevent such, says the council committee. CONSIDERATION IS SHOWN. Prosecutor Accepts Burns' Promise That He Will Reform. Jack Burns, an old offender, was in the toils again Thursday night but was given his liberty by the prosecutor on a promise to reform. Jack recently finished a Jail sentence for drunk. After his release he broke a leg and was sent to the hospital. Since being discharged from there Jack has suffered from rheumatism and has been prevented from working. Thursday evening. Burns' sister, with whom he lives in the north end of town, told him that it was time to resume work. This remark made Jack, who had been drinking, quite peevish and he upbraided his sister so roundly that she had him arrested. City and County STATISTICS. Births. To Mr. and Mrs. Frank L.

Richmond, Ind. TRIBUNE COMES TO DRISCHEUS DEFENSE Does Not Take Kindly to the Condemnation of West End Marshal. THINKS HE DID DUTY,! ASSERTS THAT CLIDDEN TOUh1ST ARRESTED WAS VIOLATING SPEED LAW AND WAS JUSTLY PUNISHED. In response to the condemnation of, Marshal Dan Drlschel of Cambridge City, by the Automobile club of! Wayne county, th Cambridge . CityTribune responses the cause of Drlschel, as follows: The Wayne county Kr rather Rich-, mond automobile ciub has passed & series of resolutions condemning Marshal Drlschel for calling a halt on autoraobilists who dangerously exceed the speed limit while passing: through this town. The arrest of one of the Glidden tourists seems to have aroused this particular automobile club until In their desperation they are almost willing to qualify law disobedience rather than law obeyance when it interferes with what they consider their right the right to crowd everybody off the highway if It Is necessary to demonstrate some particular test, or some endurance, or the delightful anticipation 'of getting there before the other fellow. Law violation Is the same everywhere. The Glidden tourists knew the law, and when any one of them willingly and knowingly set it at defiance. It was right that he should atone for It. If the one arrested and fined Is the same driver the Tribune and several hundred citizens saw pass through here at a speed at least four times In excess of the limit, he should have been j urrtrbieu , nuu me jvi. iiiuouu nuiouiu bJle cub not by any pretcnseof de. arrested: and the Richmond automocency or law obligation, condone th offense.

Patrons of a city delivery office have the privilege of receiving their mail in either of three ways, as they elect; by carrier, through, general delivery or in a rented box. They cannot receive part In one way and the remainder in another unless it Is specially addressed for eucji dellr ery." Heretofore the local office has been bothered to a considerable extent by people getting carrier service calling at the general aeuvery winaow xur their mail. This causes the clerks considerable worry, as well costing Uncle Sam money, for much time Is thus lost. The order was welcomed by the local force.
