SEVERAL BOTTLES TAKEN, 1 TO BE FULLY EXAMINED. there Is a Heavy Penalty Attached to Selling Whiskey Under Government Bond When It Does Not Come Up To Standard RequiredNames of the Offenders Not Known. Two United States reveuue officers quietly came into the city Monday afternoon and as the result, of their mis-f-ion, it is said that at least seven saloon keepers and retainers of whiskey will suffer through the investigations curried on by the men who worked all day Tuesday in Richmond. This1 men were A. M. Lee and A. A. Phil- j lips of Indianapolis,' ynd their mission was to test all whiskies sold in Richinond under the irnvermrient bond, to ascertain whether or not adulterations ! were being sold. The men were very mysterious I in their work, and about all the information local violators of the law received, was the short, curt statements made by the "j evenuers.", "Wo will have to take this bottle along." Their trip over the city necessitated the purchase of a large market basket, in

which to carry adulterated whiskies j with such vigor in defending his opinback to Indianapolis where further i ioli and in denunciation of the conduct tests will be made and from which 'of the dead senator that Justice Stafpoint indictments ntay be returned i ford reminded the witness that the late against local men by the federal grand i Senator Brown was not on trial and

Jury. When whiskies are bottled under bond, the government stamp Is placed on the bottles. It is an offense sub-i ject to a fine between $-100 and $1,000 and a penitentiary sentence of not. more than two years, to be caught selling cheap whiskies from bottles hearing the United States labels. Seven on the List. There is no accurate information pertaining to the number of saloon keepers who were caught up by the government officers, other than that given by saloon keepers themselves, whose goods were subject to the test. They say that seven saioonists were found to be selling the inferior rmm v ! of whiskey tinder the government's stamp of approval. Phillips and Lee. the officers, absolutely refused to impart to any one the exact number of saioonists caught violating the law. They left Richmond Tuesday night. In the meantime several local saioonists will be kept on the uneasy Beat until their samples are examined i-aitHuuj aim uuui iue. kuow wnetncr j ...11.. i . : i xi i . . . i or not they will be subject to federal I indictments.

INSTRUCTED CLERK Tfl I i TD Uf IU LIL IU Archie Livingston, Employed By Senator Brown, Testifies in Bradley Case. ADVISED HER TO MARRY. DRAMATIC INCIDENTS MARKED THE PROGRESS OF THE TRIAL ON TUESDAY DEFENSE RESTED THAT AFTERNOON. Washington. Nov. 27. Archio Uv-i ingston, who was Senatoi Brown's ! clerk, and is now employed by Max1 Brown, testified today in the Bradley j case that' Brown often told him to lie to Mrs. Bradley. He told her it would; be a good thing for her to marry Brown if she could stop his drinking, but he didn't think she could, j Dramatic scenes marked the proceedings Tuesday. Dr. Britton D. Evans of New York, the alienist, who testiiied in the Thaw case, not only declared that Mrs. Bradley was insane when she shot Senator Brown, but entered not there to defend himself, and admonished him to refer to the dead man only when necessary to show the effects of his acts upon the mind of .the defendant. j The defense rested its case Tuesday ! noon and it came in the nature of a surprise, as it had been expected that the alienist would be kept on the stand for a much longer period. The appearance on the stand of Max Brown, son of the dead senator, 'who was called iu rebuttal, was afjfecting in the extreme. The young J man. tall, slender and fragile of phyjsique, tottered as he made his way to v-iwumj-avoided looking toward the defendant, . : . . . i ii.. r. 1 1 who sat within ten feet of him. Mrs. Bradley Laughs at Incident. When he told of seeing his father and Mrs. Bradley in the kitchen of their home with jars of fruit they had brought from the cellar, at a time when his mother had been called away from the city to the bedside of h tidying sister, the defendant laughed and lowered her head in confusion. nm there were no signs of merriment on the face of the witness, wh replied briefly to all questions put to him and lowered his eyes during intervals iu the giving of his testimony. Dr. Charles B. Hill, professor of nervous and mental diseases in th Baltimore Medical college, declared that in his opinion Mrs. Bradley was insane when she did the shooting. The crhn'nal operations performed on her, the suffering, the disappointment and hereditary taint of insanity all combined to produce insanity in her. He tnought she shot Senator Brown intentionally, but while believing that she was doing right in so doing. ACCUSED BANKER HAS ESCAPED PROSECUTION Does It by Taking His Own Life. J New York. Nov. 27.

It is hoped to fill that present ! unsightly place to a level with Main ! street. Tho plan created considerable ex-' citemcnt when it was first inaugurat-i ed in the fall of 1006, as physicians maae puoiie tneir ciatm that scran-

ings, trash and even slops and diseas-ir

ed rags were being thrown in the dump, making it a veritable hotbed of contagion. They claimed that all waters trickling through this, passed into the small stream running at the west end of the gully, down through i Glen Miller park and directly over the ! water cress which grows abundantly j there, and of which many Richmond J people eat. It was claimed that disease could not but result from cumoing tho refuse at-that point. The physicians' as sertions. that this would be the case were denied by the board of works most emphatically and the dumping continued.

The pallbearers were Walter Knollenberg, Ray Mendenhall, Aubrey Decker, Murl Genu, Roy Coinpton and Wilson Magaw. Burial was at Lutherania. By the untimely death of this young man Richmond has lost one who gave great promise of being everything a good citzen should be. He was ex tremely popular among all young associates and friends and was i well liked among th$se of the older generations for his manly and ster ling qualities. Durhtig the past two years his health had failed rapidly owmate there would benefit and restore him to health. Their efforts, however. wer in vain and young Bartel returned to Richmond some two months rfnerallv iinfiprtnn fetlici evil u "UCi - ago, and it was f .

ENTITLED TD FEES BUT CAN'T GET 'EM Sheriff Meredith Has' an Unusual Proposition Presented to Him. SUMMONING OF WITNESSES SHERIFFS ARE AT A LOSS WHERE THEY SERVE PAPERS ON PERSONS WHO ARE TO TESTIFY IN OTHER COUNTIES. Sheriff Linus Meredith has been apprised of the fact that hereafter he is entitled to grand jury baliff's fees. where men were summoned from this countv to anoear before iuries of oth - county to appear betoie juries of oili - counties in state cases. Meredith received this information from a fel - low sheriff who resides in Monroe

county, who desires a fee of $2.50 for i to live up to his word if he could once some or tne ver' best Public men of, general order of R. E. Grand Com- . k more be Dlaced in oosition where he tne race- mander Vestal Woodward. The work

Last year Fayette county had Sheriff Meredith summon several Wivne county residents to appear before the errand jury of that couatj", but as yet Fayette county officials have made no move to recompense the local sheriff for his troubles. The system is unfair, according to Meredith and he is very desirous of seeing whether or not these fees can be collected. In case they are not jthe sheriff is out both his time and

LENGE TO FOOTBALL GAME. A time honored custom was revived this morning at Earlham. The Freshman class appeared at breakfast j with their class colors tied or sewed to their coat lapels. This is always a signal for a class scrap between the two lower classes and the sophomores accepted the challenge with a willing spirit. They left the dining room early and when ,at the close of the hour, the i freshman boys came through the ves tibule, they were met and a fierce struggle ensued. At first the fight went wholly for the sophomores, they having the most aggressive men and many of the freshies lost their colors, the whole lapel being torn off where the colors were sewed on. But the Freshmen had planned the affair well. They knew that the next day the Earlham team would play Butler. They also knew that the sophomores had many men on the varsity football squad who would not be allowed to participate in the scrap if seen. Vail to the Rescue. When Coach Vail came from the dining room he sized things up in a hurry. Jumping into the midst of the scramble he siezed the sophomore footbalj men, one by one by the collar and dragged them out. His one statement was, "If you play tomorrow keep out ; of this today." In this way about ten of the aggressive men were dispos

of his;ed of and the freShmen had the odds

greatly In their favor. The scrap was ; soon stopped by Governor Mendenhall and all joined in giving college yells. The spirit of the two classes is to be commended. All differences were forgotten when the college yells were started, and the "Rah! Rah! Quakers," was given with a will. Challenge by Sophs. Later a challenge wa3 posted by the sophomores to the effect that the two

classes participate in a football gamelarly and scarcely a day went by that! . .... ... I .. .... .. .

L AN ESCAPE INSTANT DEATH Ulysses Pickett and Miss Audie East Were Struck by a Street Car at Fifteenth And Main Streets. NOT BELIEVED THAT INJURIES ARE FATAL. Car Was Running West and At Fifteenth, Picket Turned His Horse Directly in Front Of It At the Hospital. What proved to be a phenomenal escape from immediate death, occurred at the corner of Fifteenth and Maii streets, Tuesday evening about eight o'clock when Ulysses Pickett, residing near Chester, and Miss Audie East, of this city, were run down by a west bound city car. As there appears ti have been no eye witnesses to the accident, the only information secured comes from the crew of the car. According to Motorman Earl Colglazier and Conductor Kirkman. they were making their eight o'clock rc turn trip from the East, running at. the accustomed schedule. Just as thi car approached the corner of Fifteenth street, a phaeton approaching on th south side of Main street, suddenly turned north across the tracks, directly in front of the approaching car. Motorman Colglazier says he rang his bell vehemently, but that the occupants o? the vehicle seemed to pay no attention to the warning. Realizing the 1mcar, with the intention of averting the accident if possible, but realizing that nothing could be done, he returned to his position on the car just as It crashed into the rig. Struck Broadside. The car struck the phaeton full In the side and hurled it from the track. The occupants were thrown to tho several feet. In a very few momenta a large crowd collected and assistance was at once offered. The man and woman were carried Into the Toler drusr store, where medical attention was given. Dr. M. W.
