In the result ing fight, Mr. Marshall had his coat i literally cut off of him and sustained one or two minor cuts on the face, ibut the negro was so badly beaten, hat it was with difficulty he could ret treat, when Mr. Marshall had to delist administering punishment and at- ' tend . to , his wife, who was suffering 'from hysteria. Mr. Marshall was so satisfied with his achievement, in ''beating up" the negro, that he did wot notify the police of the attack. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall left this city about 1 o'clock and started to drive Khome. ' They had barely entered that part of the road which la very dark, 'because of the dense foliage of the 'trees on either side, when a man appeared from the side of the road and grabbed their horse's bridle. The command of "halt and unload' was .promptly obeyed by Mr. Marshall. He 1 was then ordered to "shell out." . Got Hla Irish Up. ; " However Mr. Marshall's Irish was Kip. and being a man six foot three, 'tall and weighing over 200 pounds, all . of which Is solid muscle, he refused to meekly give in. The negro started ;to use his weapon with remarkable rapidity and cleverness, which classed him as a past grand master with the art So effectively was the weapon used that Marshall's coat was cut to rags. ; The tall of the coat was slashed off. and the front part cut In Bhxeds. . ' V While the big negro was cutting ! with reckless abandon, Marshall was '.effectively using his fists. . Finally the ; ttue began- to turn for Marshall, as the negro s weapon was broken in some manner. Then, from all reports, Mar shall got revenge. He knocked his assailant down, jumped on him and then commanded the negro to get up again. The same procedure was re peated and Marshall did not desist unjtil his wife's condition compelled him fto goto her. As soon as the negro saw that he could play nothing but a losing game, he prayed and begged and implored I Marshall to have mercy, but Marshall 1 remembered his coat and ; two small cuts on his upper lip too well. . . M rs. Marshall Alarmed. . 'Mrs. Marshall was greatly frightenjed when they were held up and her 'fright increased as she saw the ne gro's razor flash in the moonlight, which came through the dense foliage. She had hysteria and finally became I bo 111 that her husband had to leave his assailant. ' He paid no further at tentlon to him but drove as rapidly as possible toward home. His wife quickly recovered 'and neither are the worse for the experience. 1 Robbery is thought to have prompt ed the attack. Mr. Marshall knows of no other reason. He always carries considerable money with him. Mr, Marshall manufactures the national cement vault at New Paris. Mr. Mar shall says he can identify the assailant and It is probable' an arrest will be . made. ON ROAD PETITION County Commissioners Ap point Reviewers as the Law Requires.

On an affidavit filed in the Randolph circuit court by a deputy game warden charging dynamiting of fish, Ernest Replogle and Joseph . Morrison, two well known young men of Perry township, were arrested by Sheriff Linus Meredith Saturday afternoon. Thl3 morning, accompanied by the two young men and Bert Oler, against whom the Randolph authorities hold a similar warrant, Mr. Meredith went to Winchester and turned the young men over to the Randolph county authorities. It is understood that $500 cash bond was given by the young men for their appearance when the case is set for hearing. The three young men deny that they were dynamiting 'fish.

Oler was not at home when Sheriff Meredith went to Economy Saturday, and consequently was not arrested with Morrison and Replogle, who were released on recognisance bond of $400 each, given by Linke Morrison, father of Joseph Morrison. It is understood that Linke Morrison gave $500 bond in the Randolph circuit court for the appearance of his son and two friends. EXPERIENCE DELAY Difficulty has been encountered by the committee of Wernle Orphans' Home, which has charge of the proposed placing of the six Inch water main from the city to the home. The residents of the Gaar f arm refused to allow the main to run through their farm unless a sum larger than the committee felt should be paid, was paid. The committee is now negotiating with the owners of the Eggemeyer farm and it is probable that the main will be laid through this property. It will be a week or so before the home will be supplied with water facilities. TO VISIT INFIRMARY. .The commissioners will visit the county Infirmary soon and inspect the property with reference to changes to be made. The necessary improvements are few and wiU be inexpensive.

Borden, are shut down as a result of a strike of the weavers that went into effect today. About 5,000 operatives who draw wages aggregating $35,000 a week, are out of work.

May Be Able to Settle All Disputes Regarding the Pole Discovery. EXPECTED TO RETURN TO U. S. VERY SOON look Has Intimated That the New Haven Man Was Intrusted With Some Very Valuable Information. (American News Service) Battle Harbor. Sept. 13. (Via Wire less Cape Ray, N. F.) Commander Peary and the Roosevelt are still here. It is not known when the shin will leave. (American News Service) New York. Sept. 13. The internat ional controversy raging between the friends and scientists supporters of Commander Robert E. Peary and Dr. Frederick A. Cook over the stories of discovery in the polar regions, today centers about Harry Whitney, the rich young New Haven, ConiL, sportsman, who went north in Jul v. 1908 with Peary in the Roosevelt to hunt mask oxen in Northern Greenland and to whom Dr. Cook said he Intrusted his valuable and substantiating polar data. Whitney is believed to hold the key of the situation in his hands. He will soon start from Etah for home and un til he arrives many thines in tha squabble must remain dark. Dr. Cook's Statement. While Dr. Cook, in Copenhagen, gave the impression that. Whitney knew of his discovery and that data substantiating his claims had been left with Whitney at Etah a wireless story received today by way of Cape Ray from Battle Harbor, declares that all Cook told Whitney was "that he had reached a point further north than Peary had gone in 10S." The Whitney story from Battle Harbor was really sent by Commander Peary to oblige a correspondent who had met snd talked with the young sportsman when the Roosevelt met the relief ship Jeanle In Westenholme Sound north of Saunders Island on August 23. Whitney was on the Roosevelt; the correspondent on tha Jeanle. They Lived Together. Whitney and Cook lived together for a time at Etah before Cook started South to find a mall ship to carry him into Europe. Just what Cook told Whitney during their residence together or what he told him la confidence is not clearly known. Cook gave the impression that Whitney knew of his success. Whitney told the Peary party that Cook had merely claimed to have been farther north than Peary in 1906 but would not tell him just how far he had succeeded In going. Cook said he had made two. sets of observations and re-copied his notes, leaving one with Whitney in case harm came to the originals. Whitney made no mention of this. Whitney, far from the bounds of civilization and not knowing- the clamor which surrounded bis name, la calmly shooting bear on the west coast of Baffin Bay. What Whitney did with the documents Cook gave in his keeping to not known. The house wheieta he was living at Etah really belonged to Cook, according to the doctor's statement. Cook gave the place to his two Eskimos and it is not thought that Whitney left any valuable in their keeping.
