STRANGER TELLS STORY OF BRUTAL ASSAULT ON HIM George Beck Wanders Into Office of Greensfork Doctor So Badly Injured He Probably Will Die.

SAYS HE WAS BEATEN BY HAGERSTOWN GANG After the Alleged Assault, Monday Night, He Spent the Night in the Open, Aimlessly Wandering. (Palladium Special) Greensfork, Ind., March 9. George Heck, aged 51, giving his residence as Cleveland, Ohio, wandered into this lilace yesterday afternoon, badly injured, ant told the story that while at Ifagerstown, Monday night, he was attacked by a party of two or three young men and left for dead along the railroad track. His injuries are such that his recovery is very doubtful. Residents of this place believe that he was attacked, as he persistently tells, the same story and there is no evidence to base a theory of a railroad accident. The man's injuries consist of two holes in his head, and, it is thought, concussion of the brain has resulted. A broken arm, a dislocated shoulder and several bruises are his other injuries. The man said that he was attacked Monday night and as he did not receive medical attention until late yesterday afternoon, he must h'avo suffered most excrusiating pain, lie was without medical attendance so long that his injuries will probably prove fatal. Story the Man Tells. Dr. Kienzle, at whose home he now Jb, said this afternoon that Beck told him he was on his way to Cleveland from Indianapolis. At Hagerstown he got off the train and while at the depot Monday night came in contact with a party of young men, the exact number in the gang he does not know, nor could he give a good description of them. For some reason, Beck says, two or three of the party attacked him with either black jacks or other heavy objects. He was laid out, bit after the young men rushed away, he got up and walked out of town, then lied down on the ground and spent the night. On Tuesday he started east, stopped at. two or three fam houses and secured something to eat, but everyone seemed afraid of him and would not take him in until Dr. Kienzle saw him and took him to his office. The man gave the address of his son at Cleveland and the latter has been telegraphed for. The Cleveland police have also been notified. E FLOES! (American News Service) New York, March 9.: The earnings of the American Tobacco company for 1909 were more than thirty million dollars after deducting all charges and expenses, these being two million greater than in 1908. LYNCH A PREACHER. Greenwood, Miss.. March 9. A ne gro Baptist preacher named Wallace was lynched by a mob this morning, after he had shot u white policeman who attempted to collect a bill. The policeman may die. TWO BROTHERS FIGHT. . Iaporte, Ind., March 9. In a quarrel between brothers at the Albion last night, Harry Mullen, aged twenty-five years, probably fatally shot William Mullen, as the. latter was climbing over the fence while in flight. SHOT HIS SWEETHEART. Marion. Ind., March 9. Sanford I-ove, a young business man. fatally shot his sweetheart, Dottie Murden, eighteen years of age, because she refused immediate marriage. A LIVESTOCK FAMINE. ' Chicago, March 9. Further evidence of the approaching livestock famine appeared at the stock yards today when hogs sold at $10.55 per hundred pounds on the hoof. Cattle jumped twenty cents and sheep went up in the rush. Market was wild. The receipts are scant Hogs sold at $10.75 at Buffalo. WENT 10 CAMBRIDGE ... (Palladium Special) ; Cambridge City, Ind., March 0. Both county and Richmond city officials attended the horse sale today and were on the lookout to see that order was preserved. No eTldence of crookedness of any kind was apparent to the officials. Sheriff Meredith, Superintendent of the Richmond Police I. A. Gormon, and Prosecuting Attorney Chas. Ladd were among those present ' Did She Remember? "Do you remember that first night I kissed yon?" "No." "Oh. you coquette! I stole that weet kiss!" "So I wanted you to think." Cler land Leader.

TOM WORE A SMILE

And Stated He Had Used Every Power to Suppress the Gambling. A JUSTICE FOR DEFENSE (American News Service) Paoli, Ind., March 9. In defense of the French Lick Hotel company whose charter Attorney General Bingham Is trying to have revoked, documentary evidence was introduced today to show that the laws of the company prohibited gambling on the premises and that the board of directors had been authorized to take action against the lessee of the casino if the gambling had been permitted there, but a cross examination revealed the fact that one, son of Justice Ritter of French Lick township, operated a roulette wheel in the Casino. Justice Ritter was a strong witness for the defense in the present case. Taggart took the stand and said he had exhausted all legal efforts to suppress gambling on the hotel company's premises. He wore his habitual broad smile. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals. illerJMrs. Ella Bockhoff Miller, a former resident of Richmond, died last evening at her home in Indianapolis. The remains will be brought here for funeral services and burial.

The funeral will take place Thursday morning at 10 o'clock from the home. The burial will be in the Milton cemetery. Friends may call this evening. The regular service will be held at the M. E. church at Milton at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. MUTHt Mrs. Cora M. Muth, aged 44 years, died this morning at about 10 o'clock at her home 501 Main street. Death was due to a complication of diseases. Besides her husband the deceased is survived by one sister who resides at Muncie, Indiana, and two brothers residing in Ohio. The funeral arrangements have not been made. DIAMOND CHIPS Gene Demontreville is now captain of the New Orleans team. Gene has been in the harness a long time, but is still fairly speedy. Hoblitzell of the Reds should be steadily improving for the next three years. He is still but a boy in age. Eddie McFarland, a great catcher once, seems to have dropped out of sight entirely. He was one of the best trappers of the spit ball that ever played and a strong hitter. If Bill Dahlen can get into active practice' this season he will have outlasted all of the men who came into the big league with him in 18U1. What a throng of stars Dahlen has seen come and go. Frank Farrell is said to have paid $3,500 for a Connecticut pitcher named For Pain in Chest For sore throat, sharp pain in lungs, tightness across the chest, hoarseness or cough, lave the parts with Sloan's Liniment You don't need to rub, just lay it on lightly. It penetrates instantly to the seat of the trouble, relieves congestion and stops the pain. Here's the Proof. Mr. A.W. Price, Fredonia, Kans., says: "We have used Sloan's Liniment for a year, and find it an excellent thing for sore throat, chest pains, colds, and hay fever attacks. A few drops taken on sugar stops cough, ing and sneezing instantly." Sloan's Liniment is sasier to use than porous plasters, acts quicker and does not clog up the pores of the skin. It is an excellent antiseptic remedy for asthma, bronchitis, and all inflammatory diseases of the throat and chest ; will break up the deadly membrane in an attack of croup, and will kill any kind of neuralgia or rheumatic pains. -U druntota keep Sloao' Unlment.

Fisher. The young man is said to have a scaly curve and to be very effective Fridays. Dode Crlss, who was supposed to have been sold by the Browns, is practicing with them and Is apparently to have another season with them. Luderus, a Wisconsin league player, has supplanted Del Howard as official sub for Frank Chance. The Wisconsin man hit .321 last year and looked very good In the few games he played for the Cubs. Jajoie is one of the few men who ever fell out of the .300 class and then came back. He was under the coveted mark in 1907 and 1908, but 'way above it last season. Joe Nealon and Tommy Sheeban certainly stick together. They came from the coast together years ago, played at Pittsburg together, and are now on the same team in California once more. Despite the complaints which the catchers make about the difficulty of holding the spit ball there were very few passed balls last season. Evidently the maskmen growl, but do not miss. Chance thinks Pfeffer, the burly college pitcher, will make good on his second big league trial. Pfeffer has great speed and for a pitcher, is a good batsman. A picture no artist can paint the face of a catcher when the pitcher gets

the signs twisted and chucks a wild hurl to the grand stand, letting in the tying run. Wallace is playing third in the Browns' practice games. If he still has the steam he might as well stay on third for he was always even better on that corner than at short. TO FIGHT STRIKERS Car Load of Adventurers Enroute East Pass Through Richmond. SENT TO PHILADELPHIA Three car loads of strike breakers from St. Louis passed through Richmond this morning at 5:0 o'clock on No. 18, the fast New York and St. Louis limited, enroute to Philadelphia, where they will take part in the gigantic strike which has been disturbing the peace and quietude of the Quaker City for the past few days. There was no demonstration of any kind when the strike breakers, numbering 100 passed through this city, and because of the ,early hour, few were aware of their presence here. The men who intend to do things in the big eastern strike refused to discuss the matter during their few minutes stop over in Richmond, or in any way intimate what course they would pursue, other than to suggest that there would probably be "big doings" when they arrived on the scene of action. Badly Expressed. "For heaven's sake be more careful with that rifle, man!" exclaimed a musketry Instructor. "You just missed me that time.' "Did I, sergeant? I'm awfully sorry!" responded the indifferent marksman. London Mail.

A made-to-measure Suit at the low prevailing price, costs you $18.00 to $25.00. Our ready-to-wear Suits, just as well made, just as good quality, will cost you only $10.00 and $15.00. The difference, $8 and $10, is 65 per cent saved in buying our ready-to-wear Suits. This would reduce the cost of living, wouldn't it? This would be Logic, wouldn't it?

Ready-to-Wear Clothing as it is made today, is as far superior to the old method of manufacture as the era of progress in other branches of industry is superior to the old ways, and the Brains, the Skill and the Capital now being employed in the manufacture of READY MADE CLOTHING, is fast superseding high priced tailoring, and so perfect in fit are they, that the difference is not discernable in a man who discards the tailormade suits for the ready-made. Anyone that is of fairly good form, whether he is a Slim or a Stout, can easily get his fit from our LARGE STOCK OF READY-TO-WEAR garments. But should anyone out of the ordinary shape or form, desire a suit made to order, we represent one of the Largest Tailoring Houses in the West, and can take his measure for a suit for Less Money than the Agency that depends entirely on this class of trade.

OTHER FAT PRICES PAID SECOND BEST DEAL WAS FOR "LADY KEITH," WHO SOLD FOR $760 MARE OWNED BY CENTERVILLE COMPANY. (Palladium Special) Cambridge City, Ind., Marc'.i 9. i This morning's sales at the John S. ; Lackey horse sale were exceptionally i good and will probably stand out as j the record period of the sale. The ; sale was attended by a large number of Eastern and Middle Western buy-; ers. j The price paid for "Hawley" a pac- j ing bay gelding, which has gone a trial mile in 2:09 and gives prospects' of being a sensational performer will probably hold the individual record of the sale. The horse was owned and bred by J. A. Quay of Florence, Italy, and was disposed of to E. B. Ray of Pittsburg for ?1,135. Mr. Quay did not attend the sale in person, having an agent represent him. j The second best price paid at this morning's session was for "Lady Keith" which was purchased for $760 ; by J.

COUIITY SAFE BALKS

One Section of Big Vault Goes on Strike and Refuses to Open. AN EXPERT IS EMPLOYED "Not a thing doin today." responded one of the assistants in the office of County Treasurer Albert Albertson this morning and bussed himself with tne typewriter with such vigor that the reporter knew the interview was at an end. but it beats everything how things do travel. It was only a few minutes later that he was in possession of the most startling thing that has happened in the treasurer's office in the past year. It was the inability of the county treasurer and his deputies to open the safe this morning. It is not the section of the safe in which the money is kept, but where the records are placed, that is sealed tight. The combination has not been working properly for some time and it has not been customary to lock this particular section. Mr. Albertson can not explain how the combination was thrown. An expert was working on the combination this afternoon and expected to accomplish his work without having to call in Sheriff Linus Meredith, who, as is well known, is a dealer in dynamite. MOOSE GETS BLAME Firemen Think Rodent Was Responsible for a Blaze Last Evening. SOON EXTINGUISH FIRE The fire at the residence of E. M. Petty. South Fourth street, last evening, which in many ways Is mystifying as to its cause, is accounted by the firemen to a mouse or rat knawing a match. The fire was in one of the upper front bed rooms which is occupied by a boarder. No one had been in the room since 11 o'clock yesterday morning. When the boarder went to his room last evening he found it full of smoke and the carpet and bedclothing, also part of the furniture, burning. The departments were called and the fire soon extinguished, little damage resulting. The cause of the fire was investigated but only that of mice or rats knawing matches Is held as a probable theory by the firemen. BACK ON THE JOB. Postmaster J. A. Spekenhier who has been threatened with pneumonia, has recovered and returned to his office. One of his lungs was entirely closed. Lf

OUR STOCK NEVER WAS SO LARGE; NEVER WAS BETTER SELECTED; NEVER WAS FILLED WITH BETTER VALUES FOR THE MONEY. It hangs easy for inspection, and our prices are always open and known to everyone, and our treatment of customers shall be equally as fair and open for inspection. THIS SOUNDS REASONABLE, DON'T IT? In stores without fixed or Special prices, the customer is charged in accordance with the attractiveness of the Suit.

In Stores of SPECIAL and PUBLISHED PRICES, LIKE OURS, values are always equal to prices and affords our trade the Square dealing they are entitled to. Under our method you are surer of your money's worth than with stores without special price and who are eager for fancy profits. We are content with SMALL profits and well pleased, oftreturning customers, rather than with large profit sales and dissatisfied never-returning customers. Everybody is benefited in selling goods at small profits. Only one is benefited in selling goods for large profits, and that one is the dealer. If you pay more and have the same goods, you have lost.
