ERUPTION III NORTH
ENDOFJHE BIT
Roscoe Clayborne and Mrs.
, Carrie Coleman Have a
Spirited Encounter.
There was an eruption in the peace
find- quiet of north end colored circles
"Monday afternoon, which resulted in
2losco0 Clayborne- facing Judge Con
verse in the city court. After an
hour's delay waiting for the prosecut
ing witness, Mrs. Carrie Coleman, to
appear in court, Judge Converse dis
missed the case. He also stated that
n the future when people swore out
affidavits for the arrest of the objects
of their vengeance and then, without
reasonable excuse, failed to put in an
appearance to prosecute the case when
called for hearing, would meet the dis
pleasure of the court, either by having
the case dismissed or being-Tined for
Contempt.
Police officers state that Clayborne
Monday told Coleman to keep his eye
cm Mrs. Coleman. "When the irate
woman learned that Clayborne had
been talking against her, she sallied
forth, armed with a pair of shears, to
inaugurate a little scene in which Clay
borne was billed to star in the title
role. She met "Roscoe while he was
riding down the street on a dray horse.
Mrs. Coleman promptly gave battle
Hnd the jabs of her shears in the calf
of his leg caused Roscoe to alight from
his charger and strike Mrs. Coleman
in the Jaw. The police state that
Oarborne, after striking Mrs. Cole
man, became the vortex of a miniature
street fight, Roscoe being beset on all
rides by friends of the assaulted wo
man. He finally made his escape and
Mrs. Coleman then swore out a war
rant for his arrest.

HAD APPARENTLY BEEN IN GOOD
HEALTH AND RETIRED MON
DAY NIGHT IN THE BEST OF
'SPIRITS.-:-r.:r-t , . - ,
Mrs. Catherine Ilasecoster, wife of
John Frederick Ilasecoster of 209
South Thirteenth street, a well known
and respected resident of this city,
was found dead in bed this morn
ing by her husband. The cause of the
sudden demise of Mrs. Ilasecoster,
who was considered in fairly good
health, is attributed to an attack of
heart trouble. She was . sixty-one
years of age.
Mrs. Ilasecoster was attacked last
fall with shortness of breath, due to
heart trouble, but since that time has
been in apparently good health. Mon
day she. probably overtaxed herself at
some house work. She retired in
good spirits. Coroner Bramkamp was
immediately summoned and he pro
nounced death from heart trouble. -
Mrs. Hasecoster was a resident of
Richmond for a number of years and
had a wide circle of friends. Her
demise will be keenly felt by rela
tives and friends, among whom she
was known for her kind and loving
disposition. The funeral arrangements
have not yet been announced.
THE STONE PILE FOR
WILLIE WOODS, SHINE
Schooner of Suds Gets Colored
Boy Into Trouble.
Willie Woods, shine at the Sim
mons cigar store, and alleged town cut
up, partook of a schooner of suds
Monday evening, which resulted in
Willie accumulating a package. Wil
lie became frivolous on the streets and
playfully bantered divers policemen to
chase him. Three officers finally laid
a trap for the frolicsome colored lad
and he dashed into the arms of Officer
Winters. The open front patrol wag
on was called and the crowd that col
lected pn Main street to witness AViilie
talce a ride to the city jail resembled
circus day at New Castle. Willie was
still in high spirits after being locked
in the drunk storage room and playful
ly broke out a window. In the city
court he was fined $1 and costs and
despite his efforts to have friends
come to his rescue with the "necessa
ry," Judge . Converse ruled that it
would be best to have -Willie do time at
the county jail. Willie's stone pile
hammer has been ordered.

Dr. Wr. O. Waggoner, United States
government inspector at the Richmond
Abattoir company's plant, has received
a letter from Secretary Wilson, asking
him to attend the meeting of all Indi
ana government meat Inspectors,
which will be held in Chicago May (5,
and will continue for several days.
About loO meat inspectors, which are
distributed throughout Indiana, will be
in attendance. Both Secretary Wilson
and Dr. A. B. Melvin, chief of the bu
reau of animal industry, will deliver
addresses, while a general symposium
will be held on the questions that are
confronting the inspectors of Indiana
at the present time. Secretary Wil
son believes there is room for im
provement in Indiana inspection and
the whole service will be discussed in
that all questions may be settled.
Although it Is not known definitely
it is probable that the placing of -additional
men in Richmond will receive
attention at the hands of the confer
ence, and the situation here, which is
one of the most unique in the state,
will be thoroughly thrashed over.
Thomas Mcdirr, one of the best
known residents of this city, . was
found Monday afternoon on Washing
ton street, Indianapolis, in such a
feeble condition that he was unable
to walk and, at first, unable to give
much account of himself. He was
taken to police headquarters until
his case could be Investigated. While
In the cell Mr. McGirr, who is over
80 years of age, fell and cut the hack
of his head. After he had been re
vived and attended by a physician,
Mr. McGirr stated that he was v.'slt
ing a neice, Rebecca Hanson, and
that his home is'iu Richmond.
Formerly Well to Do.
Mr. McGirr was at one time a well
to do resident of this city but in
late years he has met with reverses
and prior to his leaving the city last
Friday to make his homo with a
nephew in Indianapolis, he was In
destitute circumstances. Recently Mr.
McGirr had to give up his home on
North D street to meet his debts and
since that time he has lived on the
charity of friends. B. A. Kennepohl
a few days ago appeared in police
headquarters and told of the condition
of the old man and recommended that
the authorities take some action in
his case. Mr. Kennepohl stated that
Mr. McGirr came into his restaurant
one morning and that it was learned
the old man had had nothing to eat
so Mr. Kennepohl made arrangements
to board Mr. McGirr at the restaur
ant. Aided by J.j B. Dougan.
John B. Dougan became interested
in the pitiful case of Mr. McGirr and
fwhen his nephew notified local fr!ends
that he would care for him at his
home in Indianapolis, Mr. Dougan
purchased Mr. McGirr a new outfit of
clothing and sent him to the home
of his nephew-. It Is thought that
Mr. McGirr while wandering about
j Indianapolis fell a victim to his in
! flrmities but that by this time he is
once more at the home of his nephew.
During the years 1S76-1877 Mr. Mc
Girr served a3 councilman from the
second ward and after that trme he
j served for a number of years as con
stable in Justice Lyle's court. He
made himself generally popular and
there are but few. of the older resi
dents of this city who are not at
quainted with him.

JlS.479.l2
In the young men's squad contest
the interest seems to Intensify. Bartel
takes first place from Dill again but
by very close . margin. All of tho
squads hnve taken a spurt and It
would not be surprising that these
young mn do not reach 20,000 before
the campaign Is over.
An Interesting Gathering.
One of the most interesting gain
erings of the Y. M. C. A. was that of
Monday night when the young men
reported on the house to house effort.
Af one young man expressed It, it was
like an election night waiting for tho
returns, and then beginning to como
In from nine o'clock until after ten
with their reports. The experiences
cf these young men as related by them
was Interesting, In some cases amus
ing, and in all cases encouraging.
Contrary to the expectation of Rome,
jouns men came in wun neatnlng
faces and happy hearts, mostly re
porting the kindest and the most
courteous treatment in the homes vis
ited. ; t .
The young men engaged fn ihTa
work are fast learning things about
the city of Richmond that they had
never known before. They are learn,
ing of the apparent lack of interest
In the true welfare of the young men
of the city on the cart of thoso whn
are abundantly able to hel :hl move
ment to success. On tho other hand
they are getting heart touching les
sons of sacrifice from the toilers in
the cottage and the homes of the
great middle class, who are always
the backbone of any luoeuient for
progress. '
Surely the work of these young men
and the attitude of people in modern
circumctences In the town, has not
only demonstrated the need, but ata
the anxiety of the people of Rif h
mond for the Youug Men's Christian
association.
The total reported by the young
men In Monday night's effort on the
house to house canvass, was $809.25.
The report was most encouraslnr In
view of the fact that the young men
had scarcely touched their territory.
With one week left to work and ov
er $10,000 to get, In order to secure
Mr. Reld e offer, a sacrifice must be-
come more general. This amount of
money cannot be raised among the
poorer classes who have been giving
out of their needs. The time has
come for those who have been blessed
with plenty to get under this burden
and do much better than they have.
