Through information obtained from friends tfnd relatives who visited Garflcldfleld after the death of Robert, it is learned that there is another version of the story of the trouble which is substantially as folows: Johns, who had been employed by the Commonwealth Coal Company, through an inadvertance, had been paid twice for the .same job. William Burns, the clerk, made the mistake, and Johns, having been under the inlluence of stimulants, did not notice it. 'Is caJ lit in tried e Hujji B twice] State. I 't werl vas evl > argu» fed uj ant , for goo Had Peter Berloto gone peacefully to ih" lock-up yesterday afternoon, instead of having to l»e dragged to that place, he would have probably been given a medal Instead of being made to pay a fine. Berlote was walking on Mahoning Street with his little girl when some one paKsing made a remark to the little girl which made her father tell the individual who had made the remark, a few things which would be of benefit to him in the future. Berlote was getting nicely warmed up to the talk and seemed inclined to start something when Mallroad Detective Ward Interfered and started to take Berlote to the cooler. The foreigner didn't think that ho had dine anything to cause his arrest and immediately laid himself upon the sidewalk, making if necessary for Ward to drag him. As soon as her father was laid hold of by the policeman, the young girl started down the street at a pace which would have put a ten second man to shame. She later turned up at the lock-up with friends who paid her father's line of six dollars and twentylive cents.

W. Huston, who Raid nothing could be done, as Burns had cashed the statements of his own free will. Johns then hired with Shumaker, contractor on the P. K. R. at Seward. Hums came to him there and asked the return of the over-paid money. Johns sal dhe couldn't pay, as he didn't have the money at the time. Hums then wanted Johns to sign a paper which would make it possible to collect through Shumaker. Johns wouldn't agree to this because he had his board bill to pa yat New Florence, and didn't care to bind himself anyway.On Sunday, May 26th, Johns and John Huston (mine foretnun for the Commonwealth Company) took a walk to the mines, where they found several friends and sat down on a rail to talk. Burns saw them and came over from his boarding house. He asked Mr. Huston to lend him $5, and the latter said he didn't have it. Burns then asked Johns when he was going to pay the money ho owed. Johns replied that he didn't know whether he'd ever pay it or not. Burns then said: "I'll take It out of your hide." Johns wanted to know when that would be done, and Burns, with an oath, said, "Kight here." Johns got up and pulled off his coat. The men went for each other. They struck a few blows; then clinched and went to the ground with Burns on top. Burns said, "Now I have you where I want you." After some more struggling. Huston pulled Burns away and Johns attempted to rise. Burns then ran at him and it is claimed, kicked him on the back of the head. Johns got to his feet again in a very weak condition, and, fell over and is thought to have struck his head upon an Iron rail. He did not speak again, and lived only about ten minutes.The body was carried to the boarding house of Mrs. Khoda Anderson, at Lockport, where services were conducted on the evening of May 27th by the Rev. Shaulis. Wednesday the body was brought to this place and later taken to Frostbur1, the former home of the Johns' an dlnterred in the Hopewell cemetery. It. W. Johns of this place, who is employed at the Elk Hun shart, is a brother of the deceased, who was twenty-nine years old. JURORS GET A RAISE iblicans of Jefferson Coun- Will Meet For Transaction of Business. North Hill Providing; for Mori' Pay for Jurors mill WIUichhch Slgnnl liy Governor Smart. Several things happened Sunday to showmen in town which would hnrdly have taken place had the day be fore not been payday. In some unknown manner some of them procured Intoxicants of some kind anil proceeded to load up. As two or three of them were passing over the Kast End bridge on of them said something rather off color to a young lady who was standing on the bridge with her escort. The escort happened to be one of llie right sort and scarcely had llie showman relieved himseir of the words when the young man nit him. just hard enough to bang his head uncomfortably against the bridge railing. When he recovered sufficiently to know what struck him the circus mnn showed light, but a shortarm jab. which stretched him full length on the bridge, took it all out of him and he picked himself up and walked nway. ARKANSAS AND TENNESSEE LAWYERS The .side show contained a strong man, who was really strong, a tatooed woman who wasn't ealeomlned, a minstrel show, which might have been better, a couple musieai artists, a bag puncher, who was really clever for a woman, and a fortune teller, surely ten cents worth. The Fashion Plate shows drew two large crowds here yesterday, Che canvas at both performances being tilled to its capacity. Seldom since circuses began to come here twenty years ago, have the people of this town seen such an exhibition of trained animals as that which this circus showed here yesterday. Mules, they had, which could seemingly do anything under the sun, but talk. Elephants, wljlch showed more intelligence than a great many people. Dogs, whose tricks and stunts were endless. The aerial bar acts were never surpassed here by any show and their trapeze artists were far above the usual. Altogether the performance was decidedly a meritorious one giving to the people who attended much more satisfaction than would a threering circus. The bareback riding, so tiresome In circuses, was eliminated. In fact it was the kind of a show that pleased the people and theshow was deserving of the large crowds which it drew. MARCHING IN CAPITAL CITY MARL1NTON, W. Va., June 4 — Charged with a crime that has shucked tin* entire Stale «»f West Virginia, Warwick Ratcliff and Albert Guy were placed on trial charged with assaulting Miss Ona Bird, the sixteen year old girl wh<», with her (lance, Arnold Gludwell, aged seventeen yearn, was eloping across the mountain, intending to be married. After the crime was committed for a long time the young girl was at death's door, and the feeling in this vicinity is still so high that it is feared that a lynching may take place, even in the court room. ona is ti»e daughter of 'Squire Bird, of Marllnton, a justice of the peace, and because her parents refused permission for her to wril on ucount of her youth the young couple determined to elope. While on their way over the mountains, they were held up by Rutclllfe and Gay and Gladwell was bound, alter which they assaulted Miss liird. In the meantime Gladwidl succeeded in breaking his bonds and immehia/- ly went for aid, a posse being organized, among which was the girl's father, and the (lends were captured. Since they have been in custody the girl's father has made two attempts to kill them. 1'ITTSnURO, June 4.—Suffering I from th<< effects of nn Injury to his head, received three yonrs ago, which, aggravated by the iwe of liquor, always made him a mutiumanlar, I'atrick Ueardon, In search of a woman he had known months ago, charged M. M. Moorehead and Ttioniaa Notten n Itli having led her t'» li>a\'e him anil shot both through the head yesterday afternoon In a Larimer Avenue house. Then Kcardon committed suicide. Mooreheud and Notten, each of whom is about fifty years old, are in Pittsburg Hospital suffering from what the attaches term marvelous injuries. Both are wounded in vital spots. T he heads of both men have been pierced by bullets, and yet, If Infection does not set in, they will recover.I he history of the shooting merely tells of the unreasoning infatuation of Ueardon, a driver, aged twentyfive, for Mrs. Anna Bordlce, now of Staten Island, N. V., but who formerly lived at 41 l Larimer Avenue, where the shooting occurred. Ueardon lived with his parents In Dearborn Street and worked for various express companies. Notten was Heardon's uncle, and he and Moorehead bail rooms in the house. Shortly before three o'clock yestcri day afternoon Ueardon, unsteady 1 from intoxication, walked into Notten s room on the second flor of the bouse and told him and Moorehead ! that he had a good notion to blow both their heads oft, because they had ! induced Mrs. Bordlce to return to her husband. Both denied the accusation, and afj ter more talk Moorehead  I buy a half-pint of whiskey for Rear-" 1 don. He and Notten drank It and then Reardon drew his revolver, I "Well, I will get you anyhow," ho cried and blazed amny at Notten. Without a moan the uncle sank unconscious with a bullet hole ubove his right eye. The ball came out the back of his head. Moorehead fled and started to his room on t lie third floor. Heard on cursing loudly, followed. Two bullets Just missed Aloorehead's head and i mbedded themselves in the ceiling. The third entered at the base of his brain and he staggered along the hall to liis room. Mrs. Mar> Reese was in there getting Moorehead's soiled linen for washing. Hearing the shooting she shut the door and locked It. "For God's sake let me In. Mrs. Reese, begged Moorehead. He then fell to the lloor. Reardon ran up, saw Aloorehead's prostrate form ami sent a bullet crashing Into his own brain, dying instantly. Moorehead lay still, fearing anotner bullet, but llnding that Reardon did not move he struggled to his feet and called to Mrs. Reese. They both stepped Aver Reardon and she helped Moorehead to Dr. W. H. Robinson's office. Then the police were notified. Special Patrolmen Ayiner and Ehrenfleld hurried to tne house and found Notten. Mistaking Aymer for Reardon, he begged: "For pity's sake, Pat, don't shoot me again.*' Aymer sent Moorchad and Notten to the Pittsburg Hospital and Reardon's body to the morgue. On the latter were found a picture of Mrs. Bordlee and her live-year-old boy. Two letters were found—-one to his father, showing that he had contemplated some desperate act—and tho other, tin- police say, is from Mrs. Bordlee, promising undying devotion and that she would come when lio wanted her. Monrehead told a clear story of the nhootlng tn the hospital. He mild that licardon wan erased from drink and before getting the half pint had flourished the revolver. Keardon's father In No. six police station last night told Aymer that his Hon had been injured three years ago and that ever since when drinking he he hud made threats to end Ills own life, Mrs. Bordlce's and to kill every person that attempted to come between them. Tly Publishers' Press. MADRID, June 4.—Threats of reprisals which are being made unless Ferrer, Nakens, and other alleged accomplices of Morral in the attempt to assassinate King Alfonso and Queen Victoria on their wedding day, are acquitted at their trials which begun yesterday, have greatly alarmed the city. | This morning huge placards were found posted Ir many prominent places ail over the city, warning the Government against further outbreaks if th alleged conspirators are condemned. The police promptly removed the placards, but their appearance served to give the city a shock, and It is feard that an attempt will be made to blow up the building In which the trial is being held, or that attacks will be made upon the ministers. Evidence so far adduced has seemingly connected Professor Ferrr witfc the anarchistic and terrorist organ■» isatlons, although he denied any connection with Morral or having knowledge of Morral's plans.

The bill as originally drawn, placed the pay for Jurors at $3.00 per day, but that Item was reduced to $2.50 In committee. It finally passed both houses with a big majority In each and on Saturday was signed by Governor Stuart. The news, therefore, that the measure had receivd the approval of the Governor, wis gratifying to the Jefferson County member, who during his legislative experlnce has never faltered In his efforts to get measures on the statute books that will enure to the greatest good for the greatest number.
