Harrison Gray Otis, edj itor of the Times. Otis and his two assistants appeared before Justice Ohosebrough to an- swer charges of having published obscene matter regarding the Beat tie trial in liis newspaper. Otis was very indignant. "Hah!" he shouted, "what do they know about a newspaper. It's function is to print all the news all the time. The fact that Manuel lost his throne of Portugal through a laison with a dancer should no more be cut out than the orgies of Nero should be cut from the history of Rome.

The accident happened some distance thin side of Eriton. One of the big cars In charge of Conductor Titus and Motorman Dixon was inbound, due to leave here at 10:10 p. m. on the return trip, when Cauflold was lilt. The car was stopped and the man was placed aboard and hustled Into town atul taken to the hospital where Dr. Johnstone was awaiting and took charge of the man. Examination showed the injuries to be limited to a severe gash on the head and many minor bruises. Several stitches were necessary to close the wound in Caufleld's skull and, although it alone Is a had one, it is not thought that any serious results will obtain.—DuBois Courier. mtMmClN fjfm AT DUBOIS MRS.

A lono figure was young Beattie in the crowd that surrounded him on all sides, even windows and trees commanding the courtroom being thick with staring faces. And the prisoner sat for hours, his manner cool and collected, unfolding the sordid details of his relations with Deulah Hinford, a 17-year-fold girl for whom the prosecution alleges Beattie killed his wife of a year. Hut not alone the orgies of the four years before his marriage nnd that that preceded the homicide, but the gruesome tale of the attack by the highwayman, the wild ride to the Owen home at a speed of 56 miles an hour with the lifeless, blood-covered body of his wife in the machine beside him. was given to the jury in all its horrible detail. The prisoner, by request of the prosecution, stood up to full length and donned the blood-stained coat that he wore the night of the murder and attempted to explain why blood had not flecked certain portions of the garment If his wife had reclined against him in the way he described. The clothes of the dead woman had been burned just before the arrest of Beattle, and as more than once there was occasion to refer to them, Prosecutor Wendenburg exclaimed : C11 ESTEK F1 ELD COURTHOUSE, Va., Sept. 5. That the Beattie case may go to the jury Thursday was indicated today when the cross examination of the accused man came to an abrupt stop. The defense closed, and the prosecution began ita rebuttal of the evidence. Heattie expected a further grilling today from Prosecutor Wendenburg, but Judge Watson ruled against "any endurance test" of the witnesses. In the rebuttal Wendenburg sought to break down the prisoner's denial of meeting his cousin, Paul Heattie, and commissioning him to buy the shot gun with which Mrs. Heattie was murdered. FEARFUL WRECK NFllff ERIE Mrs. Fisher and David McCormlck had just returned from a trip to the peach farm near town in the Fisher auto and were carrying peaches from the car to the kitchen. As Mrs. Fisher entered the kitchen she tripped over a small rug and fell headlung, striking her shoulder against the edge of the screen door. She called for help and David McCormick came to her assistance. Dr. John Grube was called, and, after examing the injury, advised an X- Ray photo before any attempt be made to set It. Accordingly Mrs. Fisher left in company with Dr. Grube on the afternoon train over the Pennsylvania for Philadelphia, where the injury will be photographed by the X-Ray and the bone .set it. possible, The break is a( such n nature as to make the Injury a decidedly serious one.

In the latter game, won by the l''ats by the score of 13 to !), the Leans started off by scoring elligt. In the llrat while the heavyweights tallied one. The fact that the Leans had succumbed to the Fata two years ago made the Leans especially jubilant over the first Inning score, but their joy was short-lived, for while they were getting one more man around the-sacks the big fellows succeeded in putting twelve around the circuit. The batting, base running and sliding of Rev. Teagerilen, for the Fats, featured. The feast, served at 12:30 o'clock slVrp, was one of those delicious affairs that cold type can't do justice.

Races at tlif Driving park, a parade, festivities at tile Country club, and two dances In the evening made the day an enjoyable one for the bis crowd of visitors that was on hand. If it hadn't boon for the signs in the bank and store windows, reading: "Labor Day, bank (or store) closed for the day," no one would have guessed that Punxsutawney people were aware that such a day as Labor Day was on the calendar. Two or three times during the day the Citizens band paraded the streets and succeeded in waking the populace from its lethargy for a few minutes, but scarcely hail the band passed before the cover was on again.

The big attraction of the day waj the lnter-club golf tournament In which Punxsutawney won handily by the score of 81 to 4G. The gglfera were on the grounds early and by 2:30 o'clock the twenty-five pairs were up and away and the merry battles were not concluded until near 8 o'clock at which time the ladies auxiliary of the DuBois organize.on pounded the dinner call. There can be no doubt in the minds of the Du- Bois entertainers as to whether or pot their offering was appreciated by the visitors. Twice around the golf course is an appetizer of no mean proportions and the eatables offered by the DuBois ladles were of such kind aud proportion as to look exceeding good and taste better. To the members of the DuBois Country club both ladies and gentlemen, the members of the Punxsutawney Country club doff their hats (the ladies figuratively), and yield to them the palm as entertainers. SURPRISE FOR PROMINENT WEST END RESIDENT Hack by a quick swirl, broke away from his opponent ami sprang to his fet. Gotch followed suit and Hack immediately rushed for the American's leg. The American saved himself and by another quick motion se- From that point on Goteh redoubled his efforts to obtain the leg hold without success and perspiration glistened on the backs and shoulders of the combatants. Then a sudden yelp of delight in the grandstand and bleachers announced that. Gotch had finally made his point. He had encircled the Russian's leg with liis nimble forearm, and hoisted Hack high in the air had thrown him to the mat on his knees and dropped beside him to begin the long-looked for mat work." For a while it looked as though Gotch wanted to offer the toe hold, as evidence of superiority early in the trial. Hack evidently thought so to, for he made violent efforts to get to his feet. He almost reached an erect position when Frank grabbed him by the foot and pulled him down again. ( The lion was the first, to indulge in a really aggressive movement. This was when he threw his hand about Gotch's neck and gave him a sharp yank. Not many seconds later he :>aid the Russian back in kind. They kept clutching and relaxing their grips on each other's arms. At intervals Gotch reached for his opponent's leg, but Hack was wary. The lion took to yanking the American, but did not have a monopoly of that kind of thing by any means. Once Gotch slipped his arm around his opponent's back but the Russian swung ihe American half around and spoiled whatever purpose Frank had in his mind. Five minutes elapsed without anything startling having occurred, although there was much gripping of arms and wrists. The news of the match in a nutshell is that Gothcli won in two straight fulls, and won without being at any time in what might be called a tight place. He gained the first fall in 11 minutes and some odd seconds with what looked to me like a crotch hold and half Nelson. I say it looked that way to be. Hut my, how the experts differed. When the wrestlers neared each other and began to circle Gotcha advantage in heihgt was noticeable. There was no wild rush on either man's part to go to the mat. They cluUdiod each other's forearms and occasionally grubbed each other's necks. As for IJotch, ho is every Inch a champion. It will bo small cause for wonderment, it' news conies that bon 11 res blazed on the hills of Humboldt last night and that the whole town ran amuck in glee. He is one grand specimen of the American athlete, and his pluck and intelligence are commensurate with his heroic proportions. "It looked yollow to me," said tin1 man appealed to, and to several who jlauKhed in a sneering way. From this the intelligent reader can draw his own conclusions as to how the majority of the spectators viewed Hackenschmidt's actions at the conclusion of todiy's match with Frank Goteh. And with due deference to Manager Jack Curlev's claim that Hackeuschmidt wrenched a leg while training and went into the strugle suffering untold tortures, it must be .said that the Russian did not possess the Spartan fortitude which a strong man striving to regain I he world's championship should be endowed.
