shortly before G oYhx-k, and ipii'stioiicd
roiii-ernin the atTair. Wilson stated that
the two men who had attacked him,
were fishermen living in thi- neihlxir
hood, whom he did not know. He de
nied ab-oliitely that he was attempting
to break into the box. Said he, "I was
just coming home from town, and when
the car arrived at the i-nd of the line I
irnt olT, and started walking toward the
house. I had not proceeded far until
thee two men ran after me, nml began
to beat me terribly. I defi-nded myself
but they were too strong fop me, and
when they had knocked me almost sen
seless, drag-d me back to the car and
told the conductor that I had b.-en try
ing to rob the car.''
Young Wilson state that the two
men were under the influence of liquor
when they assaulted hira, and knowg of
no reason why they should have thought
he was trying to commit any crime.
"I am well known by the motorman,"
he continued, "and the idea of robbing
the car had never entered my head. It
is perfectly preposterous."
Wilson said that when the men drag
ged him aboard the ear, they let loose
of him, and he at once dashed away, and
ran home.
John Wilson, the young man's father,
conducts a small cigar stand in Union
town, and the family has always borne
a good reputation in the neighborhood
On the car with Wilson at the time
of the trouble was another young roan
by the name of W. Krikson, and it is
said that he in implicated in the affair,
having helped Wilson in his effort to
break open the box. When the two fish
ermen seized WriIson, Erikson it seems
jumped off the front end of the car, and
ran home.,
After an investigation into the
trouble the police last night about 7
o'clock placed both Wilson and Erikson
under arrest, and they are now confined
in the city jail. They will probably
have their hearing this afternoon.

"An amendment to the armilun

meet with favor in the different di
tricts. First realizing that part which
leaves it to the court whether work
shall be done by day'i work, or con
tract, ana enacting in its sieml an
amendment granting this power to the
taxpayers.
Another amendment giving the dif
ferent districts the power to elect each
year at the annual meeting or otker
wise three members of their own body
who shall constitute an advisory board,
meeting once a month to consult with
the supervisor about all matter con
nected with work for which money has
been voted by special tax; this body
representing the majority, would be of
use to the county court, and put n stop
to that class of busybodies who are
constantly getting the car of the court
to father their own schemes, and they
would also have the right to call meet
ings of the taxpayers whenever occa
sion arose. This amendment would
not be obligatory on any district, but
discretionary to use as they aw fit.
" We have school directors elected to
safeguard the interests of the taxpay
ers, and why should we not have the
same in the road districts where larger
sums are involved? An amendment like
the above would meet with favor, but
if anybody has a better favor we would
be glad to hear from them, ho that
those gentlemen who are going to rep
resent us in the next legislature might
be instructed to work for this change.
I am yours,
