The Evening Tribune. " Vol. IX CONCORD, N. C, TUESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1904 No. 93 Mayor's Court Room Filled to Overflow Attendance In terested in the Cases to Be Heard. OSBORNE IS DISCHARGED FOR DE LIVERY AS INDICTED. These be dog days. "Every dog has his day" and the untaxed dog has been having his day for the past few hours. Dog days came in for Concord yesterday when the mayor began to issue warrants, not for the dog, but for the owner, and dog days will last in Concord says Chief Boger until all the dogs have been duly accounted for at the tax col lector's office. It has been stated that there are 500 dogs in the city and that on very few of them have the taxes been collected, and this is the reason why several citi zens have delayed the payment of the tax. They say that they have been paying the tax all these years and that . knowing the law was not being en forced, they grew tired of paying until steps were taken to collect from the hundreds of dog owners who did not pay. They say that they never ob jected to paying the tax and were not disposed to resist the law or its en forcement. They did not pay the tax they declare because others did not and they were tired of the discrimina tion". This is the spirit which led sev eral'citizens to appear with counsel at the mayor's office last night and resist the warrants issued yesterday, from the office of the mayor. Messrs. W. H. Gibson and W. A. Foil were charged before Mayor Cald well last night with- owning dogs in the city limits and hot paying the tax. Neither of these propositions were de nied and they were taxed with the cost. : H. S. Puryear Esq., represented the two gentlemen and made a vigor ous speech, which, at times, was very scathing on the mayor and in which . ;v he demanded that every dog owner in the city be dealt with -as had been his cliants. . The mayor did all he could . do under his warrant and under his law, but the contention in the case was, not against the payment of the tax, but against the manner of its collection and in the enforcement, the charge be - - ing made that the mayor was not, had not, enforced the law in the past and that he allowed others to escape. - - The matter is thoroughly opened now, and the statement was made last night at the hearing of the above case ; f that the officers now knew, having made a canvas, where three-fourths of the dogs are, . :Thev are located and , will be looked after in "' every case. Such a bestir has not been irt Concord . for many days and the interest in this topic ; of : interest , overshadowing all ; others for the past thirty-six , hours. , OSBORNE discharged: Following the above hearing Henry Us borne was called. Usborne is a ' white man who was arrested for de livenne beer, so indicted . under the ':'-. warrant Osborne was presented and " three bottles were placed in court as " . evidence and submitted to. Mr. John T. Goodman as an expert witness to "name - the baby. : Examining the three bottles Mr. Goodman stated emphatically that one was beer, the other two not. The one he declared to be beer was not found to be the ' one delivered by Osborne. Osborne's - bottle was pronounced "not beer" and the prisoner was discharged. - The bottle delivered by Osborne was "Lagerbrew" or "Bcerine", two forms of beverage bottled in Concord and elsewhere..," Osborne hai been "kinder tending" to Bolin's p'ac., since the aforesaid Bolin has gone to parts rV . moved hence, Osborne smi'eJ p smile of happiness and le i the court room ' w'th his escutcheon e'e ir. - j SUGGESTION FROM "DEMOCRAT." Voter Desires the Legislative Ticket Endorsed and Messrs. Allison and HamiltonlRetnrned. I notice our county Democratic convention is called to meet very soon to nominate candidates for county of fices and the Legislature. There is no better county in the State than Ca barrus, and she deserves to be well represented in our Legislaure. It has been the custom in Cabarrus (with few exceptions) not to return its representatives, but on the other hand to send new men every time to the Leeislature. It is admitted that men who have served several terms in the legislative body of our State render better seFvice, and are more capable of carrying out the wishes of the people. I hope that Cabarrus will break the record this year anJ return Mr. Alli son and Mr. Hamilton. These gen tlemen are both men of high charac ter, and deserve the endorsement of our people. It may be they did not do all that was expected of them in the last session of the Legislature, but they will know the wishes of the peo ple much better than any new men we can send. Let us all unite on these two men and give them a unanimous nomina tion and elect them by a larger ma jority than before. Democrat. The above was given thisjffice to day for publication and THE TRI BUNE endorses it. The sentiment is right. We cannot be well represented with new men every year. ED. Chairman Rollins Proposes to Leave the Matter to the Wishes of Can didates. Asheville, N. C, Aug. 15. Reply ing to a letter from Senator Simmons, Democratic state chairman, relating to join canvass between candidates, Mr. Thomas S. Rollins, Republican chair man, has sent the following: letter to Senator Simmons : Asheville, N. C, Aug. 15.. 1904. Hon. F. M. Simmons, Chairman Democratic State Executive Com mittee, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sir : your letter relative to a join campaign between the Republi can and Democratic candidates in this state was received some time ago and would have been answered sooner had it not been for my absence. Replying thereto, I beg to say that I have conferred with our candidates, and some of them favor a joint cam paign while others do not. Before your letter was received, I am in formed that some of the ' nominees of my party had aire ad p challenged their Democratic opponents to canvass to gether. For instance, Mr. Meekins, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, had challenged Mr. Winston; Mr. Reynolds Republican candidate for Congress in the fifth district, had challenged Mr. Kitchin : Mr. Newell, Republican candidate for congress in the ninth district, had challenged ; Mr. Webb ; Mr. Ewart, Republican can didate for congress in the tenth district had challenged Mr. Gudger. ' You are also aware of the fact that Mr. Glenn, Democratic candidate for governor, has challenged" Mr. Harrjs, and that Mr. Self, Democratic candi date for elector for the state at large, has challenged Mr. Linney. Some of our candidates have agreed upon joint campaign while others have de clined, and as the various candidates of the two parties have taken the sub ject up with each other independently of us, I think that we should consult their personal wishes, and leave the matter entirety with them. 'r In this connection I will state - that our electors for the State at large and our condidate for. lieutenant governor and some of our other candidates are exceedingly anxious for a joint discus sion." I shall be glad to meet you at some convenient time and place and arrange a list of our candidates as de sire to canvars together. ' With kindest regards, I am ' ' : ' ' Very truly, ( THOS. S. ROLXIN& )l Chairman Republican State Exrfl tive Committee." . . . CONDUCTOR UNDER ARREST. Freight Conductor Charged with Stealing Goods from the Cars He Hanled. Monday's Salisbury Sun says : Capt. J. D. Phillips, of Spencer, until a few weeks since a conductor on the Southern between Spencer and Selma, was arrested at his home at Spencer this morning about 7 o'clock and is now in jail awaiting trial Satur day morning at 10 o'clock before Esq. John C. Kesler. For several weeks both Chief Con- ley and Capt. Haney, of the Southern's detective force, have been working on the numerous robberies on the Spen cer and Salisbury yards. The loss on account of merchandise taken from the cars on these yards has been stu pendous but up to this time the ar rests have been confined largely to ne groes. A web of ciJence sufficient to warrant his arrest was woven around Capt. Phillips and at 7 o'clock this morning Chief Conley, Capt. Haney and Deputies Julian and Sicelorf went to his home and found him yet in bed. They immediately proceeded to search his house and among other things found two typewriters which had been stolen from a train run by Capt. Phil lips last December. Other articles of merchandise were found on the prem ises. The room occurred by Mrs. Phillips and 7 weeks old infant was not entered. When Capt. Phillips took leave of his bed-ridden wife the officers brought him to Salisbury and being unable to furnish a $1,000 bond will probably remain in jail until his preliminary trial Saturday. Fell Three Stories and Laughed. So pleased was two year old Anth ony Cofrlgan, of No, 2523 North Ban croft street, with his flight through the air when he fell from a third-story win dow at his home yesterday that he clapped his hands with glee after his experience. The little fellow was clambering over the sill of the window when he lost his balance and plunged to the pavement. The mother rushed screaming iivo he street, expecting to find the child killed or badly injured. Instead she found the little fellow cooing and clap ping his hands in glee. Almost hys terical with joy the mother took him to St. Joseph's Hospital, where the physicians found he was parctically un injured. Philadelphia Record. Martial Law for Paraguay. Washington, Aug. 15.

Lani and Naval Attacks in Progress. Japs Occupy Nearby Hills, Cheefoo, Aug. 15, lip. m. Thst a general land and naval attack wrs made on Port Arthur todoy is indicated by information from various sources. The statement that the naval attact was made at 5 o'clock in the morning comes from authoritave but not dip lomatic quarters. Junks which arrived her today say the Japanese occupied the Liauti Hills and Sushien, which is two or three miles north of the fortress. Five warships and seven torpedo boat destroyers, according to the junks, returned to Port Arthur the night of August 10. Junks which arrived here today, having left Port Arthur August 12, brought reports that the Japanese oc cupied new positions on that day. The fighting was heavy but intermit tent, and indicated that the assault was being continued. The Russians at Port Arthur are reported to be down hearted. The men who came on the junks declare that the commander of the Japanese fleet before Port Arthur informed the Russian commander of the place that if the warships which returned to tne harbor alter the sortie of August 10 were sunk by the Rus sians and Japanese would shell the town with lyddite. A Chinese who has returned here from Liao Yang declared that the cas ualties in the recent fighting in that vicinity have been enormous on both sides. Pockets Rifled. (Ireensboro, N. C, Aug, 15.
