The blood was still on the pround Monday morninp. McGowan was fearfully beat up and was left for dead. Charles has been arrested and is | out upon a $200 bond in mayor's court and a $500 bond in the mapistrate's court where this assault charpe will be tried. Charles when interviewed by a Times' man, denies any knowledpe of the transaction. He says that he was not the man who attacked McGowan. A whiskey case apainst Charles, worked up by McGowan, was to come up in police court Friday. Considerable excitement has been aroused by this brutal assault upon a sworn officer. Charles has made the statement that the members of the police force allowed Walter Haney, who was locked up at headquarters to be carried down to the express office on the fire truck, in order that he mipht sipn for a gaiion or wnisKey in trie express office to his name and that the whiskey was carried hack to fire headquarters and all of the men got drunk. Charles (rave as his reasons for exposing this alleged improper conduct, that he wanted to show the people of Union _ that he is not the only had one. Upon hearing this from Charles, The Times' man interviewed Mayor Wharton, Chief Evans and others and cot the v following statement of the facts in the case. Walter Haney says, "I told Mr. Wharton I had a gallon of whis? key in the Express office; I asked him how ahout letting* Mr. O'Shields go down with me in the town Ford car after it. He said I might go and he ' let me go down there in the car with Mr. Milan Petty?one of the firemen. I got the whiskey and turned it over '' to my mother, except what I gave ' [ away. The whiskey was never car' ried to police headquarters?I took a ' pint, gave one to Mr. Petty, one to ~ "Mr. John O'Shields and one to Mr. Ed Pruitt. Mother broke the rest. e Nobody got boozy but me?I did not r see anyone of them take a drink." y Fireman Petty was called in and e when asked by Mayor Wharton if he had received a bottle of whiskey de? nied emphatically that he had received one. We publish the above statement at e the request of Charles who iterates and reiterates that he is not the only e bad one. The liquor case and also the case which the town will make out against ^ Charles for the Saturday night incident will be tried Friday. Mayor '> [Wharton says he has been lenient with s (Charles heretofore, but this time he purposes giving him the limit. The e case will attract wide interest.

A profusion of the '' season's flowers brightened the rooms. l' The* dining room gave clever and artistic reference to the approaching *? wedding. Garlands of green were ar' ranged effectively on mantel and cab" inet. The table was beautiful in pink e and green?the bride's chosen colors. A crystal vase filled with pink chrv? santhemums on a large reflector made " the floral centerpiece and there were large silver candelabra around which ^ was banked natural green moss hold? ing the lighted candles with pink 11 shades, introducing the pink and green. I The bride's place was marked with a II card bearing a hand-painted bride and y the other place cards were pictures of ' wedding scenes. Dinner was served 11 in eight courses. The whole dining room was a bower of pink and green. * Earle Bates, a life-long friend of the y bride, was called upon to give a toast to her and he responded very grace0 fully by using as his subject "When " a Bad Loss is a 'Goode' Gain," to PI urViioVi eVio roor\An/ln/l -??-1 ff II1VI1 nuv i%,opuuuCU III ncr usual r' graceful manner. !, m .
