Police Court.

Yesterday morning was Judge Gram
mer's last on the Police Court bench
and A reporter strOlled no TO see how
matters would go. The Judge came in

selves around as usual, SylyIs looking

Charles Seybold was the first man
fired into the arena. He had been drunk;

THE NEED OF THE FAIREsT.
30 Ne ar. 30 Far-The H.ndsomest Lad
at tina Loan.

30 Near. So Far-The H.ndsomest Lady
at the Loan.
The Bellaire Independent thus speaks
OF the awarding Of the prize at the Bel
laire loan to the prettiest lady:
The talk OF who the prize was awarded
to at the Loan Exhibition on Monday
night was so general over the town after
it got noised about that the judges could
not decide who was the handsomest
lady, that reporter started ont in quest
OF news to satisfy an anxious people. The
first thing learned was that the commit
tee was com posed OF Eve gentlemen. viz:
W. J. Kelly, V. T. Morgan, Aaron Mills,
John Baker and George r. Grafton. 1t
was afierward learned that part OF this
committee had made up report which
awarded the prize TO Wheeling belle,
Miss Ida Evans. who by the way, is a
very handsome young lady; but all the
committee had not been consulted. This
made some of those in charge OF affairs
feel that all was not right, 80 they
hunted up Messrs. Kelly and Morgan,
and had a conference OF all the
committee. This conference re.
suited in Miss Wetherald being
VI VI thC oNhSao
considered, the grades being marked
like those OF pupils in an examination
at school, and the consideration being
the eyes, the hair, the form, and the
complexion. This was not altogether
satisfactory, and when the judges were
about to award the prize Mr.. Grafton
objected. Then it was declared that no
decision could be reached, but that the
committee would decide and publish the
name in the Independent to day.
The ladies whose names were consid-
cred by the committees were, so far as
we can learn: Misses Pickering, Powell,
Hibbard, Grove, Kelly, Hamilton,
Sharp, Damsell, Wetherald and Evans,
and Mrs. VIM. j. Kelly and Mrs. II. o.
Wetherald, (nee Halle Naylor.) Three
OF the committee, Messrs. George X.
Grafton, John Baker and Aaron
Mills in the papers filled up gave
Miss Ida Evans a total OF 1918.
This before the other members were
called into conference. After their arri-
val nothing could be done TO undo what
had already been done save to vote
solid, 40 Messrs Kelly and Morgan each
gave Miss Eva Wetherald 400, making
500 from two OF the judges. Adding to
this 2i0 by Grafton, and $50 by Baker,
gives Miss Wetherald $50, thus giving
her the prize, a gold ring, by majority
.oi 2S5 over Miss Evans.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
has Forgery Been Practiced on the Gov.
ernorp

Has Forgery Been Practiced on the Gov
ernorp
Some weeks ago Governor Jackson
pardoned man out OF the penitentiary
by the name of b. II. Sheppard, who
had for years been confined, and it was
claimed unjustly. 1t further appeared
that his case had been brougl {
to Governor Mathews Attenti' n
about a year and half befoi Q
his term OF Office expired, bl I
nothing was done in the case. When
Gov. Jackson came in It was again
brought up, and this given as the true
state of affairs.
During the war Sheppard, who lived
in Eastern Virginia. sold some property
to a man named W. j. Campbell, taking
in payment part cash and part note.
Soon after, Sheppard moved TO sum-
mers county, and there bought
some property, paying part cash
and endorsing the Campbell note. In
Summers county also lived man
named w. p. Campbell and he hearing
OF the notes flying about, had Sheppard
arrested for forgery. In the meantime
Campbell No. ! moved away to Texas
and was forgotten. Sheppard's case
came on soon after the war, when ieel.
ing ran high and be was quickly landed
in the penitentiary, he not being able TO
prove that there was any other w. J..
Campbell besides the one OF Summers
county.
Years afterwards county officials
looked into his case and waited on the
Governor with petitions and ai!idavits,
stating the case and asking a pardon,
which was granted.
The .iLirrSOn Eaterprie now comes
out in a late edition and saws the ai!ida.
Wits are in part iorgeries.
Governor Jackson has examined the
papers and is suic they are all right
with the exception perhaps OF one pa
per. This is an affidavit sworn
to before n. NJ. Lowry (the
handsome delr gate from SummeB)
as a notary. Mr.. Lawiy's name, com.
parted with the pay roll OF Sergeanta.
Arms Cain, is not alike, and there is a
possibility that in that case at least for
gerry has been practised.
The Governor proposes to find out
the true case, just for the purpose OF
proving that his action was a just one.
