1t will be seen from the foregoing that
Brooke county raises more barley than
any other county in the Panhandle,
and Marshall more wheat, Indian corn,
oats, buckwheat and rye than any OF
the other three counties. Her wheat
crop is larger than that OF all OF the other
three combined. The same can be said
OF her in regard to the Indian corn and
rye crop. Indeed, it can be said That Mar.
shall county takes rank as one OF the
best grain raising counties OF the
State, only two exceeding her wheat
product, viz: Jefferson and Berkeley.
She is only inferior to Preston as an oats
raising county aud is next t. Jefferson
as an Indian corn producer. Ohio
county in the raising of all cereals has
take high rark, and, for very small
county, has better record than any in
the State, comparatively speaking, thus
showing how highly her acres have
been cultivated and the advantages Of
advanced methods of farming.

Soma Fine Work on the Fancy Horses at
the Fair.
From yesterdays Leader.
During one OF the trotting races, at the
Fair. last week, Leader reporters atten-
tioa was directed to knot OF gentlemen
engaged in examining the shoes OF the
various horses being groomed on the
track, preparatory 10 the start. Thinking
an accident had happened, the reporter
drew near to post himself. The gentle.
men, who were strangers here, besides
being experts, were inspecting the man.
ner in which Lucy, Calmar, Gem and
other flyers had been shod.
One declared that the smith
WAC had made and fitted those shoes
was al artist; and he proceeded to show
of the fine points of the shoeing, as
only horssman could. The good work
was apparent to anybody. The repor.
torial curiosity was aroused. and upon
inquiring we learned the shoeing was
the work OF Jas. Anderson & Son, the
well.known practical smiths, on Market
street, Just below Sixteenth. Further
inquiry developed the fact that most of
the best horses entered for the races had
been shod by this rirm and in manner
that called forth much praise from the
jockeys and drivers, as well as the
owners.
The Leader man was shown a pair of
the choes-trotting shoes-made by the
Messrs. Anderson, which were on exhi.
bition at Schwartfeger's stand at the
lair. They were elegant pieces of work
and it was very evident they were the
result OF combined science and skill.
There is nothing like hsvinga good horse
well shod.
Complimentary as the above allusion
Is to the firm, especial credit is due to
Mr.. Bob Anderson, OF the firm, for his
excellent work. Anyone VINO has a
good horse should have him shod by
Mr.. Bob Anderson.

The Red Men-From q Slight
Clue Temperance Personal
Items.

PARKERsBURa, October q.
The "Red Men" Of Writ county have
again taken the law in their own hands,
On Tuesday night last they proceeded
to the house of one Mrs. Packers, near
Elizabeth, and finding her alone they
took her out and gave her a brutal whip
ping. They expected to find certain
we'll known citizen in this lady's ~
com psny, and intended to give him q
taste of RED Mems" remedy for offend
ers OF law and decency. 1t is probably
true that this woman is not entitled to
much sympathy, but at the same time
all right thinking citizens will condemn
al such lawless acts. Mrs. Packers
Yesterday s&ore out warrants Tor the
arrest OF the parties concerned, and
some OF them had hearing and The
evidence was considered sufficient to
| bind them over to await action OF the
next grand jury. The law abiding citi-
zens OF Writ county are determined to
aid in the prosecution OF all such offen'
ders, and will not stop until these dis
graceful organizations are broken up.
Capt. Jim Mehan. OF our police force,
deserves great credit for the manner in
which he ferreted out the burglars con.
cerned in the robbery of Gaidway's
store about three weeks ago. BY the
aid OF
A Small Pocket Comb,
which one OF the burglars lost in
or near the store where the theft
was committed, Captain Jim obtained q
slight clue 10 the thieves and following
the trace with his usual skill in such
matters, he succeeded to-day in arrest
ing Chas. Murray and John Athey. A
portion OF the stolen goods was found
in disreputable house kept by Lou.

was also arrested on charge OF having
received stolen goods. A hearing was
had before Justice and all the parties
held to answer, and failing to give bond
were committed to Jail.

THE PARRICIDE,

William Wier, the alleged murderer,
is about SO years OF age, and has borne a
very hard reputation for many years.
He is a brother OF George Wler
now confined in st. Clairsville Jail for
the murder OF man in that place last
Christmas. He is possessed Of most
ungovernable temper, and has long been
regarded as a dangerous man. The peo-
pie are securing the country for him
and in the event OF his CAPTURE it is
feared that summary justice will
be melted out. At & o'clock
last night Gen. Wier was ia comstose
condition, and the physicians lear that
his recovery is impossible as he is ST
years old and very feeble.

Last Saturday night the little city o
st. Clairsville west OF this city was cleo
trified by the announcement that "m'
Wier, dissolute young man OF that
place. had made q murderous assault
upon his father, the venerable Ge1 .
Wier, one OF the oldest and most IT
spected citizens OF the town. lnves'l-
cation developed the fact that there was
a young girl in the family some thirteen
or fourteen years OF age, who had from
time to time lived with lady OF the
town and who had become so attached
10 her that she desired to adopt her and
made a proposition looking to said
adoption to tue old General, but be had
CURLY rejected it. William WIer, son
of his, SO years OF age, was
yery anxious for some reason or
other that the old gentleman should &C.
cept the terms OF the proposition, and
became very angry because his father
declined to bind her out. Things went
on this way Tor some time until
SATURDAY NIGHT LAST,
when Young Weir came home and again
demanded that the girl be given
into the custody of the woman who
wanted to adopt her, and again the oil
man refused his consent to the de-
mand, when his unnatural
son seized him by the throat and
dragged him into an adjoining room
SAYING as he went: "l'll make you
do it. I'll make you sign the
paper" Reaching the next room
he violently assaulted his father, break
ing the bridge oil hisnose and lnfiicting
wound on his forehead, and fiinging nj:
inanimate form from him, the back o
his head came in contact with something
that crushed it like an egg shell, and
stretched the old man in
