high, with sleeping accommodations in the
upper story. There we're some conversions

MURDEROUs ASSAULT.
4 West Virginian Wanted at Glencoe for
Attempted Murder.

West Yirginian Wanted at Glencoe for
Attempted Murder.
The people in the vicinity OF Glencoe
back of Bellaire are considerably worked up
over brutal assault made upon George
Ault the other Jay. Aults home is near
Centreville, but he went to Glencoe on bust
ness, and while there blacksmith named
Stewart claimed that Ault owed him
twenty cents for shoeing a horse. Ault
knew nothing of the account and disputed
it, but said if Stewart would show him q
charge like that on his books he would pay
it rather than have any more talk about it.
Stewart replied that he didn't have it on a
book but he had it in his head, and with
this Ault walked away and went
iuto the store Of Piper 4
Welsh Soon after he went in
George Stewart, a sor If the blacksmith,
Sho lives in West Virginia, but who was
visiting his father, entered the store, and,
without word of warning, struck Ault on
he head, telling him to the floor uncon-
scious. He then continued his attack,
Kicking the man about the head and face,
shocking his teeth loose and bruising him
Up badly. The more blood he saw the
more infuriate he seemed to get, and not
until one of the bystanders appeared on the
scene with Ratchet in his hand could he
be made to desist, The injured man was
picked up, and from the ugly cut on his
bead andhe being unconscious it was feared
bis wounds were fatal but the brutal as.
sailant was allowed to make his escape,
none of the party thinking of his capture
until sometime afterwards when it was
learned he had skipped for West Virginia
Two men from that neighborhood were in
Bellaire on the way over the river in search
of him The witnesses to the affair all seem
to agree that Ault would have been killed
but for the timely arrival of the man with
the Ratchet. If Stewart can be found he
will be taken back to Ohio and prosecuted
for assault with intent to kill, and there
seems to be no escape from punishment as
charged if he is found.

however was defeated after amend
ment. The committee reported that
several differences existed between
the state and district school laws and re-
commended the appointment of a commit.

more nearly conform. Messrs. Alf Cald-
