FLIRNoST, W Va, December 2O.-Quite
. breeze of excitement was stirred up in our
quiet town on Sunday night last by q report
: that man had been shot and dangerously
wounded in a general row among the Eng
iish miners at the old West Fairmont mines.
Investigation proved the report to have
been highly exaggerated, and it all grew
cut O. The fact that a man named Savers
had fred shotgun at another one of the
psrty ar short range, but fortunately missed
him. William aud Edward Sayeis were
promptly arrested by Deputy Sheriff Manley
and posse, and yesterday afternoon they
were given g preliminary bearing before
Justice T. A. Fleming, who heard the eyi-
6ence of various witnesses, and the former
was held in one hundred dollars
bond to appear before the circuit
court and answer a charge for assault and
battery with intent to kill Edward Savers
and another of the participants will prob
ably have the part that they took in the
affair attended to before the Grand Jury.
Here ia a chance for lecture on the len
iency of Marion county Justice, but 1t had
best be discussed in our local sheets.
