AN arrest was made in Wheeling on
Monday, which may prove of great i'm
portance. A man who gave his name
AS 2. j. Ford, and who had all kinds of
burglars paraphernalla, Was taken in,
and it is strongly suspected he is one of
the gang which has been operating in
that section and torturing people. Two
more of these heinous burglaries were
perpetrated in Wheeling last week, and
in one case an old lady, Ms. Daum,
aged 70, was shamefully treated by the
burglars because she did not have as
much money as they expected.
TEN assessors have made returns to
the Auditor, and so far their reports do
not make f1attering showing. There
is marked falling off in nearly all the
districts, and it is estimated that there
will be an average decrease of from
$4,000 to $4,000 in each assessment
district. For instance, in Belmont Ridge
precinct, Flushing township, the de-
crease is $4,000; in Pease, outside of
Ma tins Ferry, S16,0OO; in Kirkwood,
$4,000, and so on. The shrinkage in
the country districts is mostly in stock,
and in the towns In moneys and credits
The entire shrinkage in the county will
foot up to between four and i've huns
dred thousand dollars.
