Steals q Whole Flock of Sheep from u
Field.
Henry Shields, a well known farmer,
lives on the most frequented thoroughiare
Of Liberty district, and only about half
mile from West Liberty. Last Sunday he
missed sixty.six head of sheep from a
field within three hundred yards OF his
residence. Inquiry developed the fact
that on the Monday previous small
flock Of sheep was driven along the road
by worthless character who has for some
time been hanging about West Liberty.
That they were Mr. Shields's sheep there
can be no doubt; they had been gone
from the field week lacking one day be-
fore their absence was discovered.
Mr.. Shields at once started In pursuit oil
the thief, and when last heard from was
at Burgettstown, Pa, on his way to Pitts
burgh. He had found traces OF his sheep
all along the road, the thief having offered
several times 10 sell them for four dollars
head. 1t is supposed they were driven
to Pittsburgh and there sold for whatever
they would bring. The sheep were all
branded n. g."

Yesterday morning, at s O'Clock, Capt,
Ohio N. Heiskell passed peacefully away
at his residence on ohapline street. he
had been in I'll health for some time though
up to Sunday evening was in excellent
spirits and gave no sign OF the fast APP

developed alarming symptoms butthought
q physician was not necessary. When
his old friend and family physician, Dr..
Bates, arrived be appreciated the sttua-
ton and had little hope Of recovery.
Gradually Capt. Heiskell fell into coma
tose state and 60 remained until he
breathed his last without struggle. d,
Capt. Heiskell was one OF generation
OF Wheeling's citizens now fast passing
away. Born in Winchester, Va, in lSOS,
the son Of retired army officer and edi-
tor, he came to Wheeling to settle in 1924.
II he had lived until November next he
would have been resident OF this
city for full sixty-one years. He was long
engaged in business, commencing his ca

his sympathies being strongly on the side
Of the Union, he entered the service as

discharge OF his duties.
Capt. Heiskell was brother Of the late
Mrs. Sydney OFT, relict Of Samuel OFT, and
q half brother Of Mrs. D Q. List and Mr..
John W. Heiskell. He married daugh-
ter OF the late VIM. Paxton. His be-
reaved widow and SONS and daughters
have the sympathy Of the friends who
knew and loved the genial, kindly gentle
man who has passed from their sight.
Capt. Heiskell was a reader Of very wide
scope, a very close observer Of events and
conversationalist OF more than ordinary
power. No man ever had friends more
devoted, and by these his loss will be
mourned scarcely less than by his own
fond family,

Councils order the shorthand man must
be had.
Mr.. Caldwell said thing was worth
doing well or not worth doing at all. This
was matter OF no little gravity; it was a
matter that was worth spending money
for. He wanted it understood at this time
that counsel having been dispensed with,
he was not going to conduct the invesu.
CATION for the committee; II there should
be witness OF whom he wanted to know
anything special he should ask the ques-
tion-something every member had a
right to do. Bear the burden OF the prose-
cution he would not, nor would he ask
any other member 10 do what be would
not. However, the citizens expected
whatever course might hG pursued, that
there would be full investigation.
It was suggested that the Chairman act
as interrogation.
Mr.. Myles said that he would be out OF
his element in that capacity, as he knew
nothing about the methods Of croSs-exam-
lining.
Coming back to the question Of hiring

refuse to vote to pay bills incurred by the
committee, as the vote ordering an inves-
tigation had been an unanimous one.
There was no telling when the iayestigs-
ton would end and all provision should
be made to have 1t done properly. Mr..
Myles said that many important measures
were often passed in that manner by
Council, one member waiting for another
to open the discussion.
Mr.. Stanley reviewed the action Of the
Second Branch in the matter. Antici-
pating that expenses would be incurred, it
had sent the resolution Of reference TO
the First for concurrence. After further
discussion the motion Of Mr.. Jaeger to re.
consider was lost, Col. Caldwell reported
the terms that could DO made with Mr.,

THE DOLPHIN,
Her Governmental Trip Proves Sue.
cessful and Satisfactory,

New YORK, May %.
From the minute the Dolphin left her pier
on her governmental trip today until anchored
in the stream of 2Sth street on her return,
nothing but good fortune attended her. John
Roach was on board and appeared somewhat
anxious. The spe. d of the Dolphin ranged
from 10 to l64 knots an hour. At the end of
six hours the steamer had travelled 80 nau-
tical miles, at an average speed Of l51 knots
an hour. From comparison of this notes
made by the officers, it appeared that the
screw OF the Dolphin had made 26.47l revolt
utions in driving the ship SO miles, at an
average speed per minute of 1880. The en-
gines had consumed 1854 lbs. of coal, or at
the rate of 45 tons in "a hours. No sooner
had the result of the trial been announced
than Roach was made the recipient of many
congratulations. The Dolphin had exceeded
the speed demanded of her under the con-
tract without pressing her engines too hard
Among the naval officers on board only one
Commodore Belknap-could be found who
was willing to admit that he had
had been on government vessel that equaled
or exceeded the speed developed by the Dol
phiu. While the members Of the advisory
board were unwilling to commit themselves
it was understood from expressions dropped
during the day that they were pleased with
the result of the trip.
