The MARTINsBURG HERALD in
summing up the good men to repre-
sent Berkeley County in the Legisla-
ture this fall, among the number
names our young friend, George M.
Bowers, as the first one. Geo. is a
good man for the place and a Republi-
can to the core. We would like to
see him receive the nomination, which
means his election.
SAD AcCIDENT.-Our usual quiet
community was greatly shocked on
learning through telegram, received
here Monday evening, that " Phil, !"
youngest son of Mr.. Ed. and Mrs.
Emily Pendleton of this place had
accidentally shot himself at Miles
City, Montana, on the 10th inst, and
was dead. These are all the particu-
lars that can be obtained at this time.
Phil, it is remembered, left Berkeley
Springs something over two years
ago, having accepted a position with
Biddle & Ferdon on Cattle Rancho
in Montana. The terrible accident
is universally regretted by all who
knew him. 1t iShard to think that
such a bright and intelligent young
man should meet such a fate. The
parents have our most heart felt SYM
pathy in their sad bereavement.
The body has been shipped to this
place and will arrive about tomorrow.
The funeral services provided the
remains arrived Saturday, will be
held in the Episcopal Church Sunday,
conducted by Rev. w. T. Leavell,
after which they will be inferred in
Greenway Cemetery.
The canal payboat Maryland pass
ed down the line the past week pay
ing off the regular employees for the
month of June, which amounted to
$4,000, they also paid off the roll for
labor done at dam No. 6, amounting
to $4,000.
J. Milton Ward an employee of the
G. & O. canal on Bergan's division
near dam No. 4, got on the war path
on Tuesday last and raised consid-
cradle row in that neighborhood, by
to kill Mrs. Mary HAM
mond, who he had been living with
him for several years, but whom he
lately separated from. VIM. Mccoy
and David Harris interfered to protect
Mrs. Hammond and were badly beaten
by Ward. Warrants were sworn out
by the injured parties and placed in
the hands Of the Sheriff, who
with Constable Lindsay from this
place made the arrest the same even
ing, and lodged Ward in Jail. On
he had a hearing before
justice Bitner in Hagerstown, who
held him to bail for his appearance
at court in 5000 for an assault with
intent to kill Mary Hammond, and
$500 for an assault with intent to kill
VIM. Mccoy. In default of which he
was sent tojail. : Williamsport Leader.
