INTERESTING EPISODE.
THE FACTS AS RELATED BY AN EYE-wIr-
NESs-HYDE AND MCCORMICK
NEXT AT TERRA ALTA,
But NoTIN FRIEND
LY WAY.

But NOT AFRIEND-
LY WAY.
Last Saturday Henry Clay Hyde
and Samuel =. Mccormick, Esqrs.,
both members of the Kingwood Bar,
were engaged as opposing counsel in
the trial of n case before Justice +.
ID. Benson, at Terra Alta. Mr.. Hyde
was cross.examining Mr.. McCor-
Mick's client, on an account fled. and
eliciting a few facts which Mr.. Nc
Cormick did not wish disclosed, he
objected TO the manner in which Mr..
Hyde was conducting the examina-
tion and insinuated that he was not
reading the dates as they were writ
ten on the account. From an eye
witness to tee whole affair we learn
that the following words then passed :
Mr. Hyde-Mr. Mccormick, you
can not talk TO me in that manner
with impunitY.
Mr.. McCormick-Well, l said it
all the same, and can repeat II.
Mr.. Hyde-Any man who says /
was reading that account wrong. is a
liar
DIR. McCOrmick.-I didn't say you
were reading the account wrong.
Mr.. Hyde. What did you say then,
sir2
Mr.. McCormick.-I told the wit
ness that he didn't know whether you
were reading it right or not. and not
to answer the question. What are
you going to do about itP
Mr.. Hyde.-Any man who says
that is liar.
At this juncture Mr.. Mccormick
sprang to his feet and threw bis hand
to his hip pocket, reaching for his re-
volver, and its shining handle was
seen by some of the bystanders; but
Mr. Hyde was too quick for him, for
as soon as he saw what Mccormick
intended he was instantly on his feet.
had his revolver drawn from his
pocket and had the "drop" on Nc.
Cormick. Nee. turned ashy pale,
trembled like an aspen leaf and took
his seat. Hyde then proceeded with
his cross.examination without further
interruption.
In the evening Mr.. Hyde appeared
before Justice Benson, waived an ex-
animation and very promptly gave
bond in the penalty of two hundred
dollars. When brought before Mayor
Hill, of Terra Alta, he was dis.
charged.
The affair created considerable ex-
element and those of Mr.. Hyde's
friends who were present say that he
was entirely jUstifable in doing what
he did.
The news of the affair reached here
on Sunday morning and telegram
was sent to inform Mr.. Hyde that if
assistance was needed, TO wire his
friends in Kingwood and it would be
Immediately forthcoming; but short
ly after this he arrived in town.

An interesting series Of articles
entitled 1.-THE Editors of Preston" is
announced to begin in the next num-

Henry Cool, the Niles road super
visor, has just finished "dressing up"
the roads of his precinct. He has
done well with the limited force st
his command, and deserves credit.
but the roads are not yet in good
condition. A few dollars from the
district or county treasury are badly
needed on the roads around Niles
and the adjoining river hills. There
is a murmur of complaint which bids
fair to grow into a storm ere long
about the neglected condition of the
roads of that section.
The Fifth Annual Convention of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of West Firginia, will be held
in Parkersburg, June 9th and 2Sth.
1t is expected to be much the largest
convention ever held in the State.
The Unions have increased in the
year past from about so TO nearly 100
and Parkersburg is preparing toen-
terrain several hundred delegates and
visitors. Miss Frances L. Willard,
president OF the National w. G.. T.
u, will be present, and mass meet
ings, addressed by eminent speakers
will be held on the evenings of June
20, 81 and %. All who are interest
ed in the battle for West Virginia
homes are cordially invited to attend
all the meetings.
The Interstate Convention Of the
teachers of Maryland and West Vir-
ginia, will take place at Mountain
Lake Park, July II to 90. This will
be a convention OF great public in
terest, and we therefore note the fact
at this early date. The teachers of
Delaware and District of Columbia
have been invited to be present. The
teachers generally of Garrett county
ought to avail themselves OF the OPP
portunity thus afforded to hear tie
important matters pertaining to their
profession discussed by trained and
experienced educators. A similar
convention was held at the Park two
years ago, which attracted a great
deal Of attention here and elsewhere.

The suggestion to the teachers of
Garrett county, in the above, article
will apply to the teachers of Preston.

ACCIDENTAL DROWNING.

Spectal 10 The Argus.
A sad csse of drowning occurred
at Tray Run, near Rowlesburg, on
Sunday last. Grant Wonderly whose
parents live a short distance above
Tray Run, was in bathing in Cheat
river along with other young men.
Young Wonderly could not swim.
he got out beyond his depth and
sank never 10 rise. The alarm was
given and a large crowd from Row
lesburg came up to search for the
body. After several unsuccessful
dives. Sherman Wheeler found the
body and braught it up. Young
Wonderly was drowned in the same
place young Frazier was drowned q
couple years ago. Mr. Wheeler It
will be remembered, found young
Frazier. He says the spots where
the two corpses we're found are not
over ten feet apart. There is some.
thing treacherOus about this "deep
hole" as 1t is called, and it should be
a warning to others to keep away
from It. Young Wonderly was about
Il years old and unmarried.

The Newspaper.

From a thoughtful article in the
Tuscaloosa (AlI.J Eoening Times
of recent date, We extract The
following which we commend tc
our readers:
"By their fruits, we shall know
then." The newspaper is fruit of
community effort. 1t is The expo
nent Of public sentiment, the re-
corder of progress. The lever that
moves the masses in matters of
public policy. 1t is the dissemina,
tor OF, Information, the guardian of
The, community's welfare. The
VOICE OF THE PEOPLE, which is heard
beyond the confines of the town or
city, and which has an effect on the
interests of the community, ac-
cOrdlng as that voice is strong or
weak.
Nothing, of course, can strength
en- the voice of The press like the
hearty o.oporStion of the COM
munity IN its work. If this CO.
operation is wanting, The reverse
must be the case and the paper is
left to struggle with the milestone
which ii finds embracing 'its work,
Strangers visiting any town OF
city invariably read the papers
published there. Unfolding the
sheet which estimates and opinions
entirely Uniformed, nine times in
ten, before the paper is laid aside
an opinion, good or bad, concern
ing the community is formed that |
can alter. This so made a
part of everyman's experience that |
it is unnecessary to comment upon
the fact.
This relation being recognized. a
double duty is evolved. Every
community should encourage and
assist its papers, and every paper
should be so conducted as TO reflect
he highest credit upon the source
If its prosperity.
