Mr.. Brookover acted like an honest man

by :he frauds upon the ballots, saying
very emphatiCally that II Mr.. Atkinson's
name had been scratchad on ten tickets

New Martinsville. Mr.. Breokover knew
that il it were true that there were ten
scratched tickets at Archer's Fork pre-.

he and the other election officers there
had committed perjury, and no one who
knows them believes anything OF the
kind.

it but Just TO them to say that have
not found one who did not believe that
the fraud had been committed as charg,

so disgraced our county. The Demo-

had driven his entry about one
hundred feet into the hill. While at

ened overhead ard fell. Another young
man who was working with him at the
time raised an alarm, and number OF

Miller was dead when released from
the burden OF the stone, and his body
crushed into an almost shapeless mass.
The men did not know where his father
lived, and 1t was several hours before
the body reached his home.
Mr.. Miller, the bereaYed father, is a
worthy and highly respected citizen,
and he and his family have the heartfelt
sympathy Of all who know them in their
peculiarly sad bereavement.
