CHARLESTON, January 80.
SIR:-It appearing that combination
of armed and lawless persons from the
State OF Kentucky have for weeks past
been making ilcursions into the County
OF Logan this State, and have murdered
two of the citizens thereof and deputized
officer of the law while in the discharge
of his official duty, and that such incur
sions still continue and that said combi-
nation endangers the peace and safety Of
the people and obstructs the execution Of
the laws, and is too powerful to be sup
pressed by the civil authorities, therefore
you will Immediately order Col. K. H.
Freer TO report to you at Charleston not
later than Tuesday night next, 3lst inst,
with sixty men, thirty each, from the
Auburn Guards and Golf Guards, for duty
and for further orders.
LSigned E. W. WILSON,
Governor.
To E. L. Woods, Adatah General.
The Governor, after due consideration
OF tie resolutions and petitions from the
people of Logan county, and from further
adyices, decided to-day to place
TROOPS ON THE BORDER
in Logan county, between Kentucky and
West Virginia. The information tele-
graphed the REGISTER that over one hun
dred of the Kentucky crowd were en-
canped on Tug river is confirmed and Is
the reason for the Governors action. The
threats made by the Kentucky crowd and
the McCOys are blOodthirsty in the ex-
treme. They have threatened to kill
more prominent citizens Of Logan, and
proposed to proceed to Logan Court House
and burn the town.
The Governor did not call out the
KanaNha Riflsmen for the reason that
they had not mustered in. The men under
Colonel Freer, have been mustered in the
longest aud are the most experienced.
Only thirty of each company under
Colonel Freer were ordered out. The
order of. A6jutant General + l.. Wood
wa sent to Colonel Freer this afternoon at
) O'Clock. The Governor says he will
order more men from old companies already
organized, il necessary. 1t is understood
that Governor Wilson has requested the
Governor of Kentucky to take like action
in the placing of troops on his side of the
river.

MONTREAL, Que, Nov. 23.-There is
much excitement here over an alleged

President-elect favors the purchase of
Canada by the United States and says
steps to this end will probably soon be
taken.
Sir John Macdonald declines to be in

Canada could not be purchased from

only by the free consent of the Cana

Flames Break Out in 3 Crowded School

New YORK, Nov. 22.-At fifteen min
utes past l o'clock this afternoon fire
broke out in the first public school at
Long Island City. One of the pupils of
the school had gone into the basement
and lighted gas jet. The woodwork
close to the jet took fire and the fame
shot up through a crevice in the
floor. Over 900 children were study
ing at their lessons in their various
rooms of the building. When the chill
dren on the first floor saw the flames
shooting up through the boards they
gave the alarm. Instantly there was
panic in every room of the school build
ing. The children rushed pell-mell for
the narrow doors, crowding, .iostling and
striking each other in their efforts to
get out. The children were piled
up at the foot of the stairways in
heaps and all attempts to bring order
out of the confusion were at first fruit
less but finally the fremen and police
were able to check the children, al
though they had to contend with an ex-
cited mob of weeping mothers that
had appeared as soon as the news
of the fire spread through
the neighborhood. The fire itself
amounted to little and as soon as it was
extinguished an examination of the in
jured was commenced. It was found
that while hundreds were badly bruised

Gen. Walter G. Newperry, ON behalf
of himself and Ruth M. Gardner, III. w.
Newberry, Mary A. Starkweather, LOU
lisa Condee, Fanny L. Edgerton, Walter
r. Newberry, A. s. Newberry and Ella
P. Darby, fled a petition in the New
berry will case before Judge Shepard,
at Chicago, on the 2ist, to authorize the
to the petitioners $751; The
petitioners represent seven-eighths
of the ownership of the one-half of
the Newberry estate, and under the will
of Walter L. Newberry a quantity of
lands in Wisconsin worth 1854 were.
allotted to the petitioners in lieu of
cash. 1t now transpires that there is a
statute in Wisconsin copied from the
New York law, which prohibits be-
quests of land in trust for a longer
period than during the continuance of
two lives. Mr.. Newberry's will left
the land in trust for a period of three
lives, and for that reason the title
of the heirs to the Wisconsin land
is void. In consequence OF the
failure of the title, the heirs allotted the
land have been deprived of their fair
share of the Newberry estate, while
those heirs not allotted Wisconsin land
have received more than their just
share, ard the former are entitled to a
contribution from the latter, SO that
their share may be made according to
the order of the court. After it was
discovered that the title was not
good the heirs who received
the lands dubbed together and
raised $27 900, with which they bought
the land from Clapp Brothers, who
properly had the title. This confirmed
the heirs title, and the amount due
from the other heirs is the sum which
was paid for the land. Tie trustees
have $50 900 which they hold subject to
the order of court, and Judge Shepard
entered an order that out of the fund
the trustees pay the petitioners 1927 900,
which will be subtracted from the re-
spective shares of the heirs to whom no
Wisconsin lands were allotted.
