BOARD OF TRADE.

The recent failure of our shirt firm
seems to have had at least one beneficial
effect-Our merchants and capitalists are
taking measures to give the town what it
has long needed-a Board of Trade. Mr..
Joseph q. Magee has been active in the
matter, and together with Mr.. f. L..
BuckeIew, last Saturday, gathered sew
erai of our business men together to dis
cuss the matter. They made Mr.. Magee
Chairman and Mr.. Charles E. Paxton
Secretary. A committee was appointed,
with Mr.. G. NJ Dawson as chairman, to
investigate and report concerning the
best methods of conducting such an as
sociation. They adjourned to meet on
Wednesday afternoon at James Buckle
lewis Sons Office.
Pursuant to the plan a dozen gentle
men again met on Wednesday and APP

man and Mr.. 4. S. Hammil, secretary.
Mr.. Paxon read the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting aud they were adopted.

man, Mr. Hill was asked to report for the
Investigating Committee. He read ex-
tracts from the very full and excellent
constitution of the Trenton Board of
Trade, showing that its provisions con-
tanned all that was necessary for James
burg, aud would affoId some suggestions
for lines of conduct not previously
thought of, but valuable for the town.
The report was received with thanks,
and motion to formally organize as a
Board of Trade was carried. 1t was then
moved that those present who desired,
be considered members of the Board, and
that previous to the adoption of con-
stitution the other business men not
present be asked to join the association.
Carried, and the secretary Instructed to
enroll the names of those present. They

1t was moved and carried that the
officers consist of a President, Vice-Presi-
dent, Secretary and Treasurer. 1t was
voted that the annual dues be $1.00. The
following were elected as officers of the
Board: President, J G. Magee Vice
President, f. l.. Buckelew; Treasurer,

zation, to be submitted for their approval,
at a meeting to be held on Friday after
noon. at O'Clock. The committee to
solicit members was continued. Ad-
journed.
Apropos of the Board of Trade it may
be we'll to state that there are two or
more factories talked of for Jamesburg
and our business men are seriously enter
tanning the investment of capital in fac
tories for the manufacture of a patent tin
wash boiler and of shirts. We be-
lieve these offer means of employ
ment for our surplus help and will here
after place our town beyond the chance
of financial disaster by the stoppage oi
any one industry. We hope our Board
of Trade will see to it that these indus.
tries are both shortly in operation.

A WHOLE COUNTY AT WAR.
Two West Virginia Factions Arrayed
Against Each Other.

Lincoln county, w. Va, OR at least that
part Of it around the county eat, is now
in ferment of excitement concerning the
fearful tragedies enacted within the bor-
ders Of the county Thursday night of last
week. There is-9rite degree Of interest
manifested to get accurate details of the
double killing at Green Shoals on the
above night. Intelligence from that sec
ton is meagre, but enough is known to
satisfy the most credulous that Green Nc
Coy and NIilt Haley were riddled with bull
lets on the night in question by an organ
lied force numbering sixty determined
mon. The latest report direct and from a
reliable man who was detained several days
is to the effect that Mccoy and Haley i'm
plicated other prominent parties in the
Brumtield tragedy, alleging that they lMc-
Coy and Haley) were hired to kill AL
Brumfeld, his wife and Harris Brum6eld,
and that they received $500, or were to-,
when the job was completed. The attempt
on Little Al and his wife is we'll known
and that the progrrm was not fully carried
on. was because the Brumtields were too
hot on the tracks Of the assassins. The
report further says that the result of these
disclosures has brought about open hostil-
tiles, and that the entire district is arrayed
either on one side or the other.

In spite of all, however. Dr. Egbert was
E tho on1nlnn that Dr. CrOnin was killed

In spite of ALL however. DR.. Egbert was
of the opinion that DR.. Cronin was killed
by the wounds upon his head. His redirect
examination was objected to by the de-
fense. Every question put was objected
to, but the court ruled against the defense.
At the end of his testimony it came out
that DR.. Cronin did not die from natural
causes and that the wounds we're the only
apparent cause Of death.
DR.. Charles F. Perkins. who aided In
the autopsy, gave very clear and com,
prehensive description of the nature OF
the wounds and the condition OF the body.
He had no notes and those taken at the
most -mortem which were previously USED
by DR.. Egbert, were excluded bv the
court. He relied entirely upon his mem
ory. but made splendid witness. he
held that the blows upon Dr. Cronln's
head were inflicted with blunt IN
struments and gave as reasons Ior
this belief tho fact that sharp
ones would have left mark upon one
skull. :. Blunt instruments, he said, would
certainly have affected the brain,. out NOR 20,

Quite sens alton has been created at
Berthound, small village so miles north
of Denver. Three weeks ago lady ar
rived at that place with all the appearance
of being highly educated and conducted
herself in such a modest and pleasing
manner that she soon won several amir
ers, and, had it not been for the keen and
watchful eye of the city marshal, there
would have been wedding il high life be-
fore the winter was over. But the marshal
played the detective, and as consequence
the young lady was given suit of mems
cloths and told to wear them until she
could pr3ve beyound questionable doubt
that she was not man. The strangest
part of itlis that the woman, or rather gem
tleman, greatly resembles Tascott, the
Chicago murderer. and he will be held I'M

reduced to fluid, which ran cut when
the skull was cut open. He went over
about the same facts as those testified to by
DR.. Egbert, but was a hard witness for
Judge Wing. He believed the force of
the blows and the loss of blood killed Dr.
Cronin and could not be led into any adj
missions qualifying that opinion.
DIR. D. G. Moore of 643 North Hoyne
avenue testified that he was present at the
autopsy and examined the wounds and the
condition OF the body. The physician
described infinitely the wounds found ON
DIR. Cronin's head in pretty much the
same way as had been done previously by
Drs. Egbert and Perkins. With regard to
the long wound on the back of the head
DR.. Moore said it looked as though it was
a double wound-that is, that it was made
by two blows which fell almost on the
same spot. In this wound was the flap of
skin which had been driven down on the
skull without having been detached. The
first blow crushed the skin with the flesh,
and the second blow cut the lower end Of
this piece of skin loose from the head.

A Lively Crossing War.

Inc crossing trouble at Crookston,
MIMI, between the Manitoba railroad peo-
pie and the Duluth, Crookston and North
ern company eliminated when Saturday
night 2OOmen drove out from Crookston
and Joined forces with the Duluth, Crooks
ton and Northern men in attempt to force
o crossing under cover of darkness. But
the Manitoba men were "onY and had
blockaded the track at that point with four
heavy freight trains, we'll equipped with
men. There is town road at that point,
however. ana the law provides that rail
roads shall not be allowed to blockade it.
But the Duluth, Crookston and Northern
officials had secured the consent of the
town authorities to use it temporarily as a
crossing. Finding that they could not get
over the Manitoba tracks, work was be-
gun on the road, and soon rails were laid
llp to within few feet of the Manitoba
tracks. Then for the first time the Mani
TOBIAS men offered resistance. Supt.
James, Of the Manitoba, was Immediately
arrested for obstructing the highway and
taken to the city. Before evening he Or
dered an engineer to run into the train
ahead and cause wreck on the crossing,
which was done. The engineer was also
promptly arrested. "A Duluth, Crookston
and Northern engineer tried to back up
the engine, but Manitoba engines were
backed up and the engine could not be
moved. No one would take the response
bility of pulling the Manitoba engine into
the ditch and there the matter ended.
Halvor Steenerson' warned the Manitoba
people of their liability for obstructing q
highway, but theyFremained obdurate. The
Duluth, Crookstof and Northern men were
then called off. they say they could have
forced passage, but preferred to wait un-
til the injunction proceedings end.

THE TWELVE JURORS.

Judge Wing on ross-examination in
quired about each wound on Dr. Cronin's
head, one by one, to show that none of
them would produce death. He obtained
admissions from DR.. Egbert that it
was possible for man to receive any one
OF the wounds and not even fall down;
that not one of them would necessarily
cause death. and that no one could tell
whether the wounds were inflicted before
or after death. The uncertainty of the
result which must follow any one wound
was shown, but the effect of all them col
lectively was not dwelt upon by the at
torneys for the defendants. The fact re-
manned that DR.. Cronin was dead and that
the wounds upon the head killed him. So
much time elapsed between his death and
the finding of the body that modification
destroyed those signs which would have
shown the immediate and necessary effects
of the blows.
