Alex Gourley Steals Horses and Sells
Them at Five and Six Dollars.
Alex GOurley, of Bridgeport, charged
with horse stealing, was brought to this
place Friday by Marshal Kellar, OF
Bridgeport, and placed in jail to await
the action of the Grand Jury. On We'd
nesday he appeared in Bridgeport with
a good horse which he sold, with saddle
and bride, to VIM Woods for So. Woods
took the horse to Wheeling and traded
him for wagon and so. On the next
afternoon Gourley appeared with an
other horse, which he sold for Sc. A
man who saw the deal remarked that he
would like to get horse so cheap.
Gourley told him that he would bring
him one next day. A son of Father
brennan, of the o. Y. NelcS, soon came
to Bridgeport, identified the second
horse as his fathers, and took steps for
Gourley's arrest. On Friday the man
was arrested in Wheeling and given a
hearing before Squire Howell, who rec
ognized him to the Common Pleas Court
in the sum of $1,000. 1t was found that
the first horse had been stolen from
man named Garden, below West Wheel
ing, and that the other had been taken
from the pasture field, at Martins Ferry.
Gourley was drunk throughout the whole

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Young Boys Life Beaten Out by tn
Hoofs of a Horse.

A Young Boys Life Beaten Out by the
Hoofs of Horse.
On Saturday evening shocking acci-
dent occurred in Wayne township, which
resulted in the death of 14-year-old son
of Fletcher Neptune, living near Pilch-
er. They had been engaged in hauling
ing in wheat, and had unhitched the team
from the wagon to go to supper. Young
Neptune concluded to ride to the barn a
young and fractions horse, and attempt
ed to lead the animal to the fence to
mount it. The horse would not approach
as near the fence as young Neptune de-
sired, and he attempted to leap some dis
tance from the fence to the back of the
horse. At the same time that he leaped,
the horse sprang farther away, and the
boys feet were caught in the harness,
and he fell head downward. The horse
at once started to run, dragging the boy,
who hung in such position that his
head came in contact with the heels of
the horse. When the horse stopped, the
boys head was frightfully bruised and
battered, and presented arevOlting spec
tacle. The boy was dead.

NO MONEY IN BANK.
A Stock Dealer Gives Worthless Check
and Lands in Jail

A Stock Dealer Gives a Worthless Check
and Lands in Jail
EFT. Coyle, a young stock dealer of Har
rison county, had hearing Thursday be-
fore Squire Alexander on the charge of
obtaining property on false pretenses. In
Difference to the wishes of some friends,
we made no mention of the case last
week, hoping that Coyle, who is well con-
nected, could purge himself of the charge
of crime.
Itappears that Coyle bought some sheep
and horse from G. s. Latham, of Flush
ing township, in all amounting to $3.50,
and rendered in payment check for the
full amount, drawn on the Farmers and
Mechanics Bank of Cadiz. Mr.. Latham
objected to taking the check, but upon
being assured that it was good, finally
accepted it, When the check was present
ed at the bank few days later, payment
was refused on the ground that Coyle had
no money there. This fact was brought
to the latter's attention, and the horse
was returned, the sheep having been sold.
Coyle failed to satisfy Mr.. Latham, and
the latter instituted legal proceedings, re-
sulting in the arrest of Coyle. AT the
preliminary hearing no defense was pre-
sented. As the matter now stands, Mr..
Latham is out 500, and Coyle is in jail.

AN OLD RESIDENT.

Death of Mrs. Lewis at Pittsburgh-Her
Interment Here.
Mrs. Susan Lewis died at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Lew Woodmansee, at
Pittsburgh, Saturday morning. She was
II years of age, and had been in precarious
health for some time. She was the widow
of SAMMY" Lewis, name familiar to
the older residents of this place, and who
will be remembered as having prior to
the war kept the old Green House, which
in time became the National Hotel. He
afterwards owned and managed the old
Lewis House, which subsequently be-
came the st. Clair Hotel. During his
ownership it was a two-story building,
and he built the extension in the rear.
1t passed from his hands to the control
of Mr. Frasier, who added the third story
to it, and gave it the name it bore when
torn away to make room for the Court
House. About 1865, Mrs. Lewis went
with her husband to Wheeling and took
charge of the Grant House, remaining
with this hotel until it was destroyed by
fire. Mr. Lewis died in October of 1878
The remains of Mrs. Lewis were brought
to this place Monday, and inferred in the
Methodist Cemetery.

The drills of the New Naval Militia,
which are soon to take place at Fishers
Island are looked forward to with great
deal of interest. Fishers Island is at the
eastern end of Long Island Sound, and
is strategic point of considerable i'm
portance, as commanding one of the chief
approaches of New York City. These
New Militia are ordered to assemble there,
where they will be met by detachment
from the North Atlantic adron. which
will assist in the drillsna "a afford the
most approved means a ast opportunities
of witnessing the new volunteers in the
peculiarities of naval warfare. A vessel
will be dipatched by the Navy Depart
ment to serve as a training ship, and no
pains will be spared to make the new de-
parture success. But nevertheless, it
is new departure, and, as such, is but
poorly regarded by number OF military
authorities. The gist of the arguments
against corps of naval volunteers is
that while volunteers are excellent for
the work of the line, special arms should
be received by trained men. A suggest
ion that loses its point when the fact is
considered that the men comprising the
new corps are in every way fitted both
by education and training, to deal with
the scientific problems of the day, either
in the abstract and concrete. The prepar-
tiOns have been thorough, however, and
all the plans so carefully laid it will need
more than an ordinary conjunction of adj
verse circumstances to prevent a sue
cessful demonstration of the usefulness
of the new militia. And with success
come the possibilities of future develop
ment that are simply appalling in ex-
tent. W. f.

FATAL SPORT.
The Termination of Sundays Hunting
Expedition.

The Termination of Sundays Hunting
Expedition.
An accident that might be used as a
text happened near Somerton, on Sunday
morning, and will probably terminate in
the death of the principal actor. A boy
named Jeffreys, a son of Levin Jeffreys,
of Bailey's Mills, went to Mrs. Kemesky's,
in Somerset township, to ask boy who
lives there to go hunting with him.
Young Jeffreys had taken gun with
him, and when near the house had hid
den it in some weeds. The two boys re-
turned to where the gun was, and JEFF
freys, in pulling the gun out of the
weeds discharged it, the charge taking
effect in his abdomen, and passing through
to the region of the spine. The hammer
is supposed to have caught in the weeds.
The injury was thought to be fatal. Such
was the ending of a Sundays sport.
