BELLAIRE.

j. E. Provance, of Grafton, W. Va,
was here on a spree for several days
and says he was robbed of 1923. He
has no idea where, when or how he lost
the money, but says 1t is all gone, and
that he could not have lost it without
somebody taking it out OF his pockets.
] He came to Bellaire on the 22d of June,
! and be played the town ever since,
drinking all the time. He was locked
up about two weeks ago and when be
emerged the next morning he had
groat roll of money and paid his fine
without a whimper. He still wandered
about the town aimlessly and con-
tinued drinking and is kicking it up
now The fellow is on the verge of the
tremens and pretends to be looking
after clue to his money, but is not in
condition to look up anything. He is
not very communicative and when re-
porter saw him yesterdaymorning he said
] he was trying TO find out some things but
if he didn't find his money he would
have to let 1t go, and walked off, weak
and weary from dissipation. He wears
a light suit Of clothes, low straw hat and
looks very badly dilapidated he may
be a good enough man when be is
Strengthened up, but his general ap-
! pearance now indicates that he had got
quite SUN OF money together and had
| bowed IL all in excessive drink, and he
will need the care Of friends very short
ly. The police have noticed him for
some time. He wanders about every
where and is usually alone.
There was serious row in the B. &
o. yards last night and it resulted in
William Wigfeld having his jaw broken,
his nose broken and an eye put out. His
aSsaiantS were Joseph Donavin, assist
ed by his two brothers, Francis and
Thomas Donivin. Wigield was in
charge of one engine and Donavin in
charge of another. Donavin wanted
right of way and Wigfeld wouldn't give
it whereupon the three brothers made
the brutal assault upon him. His eye
was cut with a lantern and he is in a
DrecariouS condition. Warrants are out
for all of the Donavins. The trouble is
something about the different organiza-
tions to which the men belong.
William Stewart, "a years old, son OF
Brice Stewart, OF the Second ward, met
with serious and perhaps fatal acct
dent, by having the prongs OF pitch
fork run into the edge Of his eye. 1t
probably penetrated the brain as he has
been unconscious since. The accident
happened at Meals livery stable about
six o'clock Stewart and his compan-
ions were eating watermelon and a col
ored man named George Collins was
pitching manure just around the corner
of the building. Stewart looked around
just as Collins was in the act OF pitching
and received the wound.

other should be used in the town, es-
pecially when the article being manu-
featured here is the best in the country.
