A GREENE COUNTY DROVER
Shot and Robbed of $642 Near Fairyiew

Lindsey Patterson, young farmer
and stock dealer, of Smith Greek,
four miles from Waynesburg, was
shot and robbed of $642, near Fair
view, w. Va, a few days ago. Mr..
Patterson went to Fairview, Monon-
gala county, and stopped at store
about dusk to have a bill changed.
A little later, while he was riding
along the road in lonely spot he
was suddenly attacked by two men,
the taller of whom seized his horse
by the head, while the other present
ed a pistol and demanded his mon
ey. Taken by surprise, Mr.. Patter-
son replied that he hadn't much, and
handed out the small money in his
pants pocket, at the same time at
tempting to spur his horse forward.
Seeing the movement one of the rob-
bers fired at him, but the first ball
missed its mark, while the second
ploughed its way through the side of
Mr. Patterson's vest, and struck him
in the bride arm near the wrist.
Seeing the desperate men purposed
becoming murderers as well as rob-
bers, if necessary, Patterson unbut-
toned his vest and handed out all the
money he had,$642, whereupon the
scoundrels turned his horse round
and sent him back the way he had
come, threatening to kill him if he
went ON.

A Disease Breeder.

A gentleman came to the New
DOMINION office yesterday and said
that be wanted to make a vigorous
kick, in fact, that he intended to
alight on somebody's frame with
both feet, and all spraddled out.
u desire said the gentleman to en-
ter protest against people connect
ing water closets with those old sew
ers that we're only intended for car
rying off water from cellars. They
are simply walled with loose stone,
and at every corner, and many other
places, there are vents that emit
stencil that almost knocks one down
when passing them. People who
want sewers from their houses should
be forced to put in sewer pipe or
wait till a system of sewerage is
adapted by the town. One of these
old sewers passes under my house
and because closet is connected
with it and all kinds of slop is
thrown into it l will have to turn
it from my cellar and make a new
drain. The worse drain of the kind
commences above Wiley street, runs
past the corner of Wiley and Main
street and through yard just be-
low the the corner, from that point
it goes almost all the way to the
river in an open drain. The proper
authorities should lose no time in
seeing who have connections with
these drains and force them to dis
continue the use of it; if they do not
you can look for an epidemic of some
fatal disease in this town. If this
matter is not attended to-" continu-
ed the gentleman, 1--WE will furnish a
telescope SO that some people can
see through mill stone"

DIR. A. b. Mason has come home to
stay, having resigned his position as
Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue.
The Board of Education OF Battelle
district did very unwise and very inn
prudent act at their meeting that OF put
ting down the wages of teachers. No.
to 500; and No. 2 TO 1923. Last year No.
was $32, and No. 2 $2S. By this act
the Board has certainly thrown itself Ii
able to the severest censure of all true
friends of the Free Schools, for certain
it is, at such wages teachers can not be
had who will do the work of the schools
in the manner to which our children are
justly entitled. The teachers are not
the greatest losers, but the children.
Most OF the teachers can go somewhere
else and all experienced teachers who
can will, and should, go where wages arc
better, and their work will be apprecia-
ted. Battelle district does not embrace
all of the United States, nor all of Mo-
mongolia county. One member protest
ed against such great reduction but he
was in the minority.
