YEAGER CONVICTED.
The Cody Gang Wiped 0ut-The Last
One Convicted.

The trial of Sam Yesger in the cir
cult court Of Preston county result
in his conviction Yeager as is well
known was one of the notorious
Cody gang of thieves and cutthroats
that for years infested some of our
neighboring counties. They have
all disappeared-are either in prison
or have been killed. Yeagef Is the
last one. He was indicted for com
plicity in the robbery of the Reckard
family in Preston county.
Yeager is about twenty-five years
of age, below the medium size, well
built, has an intelligent, or rather
pleasing, countenance, and does not
look like bad man. John c. Reck-
ard and wife, Mamie, were the prin-
cipal witnesses for the State. They
we're at the old man Richards and
saw the robbery, and both swore
that they recognized Yeager as one
of the robbers. This was fatal evil
dence TO the defendant, as he could
not rebut with other than his own
oath. Considering the situation,
the prisoner made as good defense
as could have been expected, and af
ter the case was ended shere was a
feeling among many that his SEN
tence should be made as light as
possible. Calvin Spiker and Rob
ert Hoon testified for the State.

A b. & 0. AGENT SHOT.
One of His Blerks Took Him for Bur
glar and Fired &C Him.

Mr.Chas. NJ. Rawlings, storekeeper,
and station agent for the B. d o. at
Rawlings, Md, was shot just after
midnight Monday morning and per-
haps fatally injured by his clerk,
Mr.. w f. Cresap.
The affair occurred at 1890
O'Clock and was unintentlona on the
part of Cresap. Within the last two
or three weeks burglars have been
working in that neighborhood and
have entered several private residen-
ces and stores. Mr.. Rawlings went
to the store to see if everything was
all right. He was moving around
with small light in his hand.
Mr.. Cresap observed the light
from some distance away and
thought burglars had effected an
entrance into the place. He went
for his shot gun and crept up
stealthily to the store. The door
was ajar, and walking in he let fly
one of the barrels at the figure of
Mr.. Rawlings. The entire load en-
tered his thigh and back and he fell
to the floor with a cry. Cresap went
to where Rawlings lay, still under
the supposition that he had shot a
burglar, but was Mortified when he
recognized the features of his en-
ployer.
He quickly gave the alarm and
assistance soon arrived. Mr.. Raw
lings was carried to his home and
physicians telegraphed for from Key
ser. The shot was fred from dis
lance of eighteen yards. Mr.. Gre
sap is very much agitated over the
mistake, but Mr.. Rawlings does not
blame him.

A Boy Meets With an awful Accident.
West Virginian.

On Thursday of last week Cecil,
aged between ten and twelve years,
and son of Frank J. Fesler, of Over
field, Barbour county, but who for
merly resided on Mill Fall run, this
county, met with horrible accident.
The little fellow had stacked some
hay in the stable yard, and after do
ing so concluded he had not topped
it out as well as it should have been.
He therefore climbed back to the top
of the stack to give it the finishing
touches, but before doing so he lean
ed a pitchfork, prongs upward,
against the stack. After topping it
out and having forgotten the fork,
he came sliding down the stack on
his side, when one of the prongs ran
up through his chin, also through
the roof of his mouth and out at the
top of his head, back of his left eye,
nearly six inches of the prong pro,
truding. His little brother was with
him and endeavored to pull the fork
out, but was unable to do 80. Then
Cecil walked brsvely to his home,
only short distance away, holding
the fork in his hands in present
arms" manner. His parents soon re
moved the ugly instrument, and,
strange though it may seem, the boy
is doing well, his condition being by
no means serious, and it is thought
he will soon recover.

To.the. Editor Of the New DOMINION:
think your correspondent and tn,

last Thursday night from the repor

Violin Solo. ID. Wiedman.

deliver an address that night. He ex
eused himself on account of it being late
and that he had already addressed the
institute three different times during the
week. / cannot imagine why the above
named correspondents failed to name
Prof. Brand and Rev. r. w. Ireland anc
the County Superintendent
Mr. ID. Wiedman was only on the pro.
gram for one solo but by the request Of
the County Superintendent he filled in
for those who failed to attend. The Su.
perintendent engaged Mr. Wiedman to
play for the Institute on Thursday after
noon and evening and sent especially
for Miss Lovey Cobun to accompany him
on the organ Miss Cobun plays accom-.
paniments well which but few organists
do
The Usage martial band we're invited
to play at the Gainesville celebration
but they did not offer them a sufficient
amount to justify them to go.
The above named band are playing to-
day for the Sunday School celebration

was visiting at Usage. He talked some
thing about starting glass plant al

Hay, Grain, Chop and Feed.

Unfortunately for our people the
hay and corn crops are so short as
to compel the purchase from abroad
of large quantities of hay, grain, chop
and feed Of all kinds. In addition
to the regular supply of these arti-
cles constantly kept on hand by the
Victor Mills Co, and offered for sale
at the lowest prices, half a dozen
new dealers are about to engage in
the business. The purchases must
be made for cash, the competition
will be great and the prices cut 80
that our farmers and other consum-
ers may confidently rely upon get
ting hay and all kinds of feed at Just
about cost, but collections will nee
essarily be close, and little crediting
done. Altogether the prospect for
the fall and winter is neither fatter-
ing for the consumer nor the dealer.
1t were better for all If prices were
not so low and the demand not so
great The spectacle of an agricul-
tural community buying grain and
hay, even ut low prices, is not an en-
couraging one 1t is true the neces-
sity is largely occasioned by the par
tial failure Of crops in this valley,
but also because farming is being
neglected for other pursuits.

Left Between Days.

When the colored Campmeeting
broke up at PIT. Marion, Pa, recently
some of the brethren who sang
praises to the Lord beneath the
branches of the towering oaks and
run up store bills at the Point slid
out for home between days and left
the sinners and store keepers alike
to the mercy of Heaven. One man
who was left for little item of $50.
said that the religious dodge was
played on him for trust and hereaf-
ter saints and sinners will both have
to come down with the dust. 1t
was a good Joke on the people at the
mouth of the raging Cheat in as
much as they boast that no niger
can live in that village.

A New SWindle,

A new swindle upon honest and
unsuspecting farmers has been
brought to light, and this is the
way the scheme is operated: Swim
dler No. calls upon a farmer with a
patent wagon tongue, and informs
him that, having made big thing
out of it, be is on his way home,
with only this county to sell. He
tells the farmer that he can have it
for $3.50 and if he wants it to write
to him. In few days patent right
man. No 2 comes along. He has
heard that the farmer has the right
of the county for the patent wagon
tongue, and as he has made a big
thing of it he wants to buy the right
of the county, and offers the farmer
$500, and pays $40 to bind the bar
gain. The farmer writes to No.
and sends him his note for $3.50. He
never hears of either of the men
again, but his note for collection
comes up in q neighboring town
and the farmer is out $240.
