ANOTHER SUDDEN CHANGE
In the Management of the CONNER.
cial Hotel.

Inc proprietary interests In the
Commercial Hotel have proved of
vacilating nature, uncertain in ten
ure, of late months, and again it may
be recorded that the last late con
ductor of that hostelry has made
hurried exit from the scene of his
recent operations, and where he is
has not been learned, nor has he had
the amazing grace to send back word
as to his whereabouts.
They have been coming, and Just
as surely have they been going, these
recent Fayette county importations
of genuine hotel men. Conner fol.
lowed Parson Jaco and Frey has fol-
lowed Conner. Whether they will
meet to compare notes is not rele-
want just now and will not be specu-
lated upon. But the object is TO tell
of the sudden spiriting away of Land
lord Frey.
Mr.. Frey came here from Unions
town shortly after Charlie Conner
had taken his famous walk, and in
stalled himself as proprietor of the
Commercial, and be it known, he
kept good hotel so far as cuisine,
good service and all that is concern
ed. These did pot deteriorate through
all the attractions of winning smiles
and voluptuous form of Miss Craft
which were exercised over Frey. He
was married man, but that did not
deter him from violations of the
marriage VOWS in his alteration of
this article of Fayette fair femininitv.
But alas and alas and alackadav |!
Mrs. Frey came up from Uniontown
on Sunday. Her welcome was by no
means warm, and this was good and
sufficient cause for Frey's son, a
young man who, by his gentlemanly
department and never failing accom-
modating treatment of guests, is well
thought of by all, to have his right
eous indignation aroused. He went
on Monday and had warrants sworn
out before Squire Staggers for Frey s
arrest, charging him with selling
whiskey without license and with
living in adultery with the Craft wo-
man. A warrant was also sworn out
for the woman's arrest.
They were not arrested. Perhaps
they heard of the intended legal pro
ceedfngs. Be that as it may, they
left in the moonlight and each others
fond companionship Sunday night,
leaving Mrs. Frey and son in posses
sion of the hosiery. They have not
returned. 1t is not probable that
they will, for time at least.
The ''den," that is the secluded
portion of the basement where the
illicit traffic in spirits is alleged to
have been conducted, was entered by
the strong arm of the law as repre-
sented by Tim Bennett Monday eve
ming and half barrel of whisky was
confiscated and placed in the Farm,
ers' store for safe keeping, and mean
while the younger Frey is running
the hotel and giving as good salts.
faction to the patrons as his capable
though erring father did. Meanwhile
Tim still holds the warrants and
looks around carefully to see who all
comes to town from the direction oil
Fayette.
Mr.. Hustled, representing the heirs
of VIM. Hustled, who had the origi
nal lease of the hotel, came up from
Uniontown Tuesday, after hearing
of Frey's sudden departure, to make
arrangements for the future, carry
ing on of the place. This has re.
suited in Mrs. Frey taking charge
and she will be the proprietor from
now on, which is splendid assurance
that the Commercial will continue
to be first class hotel
