On last Tuesday one of our city con-
stables had quite set-to. The street
race was close, witnessed by many
spectators, and the combat that fol-
lowed was warm, but sharp and short
Grandfather got away with the booty
and fortunately unbroken skin. His
outer garments, only, which were bad
ly torn and much frayed, testified to
the conflict. We suggest hereafter,
when he sallies forth on such mis-
sion, he secures for himself an arinor
impervious to the claws of his oppo-
nent. H.
Mr. George Knapp, former citizen
of this place, now of Bloomington,
H., in renewing his subscription to
the HERALD, writes as follows:
with so many others, l wish to
congratulate you on the change and
improvement of your paper. With so
many others, also, l was sorry to hear
of editor Reily's inability, on account
of health, to not be able in some way
to be identified with the HERALD. l
shall hope to hear of his health restor-
ed in the near future"
Mr. Chas +. Diefenderfer, chief of
the fire department, received dispatch
at $50 Sunday morning, from the
Mayor of Berkeley Springs, which
read. "Send a fire engine here at once.
Oar town is burning. Answer quick.
The only response that could be made
was that the engine was out of repair
and could not be used. This is not as
it should be. The engine should be
kept in perfect order all the time, not
only for the purpose of aiding our
neighbors, but for our own protection.
The many friends of Mrs. Chas. f.
Diefenderfer, of West Burke street, will
be panied to learn that she fell down
her cellar steps Saturday evening and
dislocated her shoulder. Her daugh-
ter assisted her to her room and Drs.
McSherry and Hedges were called and
though the dislocation was difficult
one to adjust, they soon succeeded in
remedying the trouble, and she is in
fair way to fully recover.
This is for You.
