RAISING $40 BILLS.
Further Details of the Operations Of the
Freelands, Of Terre Alta,
In Chicago.

The announcement that Judson
Freeland and his wife Bell had been
arrested in Chicago for raising
ten dollar bills to fifty caused a ire
mendous sensation at their home in
Terra Alta and throughout Preston
county. Mrs. Freeland has conduct
ed a millinery store at Terra Alta
for several years, and her husband
was up to a few months ago engaged
in the livery business. She is the
daughter of Daniel Albright, one of
the wealthiest retired farmers of that
county, while he is descendant of
one of the best families. They left
Terra Alta about October 10. for a
visit to the Worlds Fair Soon af-
ter their arrival in Chicago lot of
$50 spurious bills were passed. In
each case the description of the par
ties filled that of Mr.. and Mrs. Free
land. The bills were each raised
from genuine ones of the $40 demon
ination. The couple went to Pres
ton, MINI, to visit relatives and last
Monday took up their abode again
in Chicago, and on Wednesday even
ing late an officer was passing a
pawnshop at 397 Clark street, when
the proprietor called his attention to
fifty dollar bill a customer had
given him. The officer at once saw
that the money was worthless, and
Immediately arrested Freeland, who
was in the shop. Capt. Thomas l.
Porter, of the United States Secret
Service, was called and at once rec
ognized the prisoner as the man
wanted He went to Freeland's room
and took Mrs Freeland into custody.
She claimed that the bills they had
been passing we're fixed by another
party here in the east, after having
swindled the Freelands and being
threatened with arrest by Mrs. Free
land. This is undoubtedly true as
the officers are now looking for the
third party who resides at or near
Terra Alta. The couple are known
to have passed the bills on nearly
twenty prominent business firms in
that city. Among the baggage be
longing to the pair was found sever
al hundred dollars worth of articles,
evidently bought from pawn shops,
and presumably by means of fraud
ulent bills. However, none of the
bogus money could be found about
them.

Epidemic at Fairmont.

The experiences which Fairmont
is now having with typhoid fever is
said to be deplorable. The report
is that there are number OF cases
there which are extremely dangerous,
while the total number of cases is
about 60. Very little has been pub
lished regarding the matter, an effort
being made, probably, TO keep the
matter as quiet as possible. Those
who know say that the terrible dis
ease has fastened ON the town in the
nature of an epidemic. There had
been considerable amount of ty-
phoid here during the previous few
months, but the malady's RACES were
nothing to compare with what Fair
mont is now unfortunately enduring.

A Dry Robbery.

Saturday night thieves, who were
not afraid of spooks or spirits, /"
entered the cellar under DR.. Lazier's
drug store by digging away a por-
ton of the foundation, making an
entrance way big enough to throw a
horse in, but did not find very much
they were evidently looking for.
Several bottles of patent "tonic, :"
which might have an alcoholic ba-
sis and which is intended only for
light doses, were taken, but that was
about all. The cellar has quantities
of lamps, chimneys, glassware and
many articles not drugs which are
used in drug stores just the same
but these were perhaps not wanted
at least they were not taken. The
entrance was made from the rear
yard of the Clark building, and it is
noticed that the foundation wall is
very thin indeed. The hole was
pried out without very much labor.
There is no clew to the disappointed,
liquid hunting burglars. As it now
is the Joke is on the thieves.

BURGLARY AT ARsErrssiLIE.
$. A. Bnrker's store Entered by thieves
aad Goods aiis Money STOLEN.

S. A. Barker. who keeps 3 general
store at Arnettsville, is a loser by
thieves. His store was catered on
Friday night and S25 and a large
quantity Of goods stolen.
When Mr. Barker went to his store
early Saturday morning he discover
ed that considerable clothing, piece
goods, groceries, hats, shoes and
other articles were missing. He
went at once to the money drawer
and found that it also had been ri
fed He had sent money to deposit
in bank the day before fortunately,
SO that he estimates that this loss is
onl, about S25. He next discovered
that the fastenings to one of the
windows had been forced and that
the window had been left open. At
this time the real amount of the los
ses has not been ascertained. Strict
watch has been made for any one
living near who might possibly be
wearing stolen goods but so
far no clew to the burglar has
been obtained. No suspicious APP
pearing strangers had been noticed,
so the matter of who committed the
crime is mystery.

BURNED TO DEATH.
William Fluharty Burned TO Crisp
While Sitting in His Chair.
Fairnont Index


Last Wednesday evening William
Fluharty, an aged citizen of Man
nington district, was found at his
home on Llewellen Fork run dead,
his body having been burned to a
crisp. Tue exact cause of this I'M
fortunate affair will perhaps never
be known. Mr.. Fluharty was SO
years of age, and lived with his SOB,
Ellis, and young man by the
name of Warner. On Wednesday
Ellis was compelled to leave home,
and left the old gentleman alone at
the house, Warner being temporari-
ly absent. The old man was dressed
in his everyday clothing, but wore
a cap and a pair of gum boots. To
make an easy seat, parts Of comforts
and an oyercoat were used. Ellis
had gone few miles from home
when he met young Warner and told
him to go home as his father WAS
alone. While the old man was
alone some neighbors passed the
house and heard an unusual noise,
but did not stop to investigate it,
but proceeded to the house Of Elijah
Fluharty, who lives down the run.
Elijah went at once to see what was
the matter; before he reached the
house he met some men who were
hauling logs, who went into the
house and found Mr. Fluharty lying
on the floor with his head toward
the fire, his body burned very badly
from his ankles to his neck. The
injury was much worse about the
hips and bowels. He wore cap
which was not burned, nor was his
hair scorched. His gum boots were
burned completely down to the heel
and all other clothing entirely con.
sumed. The chair upon which he
was left sitting was burned in two,
and the clothing was about con.
sumed. Life was extinct when the
discovery was made Captain John
Fisher, the Coroner, was notified,
and on Thursday went to hold an
inquest over the remains. He i'm
paneled coroner's jury, who rem
dered the following verdict:
That the said William Fluharly
came to his death in his own house
being by himself, sitting in a chair
in helpless condition, on the 9Th
day OF November, 1898, by bis
rlotho c.t,bino era a,d hor,;.o

doubt the biggest game string made

order that there may be an increase
