PROBABLY A MURDER.
Row At Wedding-A Father Shot an,
Probably Fatally Wounded by His
Son.
Grafton Sentinel,

Warren Male, who teaches the
colored school near the county line,
on the Valley river, about eight
miles above this place, shot his ia
Their on last Thursday niyht and
seriously. if not fatally injured him
A daughter of the wounded man, 9
sister of the man who did the shoot
ing, was married Thursday after
noon, and that night number OF
young men came to serenade the
newly married couple and Warren
Male, who did the shooting, was
among them, although he had re
fused to be present at the wedding
as guest, although invited by both
his sister, the bride. and his father
About midnight the serenaders be-
gan a terrible row. They also in
formed the father and owner of the
house, that they intended to take
all his chickens and other fowls
The mob not only began to take the
fowls but set fire to large pile Of
fire wood that was piled up near an
out house and close to the dwell
ing house, and in short time il
looked as though the house and all
would be burned. When the owner
demonstrated, his son, Warren Male
at once attacked him, firing three
times, the last shot striking his ia
Their in the groin and made horrible
wound that will in all probability
prove fatal. The man who did the
shooting went coolly away with the
others and is still at large. Before
he shot at his father he told him he
intended to kill him and told some
of his small children who were near
him to stand out of the way

Patrons of Lotteries viii Be PrOseeu.
ted.

A reliable correspondent from
Washington sends this: By direc-
ton of the Postmaster General,
Fourth Assistant Maxwell will soon
issue instructions to all postoffice
inspectors to prosecute patrons of
lottery companies. 1t will be i'm
possible, of course, to prosecute all,
but it is expected that the prosecu
ton of some of them will suppress
the practice to some extant.
Assistant Attorney General Thorn
as said-"The man who patronizes
lottery is just as guilty as are the
operators. They are using the mails
for lottery purposes and therefore
subject themselves to the prescribed
punishment. Accordingly all our in
spectors will be instructed to make
cases against them. There is gen
eral impression that those who pat
ronize the concerns are not guilty,
but this is erroneous. The appreci-
alton by these people that they are
evading the lottery law in this way
might go far toward suppressing lot
teries."

Development Coming This WAY.

The following from the Union.
town Standard indicates that the
coal development is coming this
way:
Mccormick, Echard & Co. on
Tuesday completed the deal for the
George Baker coal in Springhill
towns lip which was reported few
days ago to have been sold to the B.
u 0. company. The statement was
incorrect, but some of the purchas-
ers are indirectly connected with
the B. & o. which is responsible for
the error The Baker tract is of the
Connellsville coking coal and fronts
both on the State Line branch oil
the b. d o. and on Cheat river.
There are 70 acres in the farm and
the purchasers paid $1S7 per acre.
The coal is all self draining and can
be mined without shafting The
company will begin preparations for
mining at once and expect to be
shipping coal by March l. The coal
will be used to supply the engines

To Increase its CAPACITY .

There was an important meeting
of the Directors of the South Nor.
gantown Planning mills company at
which committee armed with GER
tain executive powers was appointed
The company has received a propo-
sition for the purchase Of the plant
The men who want to buy say it is
their desire to increase the plant by
large additions of machinery, thus
increasing its output. This com.
mittee is now empowered to sell the
plant, and if they do not sell it te
make arrangements for increasing
the capital stock of the company, sc
that if sale is not made the pres
ent owners may make the same addi-
tions to the plant that are contem-
plated by the prospective purchasers
In any event, therefore, the planning
mills will be made larger and great

Warded OFF Indictment

Spencer Collins is the prosecuting
attorney for Gilmer county. The
grand jury is sitting now. Serious
charges involving Collins and a
prominent married woman of Glen
vile were before the jury. Collins
got tip that the jury was about to
return an Indictment in the matter.
He forced his way into the jury room
recalled the witnesses, actually tried
the case before the grand jury, and
finally, as alleged, by menaces and
intimidation, prevented the return
of a true bill.
When Judge Armstrong learned
of what he was doing he went to the
jury room, ordered Collins out and
denounced both him and the grand
jurors, separately and collectively.
1t is stated that another grand jury
will be impanelled, and the bitter
feelings growing out of it is expected
to develop serious trouble between
individuals.

A Pcriurer to be Prosecuted.

John Dean is in Jail on an indict-
ment found by the Grand Jury for
having committed the quite frequent
but rarely prosecuted crime of per-
jury. The records show that the
perjury was committed in a felony
case, which constitutes his violation
felony. or crime punishable by
confinement in the penitentiary.
The records of the Grand Jury
which sat last June show that John
Dean made several statements, upon
which an indictment was found
against another man. Members of
that Grand Jury were before the re-
cent body of the same kind and tes-
titled that the record was correct.
The stenographic notes of the case
as tried at the October term show
that John Dean swore to entirely
different, conflicting and contradict
DRY stories before the court that he
had before the Grand Jury. The
stenographer swears that the notes
are correct All this being true
John Dean is guilty of perjury and
there seems to he no loophole where
he can clear himself when the case
comes to trial.
The case will come up in due
time. The evidence as noted above
will be introduced. 1t is positive
evidence. 1t will serve as an exam
Pile to anyone who ever meditated
swearing falsely. There is but little
doubt that perjury often occurs. II
Dean is convicted would it not serve
to make the slippery, elusive and
evasive witness more careful?

More Business Houses.

There surely must be demand
for more business houses here. AT
any rate two more, from the several
to be built already reported, have
decided upon and contract given for
the work, awarded to Huston & De-
main. A few evenings ago the build
ing committee of the Directors of the
Second National Bank recommended
making storerooms of the first
floor Of the Laura Pickenpaugh
house. The recommendation was
approved. That building, therefore
will be put on foundation which
will make the floors two feet lower
than they were formerly, which adds
just that much to their height. The
building is to be added to in the
rear by an extension which will
make the rooms 60 feet deep. The
hallway and entrance will then be
enlarged and arranged to lead to Of
fee rooms on the second floor. The
work on these improvements has
already begun. The large number
of additions to the list of business
houses here ia q healthy sign

THERE is no power ON earth that
can keep the county court from max
ing levies to pay off court house or
ders, and therefore there is no need
for anybody to get excited about the
matter of the court house debt. The
court house cost $4,000 1t was
built at an actual loss to the con-
tractor. The building could not be
put up again for 100000. Men
who know say so. There have been
$4,000 already appropriated to paw
off these orders. In June $40 00C
more of a levy will be made on these
orders, leaving balance of $22, 600
If the worst comes to the worst an
other additional levy could be made
to pay off the whole thing, if certain
false notions make certain ones want
to pay their share of the debt all at
one time. Every dollar of those or
ders will be paid.
