A VERY SAD CAsE.-Five years
ago Miss Annie Offner, of Romney,
was the most beautiful and accom-
plished young woman in the county,
and was universally admired. She
was an accomplished horsewoman,
and one of her greatest pleasures
was to ride horseback along the old
Virginia pike. One dav she was gal
Looping along the road, when man
stepped from the bushes at the road
side and stopped her horse. He then
made an insulting proposal to her,
and dragged her from the saddle.
Miss Offner carried a revolver, and
drawing it, shot the fend through
the heart, killing him instantly. She
was formally arrested, and tried for
murder, but was acquitted on the
ground of self defense, though her
own testimony was all the jury heard.
The killing of her assailant, and
the murder trial were severe strains
upon her, and she was laid up with
nervous prostration. Finally she be-
came stronger, and later she married
j. c. Neff, and went to Marylsnd to
live with him. Later, she showed
signs of insanity, and would wander
away from home. This kept up till
Monday last, when she was found in
an old shanty in the outskirts of
Cumberland, where she had for COM
panioDs several very rough men.
She seemed entirely unable to COM
prehsnd her situation or the disgust
ing plight she was in. She told the
officer she was at the mercy of the
men who had her, that she was
friendless and homeless, and unable
to care for herself. She is still quite
handsome, and has the glare OF in
sanity in her eyes. She was taken
charge of by the authorities, and will
be cared for. :

DARKEsYILLE VS.. GERARpsroM

DARKEsvILLE VS.. GERARDsTowN.-
There was quite an interesting match
game of town ball played at Inwood
on Saturday, Jan. 9th, between the
Darkesville boys and the Gsrards-
town boys, there being quite num-
be- of spectators present. The
judges decided it a draw. The same
boys met again fer the second time
at Gerardstown, on Saturday, Feb.
8. to play off the draw. The boys
of the last place mentioned being 80
sure of victory they engaged the
cornet band of that place to escort
them home in the evening. But alas,
when the judges and time keepers
produced their papers and gave the
Darkesville boys Is home runs and
one clear town, and Gerardstown
nothing but skunk, then it was that
the band boys went fishing. And
instead of being escorted in by the
band to their quiet little town,
they were escorted by the Darkes-
vile band and the boys sing
ing loudly and distinctly victory
victory, and their banners waving
high over their heads.
