They have a peculiar method, all
their own, in Fairmont of making
that sleepy town lively. The Free
Press says: Last Monday night Har-
ry Watkins, while in the saloon at
the Skinner House, and somewhat
under the influence of liquor, shot
Tom Blair in the right foot, the ball
entering the instep and passing I'M
der and up on the outside, near the
ankle joint. From the evidence of
one who saw the affair it is evident
that Harry did not intend to shoot
Blair, but merely to make things
lively. Watkins was lodged in jail
but was released the next day.

young ladies presented the band
with an elegant cake which was

manned take their enjoyment in hear
ing the others tell how good the cake
tasted, but vow they will get even
when the opportunity presents itself.
