GROWTH OF OUR CITY.
Pennsylvania Capital Largely in Evidence
in Marietta.

in Marietta.
realize the amount of capital expended
by the producers and capitalists of
Pennsylvania, in this immediate neigh
borhood. Thousands of dollars in rem
tails are being paid out to the farmers
throughout the districts, not to speak
of the vast amount of money being ex-
pended in the actual pursuit of drilling
for oil
But paramount to the citizens of
Marietta is the capital being invested
in her city.
The Leidecker Tool Company, head
ed by good, conservative business men,
have brought that industrious plant to
a standing second to none in the en-
tire oil country. Their genial and ac-
commodating manager and president,
L. D. Shrlock, backed by that cool and
level headed capitalist, j. j. Leidecker,
would be an assurance of success in
any business. They have in connec-
tion with the Marietta plant a shop in
the Ogden field, where they are pre-
pared to do such work as may be de-
manded in that field. We feel that
much credit is due this energetic com
pany for the energy they have display
ed in this particular and very impor-
tant industry.
Second, but not least, is the NAM
moth boiler and iron works now rapid
ly nearing completion. An industry
of which any city or community may
well be proud. These large shops, con-
tanning, as they will when completed,
all the modern improved machinery
known to this industry, will be able to
compete with any establishment of the
kind in the United States. The Hughes
Bros, whose names alone are sufficient
guarantee of success, are at the head
of this firm. Their mechanical skill
in this particular branch of business is
we'll known throughout the entire oil
country, as the citizens of Buffalo, n
Y, Franklin and Butler, Pa, are will
ing to attest. They have associated
with them, by virtue of their industry
and skill. some of the best business
men of Western Pennsylvania. That
their enterprise will be success is a
foregone conclusion. Nc

Alumni Dinner.

The annual dinner given to the alum
nj of Marietta College has for years
been an institution of Commencement
season. The dinner yesterday was no
less one than were the many sump-
tuous ones that have smiled on the ex-
pansiye board before.
A. D. Follett, Glass of '76, was toast
master of the occasion, and with his
customary grace he proved happy and
competent manager in dispensing the
feast of reason and flow of soul -
DR.. Simpson was the first gentleman
called upon for responses and dwelt
with emphasis upon the general all
round physical development of young
men for grand, broad-gauge result-a
complete man, He spoke some strong
words in favor of new gymnasium.
DR.. John Cotton, Class of 49, the first
class graduated from Marietta College,
called up some early "reminiscences of
his college days.
DR.. Charles Little, class of '67, spoke
in humorous vein, which promoted
hearty good fellowship.
Rev. Horace Porter, 'S6, was the next
speaker. He waxed eloquent as he re-
ferred to the old college her works and
her men.
Not a small addition to the enjoy
ment of the occasion was the splendid
singing of the Glee Club.

The First of the Two Games With the
Athens County Boys Won Easily.
The game at the Athletic Grounds
Wednesday afternoon was the first
played by the new Marietta team and
was well attended. Errors were plen-
tiful and the umpiring little off color
on balls and strikes, though the game
as whole was a good one and the
questionable decisions of Umpire Mira
ben favored one team as much as an
other.
Marietta opened at the bat and
Seamon started things by left field
fly which was muffed by Scott. The
inning netted Marietta three runs, the
Jacksonville boys failing to score. In
the second inning Marietta added six
runs and Nelsonville brought
one man over the plate. From that
point the game improved in quality,
and at the end of the ninth inning the
score stood 10 to in favor of the local
team. Following is the score by in
nings:

Gregg were having trouble over Mrs.

saulted Gregg with an umbrella. In
attempting to disarm her, Gregg broke
the umbrella, and a sciimmage re.
suited. Mrs. Dalzell continued the as.
sault, and. in protecting himself,
Gregg used considerable force. Just
at that time Ivanhoe appeared, and
seeing, as he supposed, man assault.
ing woman, took shot at the man.
The first time he missed, but the sec.
ond shot struck Gregg in the jaw, in.
fiicting severe wound. The bullet
was recovered by physicians this after.
noon. Unless blood. poisoning sets in,
no serious results are spprehended.

quire wealth enough for all practical

were received from Enterprise today.
A few days ago two men, George
and Henry Smith, passed through the
Imnaha with band Of horses, sup.
posed to have been stolen, and camped
on Corrall creek. A day or so after
ward Warrant was issued for their
arrest 1t was feared they would re-
sist, and five men were sent out to
bring them in. The camp was easily
located, and Henry Smith was found
in 1t and captured by strategy. -Four
officers went to the camp, leaving a
fifth in charge of the horses. The
officers carried no arms in sight, and
the horsethief did not suspect them,
30 that when they asked to see his pis.
tol, he passed it over for inspection.
The pistol was then turned on him,
and be was compelled to hold up his
hands. He was then taken away from
tho camp and left in charge Of an
officer.
Two Of the officers started out to find
the other brother, and one was left 20
watch the camp. George Smith re-
turned to tf', camp and got the drop"
ON the officer. and held him up. He
suspected that something was wrong,
and proceeded to march the officer up
the trail. After proceeding short dis
tance, he met the two officers who were
looking for him. The officers opened
fire. which was returned by Smith, but
none of the shots took effect The off,
GERS then took refuge b:hind trees, and
Smith fred four shots at them, three
Of which hit the trees. The deputy
that Smith had a prisoner. fell to the
ground as soon as the firing began, to
escape the stray bullets.
The shooting cooled the ardor OF the
officers somewhat. and they turned
their efforts toward keeping the trees
between themselves and the horsethief.
While the horsethief was trying to get
another shot at the men behind the
trees, the officer that had been left
with the horses came up and shot the
horsethief in the head with q shotgun.
He had heard the firing and came up
just in time to relieve his brother Off
