Slisfortunes of Aar. Howard.

Port Byron, Feb. 15.-Our fellow
townsman. j. H. Howard. seems to
be followed by misfortune. His
many friends remember the serious
injury he received something more
than year ago by q fall from q
building. One ankle has never re-
gained its proper strength, and prob.
ably never will. This morning while
Mr.. Howard was at the barn feeding
his stock. this ankle gave way,
causing him to fall with such force
that his lantern was broken, setting
fire to the dry fodder in which il
fell and instantly springipg into Q
blaze which could not be extin.
guished. Mr.. Howard succeeded in
getting his horse and cows out and
few tools. Everything else wal
burned. including his tool chest with
most Of his carpenter tools. The
loss is partially covered by insur.
ance.

The Other Man Gets Licking, ana
with the Woman Procures His Es-
Cane.

Last Thursday the quiet little vii
lase of Taylertown was treated TO Q
genuine sensation. The story is an
old one and always turns out the
same way. A story Of a woman's
weakness and the diaboIical art
of designing man A story full OF
shame speaking volumes of warning
to all.
Wesley Keener and wife had a
happy holne. But now the home is
broken up; the wife is gone; his
hopes shattered and his home turned
into a house of mourning. On re
turning home Thursday Wesley dis
covered Harry Smith in company
with his wife. Trouble began right
three and resort was made to a
rough and tumble scrap. Keener
proved an exception TO the proverb
Thrice is he armed that hath his
quarrel just" and was rapidly amass-
ing a licking when his son appeared
ON the scene.
LOUIS muscle was IN spienuiu con
dition. With a blow that almost
paralyzed Smith he turned the tide
of battle and in a few minutes
Smith was badly whipped man
A Miss Keener also helped matters
along by rapping the victim few
times with club.
As soon as possible Smith escaped
and has disappeared from the place
Mrs. Keener is also gone and the
impression is that she has gone
with her paramour. She was seen
in Point Marion where she took the
down river boat The parties are
all well known and the affair is
causing quite sensation Our sin
cerest sympathy is extended to the
wronged husband.

We were told last week that there
was already enough money appro-
priated by our paternal government
for the improvement of the Monon-
gahela river to give us slack water
up to this point II this be true, an
earnest effort should be made to
have such appropriation applied at
once to the construction of locks
and dams between this point and
Fairmont. Slaekwater is 'just the
thing to get our magnificent coal
deposits to market. The Baltimore
81 Ohio Railroad has long since de
monstrated it's inability to do so. If
there is any truth in the rumor that
such a fund is available for the pur-
pose indicated, some action should
be taken at once by those who would
like to see local business affairs in a
different situation. Suppose some
of you Chamber of Commerce men
write to Black Doyener, our Con
gresham and see what can be done.

This NAY Be News.

The county court of Monongalia
county has refused again to issue IL
cense for the sale Of intoxicants in
MoIgantown, Notwithstanding the
common council of the town granted
two licenses a few days ago. Monday
was begun the trial Of one hundred
indictments for Illegal retailing.
These indictments were all presented
by the grand jury last week, and in
addition there are large number of
postponed cases on the docket. The
trials are made sensational because of
the fact that the prosecuting attorney
has nearly all the best citizens of the
town summoned to testify against
the alleged violators. 1t has develop
ed that many of the indictments were
found upon the evidence OF two detee-
tives from Pittsburg, who had been
employed by the prosecuting attorney.
