A BIG HOLE IN HIS HEAD

1t was fearful accident which occurred
in Oakland yesterday, and it goes to prove
that carelessness is as dangerous as dissi.
patton indulgences, excesses and abuses.
A big hole in a mans head is sometimes
easily patched up provided the Individual
has been in good health and has not
abused himself or dissipated. There are
hundreds of men, however, who never can
recover because they have misused them
selves in a variety of ways in early life.
You cannot stay out all night, drink a
barrel of whisky and continue to abuse
yourself and retain your good health.
If you have INDUCED in any of these
forms of abuses the sure and speedy cure
is the great "HUDYAN" remedy treat
ment. "HUDYAN" cures nervous de-
bility, neurasthenia, melancholia and the
diseases and disabilities of man. "HUD-
YAM has been used as remedy treat
ment by the great doctors of the Hudson
Medical Institute for many, many years,
and has been so perfected now that it is
absolutely certain to cure. If you have
not read the testimonials about "HUD-
YAM or if you have not read the circu-
lars about "HUDYAN," write for them.

another negro named Partee. The wound,
though an ugly and cry painful one, is
not serious. The cut extends from the
crown of the head downward and under
the right ear to the cheek. 1t required
fourteen stitches to close it. 1t appears
that Partee had been too intimate with
Bridges wife, and tonight her husband
caught him in the yard at the rear of the

CAIRO SCORCHED.
A Big Fire in Richie Countys Pros
porous Town-.-Several Buildings
Burned--.But Little Insurance.

Special to the Register.
Cairo, w. Va, September Cairo
had not fully recovered from the excite
ment incident to the B. & o. wreck last
week, when one of the most destructive
fires ever known here swept over a por-
ton of the city and laid in waste much
valuable property. The loss is heavy
and the insurance light.
The fire originated in the Cairo Lum-
Der Companys planning mill, owned by
a local corporation and quite a preten-
tious affair, covering nearly an acre,
filled with modern machinery and a
large stock of goods.
The fire was discovered about II: 40
by guests of the Commercial Hotel,
which adjoins The big mill was soon
a roaring furnace and it was evident
that the town would suffer a great dis
aster. A telegram was sent to Parkers-
burg for aid and the citizens formed
bucket brigades. They worked for five
hours and it was through their deter
mined efforts that the entire town was
saved. They had the fire well under
control upon the arrival of the Parkers-
burg fire department at 1928.
The fire communicated with the Com
mercial Hotel. In this building was
also the plant of the Cairo Times. The
Oil Well Supply Company had their
Office in this building and their ware
room in the planning mill building.
The B. & o. depot was also in danger
of destruction. Three loaded freight
cars with their contents, were con-
sumed.
The sucker rod factory belonging to
Rev. E. T. Coyle, adjoining the plan
ing mill, was also consumed.
All the buildings above mentioned
were north of the railroad and it was
hoped to confine it to that side. but
the heat from the burning planning mill
was so intense that the fire spread to
the buildings on the south side.
The B. & 0. restaurant, owned by
w. T. Leech, of Parkersburg, was the
first to take fire and was DESTROYED.
The building owned by the Misses
Lavelle, Of Parkersburg, was also de-
stroyed. 1t was occupied by the Misses
Lavelle, who conducted a millinery
store, and ]. A. Tierney, as a drug
store.
A small frame residence belonging 10
H. S. Wilson and occupied by Mrs. Cal
vert was the last destroyed
The estimate of losses follows: Cairo
