Headquarters First Infantry,
West Virginia National Guard,
Fairmont, w. Va, Oct. 10.
DR.. G. r. Sherwood,
Kingwood, w. Va.
DEAR SIR:-Replying to yours of
the 18th inst. will say that there are
three vacancies in the First Infantry.
We only have nine companies and are
allowed twelve under the law. |
would like very much to have COM
pany at Kingwood, but up TO now the
adjutant general has refused to allow
me to muster in any more companies.
If he should grant me the permission
for another company | will let you
know.
Very truly yours,
C. L. SMITH.
In this manner the Kingwood Jour-
nal congratulates itself. A very cur
sorry inspection of the letter, however,
fails to show anything to get gay
over. Colonel Smith says that up un-
til now the adjutant general has re-
fused to muster in any new companies
although allowed to do so by law. The
reason for this is that there is no
money available to pay for their equip
ment. No money can be available
until after the meeting of the Legis-
ture. As the last legislature did not
even give enough toward an encamp-
ment, the next one will hardly waste
money putting in a company at King
wood. Even if it did, considerable
time must elapse before the company
could be mustered in. We regret that
Morgantown and Warrington know
full well that no more companies are
to be mustered in for some time at
least.

The second team scored another tie
at Brownsville in a very hot game.
Both sides got two touch downs and
each failed goal in the first half.
w. V. y. scored the first touch down
in thirty seconds on tumble by
Brownsville, Henderson, putting it
over. The boys are loud in their
praise of the treatment given them by
their hosts and when asked about the
game talk Of nothing but the hospital
ity shown them. Brownsville was
much heavier than the local boys who
played the faster ball. A return game
will be played here in a couple of
weeks when an excursion of about two
hundred people are expected up from
the down river town.

COLONEL C. L. SMITH, WRITES
As If KingwOod Might Get Military
Company After all.

DR.. Sherwood has received the let
ter following from Col. G. L. Smith,
of Fairmont, and it is possible that
Kingwood may get company after
all. The Morgantown New DoAIIN-
ION seemed to have settled the matter
in its own mind that we would not
get company here, but it is under
stood that Colonel Smith favors King
wood if he can be allowed to muster
in any more companies. Following is
the letter:

Tenants Against Land
lords in a Finish
Fight.
Property-Owners Decline to
Put Out Money for I'M
proven entS.
So Merchants of the Principal
Street Threaten 10 Move
Elsewhere.

LOS ANGELES CAL, Sept 23.-War
has been declared between the tenants
and landlords of the most important re-
tail business street in Los Angeles. The
former threaten to aoandon their present
locations and TO have the assessments OF
the property-owners raised in retaliation
for the latter's refusal TO repave the street
ana put in a new sewer.
Among the not remote possibilities is
the who esale removal of the leading mer-
chants from Spring street, along the en-
tire nine blocks from Temple 10 Ninth, to
some other thoroughfare, probably Broad
way, the next street toward the west.
The pavement on the thoroughiare men
toned is in a notoriously bad condition.
Recently the City Council passed an ordi-
nance OF inten tionfor its repavement and
another for the construction OF new
sewer. The property-owners formed a
protective association to resist these i'm
provements. They claim that such work
should be provided for out Of the general
tax fund, instead of the property
being specially assessed therefor.
According TO the city charter protest
filed by a certain percentage OF the prop
out of any such proposed improvements
for six months. A few minutes before the
City Hall doors were locked yesterday
protest, with the requisite number OF sig
natures, was filed against both the repay
ing and sewer proposition.
To-day Secretary Ieehandelaar of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Assocla-
ton conceived a scheme for forcing the
hands of the unwilling landlords. 1t was
communicated TO mum Der OF the leading
mem bers OF that progressive organization
and met with prompt ana general ap-
pTOval. Under the auspices OF the assO-
citation there is 10 be organized Tenants
Protective League OF the merchants on
thu main thorough iares with the object
Of making a united fight against the land
lords.
1T is proposed" said Secretary Zee
handelaar to-day, Ito fight the property
owners TO the end on these propositions,
our purpose being simply to secure better
streets or the city. We will try TO get an
agreement among the merchants on
Spring street that as s0on as their leases
expire they will move TO another thor
Oughfare.
w will secure an estimate OF the in
come OF every block in this town, and if
we can prove, as we will undoubtedly be
able TO do; that the value of property is
not estimated by the Assessor according
to the revenue derived therefrom we will
have the assessment increased, and there
by get enough money in the treasury to
make these necessary Improvements out
of the general tax levy"
1t is admitted that the action Of the pro-
posed Tenants Protective Association
will be in the spirit OF retaliation. 1t is
proposed TO conduct the campaign in the
same manner as was the one in Oakland
some years ago, which resulted in trans
ferring the retail center from Broadway to
Washington street, owing to the high
rents that prevailed on Broadway. A
preliminary meeting to effect the organ
ization will be he'd on Monday next.

attorney made the young man describe
his sleeping quarters. These were mag
nlhcent, equal to anv thing at the Palace
Hotel Bell admitted, and declared by
Fisher Ames to be equal to those of the
Prince of Wales. Visions ofgreat mirrors,
statuary, oil paintings. rich tapestry and
upholstery, and porcelain baths were un-
rolled for the benefit of the curious mob.
These, OF course, were a part of the young
mans own quarters, those formerly occu-
pied by his father. Those of the remainder
OF the family were, of course, not on such
grand scale, although he declared there
were just as big mirrors in Nanny
Pleasant's room as in his own, all of
which led the listeners to suspect the old
colored woman of the vanity that is a
part of the white portion OF her SEX
Bell, continuing said that since he had
left college in Atlanta five years ago he
had been mostly employed on the ranch
IN Sonoma County. hauling hay and such
like, or else devislng ways and means to
have his mother removed from the man
agement of the family possessions.
Some time in 1895 ne engaged in cattle
enterprise at his mothers expense, and
borrowed stock and some agricultural i'm
plements from the homestead to imp prove
a tract of land III the Santa Rosa Noun
tains. THIS was quite neat scheme, as
the evidence developed, although Bell de-
clared 1t was engineered and Planned by
Nanny Pleasant.
The cattle were purchased in the name
of a man named Hall, who was said to
have lots of money. for the purpose of de-
ceiving Mrs Bell, but who, the young man
declared, never existed, ard who went
into the tale as Myth; Hall.
Attorney Ames sought to prove that
Bell and Eaton had put the job up to-
gether, deceiving both the nesress and
her mistress. The scheme didn't pan out
very protitaby and the ranch property
was returned IN better condition, SO Bell
declared than when it had been "bor-
rowed."
Then you were improving your moth
er's property by perpetrating a fraud p
asked Ames.
The San Francisco call., 1897-09-24

1T was Mrs. Pleasant who planned the
fraud, said Bell.
And YOU only aided in the deception, :"
added Judge Coffey.
Bell was then asked to relate the his
tory of his school, going. 1t seemed that
he had quite a checkered career The
start was made in ST. Matthews Hall at
San Mateo, to be transferred in 4 few
months 10 st. Mays College in this City.
From this institution Ames sought to
have him admit that he mad run away
dozen times, only to be returned by
Nanny Pleasant.
He was next a pupil at st. Josepn's
Academy and left that under a cloud.
Attorney Ames asked him if it was not
true that he had been asked to leave be-
cause he had set ire to the institution.
Bell made a rambling denial, which wound
up with the remark that all boys are full
OF p-anks. He next spent term al the
Sacred Heart College in this city, followed
by term at st. Mary's College, Oakland.
He was then transferred TO Guthrie,
0. T., to the custody OF a woman teacher,
former friend of his father. He did not
rema long, saying that he and his
teacher could rot agree. A few days later
an attempt was made to burn the school
ana Bell found himself in Jail on charge
of arson. He declared that This charge
ad been trumped up against HIM by his
former teacher, but he would not deny
that it cost his father $4,000 to get him out
Of the scrape. He wound up his school
career at a military college in Atlanta, to
remain there until his fathers death.
From that time on he declared Nanny
Pleasant and his mother would not a.
low him to 60 to school.
The case will go on Monday morning.

Stalking OH Claim. Along the Rirer i,
the Cfty.


the Ctty.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. 23.-The
Los Angeles River for two miles of its
length through this city has been staked
out in mining claims, which were to-day
recorded. A mining company has been
organized to mine the sand and gravel of
the river for the gold there is i'll it, The
company is composed of ex-Councilman
B. Chandler, Mrs. A. Chandler, W. b.
Forsyth, Mrs. a. Forsyth and Joseph L.
0rvis. The mem bers of this company
claim that the river bed is mineral land
and is subject to the mining laws, the
city's ownership being confined to the
water alone. They propose to thoroughly
prospect the ground thus far staked out,
feeling sure that gold In sufficient guam
tity can be found to make working pront-
able by hydraulic process. Tney say that
tests already made on the surface have
shown So in gold TO a cubic yard of sand
and that the earth al bedrock must neces~
sarily be richer. Pros pecting for oil and
asphaltum deposits is also expected to
be profitable.
The news of the stalking OF claims in
the river has created considerable excite
ment IN the cItv and as result more
claims will be staked and recorded. Ex-
perts declare that with sufficient water
the sand o! the Los Angeles River can be
made 10 yield plenty OF gold. Placer
mining on a small scale is now being
practiced in some of the business streets
of this city. the product paying about

Captain S. Inukoyama of the Japanese
Navy is here on his way to England, as
special commissioner, to examine the
most approved method OF naval and ruer-
camille marine architecture. He arrived
on the City of Peking from Yokohama,
and is staying at the Palace.
When seen Wednesday night he was not
willing 10 discuss any subject but he de-
MED that there was any foundation for
the assertion in the evening paper that a
Japanese military force had recently been
landed in Honolulu. He declared that
about 200 migrants-coolies, many OF
them, women and children-had regularly
landed in Honolulu. With the exec ption
that they wore Japanese costumes they
were no odifferentfrom the japanese already
at work on the islands.
As to what naval construction Japan
may have in view he cautiously refused to

people were passing TO and fro on Main
street last night highway man held up a
man, pressing revolver to his victims
side and taking his money. The crowd
thought nothing of the matter. So
quietly was it done that those who did
take any notice OF the men thought thar
they were merely engaged in friendly con-
versation. Two women passed their
dresses brushing the robber and his sub
ject as they went their way.
The victim was G. L. Murray, a we'll
known hOrseman. He was returning
from the pavilion and was on his wav 10
the Sherman House, near the railway
station, when he was held up. The rob
berry occurred in front of the GEekow

Murray's side he was told by the Tobber
that his money was needed and to de-
liver It, oautioning him 10 make no re-
sistance or protest at the peril OF his life.
