His NAME DISGRACBD
BY the Accusation Of Murder
Brought Against Him.
HE is EXoNERATED
By the Result of a Port M ortem
Examination.

Another good mans name has
been placed in the crucible ofnews-
paper notoriety, ard it will be
many years before the odium, which
has attached to him, is dissipated.
Saturday morning a Wheeling
paper came out with a horrible tale
of cruelty and murder, which had
been waited to its columns by the
sensational correspondent at New
Martinsville. Nearly all the papers
throughout this section saw at once
that they had good thing, and
the report was nursed and embel-
lished until with each successive
day it's perusal was all that a NOR
bid taste could desire.
The Review made inquiries into
the report at once and was con-
viuced of its fimsy nature at the
outset. Subsequent Developments
have proven that we were correct
in Our premise.
The facts briefly stated are these:
The young daughter of Samuel
Harrison, prominent Wetzel
county farmer, died rather sudden
ly, and several of the neighbors
with that rapidity o: decision which
preludes the exercise of good judg-
ment, started the ball of ioul play
rolling uutil it gathered all the
gruesome details which usually at
tend such reports.
Harrison was accused of having
murdered the child and of having
broken the little ones back before
the final atrocity. All the inhum-
an usages which could be conjured
were made to fit the case, and the
torture of the old inquisition was
not marker in comparison.
a From apparently authentic
sources we learn that there IS not
semblance of truth in the accuse,
ton against Mr.. Harrison, and we
understand he will vindicate him
self by airing the matter in court.
Prosecuting Attorney E. L Robin.
son and DR.. J. D. Schmled, of New
Martinsville, and DR.. Stone, of Pine
Grove, held post mortem examl-
nation Saturday, with the result OF
establishing Harrison's innocence.

Wild LANDS
That are Now in the Heart
of
THE OIL FIELDS
Recovered After Many Years of
Legislation.

KlCnmOnc, va, DeCemDeI OBJ.
w. w. Parker, the Oldest practic-
! Ing physician in this city, has sud.
denly become a wealthy man. He
is about SO years of age. The doc
ton Is former president of the
Medical Society, of Virginia. He Is
a philanthropist, and has given
away all he has ever made. In his
old age he is very poor man.
The Court of Appeals of West
Virginia has decided that he Is the
,, owner of 1000 acres of land in
Wetzel county, on which the
Standard Oil company has "a of
their most valuable wells. The
suit of long standing was decided
last week. DR.. Parker's father
half century ago was Register Of
the Land Office for Virginia. and at
that time the Commonwealth in
cluded what is now West Virginia,
in its borders. DR.. Parker, then q
young man, was clerk in his fathers
office, and one of his duties in
volved the issuing of warrants for
what were known as wild lands. In
the legislature at that time was ].
w. Honor, who represented the ~
Ter District, He. realizing that the
wild" lands might at some time
become valuable, made a PROPOSE
tion to young Parker to lay claim
to it. Warrants were accordingly
made out for about 5000 acres of
land, and third party, Rev. Mr..
Lauck, Methodist preacher, was
admitted to partnership, and the
land was surveyed and warranted
in the land Office at Richmond as
the joint property of the three.
When the war came on Dr.. Parker
and Horror went to the front, but
DR.. Parker continued to pay taxes
on the land, though after the sur
render no record of his payments
could be found. The property was
then advertised and sold and Lauck
through the agency of a third par
/ y. bought it in for he taxes. DR..
Parker then produced his tax
receipts and also laid claim
to the property, but In SOME man.
ner he was dispossessed. Time
rolled on and the oil was discovered
on the land, and its value increased.
Lauck sold a considerable portion
of it for $4,000. He died and left
the LOO acres as legacy to his
son, and it is this tract which DR..
Parker has now secured. The
land in question is said to yield the
Standard Oil company about $50
900 per year.
Robt. c. McEldowney, of New
Martinsville, w. Va, was the at
torney for Parker who carried the
case successfully through the courts
of w. Va. and won his case in the
Supreme court of this State.
