good prohibition brother; told you
that town would go down like

Martinsville better look out too. "
Ten minutes later we heard that
only part Of the town had been
wiped out. (This was a fact, but
very small part). Hope it isthe

lorn looking sister, but it wasn't
the gambling dens. Ten minutes
later we heard that both the depots
OF the Ohio River Railroad COM
pany had been burned with a large
amount of property, but that there
was no FIRE in the main city at all.
This was bad enough, but better,
and as it appeared that the saloons
and 'gamblin' dens' and the Column
bla Theatre were all safe, the sor-
row became universal.
People didn't seem to want the
Ohio River Rsilroad to lose ANY,
thing, nor anybody else for that
matter. Ten minutes later we
heard that the freight depot was
safe but that the handsome pas.
senger station was perfect wreck.
This came by phone and was
deemed reliable, but it wasn't. We
next heard that nothing but the
restaurant kitchen had been burned

CLEANED FROM CITY COURTS.
People who Seek Legal Adjustment q

In Justice Henderson's court to-
morrow the case OF w. J. Welsh
VS. A. c. Thomas will be tried,
This is suit in detiuue to recover
Tor a watch which complainant
pledged with defendant for a money
consideration of 81. so.
Welsh is an employee Of the Tri
State Gas company on their line
being laid through Wetzel county.
He recently became short Of funds
and in order to raise the wind de-
posted Waltham watch, valued
at $40, with the defendant, who adj
vanced $3.50 on the property, and
so Welsh alleges, agreed to retain
the same until it was redeemed.
But when the complainant became
more prosperous financially and
sought the redemption of his
timekeeper, it had been sod by the
defendant.
No one in this State is justified
in transacting the business of a
pawnbroker unless duly licensed,
and 1t is claimed that the DISPOSE
ton of the watch is an illegal en-
croachment upon the prerogatories
Of the three balls.
