perintendent are located at that point.
Mr.. G. B. Fleming is back from Col
orado, having returned on Wednesday
morning. Mr.. Fleming has been
seeking gold in that rich state and we
hope he has been successful to high
degree. He is looking hale and hearty
as of yore.
DIR. J. G. Jolliffe wrote us from
Muncie, Indiana, few days ago that
he and his son French were going tc
start to the gold fields of the Klon-
dyke, and from another source we
learn that they are now on their way.
Mrs. Joliffe and little son Carl will
stay at Muncie with Mrs Hattie
Hamilton during their absence The
doctor said he would pay his subscrip
tion to the West Virginian in the
future with gold nuggets. We hope
he may find them in great abundance.

A NUMBER of residents of Grant
and Lincoln districts are having the
mad dog excitement, not much to
their delight Last week mad dog
started through Lincoln and he took
the road and kept it until finally kill
led. Another mad dog got among
the sheep belonging to Deputy Sheriff
George W. MILAN, and he had to kill
over twenty Of them. Not very long
ago a mad dog got among the cattle
of Hon. Robert Lowe, and bit one
of his fine steers. The animal did
not show any signs of poison until
some time after. He had to separate
the steer from the others, and finally
had to kill it. There has been con-
siderable excitement over the mad
dog in other parts of the country, but
as far as we have been able to learn
these instances are the worst.-Fair-

all agree in one thing and that was
that the Baltimore on which he was

the battle. There has not been any
definite information as to whether OF
not he was hurt in the battle but nc
news is good news so we can rest sat

more disastrous than it did
