DRIVEN TO TOWN BY HUNGER.
Wild Birds md Animals Of West Vir-
Hinln Seek Food,

\ peculiar feature of the recent
drought is the fact that it drove hun
dreds OF wild birds and small animals
from the forests into the cities and
towns in every section of West Virginia.
Parkersburg was almost as thickly pop
ulated with quail as an English pre-
serve, and their shrill piping as they
rose with a whirr from hundred lawns
in the early morning ceases to be a
novelty.
The reason for this is supposed to be
the scarcity of food in their accustomed
haunts, which forced them to go into
the towns upon foraging expeditions.
\ town on the line Of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad between Petersburg
and Grafton has lad far less desirable
visitors, it being literally infested with
skunks. All efforts to rid the town of
the pests have failed, and the in
habitants are greatly worried over the
outlook for the winter. In the noun
tains of Tucker and the BLACK Forest"
of Randolph counties the larger animals
are invading the towns, hardly night

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
>Scrofulous Humors How euro
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

Police Officers Landmyer and Trout
vein, whose duties require them to
look after the interests of life and
property in the North End, had little
Halloween celebration just after they
went on duty last night. 1t wasn't a
"taffy-pullin' or corn poppin', y
but good old-fashioned 'scrappin'
match" Marquis of Queensberry rules
were ignored. and the contestants
seemed to prefer the naked fists, to
scrappers. AS a result of their merry
making, there will be two vacancies
on the police force to-day.
What events led up to the declara-
ton of hostilities, could not be learned.
There was main(e) incident, but one
of the belligerent parties who talked
to a Register reporter declined TO dis
cuss this phase of the matter In any
event the pair of blue-coated guardi-
ans of the peace walked up Market
street together, after reporting for
duty at headquarters. There were
threats and counter threats en- route,
heard by pedestrians, but the first gun
was fired at the intersection of Market
street and alley 5. There is an uncer-
tainty about which side it came from,
but it was not a minute later when
there was a very lively mix-up.
A crowd quickly assembled to watch
the battle. But for the fact that the
male spectators were uncertain about
their legal right to arrest police Off
GERS, somebody might have interfered.
The bout was conducted in reclining
posture. Landmyer was handicapped.
He was on the bottom. lying face
downward about half the time. There
was lively exchange of right and left
labs, short-arm punches. uppereuts,
and many blows not described in any
hand book of the manly art.
During most of the time, Troutwein
was puncher, and Landmyer was play
ing the very unsatisfactory role OF
punchee, but he was game-game 70
the core. Better give it to me While
YOU can" he remarked in stage
whisper, "for I'll attend to your case

plead for it-a simple request was
enough He got it.
Hostilities finally ceased under nag
CT truce. and the combatants decided
to reopen hostilities in more Sc
Guided spot. Accordingly, they walked
down the alley to its intersection Win

warning factions squatted on pair OF
"dornicks." and talked it over. Mean
while a telephone message to head
