robbery.

The town seems to be badly in
debt. There has been but small
sum of money collected this year
for fines, yet we have had open sa-
looms the year around. Its time the
people were taking some interest in
municipal affairs and men elected
that will try and improve on the
present administration. The cleo
ton is not far off now and the peo-
pie should take an active interest in
this matter and try and elect officers
who can give more time to the cities
affairs and who will try and get us
out of debt again. Many mistakes
have been made in our
Judgment and things should
Sbe changed before we are
entirely bankrupt. Think over the
3situation carefully, and see if we
cannot make an improvement next
year. We know it is a thankless
Job, but, nevertheless, it is serious
matter, and none should refuse to
serve if elected. There must either
be change or the town will be
practically bankrupted. We blame
ho one, but the facts are we are
terribly in debt, the credit of the
own is very low, and some one is
blame. Let that be as it may,
low is the time to try and find a
medy.

little talking ana Wnole loI u
work. For some time past he has
been at work trying to unearth the
headquarters of Scotty Myers, who
was sentenced to the penitentiary
from Marietta a few days ago, also
Chas. Livingston, who was captured
with Myers. He has discovered
what would seem to be the head
quarters of a notorious gang, and
it has since been proven to have
been the home Myers and Living
ston, and they were accessories
of "Ten-fngered Jack" George
Black, alias Geo. Hoofer, who was
sentenced few days since from ST.
Marys for looting the 0. R. r. K.
depot and express Office at Raven
Rock.
Their headquarters where all the
petty thefts of this and other neigh
boring towns were planned and
where the plans were laid for catch
ing the unsuspecting farmers and
at the points of guns were made to
give up the earnings that years of
hard labor accumulated, was found
to be only modest little shanty
boat just below Friendly.
The public never suspected that
such a gang existed. Black was
supposed to be a trader and not the
slightest suspicion ever pointed to-
ward him as harboring and being
himself one of the most notorious
thieves of the Ohio valley. During
the summer he traded off a shot
gun. After some time Dan Pollen
happened to see it and identified it
as his property, which had been
stolen from his store in Darlington,
Ohio, together with some other
goods. Black was arrested shortly
afterward and was held by the
Peasants county authorities to
answer the charge of looting the
station at Raven Rock, they having
discovered things that established
his probable guilt.
Hew was tried and convicted OF
the charge and sentenced to three
years IN the state prison.
Bit by bit evidence has been
gathered until it has been estab-
lished beyond question of a doubt
that Myers and Livingston were
his associates. There is no longer
a doubt in the mind of Detective
Mehen, but they composed the
gang that committed the atrocities
in this section about year ago. 1t
appears in every case where some
defenseless old people were relieved
of their money, it was done by
three men. On Wilson run where
the old people were burned, it was
done by three men.
About two miles beyond the city
in this county, three men robbed a
widow lady, two of them holding
her sons at bay with guns until
they were tied. There has been no
one molested since Myers was run
down, and that of itself would lead
one to believe that it was the same
gang.
Detective Mehen has been shad-
owing the boat for the past week in
the hope of still finding some one
else implicated. His watch was
not rewarded and it seems the boat
has been deserted. This morning
before leaving the place he decided
to investigate and see what might
vet be left. A search was instituted
and twenty skeleton keys were
found. Enough, said Mr.. Mehen,
to unlock every business house in
Sistersville. Carpenters, coopers'
tools, blocks and various other
things were found that had evil
IDENTIFY been stolen. The goods
r,,L;ob fbic Oopn cto1a were sent
