STRANGER ROBBED.
Martin Birch, a Coal Miner. Relieved
Of His Cash at a Famous Suburban
Resort Early Yesterday Morning.
Other News From Justlcs Rogers
C0urs.

Martin Birch. a coal miner from
Pennington, w. Va, swore out three
warrants before Squire Rogers against
a well-known hack driver, John Beck
EFT, a colored man, who plays the
piano at different joints around town,
and Irene Rogers, LADY from the
alley, charging them with stealing s61
from him. The case was heard in the
county Jail and the evidence was as
follows: Birch arrived in town Friday
evening with all kinds of money" in
his clothes. AS he was looking for
gay time. he sought the gayeties of the
festive alley" and there fell in with
the aforesaid Miss Rogers. But the
couple finding the alley too dull to
suit their tastes. sought a more ex-
pensive entertainment So ordering
hack, they started to so the rounds,
first having invited Beckett to join
them, just to swell the party. After
doing the town they visited a famous
suburban resort east of the city, and
decided to put up for the night, or.
rather, the day, for it was s a. m.
by this time. After drinking freely,
Birch and the lady took a room. Irene
asked for IS to pay for the room and
get some breakfast with. and Birch
taking out his roll got out a S. bill and
handed it to Irene. She made an ex-
cuse to go down stairs and get her
breakfast, and while she was gone
Birch counted his money-S61 in bills
and some extra change-and placing il
in the inside pocket of his vest, hung
the vest on the bed post, and went to
sleep. Irene went down stairs and
tried to buy some snuff, remarking that
Birch had a roll and she wanted the
SNUFF to dope him with so that she
would sleep until evening. She was
unsuccessful, and going back UP stairs.
locked the door and went to bed. About
nine o'clock in the morning Birch woke
UP and noticed his clothes were not
where he had hung them, but were
on the floor Examining his vest he
found that the money was gone. He
went to the door and called the pro-
prietor. Looking out the door he saw
his wallet lying on the floor empty.
The proprietor, upon learning the state
of affairs, sent to town for the police
and Capt Bennett and Lieut.. Ingram
responded to the call and brought Miss
Irene to town. There was not suffl-
cient evidence to hold the hack driver
and Beckett, but Irene was committed
to Jail in default of $500 bond for her
appearance before the grand jury,
which convepes tomorrow. Prose
cutting Attorney Myers appeared for
the State and w. P. Robinson for the
defendants.

The Kick.OH in Foot Ball.

An enthusiast WHO sees all the big
games each year and makes study OF
the rules sends a suggestion to the New
York Sun which, he believes, should be
looked into BY the Rules Committee
He writes: The kickoff nowadays
really amounts to nothing. One team
receives the privilege Of kicking the ball
into opponents territory as a mode of
beginning a game, and the ball generally
is kicked back to the middle of the field,
where the elevens line up for he usual
scrilnmage. In this way no ground is
gained by the kicking.
My idea is to put premium on kick
offs. For instance, il the ball can be
kicked from a place in the middle OF the
field directly over the crossbar on the
goal posts it ought to count as one point.
In that waN much interest would be cen
tered in the kickoff, and considerable
skill would be developed. 1t is not an
easy matter to drive the ball over the bar
from the centre of the field, and payer
who shows ability to accomplish sucn
feat ought to be rewarded in snch way.
Teddy Edwards Wherea bouts.
Occasionally one hears remarks OF this
nalure: Where is Teddy Edwards? Sure
enough, this continuous century rider
since his breakdown seems to have drop
ped out OF sight Of the general public as
.uddenv as he appeared. Edwards
effort for the clialess wheel he rode
SAVIOR ID too much Of professionalism to
suit the general public.
In addition t" TINS thee were rumors
that he was not riding the full 100 miles
each day. Such an intination was made
tn one OF tie officers of the Records Com
miltee. and the latter was waiting for
Edwards to return to this section OF the
country to investigate. The sickness of
the rider put an end to his continuous
career, and prevented the Century Road
Club officer from following him in his
rides.
If it had been proven that Edwards
did less than he full 100 miles any one
day, the whole record for the year would
have been thrown out by the Century
| r md Club. Commercial .ldrer;iser.
