seeing a good opening in Morgan

amounts to thousands of dollars ev-

UNLOADED GUN.

The shooting of Denny jenkins
which was mentioned some days ago is
another instance of the unloaded gun

hundreds of times and it had failed
to go off until it was pointed at some
one.
He had been engaged in swapping
it at the fire and floor and number
of things about the room. Some one
spoke to him about it and said that
the unloaded gun was very danger

FUNNY MIX UP.
Tucker county has some new nuts for
the lawyers to crack.

There is a terrible mix-up over the
county clerkship in Tucker county,
that is creating considerable stir
AROUND there. William M. Cayton,
Democrat was declared reelected two
years ago, by sixteen majority. M. G.
Hebb Republican asked for a recount
which the County Court refused.
Hebb took the matter to the Circuit
Court getting mandamus compelling
the County Court to make the re-
count. Cayton and the county court
then appealed to the Supreme court
and that court Saturday handed down
a decision sustaining the mandamus
requiring recount, but there can be
no recount as Clerk Clayton who has
held over in Office, burned the ballots
after one year, as required except In
contests. A recount has never been
styled contest, but there is expect
ed to be considerable trouble o yer the
matter. IT brings up several new
points on election law.

MEAT HOUSE ROBBED.
Mayor McGara, Of South Morgantown.
Loses all of his Meat.

Last night thieves entered Mr.. S.
McGara's meat house in South Nor
gantown and stole the last piece of
meat it contained. Mr.. McGara
butchered two fine hogs in the fall
and had just hung up the meat to
smoke it, The staple holding the lock
was drawn to obtain entrance A
short time ago marauders entered
the same place carrying away but
ter, eggs and whatever else they
could lay hands on. Mr.. McGara
we learn has clue to the thieves and
when a little more evidence is Sc
cured some very vigorous steps will
be taken to bring the thieves to jus
tice. In the meantime people who
have meat houses would do well to
keep their shot guns loaded and in
good working order.

Better than Ever.

SINNERS Tavern, the famous hos.
telry of Fairmont seems to grow even
more popular. 1t continues to be
the favorite place for not only trav-
cling men but for the general pub
lie. A few months ago an addition
was built adding number of guest
chambers, but these will soon be in
adequate aud another addition will
be required. 1t seems that hotel
men are born, not made, and the
genial proprietor, Mr. Williams, ID
that kind of man as are also his
assistants. The dining room service
is superb and the rooms cosy, neat
and home like. 1t is a wonderfully
popular place and deservedly SO.

A COINCIDENCE.
The officers after whom camps Conrad
and Wetherell were named.

Inc OlnceTs aItef WHOM camps COnfau
and Wetherell were named.
1t seems quite coincidence, said
Col. Simms, of the adjutant generals
office yesterday, that Camp Conrad,
where the First West Virginia regi-
ment is located at Augusta, Ga, and
Camp Wetherell, where the Second
West Virginia regiment is located at
Greenville, S. c., are both so named
after men who were sent here to in
struct the officers in the West Vir-
ginia National Guard, and both OF
whom lost their lives in the Santiago
campaign. Capt. Wetherell of the
Sixth United States Infantry, was de-
tailed by the war department to go to
Huntington in 1897 to instruct the
officers of the National Guard and did
so in a very efficient and commend
able manner, and Capt. Conrad of the
Eighth United States infantry was de
tailed to instruct the officers Of the
National Guard in Charleston in 1898.
These brave men went with their re-
spective regiments and fought in the
battle of Santiago, and both died
from wounds received in that battle.
OF course these camps did not receive
their names because of Captains Con-
rad and Wetherell having visited West
| Virginia, but the fact that they were
so named is an interesting coinci-
dence.

CHEF CLERK.
MonOngalia's Representative at the
Pen takes high rank at once.

Lieut.. Paul E. Clifford who has
been taken to Moundsville for a
four years sentence has been desig
mated as number COS. He has been
appointed as chief clerk of the
prison.
He was asked by tue warden as
to what he could do and he replied
that he could do almost anything.
The warden asked him if he could
keep books and he found that
Clifford was a graduate of business
college. The old clerk had served
his time out and vas released a few
days ago.
Clifford began his term in place
where there will not be so much
hard labor and where he can take
some pride in what he is doing.
