Chief of Police Arrested.

Parkersburg, W. Va, April 6.-The
chief OF police OF the city of Parkers-
burg was placed under arrest this
morning. 1t was a new experience for
Capt. Heaton, and if appearances
serve as judgment he enjoyed it
hugely. Constable Carter served the
warrant, which was issued by Squire
Kirk, and the chiefs personal recog-
nizance was taken for his appearance
in Squire Kinks court on the South
Side tomorrow morning at o'clock.
The charge against the chief is as
sault The warrant was sworn out by
Hen Fowler, VINO makes a variety of
allegations of personal violence at
Heaton's hands.
Yesterday evening Fowler appeared
in police headquarters. He was very
abusive to Capt. Heaton. He cursed
him and called him all sorts of names.
Heaton took 1t all for time. Fowler
got louder and louder and the tongue
lashing he gave the chief was awful.
Heaton finally took him by the arm
and led him out. The placing of his
hand ON Fowler is the construction of
assault, perhaps, though the warrant
further alleges that Heaton kicked
Fowler
Fowler was at one time an extra po-
liceman for few days. His services
were dispensed with and since that
time he has acted sore and has taken
several opportunities to curse the
chief.

YESTERDAYS MARKET.

The United States Oil Co. have two
wells drilling on the West Virginia
side opposite the head of the island
which are expected in within a few
days. They have also two more To-
cations on the Davis and Busch farms

that everything was voted dry" last

ness. The roads have begun to dry up
somewhat, but they are not yet fit to
be called roads. The streets of the
town were actually so deep with mud
that horses fioundering along would
sink UP to their bodies and frequently
fall and have to be pulled out by other
teams. The center of the oil pool
seems to he exactly under the most
thiclIly settled part of the town and it
is not an uncommon sight where there
is narrow lot with residence on it
to see a derrick towering skyward
back of the house and $50 barrel

John Henry NARROW, colored, was in
dicted yesterday by the grand jury in
Criminal Court, No l, on charge of
grave robblng. He was arrested on July
last, for alleged crimes committed in
the spring of 1896, and steps We're imme-
diately taken to bring him to trial.
Early in March 1896. several daring
grave robberies were reported to the au-
thorities. The records at Police Head
quarters show that the Adams Express
Company reported two boxes, marked for
outside points. held at their offices on sus-
picion of containing dead bodies An IN
vestigation by Detective Muller, of head
quarters, and Sergeant Daley. who was
then attached to the First precinct sta
ton, proved the correctness of the suspi-
cion. Upon opening the boxes on the fol-
lowing morning, the discovery was made
that the bodies of two white men, who
had died a few weeks prior to the inves-
tigation, we're about to be shipped from
the city According to the records at head
quarters, they were the remains OF John
Williams and Samuel Quarles, and had
been taken from graves at local ceme-
terry. After examination the bodies were
removed from the morgue and again
buried
The police began an exhaustive inves-
tigation, and many policemen were de-
tailed in citizens clothes on beats ada
cent to outlying cemeteries. Detective Mul-
Ter, and Sergeants Daley and Carter pur-
sued numerous clews, and finally succeeded
in duplicating George NARROW his son.
Henry, and another man named John
Jones, in the robberies. The elder Mar
low and Jones were caught by Detective
Muller and Sergeant Daley. They were
captured in the First ward, and after a
long legal fight extending over several
months. were convicted and sentenced 20
a term Of two years in the penitentiary
each. Several months ago, George NARROW,
having served his term in prison, returned
to this city where he is now living.
When his father and Jones were arrested
in 1896 John Henry NARROW, having learned
the intentions of the police, made his es-
cape Young NARROW went to Baltimore
and then made his way West, and was not
heard from until early in July of the pres
ent year. when he returned here. He went
TO the home of his parents in the suburbs,
and for nearly week his presence in the
city was unknown to the police.
Then word was received at headquarters
that he had arrived and he was arrested
on July and confined in Jail after a pre-
lIminary hearing in court. The case OF
young NARROW was presented to the grand
Jury during September but went over,
owing TO the difficulty in locating certain
important witnesses for the Government.
Yesterday an Indictment was returned
against him and he viii be held in Jail
pending a trial OF his case.
