REFUSED 70 COME

Chief Of Police CIemans returned yes
terday from Wellsville. o.. where Paddy
Patterson is detained on the charge Of
stealing harnes from Luke's livery
stable. Patterson refused to come to
Wheeling without a requisition. and
Clemans was compelled to return with
out his prisoner. A coat in his valise
belonging to Mr.. Luke. was tell-tale
evidence against him. Patterson has
served time in prison and jails. and Is
tough character. He was before
Judge Hugus on charge of theft, and
was dealt with leniently, and it is this
fact which causes him to insist upon
requisition papers, as he realizes that
he will have to face the same Judge
again.

The three cornered contest in the
township over the Democratic nomina-
ton for land appraiser was won by
Robt l. Alexander, of Neff's. The
vote stood, Alexander 70, Meyers %,
Workman g. The popularity of Mr..
Alexander, where he is best known is
attested by the fact that at his home,
Pultney precinct, there was not one of
the 81 votes polled cast against him.
Mr.. Alexander is one of the represen-
tative young farmers of the township

sition of land appraiser will fulfill his
duties faithfully and well. He is the
sort of a man that should be intrusted
with such important duty.

solve the injunction against proceed
ing with the electric light contract
came up at ST Clairsville yesterday.
James G. Tallman presented the argu-
ments for the new company and Dun
can and Danford appeared for the old

first submitting the matter to a vote

the contract to the so-called highest
bidder was nor touched upon. The
court reserved the decision for a few
