The Lake Terra Alta premises are
very beautiful now. A mile stretch of

many varieties of most beautiful wild

the cool. dry breeze that in course of
time will make these premises fam

Great preparations are being made
here for the celebration of the Fourth

be held here the End, 3rd and 4th of
July, and, taking the two together, it
goes to constitute a big time for our
little mountain city. Aside from the
interesting sessions of the reunion. the
programme announced in part for the
Fourth, is a parade at 900 a. M,
tub race. a boat race and a swimming
contest at the lake in the afternoon
and big sham naval battle on the
lake at night, to occur directly after the
close of the grand concert in the audi
forum. The display of fireworks will
be large and of a far better quality
than ever before seen here.
Mrs. Mary j. Raymond, of Mountain
Lake Park, was a Terra Alta visitor
Saturday of last week, having come up
to look over some real estate invest
ments. Mrs. Raymond is formerly of
Fairmont, this State, and some years
ago located at the Park Shortly after
her arrival there she became involved
in some kind of religious quarrel, and
the trouble has continued until it re-
suited a week ago in Mrs Raymond
being arrested and tried before Jury
of Oakland citizens on a charge of in
sanity. The arrest was made on COM
plant of Messrs. l.. A. Rudisill and
Jas. A. Hayden, leading citizens of Mt
Lake Park, who were represented at
the trial by Gilmore S. Hamill a lead
ing attorney of Oakland When the
time for trial came, Mrs. Raymond ap-
peared without counsel and conduct
ed her own case, and the manner in
which she handled some of the. wit
nes5es who appeared against her was
enough to convince the jury that she
was not insane and is fully competent
to manage her own property and af-
fairs. Mrs. Raymond has issued ten
or twelve circulars, in which she sets
forth the trouble at great length, and
some of the charges made in the cir
culars are very sensational and are
openly against some of the leading peO-
pie of the Park During the past week
a church trial was given Mrs. Raymond
III the M. <. church at Oakland, and as
a result she was expelled therefrom
Mrs. Raymond now claims that she is
taking steps to arrest Messrs. Rudisill
and Hayden, and some sensational
developments are looked for The case
has been quite a sensational one from
the time of the first trouble. and pub
lie interest is greatly excited as to just
what Mrs. Raymond will be able to ac-
complish. The charge of insanity hav-
ing failed, both through trial by jury
and by expert testimony after examin-
alton, gives the case more cause for
interest. Mrs. Raymond is said to be
well connected at Fairmont and is
widow of some means, owning proper
ty at Mt. Lake Park and having an in
come besides.
