Governor and Judge at Odds.

fenced Eli B. Hatfield to twelve
years Imprisonment for numbering a
marshal, Doc Ellis He granted a
stay for sixty days. At the expirs-
ton of the stay Gov. Atkinson granted
a thirty days reprieve. Ia doing
this Judge Doolittle believes that the
Governor exceeded his powers and he
ordered the sheriff to take Hatfield to
the penitentiary. Warden Hawk had
been notified of the Governors action
and refused to accept the prisoner till
he heard from Gov. Atkinson. The
sheriff put Hatfield into the Mounds
vile jail for safe keeping and wired
Judge Doolittle of the circumstances.
The Judge issued mandamus citing
Warden Hawk to appear before him
and show cause why Hatfield shall
not be admitted to the State prison.
Judge Doolittle declares that he will
have the Governor impeaehed for as
Stunning judicial powers. The sheriff
is threatened with Imprisonment by
the Governor if he takes Hatfield to
the penitentiary and by Judge Doc
little if he does not. The Governor
says he will remove Warden Hawk if
he receives the prisoner, and the Judge
says he will jail him if he does not.

ATTEMPTED Bank Robbery.

An unsuccessful attempt was made
Monday night to rob the Jefferson
Savings Bank in Shepherdstown The
burglars did their work very quietly,
for they entered the bank, made fu-
tile attempt to blow the safe open and
took their departure without having
been seen or heard. Harrison Schley
discovered the depreciation when he
opened the bank Tuesday morning
The front door had been forced open
with the aid of pick. The burglars
then attacked the door of the vault,
and with a brace and bit bored small
hole in the door near the combination
lock. They only got in about half
inch, when the hard steel blunted the
point of their bit and caused them to
desist. They then attacked the wall
enclosing the vault, but the lining OF
steel again foiled them. The thieves
had become discouraged by this time,
and without doing further damage
they quietly took their departure, leav-
ing behind them big sledgehammer,
a pick, brace and bit and a bag in
which they may have carried dyna-
mite. They left no clue as to their
identity, but from the way in which
they worked it is not believed that
they were professionals Of the highest
order. They never got within smell
ing distance of the money, which is as
carefully guarded by steel doors and
massive metal safes as any country
bank in this section. 1t would take
many hours for the most expert burg
lars to get into the inner safes.
This is the second attempt made to
rob the bank, an entrance having been
forced several years ago and similar
unsuccessful efforts to open the safe
engaged in, We hope that these ma
RAIDERS may now be satisfied that the
bank i. too hard a nut for them to
crack.
At meeting of the bank directors
yesterday steps were taken looklngto
measures that will insure a warm re-
ception to future burglars.
