MAY INVOKE THE LAW.
belief That boycott M Cleveland Can
he Punished Under Ohio's
Anti-Trust LAW.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 3. Good law
ycrs say that the boycotters may
be proceeded against under the Ohio
antitrust law, which covers conspira-
cies of all kinds In restraint Of trade.
One lawyer. who has examined the law,
says that merchants who refuse TO sell
goods 10 boycotted persons, as well as
those who assist in placing the boycott
upon them, aiding or abetting IL in any
way, can be convicted OF conspiracy,
without proof of the existence of a
conspiracy. The penalty provided Is a
fine OF from $50 10 $4,000 and imprison-
ment of from six months TO year, and
each day that the conspiracy continues
constitutes a separate offense. This law
was passed at the last session of the
legislature. but the author OF II intend
ed that II should apply only to trusts.
Maj. J. II. McQuigg was Wednesday
appointed acting judge advocate by
Adjt Gen. Axline, commanding the
Ohio national guard troops on strike
duty here. IL Is understood that the
acting Judge advocate will at once take
up the legal phase Of the boycott SO far
as il relates 10 the soldiers.
Gen. Axline said that proprietors Of
stores who refused TO sell goods TO
either soldiers or civilians could un-
doubtedly be punished under the law.
He added that reports were constantly
being received at his headquarters in
the city hall showing that many store
keepers throughout the city are refus-
ing TO sell their goods 10 the troops.
To representative of the press Bust
ness Agent Pratt, of the striking street
ear mems union, said that the boycott
had practically passed out of their
hands. "'rhe people themselves" he
said, "have taken il up and where the
movement will end no one can tell"
Adit. Gen. Axline said Monday night
that thethreat 10 arrest merchants who
had boycotted the troops was having a
good effect. The reports received indi-
Gated that the soldiers had been able
TO buy anything they wanted.
II is stated that Gov. Bushnell will
come TO Cleveland in person shortly 10
investigate the situation and to decide
how long the troops shall be kept here.
There is no indication so far OF any
check in the boycott movement, al
though the officials OF the Big CONSOLE
dated say there was a marked increase
i'm the number OF passengers carried
down town on their East end lines
Wednesday morning. As a matter of
fact, however, the ears, aside from
those of the Euclid and Cedar avenue
lines, continue TO run almost empty.
The spoilers" sent out by the strik-
crs are in evidence everywhere along
the Big Consolidated lines. They board
the cars, IL there happens 10 be any
passengers, and endeavor TO learn their
names. Failing in this, the passengers
are followed to their homes or place of
business, and as result In most cases
their names go down on the "list."
Many merchants who are taking part
in the boycott have changed their tao
tics, on account of threats of prosecu-
ton, and simply place prohibitive
price on their goods TO boycotted per-
sons.
The militia is being gradually with
drawn at the rate of two or three com
panies each day

MUNICIPAL POLITICS.
Some Gossip Concerning the
Election of City Dads.

Mayor GlasseOck Does not Intend TO
Serve again-C0l. McDermott is not
Patriotic-0ld Council Should be Re.
eIected-They are well Equipped for
The Service.
The municipal election that oc-
ours on the fourth of January is at
tracing attention on the part of the
citizens of the town and they are
getting ready to elect the best men
that may be named for the various
positions The general inclination
is to elect the same ticket over again
but some of the members of the pres
ent administration are loath to take
up the burden for another year.
Mayor Glasseoek is very much
disposed that way and has publicly
stated in a card to this paper that
he will not allow the use of his name
in connection with the mayoralty
Mr.. Arnett will probably be a candi-
date for reelection and SO far as
known will have no opposition. He
is a capable man and thoroughly ia
miliar with the duties of the office
of recorder.
As for the council some of them
wish to retire and others would
serve if their colleagues would con
sent to a reelection The best thing
according to many people is to keep
them in Office until they have finish
ed their work of pasing the town
They have found it to be such a
hard matter to do that they are tired
and do not want to undertake it any
longer than they have to do it,
Some Of them feel under obliga-
tions to go ahead until the work is
done and may on this ground stand
for reelection if this is insisted on
by the citizens.
The suggestion of Col. Jos. Nc
Dermott for council by "Citizenn in
this paper ON Tuesday aroused the
Colonel and he states that he is not
a candidate and does not intend to
ever fill that part. He doesn't banker
for Office of any sort.
In the mean while every one is
busy studying out a ticket and
there will be plenty of good men
voted for on election day unless the
different ideas are crystalized upon
one ticket
On the ground of expediency it
would be best to elect the old coun.
Gil as it stands and allow them to go
ahead with the paving which they
have so well begun. They can fin
ish the work in another year and
can do it better than any set of men
who will have to find out everything
that this council knows before it
can take step in that direction.

A DEMAND MET.
Local People Get Ready to Turn Out
Lath-Foreign Mills Have Been
Badly Behind With Orders.

There has been very great scarcity
of lath this fall and the builders
have had terrible time getting sup.
plies Of this kind to carry on their
work properly. There has been delay
after delay and the large mills have
been unable TO keep up with the de-
mand. The congestion on the rail-
roads has also kept the supply down
until local contractors nave beco me
desperate.
To meet this demand number OF
gentlemen have started to cutting
lath. They are JOS. M. Wood, John
Mckay and w. /. Conway. The lat
ter has built factory near the Green
mont bridge for this purpose and has
installed his machinery. None OF
them expect to keep cutting the pro-
duct very long as there is a great
scarcity OF the proper material out of
which TO make them.
However they will tide the builders
over the worst and when the big mills
are ready to fill orders the local people
will be ready to shut down this part
OF the operations and turn their atten-
tion to something else.

Tenderfoot oil Company has Large
Holdings in Writ County Several
Wells nre Now GOing Down and they
Expect to get Them Ia Soon other
Operations In the County.
The attention Of Morgantown peo-
pie has been turned toward the pro-
duction OF oil and several companies
have been recently organized with the
intention of developing the territory
that has fallen iuto the hands OF To-
cal people recently. Among them Is
the Tenderfoot OH Company of this
place. The following paragraph was
published In this paper in regard to
it on yesterday as having recently re-
ceived charter from the Secretary OF
State:
Tenderfoot Oil and Gas CO., Of
Morgantown, composed of f. @.
Frame, James L. Frazer, L. c. Cor
bett, Charles ID. Howard, Horace At
wood G. X. Fife and r. l.. Morris.
OF Morgantown; and e, +. Hartley
and II. Glen Green, OF Fairmont.
The subscribed capital is ST 900, ten
per cent paid up, and authorized cap
ital of $3.50, 0o0
They have obtained several thou
sand acres of territory in Writ county
it being ia the shallow sand country
and a number of wells have been
started down in search of the greasy
fluid by the company. The sand lies
but a few hundred feet below the sur
face and 1t costs but trile to reach
it. The returns are very satisfactory
although the production Is usually
small. The wells are very lasting and
will make bumpers of small produce
tion for years.
Several wells are expected In shortly
and the value of the property can
then be better told than 1t can be
now. A number OF small wells are
already in on the territory and the
production amounts to comfortable
sum each day.
A number of other Morgantown
people are interested in Peasants
county this state and in Washington
county Ohio in the same sand and
they are having wells drilled in these
sections. Locally there has been but
little of interest In the direction Of
new wells although there are num-
Der going down Ia the upper end of
the county in which the people here
are interested and they are expected
in shortly. The work of sending
down well here is very slow and
o. no 1o rep r
when there Is anything struck. The
losses are greater when a dry hole is
struck but the territory is generally
better than the average.
The production Of oil each year from
the county Is very large but 1t Is ex-
pected to gradually grow smaller and
smaller as the limits Of the produc-
tive territory are well defined and the
oil is being exhausted.
