CONTRACTS LET.
Caldwell and Drake of Parkers-
burg the Successful Bidders.

Price Of the Buildings net Given Out
Yet-rhey are TO Be Finished in Fsur
Hundred Days From This Date--Lo
cafian Of ArmoTy may be Across In
Greenmont-W Work Of the Committee.
The executive committee of the
board OF regents adjourned on Fri
day evening after awarding the con
tracts for the three new buildings
to Caldwell and Drake of Parkers
burg. The latter had the lowest
bids ont of the field of dozen bid
ders. They have the contract for
building the Wood county Cours
House and for the Capitol Annex at
Charleston and are builders of
state wide reputation.
The price at which the buildings
were let is not made public but will
be given out when the contracts are
closed up. Mr. Sturgiss assures us
that it was well within the amount
of money available which is ia
round numbers $4,000 for the three
buildings.
The executive committee reserved
the right TO change the location OF the
Armory from the present University
grounds to the new grounds across in
Greenmont which have been rendered
the board in writing by the owners,
DIR. S. S. Wade, r. r. Chrisman, i.
G. Lazzelle and Huston and Domain.
They have offered the board three and
seventeenth acres free of any charges
in the new addition which piece oi
land is 30 be used as site for the
armory and for drill and athletic
grounds.
The committee had no power TO ac
cept the tender but they assured th'
donors that the board would in al
likelihood gladly take the offered lanC
at their next meeting and the build
ing would probably be placed on IL
The contractor objected somewhat Il
this arrangement but it is expected
that he will let it go as he will havs
less excavating to do and have les
stone work to put in.
The contracts for the buildings
have been left to Mr.. Sturgiss to pre-
pare and he is engaged in drawing
them up now. They will be gottel
ready for the signature vi The mem
bers of the committee and of the firm
as soon as possible. They will call TO
the completion of the buildings with
in four hundred working days from
the time that they were let. Thel

BROADENAX'S FATE.


The fate of VIM. Broadenax, the
Mcdowell murderer now in the pen
itentiary annex under sentence Of
death will be determined as soon as
Governor Atkinson can read the rec
ord of the evidence on which the
conviction was made. A copy of it
is now being prepared at the Cover
nor's request.
The respite of thirty days which
was granted Broadenax by the Gov
ernor expires Nov. 10, and unless
there is something in the evidence
to indicate that the penalty of death
is too severe, Broadenax will shuttle
off this mortal coil on that day. At

Governor has consulted, states that
the prevailing sentiment in Me

SERIES OF ROBBERIEs.

Southern Fayette Receives Number
OF Visits from Burglars-NO Clues to
the Thieves.
A number of small robberies have
recently taken place in the vicinity
of Cross Roads in Fayette county.
On Thursday night the store at
Cans station was broken into and
robbed of a considerable sum OF
money besides goods that were taken.
The thieves got away without being
detected and the robbery was dis
covered next morning.
Stores at Cheat Haven and the
Cross Roads have also been robbed
in similar manner lately and.it is
thought that an organized gang is
operating in that section of the
county. So far there has been no
clues to the thieves found and they
are still enjoying the fruits of their
illgotten gains unmolested.
At the Cross Roads they robbed
the postoffice. This will give them

They must have a nice lot of boys
over at Washington Jefferson col
lege. They were guilty Of numer-
GUS acts of vandalism and iucendia-
rism few nights ago and the Wash
ington Observer refers to them thus:
The acts of vandalism perpetrated
by a body OF college men between
midnight and morning Wednesday
are shame and disgrace to the
community, the college and the
whole student body. The authori-
ties Of the institution should see to
it that summary punishment be
meted out to the guilty parties.
That such things should occur and
not single arrest be reported is ex
tremely discreditable to the officers
of the law, whose duty it is TO see to
the peace and quiet of the town,
the preservation of property and
the punishment of crime. The whole
disgraceful affair is, to say the least,
but a poor advertisement of both
college and town.
