Marys Thursday morning where he
held an important session of Cir
cult Court.
The newspapers there have been
having a great deal to say about
speakeasies and Judge Tavennor ask
ed for subpoenaes for the editors to
come to Court and tell what they knew
Editor Jim Williams Of the Leader was
found and told all he knew, but the ed
itor of the Oracle was out of town.
The principal business of the session
was the hearing on the rule for con-
tempt against Miles Davis, Henry
Chenney and ]. w. Mahoney, charged
with operating speakeasles. These
men had failed to answer a rule at a
former day, but attachments were is
sued and they were arrested and
brought into Court Thursday morning.
Sixteen witnesses were examined, and
it was ascertained that they had been
WIN Dhi lChhOi o.
and Mahoney had even brought his
brother from Sistersville to run his
place while he was at Court answering
the rule and attachment, Thereupon
Judge Tavenner sentenced each of the
men to six months Imprisonment in
the county Jail and to pay all the costs
of the contempt proceedings.
At noon Prosecuting Attorney Craig
and attorneys Caldwell and Black
MARI prepared and took out warrants
against John Doe ct al. The papers
were placed in the hands of e. R

it is suspected that liquor was being
sold Illegally. He found business go
ing on at several places and confsti-
Gated the goods and placed all the
parties under arrest. He made Q

Belpre Woman Insane.

A mentally deranged woman got off
an east bound train at Clarksburg
last night, who had in her possession
a deed for a house and lot in Belpre
made to Mary F. Thornton from Will
liam e. Thornton. She was arrested
there on account of her strange actions
and could give no satisfactory account
of herself. She claimed that her name
was Frame, and investigation by the
officers here who were communicated
with by the Clarksburg authorities,
shows that there are several people
living in Washington county by that
name. Chief Cook has also found that
there is man in Belpre by the name
of William E. Thornton and has been
trying to find him today to see of the
identity of the woman cannot be estab-
lished.-Journal

A Busy Week.

Today ends the busy season OF
Christmas shopping and Marietta mer-
chants and their employees will be glad
in way, when the time comes to
close their doors tonight and they can
get ready to ENJOY two days rest. This
has been a very busy week among the

people alone are not the only buyers
but that the merchants have been lib

BANQuET
rendered Bv the Bellevue Hotel to
Newspaper Men,

The management Of the Bellevue ho-
tel have extended an invitation to the
Quill pushers, and also to the editors,
of the newspapers OF the city to attend
a six O'Clock dinner at that famous
hostelry on Christmas night. This in
vitation was received yesterday and
instantly enabled the quill pushers to
arrange a program for the evening,
and the principal words in that pro-
gram are Dinner" and "The Theatre" +"
At first the boys had thought of hav-
a. common pie and milk spread
at home, but in view OF the
honors that have been thrust
upon them, they will endeavor
to show themselves equal to the emer-
gency and are getting the "cellulold

Holdren, Davis & Curry have offered
the service of their cabs for the even

brass, brains by the editors and brass
by the quill pushers, and not one Of
the worthy number will have even so
much as a mote of dust fall on his
shoes, which will be blacked for this
occasion for the first time since they
came out of the store. The cabs will
call at the respective residences of the
nine who will be anxiously waiting,
and will convey the honored guests to
the Bellevue, where dinner will be
served promptly at six o'clock. This
promises to be one of the finest affairs
(for the newspaper men) that ever
took place in the town. Special ar
rangements will be made to prevent
any of the members of the Club from
overeating themselves.
At eight o'clock the party will go in
cabs to the Auditorium, where the
quill pushers will endeavor to look al
home in the spacious box so gener-
ously offered them by Manager Luchs
A special request is made to the audi
