On Saturday morning residents of
Glen Hazel, Elk county, discovered an
abandoned lumber shanty near that
place on fire. After the place had been
destroyed it was found that the building

and both had been burned to death. 1t

They are having the livelest kind of
county seat fight down in Randolph
county, w. Va, between the towns of
Elkins and Beverly, the courts having
decided that the Elkinsites have won the
election, in which women donned mons
clothing in order to take hand in the
voting. The Beverlyites have sent word
to the 400 Elkinsites to come and take
the records if they can. Elkins is where
our old friend j. B. Erb, formerly of

he will not get into the battle if one
should be fought.
