CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.
Two virginians In Serious Trouble In
Hampshire County.

Hampshire County.
Special to the Register.
MARTTNyBURG, w. Va, June H.
Harry NJ. Anderson, John Morrison
and Thomas Morrison, his brother,
highly respected young men OF VIM
chester, Va, near here, have been ar
rested on the charge of robbing Chas.
Cooper, an aged resident of Hampshire
county. The alleged crime occurred
about dark on May 18th. About dusk
on that evening Poland Keller, who
lives with Mr.. Cooper, was summoned
to the front door by a knock, and upon
answering the summons was confront
ed by three masked men, one of whom
leveled a revolver against his breast
and demanded to know where Cooper's
money was hidden. Keller's wife hear
ing the noise, came down stairs, and
another of the robbers covered her with
a revolver. Compelling Keller to take
a lighted lamp in each ttrand, the rob-
bers began to ransack the house.
They found 1917. The robbers retreat
ed to the woods nearby, where they
got in vehicle and rode off in the
direction Of Cacapon Bridge. A man
who knew Anderson, one of the men
arrested, passed him and his two COM
panions near the scene, Of the crime
shortly before it happened. An empty
whisky bottle found where the rob-
bers were encamped was identified as
having been sold to Anderson. The
Morrison brothers were identified by
Keller on the street in Winchester in
the immense crowd attersing the Con-
federate memorial exercises. William
Heflin has also been arrested in con-
nection with the crime as an accessory
before the fact. 1t is alleged he worked
for Cooper, the victim of the hold-up,
on his farm. He therefore knew that
Cooper always kept a large sum of
money in the house, and it is alleged
that he told the three men under ar
rest of the hiding place and had plan
ned the robbery. At the request of w.
B. Cornwell, prosecuting attorney of
Hampshire county, the preliminary
hearing of the prisoners has been set
for the 18th. By that time the requisi-
ton papers will be ready and the men
brought to this State for trial.

COUNTY COURT OF HARRISON
FROM CANCELLING AN ISSUE
OF BONDS TO AID IN BUILDING
A NEW ROAD-A NUMBER OF
OTHER SECOND DISTRICT
CASES ARGUED AND SUBMIT
TED.
The State Supreme Court of Appeals
hook up the docket for the Second dis
trict Saturday morning, comprising
Monongalia, Marion and Harrison coun-
ties. The most interesting and inn
portant case under consideration was
that of West Virginia & Pennsylvania
Railway Company against the County
Court OF Harrison County.
The railway company seeks to pre-
vent the county court from cancelling
an issue of S150,000 worth of bonds,
which were voted some years ago to
aid in the construction of the pro-
jected railroad. The railway company
appealed from the lower court, and
asks that the county court be prohibited
from annulling the bond ISSUE On the
part of the county, it is claimed that
the company never complied with the
conditions of Harrison county's sub
scription to the capital stock, with ref
erence to beginning the actual work of
construction of the road. etc. This is
disputed on the other side. and it is al
legged that the work has been going on.
This matter involves railroad pro-
jects in Harrison county. The pro-
jected road would open UP populous
country, and greatly increase the rail-
road facilities in Harrison and adjoin-
ing counties, but the scheme has been
dormant for number of years, and
has been looked upon as virtually
abandoned. The fight which the rail-
way company is making at this time
is regarded by the people of CNrks-
burg as an indication that the pro-
jected road may yet be constructed.
The matter was argued and submitted.
The case of Howard l.. Ammons ct

TRAGEDY At KANHPOLIS.
Italian Kills a Man, Wounds n Woman
and PIunges to Death Himself.

ELLSWORTH, Kan, April Is. An un-
usual tragedy, in which an Italian and his
wife and a male boarder were actors, took
place at Annapolis. The husband and the
boarder are dead and the woman is severely
wounded. No names are given. 1t seems
that the woman recognized the bcarder as an
escaped murderer, wanted in Italy for killing
a man, woman and child. He had been
tracked to South America, and only recently
came to Kanapolis. Learning that his iden-
tity had become known, and fearing
he would be given up, he determined to kill
the family. He started in by shooting the
husband and wife. The wounds did not
prove serious and the toarder slashed the
man about the face and neck with a razor,
cutting off one ear. almost severing the
nose and cutting two gaShes in his throat.
The woman, who was not seriously wounded.
gave the alarm. In escapin the boarder
plunged headlong into a shaft at the salt
works. The body bounded from side to side,
SCATTERING the timbers with brains and
blood until ii reached the bottom, 1000 feet
below. The head and hands were torn from
the body by the force. The remains were
gathered up in a sack and brought to the
top, where they were taken in charge by the
coroner.
Later.-The Italian who was killed and
whose wife was rounded was George PIX.
The assassin, who was killed in the salt
works shaft, was Thomas Minardi, said 10 be
a Polander. though he is alleged TO have
lived in Italy.

THEIR HOMES FLOODED.


OMAHA, Neb. April 2.-The rise OF the
Missouri river at this point, which still con-
tinues, has resulted in driving 60 people
from their homes and the nearly total sub
mergence of bottom lands territory, six
miles long and two miles wide. The water
is eighteen inches deep oil the bottoms.
Water Is in the icehouse of Swift & Co..
at South Omaha All the manufacturing
plants In the bottoms are flooded and the
Union Pacific Terminal Company's tracks
cannot be used. The water 10 now within
about four inches OF the top Of the dixie ON
the north side of Locust street, and the pres
sure is tremendous. The river is falling
above Omaha and II is expected the worst
will be over by Tomorrow.
At the regular meeting of the City Council

for the people rendered homeless by the
high water IN the Missouri river. over one
hundred families are homeless and many

HIS STORY DISTORTED
CAPTAIN COGHLAN'S EXPLANATION
OF HIS RECENT UTTERANCES.
Letter to Secretary Long Read at the
Cabinet MeetinE-Little Probable
ity that He VIII BE Punished.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-At the Cabinet
meeting to-day the recent utterances OF
Captain Coghlan, of the cruiser Raleigh.
were informally discussed. Secretary Long
said he had received a letter on the sub
ject from Captain Coghlan. The captain dis
claimed any intention Of insulting the Ger
man Emperor or Admiral Won Diedrichs,
n his remarks on the occasion Of the
Union League Club banquet were made in
the most informal manner in the company
of friends. without any thought that they
would be reported in the public press. AS
they did appear. he said, they were exag-
gerated and distorted and he was made
to say things which he did not utter. He
claims that under the circumstances his re-
marks should be regarded as privileged.
After the Cabinet meeting adjourned Sec
rotary Long and Secretary Hay remained a
short time with the President to further
discuss the matter. 1t is understood that
the captain will soon retire from the serv-
ice through the regular channel, and it is
thought that in view of this fact, and fur
Their that he rendered distinguished service
at the laval engagement at Manila the au-
thorities will show him as much considers
tion as is consistent with naval discipline.
According to arrangements made some days
ago for the Presidents visit TO Philadelphia
he was to go aboard the Raleigh next Fri
day morning as a special compliment to
Captain Coghlan. Whether, under the cir
cumstances, this part Of the programme
will be changed, cannot now be stated.
The general impression is that the case OF
Captain Coghlan is losing Importance as
the days pass and his action is viewed in
a more considerate light. A high official
whose advice would have much to do with
shaping the fate of Captain Coghlan said
that in his opinion the needs of the case
could nave been completely met by a sharp
letter of reprimand addressed to him by the
Navy Department If the captain had ad-
mitted he was correctly reported. The Ger
man ambassador has not communicated
with the State Department on this subject
since yesterday and il Is believed the Ger
man government is nov content to await
the action of the Navy Department without
further pressing the matter. The view was
expressed at the German embassy to-day
that the Coghian affair was practically
ended and that with the administering OF a
reprimand by the Navy Department the in
cident would be closed.
The German ambassador has received a
large number of letters expressing regret
and disapproval of the Coghlan incident.
These come not only from German-Ameri-
cans, but from representative Americans.
who deplore the straining of international
relations by comparatively trivial acts OF in
dividuals.
