CALL ISSUED.
Board of Regents to Meet at
Parkersburg.
December 18th Date Of Meeting Which
May be In Session Two or Three Days
Mr.. Stnrgiss Says That There is
Nothing Sensational to be Done Sc.
lection OF Place Causes Suspicion.

lection OF Place Causes Suspicion.
A call has been issued for meet
ing of the Board of regents. This
is to take place in Parkersburg, on
] December 18th and two or three
days will be taken up with the bust
ness that is to be brought before the
Board. Hon. George c. Sturgiss OF
this place is president OF the board
and he was asked about the meeting.
He stated that the call had been is
sued and that it was hoped to have
all of the members present.
One of the reasons why the meet
ing is to be held in Parkersburg is
that it is more convenient than any
other place Another is that it will
permit Mr.. Powell to be present and
otherwise he could not be with
them. Mr.. Hamill who now lives in
Columbus can also be there as he is
going to Welch on brief business
trip on the goth.
The business that is to be taken
up is the preparation OF the biennial
report of the regents to the Cover
nor. This is very important mat
ter and will probably take up all of
the time of the meeting.
No new professors are to be elect
ed at the next meeting as far as Mr..
Sturgiss knows. The resignation of
Prof. T. G. Miller will be rendered
and will be accepted at the date he
names in it, He is on leave of ab-
sence until April first at present and
being the State superintendent of
Schools elect he will of course relin-
quish his position in the University
tits now thought the position will
be divided and two men elected.
One will preside over the Prep De
partment and the other to be Prof
fessor of Pedagogy Both these po-
sitlens are now filled by Professor
Miller.
Mr.. Stnrgiss stated that he knew
of nothing sensational that would
come up. The suspicion that there
is something in the wind on account
of the selection of Parkersburg as
meeting place is without foundation
as far as he knows. There will be
nothing out of the ordinary but it
will be very important meeting
and there will be plenty of work for
all of the members to attend to while
they are in session
They will make very fine report
to the governor and will prepare
their estimates of the money that
should be given the school during
the next two years. This will be a
very ticklish matter and they will
bring all of their ability to bear on
it.

Col. Jos. McDermott stated la re-
Spouse TO a question that there was

addition to the information that was
published some week ago In regard to
the leasing OF land on the West Side.
He said that some OF the farmers
thought that they would hold their
farms and that there would be wells
sent down any way. However they
are mistaken as unless the rest of the
territory Is obtained there will be no
drilling at present
The Cassyille Gas Company wants

ably enter town before long. They

Two Men Killed by Their In

Tables Leaving Them Both In Death
Another Bloody Chapter in the
Criminal Annals of the State.
PANTHER, w. Va. Dee. 6.-James
II. Chambers of this place, brother
of Judge Chambers. Of Welch, was
the victim of q plot to murder him
and only escaped that fate BY him
self killing the man who had hatch
up the plot and the man, whom, it is
said, he had hired to commit the
crime. As result OF the attempt
TO remove him from the earth Adam
Bailey and DR.. Thompson, OF this
place are now cold in death and
Chambers is in the custody of an
Officer having surrendered himself
as soon as the men he shot died.
Bailey was generally considered a
dangerous and a vicious man. He
has been living with woman who
is not his wife and his wife has filed
suit for divorce. He was under a
murder charge and was out Of jail
on bond when the shooting occur
red Chambers was one of the prin.
eipal witnesses against him and this
is supposed to have been Bailey's
motive in wanting him killed. 1t is
stated that Bailey had employed
DR. Thompson, a veterinary surgeon,
to kill Chambers and the bar keeper
at Bailey's SELDOM is said to have
overheard the details of the plot
as arranged between Bailey and
Thompson for the removal Of Cham
bers
In pursuance of the plot Bailey
and Thompson went last night TO
the saloon kept by Chambers and
opened fire on him at close range
but failed to hit him. Chambers,
without waiting TO find out what
was the matter or why they were
shooting at him, pulled his revolver
and emptied its contents into the
air. One of the bullets hit Thorn
son and he fell dead Chambers
biIl piGhCd II q duuOft JAIL f SuOb-
gun which was nearby loaded with
buckshot and fired both barrels at
once into the breast of Bailey. The
charge tore hole in, his breast as
large as hen egg, through which
one could see entirely through his
body.
About twenty-five shots were fired
in all and when the fuslade ceased
with the death of those who had plot
ted the murder of Chambers he was
the only living person in the room.
He called for help and left the dead
bodies in the care of those who came,
while he went TO the officers and gave
himself up. 1t is conceded that
Chambers acted entirely ia self de-
Tense.
The remains of DR.. Thompson have
been sent to Williamsport, Pa, where
his father Is said to be- one OF the lead
ing veterinary surgeons Of that part
of the state. Bailey formerly lived in
Wyoming county and was man OF
considerable wealth, which will go to
the wife who-is suing for divorce and
to their children. Chambers is a ma
tive of Monroe county and has borne
good reputation.
