GREEN BoMBARDEO A TRAIN
But fhe Next Stones he Throws Will be
in The Penitentiary.

One William Green, a burly-looking
young man with shaggy locks. robust
in stature and capable of putting up
a rough and dangerous fight, was held
Saturday by Squire J. n. David in
81 1000 bail to answer an Indictment
for felony by the next grand jury.
Upon complaint of j. w. Brown, B. II
o. agent at WilSonburg, Green stands
charged with feloniouSly throwing
stones at and into a Il. & o. passenger
coach. The alleged deed was COM
mitted at Wilsonburg, Thursday
morning, April ), 1900, Green and a
couple of companions boarded the
morning accommodation west here in
semi-intoyicatcd condition. Before
the train had gone two miles out they
became boStcrouS and troublesome
and Just west of AdamSton Conductor
Ham Rose and his brakeman at
tempted to qucll the disturbance but
were unsuccessful. At Wilsonburg
the conductor succeeded in cjccting
Green from the train. The latter
then proceeded to lombard the coach
with large powders. One stone
crashed through window, struck the
opposite side of the car, rebounded
and struck Mrs. Meredith in the
face, intiicting sight wound. In its
course through the car the stone mar
rowly missed a small child sitting by
the lady. Had it struck the child
serious and perhaps fatal results
would have ensued. Trainmcn, a
constable and Mr.. Brown pursued
Green and caught him. Squire Flynn
Of Wilsonburg sent him here and
lodged him in jail until he could have
a hearing. There is little doubt that
he will take trip to the penltentiary.
He was unable TO give bail and was
committed TO Jail.

Col. yance's Plantation.

Clarksburg will regret to lose the
citizenship of Col. John G. Vance. He
has decided to locate in the South
and has purchased a large, 200 acre
plantation at Calhoun, Gordon county,
Georgia. 1t lies on the CooSawatta
river and is among the best in that
fertile valley. This year he has so
acres in cotton, IS in corn, 20 in
wheat, besides many acres in oats,
pototoes. sweet potatoes, water
melons and other truck. His prlnci-
pal crop, however, will be peaches and
and early fruit, the product Of an
orchard of 1900 trees covering 30
acres. Col. Vance returned a few
days ago from a trip to his plantation
and says his peach orchard in full
bloom is one OF the most magnificent
scenes he ever bcheld. The planta-
tion has an elegant residence on 1t
and so situated that every point on
the farm Is in sight.

BAR ASSOCIATION D0WNED.
Political Parties win Still Keep on
Nominating Supreme Court Judges.

Committees representing the Demo-

Committees and the State Bar AssO-

Committee, District Attorney Gaines
and w. n. Miller, of Parkersburg, rep
resentlng the Republican Committee,
w. p. Hubbard, of Wheeling, and P.
j. Crogan, of Kingwood, representing
the Bar Association, met at the Jack
son Hotel.
1t was proposed that each party
nominate one candidate, but this was
not acceptable.
After several other propositions had
been discussed, it was decided to give
up efforts to that end and agree to
nominate the best men in each party.
The plan adopted was to induce both
State conventions to refuse to nomi-
nate candidates for the Supreme Court
judgeship and for both parties to hold
at the same time and place, later con-
yentions to select candidates forjudgc,

The council then adjourned to meet

The absurd claim is made that the
w. C. T. U. defeated George j. Reed
for chief Of police and elected James
j. ChildeS to that office by running
i. NJ. Swartz for chief. Mr.. Childers
received ~ more votes than Reed and
of the total vote of 66 which Swartz
received Reed would have had to re-
ceive 40 to have been even with
Childers and while Reed was getting
those 40, some votes would certainly
have gone to Childers. Subtracting
Reeds 40 from 66 leaves l7and only 8
of that II would have been necessary
to elect Childers. Who is crazy
enough tosay Childers could not have
gotten while Reed was getting the
other 81? Eight of Swartz votes
added to the total cast for Childers
would have given him a total of 454,
while 81 added to Reeds total vote
would have given him a total OF 453,
electing Chllders by majority. The
idea that the w. G. II. U. was respon-
sible for Reeds defeat is preposterous.
