Hunted Trouble.

Chas. s. w. De Formeire, the accused
postoffice robber who was set at liberty
Friday, was not free very long before
he began to celebrate the event. He asked
for money TO pay his way back TO Han
cock and for that purpose he was advanced
money by those whom he asked. His
actions came very near putting him on
the road to Jail, instead Of TO Hancock,
however.
After De Formere had gotten a few
drinks in him his Infamous spirit be
gan to crop out again. About the first
ace he made for was negro home at the
South end of Maple avenue, which he
entered and uttered the words II want a
woman. He was scared away by a
bucket of hot water.
He next made for the home of Deputy
United States Marshal Jno. I. Paudng,
the man who had placed him in Jail.
Opening the door without knocking, he
imprudently walked into the house, where
he came across Mr.. Pauldlng looking over
some papers.
Mr. Paulding did not at first recognize
him, not knowing he was at liberty, but
after a few moments thought he recog-
n zed the notorious De Formiere standing
before him and at the same time MIR.
Pauldihg's past experiences with the man
flashed through his mind. He at first
knew that there was something W" and,
without hesitation. ordered the intruder
to "abcut face"
De Formeire then threatened the lives
of the deputy marshal and all the other
officers who had ever had anything to do
With placing him behind the bars and
remarked that he would have revenge.
Seeing that he would not obey the
command TO leave the house, MIR Pauld-
ing grabbed him by the back of the neck
and with a couple of blows upon his head
and face, thrust him headong out of the
door onto the pavement. The intruder

Later in the afternoon he was found
lying in yard near Green Hill Cemetery
by the citizens of that vicinity, whom he
told he had been sandbagged and robbed
of $50 The citizens. out of pity for him,
sent for Policeman Freeze 10 take his
case. Officer Freeze took him TO the pO-
| lice office, but when his identity became
known he was given FIVE minutes to clear

For a Joint Debate.

sThe real opening of the campaign in
West Virginia will occur within the next
few DAYS, when Judge John II. Holt, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, and
"A. B. White, his Republican opponent.
meet in Joint debate in Wheeling. The
State Committees are now arranging the
date.
Not since the days Of 1888 when Judge
Nathan Golf and William L. Wilson en-
gagged in forensic battles over the State.
have Gubernatorial candidates OF West
Virginia met on the stump. Judge Holt
is a polished lawyer, but Mr.. White has
been in politics since the days OF his boy
hood.
A story that is vouched for by some
Democrats is to the effect that the state
Committee. which has made poll OF the
State. finds that West Virginia will SWING
back into her former place by majority
of about 1900. The Republicans as
sert that their poll will demonstrate that
President Mckinley will have a majority
over William Jennings Bryan OF at least
1000. President McKinley's plurality
in 1896 was fI,487.
In some of the mill districts Democrats
hope to make large gains, but they VIII De
balanced by the Republicans in the agrl-
cultural, mining and lumber districts,
where voters are paying absolutely no at
tention to the campaign apparently. Some
of the "spelblnders" OF both partIes are
disguised with the apathy their meetings
have met with in the lumber regions.
People will not turn out to hear campaign
issues discussed, out keep right on min-
ing more coal than they ever did before
and getting out lumber on a scale that lar
exceeds that of former years. In the rst
Congressional district the Democrats have
not yet opened the campaign.
