LOADED FOR FOOTBALLS.
Clarksburg Business men Compelled TO
Carry Defensive Weapons.

CLARKsBURG, w. Va, Oct. Is 81
The recent highway holdups and
robberies have thrown the people into
a reign Of terror and espeoiaI4y arc
the business men experiencing fear
they never dreamed of before. Bust
ness demands that they be out at
late hour at night and usually they
have money upon them. The pro-
fessional safe blower has demonstrated
the fact that he can successfully ply
his avocation in the very heart OF the
city without fear or chance Of detec-
tion, and the business men feel safer
with the mouey taken In after bank
ing hours under their pillows than in
the safe at the store. Many have
armed themselves and when any per-
son steps up to them to inquire the
time Of night they are told it is time
for them to get and there is no mine
ing of words about Ii GU comes inc
shining revolver and the other fellow
must move on. One prominent
young business man, with a large
sum of money upon him was approach
ed by suspicious character after
the fashioned OF sleuth, evidently
with the intention OF committing
robbery, but his nerve failed him at
the last moment. That young man
now carries a brickbat to protect him
self. A few more highway robberies
will likely result in the issuance of
an order by the Mayor granting the
privilege for all to carry firearms for
self protection.

Papa's Baby is Winner from Start to

''Papa's Baby the new musical
comedy produced this season by
Manager Fred E. Wright, and which
will be seen for the first time at
Opera House on Thursday, Oct IL
may be said to differ from many re-
cent productions of this type in
thatit possesses more intrinsic value
as farce, It's said not to depend
SO entirely upon its interpreters for
it's success as mirth -provoker; it Is
sufficiently funny in itself. The Sc
ries of complications in which the
anthor involves his character are so
Ingenious and follow SO closely one
upon another, that the play is said
to be worthy of rank asa classic ia
farce. The audience is involved In
asseries of laughs which threaten to
become a paroxysm before the final
climax is reached, and it is the very
clearness Of the situations which
adds to their righteousness. Those
in front of the footlights see so clear
" that which is such q muddie to
the characters in the play,

PHEAsANTs CAN NOW BE KILLED
Other Birds must not be Shot In this
State until after November First.

Several parties are said to be pre-
pairing to 60 after quail to day.
They should remember that quail
are protected until after November
first and that the zines are liberal.
Farmers should look out for these
violators and send in information
against them. Pheasants may be
killed now but not quail. The quail
is not protected after the 18th in
Pennsylvania but II takes license
for an outside hunter to hunt there
the same as it does IN this state.

VtHeT DueiueSS 1aken UP Dy the
Court.
A jury was called in the case Of
Mary K, Mills and others, and Mi
nerva w. Hook and others, issued out
Of Chancery. The question at issue
in the case, was the validity or ability
OF testator Thomas Marshall deceased,
to make and sign a will The testi-
mony of the three subscribing wit
nesses TO the will, DIR. Ira e. Hall,
John CoWell and Nicholas Masters
was all that was presented to the jury,
which at once rendered verdict de-
claring the will valid instrument.
In the case of Estella V. Lantz and
husband against the town of Blacks
vile. w. S. Meredith and Goodwin
and Snee appeared for the defendants,
and Moreland and Glasscock and Cox
and Baker for the plaintiffs This is
an action by which the plaintiffs seek
to prevent the town Of Blacksmith
from opening up for public use, GER
tain alleys and streets which appea
upon the plat Of the town Of Blacks
vile, some OF which streets or alleys
have never been used as such. The
defendants in the case contend that
all deeds to land within the limits Of
the town Of Blacksmith, describe the
lots or land decided as a certain num-
Der or numbers in the Plat OF the
Town, and refer to that plat as the
means by which such lots or lands are
located with reference to other lots
and lands within the towns limits.
The other side claims that there was
never any dedication of the streets to
the town Of Blacksville as originally
plated nor to any corporation or COM
munity of people. there being at the
time the plat was made no community
or other local authority of any kind
in existence to whom such dedication
could be made That the dedication
never having taken place, in legal
sense. it follows that the residents
aud owners of lots and lands within
the limits of the present town of
BlacksVille are not bound by any in
strument which alleges to describe
these lots as bounded by streets and
SAiOy . VI Wulou oiC puOlio HdfS never
had the use nor title. The court will
determine these questions before the
close of this term of court.
