Cut His Fathers Throat.

While raining a succession Of cruel
blows upon his wife, Dennis Butts, a
sturdy mountaineer residing at the
foot of the mountain, FIVE miles west
of town, had his throat cut almost
from ear to ear yesterday afternoon
by his young son, who interviewed to
save his mother from being beaten by
his drunken father. The facts have
been suppressed and very little could
be learned of the ARRAY.
Between four and FIVE o'clock in the
afternoon the lad ran to neighbor 5
house and asked that a doctor be sent
for, as his fathers throat had been
cut and he was bleeding to death.
When askei how his throat was cut
he replied that he accidentally cut it
with the iron wire attached to pair
of hand scales.
1t has been learned, however, that
such was not the case, but that while
Butts was beating his wife the lad had
interviewed to save his mother from
his fathers cruel blows and slashed
his father across the throat with a
pocket knife. The cut showed con-
clusively that it was a knife wound.
1t was several inches below the chin
and extended from one side Of the
neck to the other. Dr. Baker put
five stitches in the wound.-WUtinS-

Edwin Booth Not In II.

Shepherdstown folks were enter

aggregation Of barnstormers, who rem
dered thrilling dramas under canvas
tent pitched neart the railroad. Every
sort Of enjoyment could be gotten
from the show. The villain was such
a villain as one reads about but seldom
sees, and his desperate deeds set every
nerve a-tingling. The heroine was
all that could be desired, and when
she exclaimed in tragic tones, "Heav.
ems Has he came? ?" she just brought
down the house. The absolute &C.
curacy with which the characters were
stabbed at vital points or shot with
Immediately fatal result was only
equalled by the facility with which
they instantly emerged from under
the stage and took their place in the
orchestra. 1t was a great company,
and we announce with JOY that they
will return in September and fill a
weeks engagement.

Did Not Like the Jail.

One day last week George Mccain
and Doc Keats, two young colored
boys of not very good reputation, bonn
barded Conrad Snyder with hard,
green apples and also used language
toward HIM of the most unbecoming
sort. Mr.. Snyder laid in complaint
and they were arrested by Sergeant
Maddox, who hailed them before May
or Miller. He imposed a small fine
upon them, and being unable to raise
the cash they were placed in Jail, being
the first prisoners it received in its
new location. Kind friends enter
tanned the boys by telling them hair
raising ghost stories, and when night
came the prisoners were frightened
almost out of their wits by prospect
i've COLLINS that they feared would get
EN-. They howled manfully for re-
lease, but they were kept in durance
vile. Mccain could not stand another
night Of such terror, so next day he
worked away at a knot-hole until he
had gotten it big enough to slip
through and he put out for parts un-
known, The following day Keats was
released, and he was mighty thankful.
Mccain is supposed to be in hiding
near town.

as she would make a great sacrihcein
marrying him, it would be only prop

Turning Out the Wheat.

Threshing machines are busy in The
land and the farmers are having their
wheat gotten ready for market just as
fast as possible. AS heretofore limited,
the wheat is not turning out as well
as had been hoped, and there will be
good deal of disappointment at the
yield. The crop, it is thought, will be
an average one in this county, though
a month or two ago. it gave promise Of
being much greater. E. 81. Reinhart
is thIeshing this week and says he will
make about 90 bushels to the acre.
He had hoped for 80 bushels.

Says the Dog Was Not Mad.

Jacob J. Show makes denial that
the dog that was killed on the Tanner
farm last week was mad. Mr.. Show
says that the dog belonged to him, and
was a harmless little beast that would
not hurt anybody. His son had
started to town and the dog followed
him. When it got part of the way it
was suffering so from the heat that it
was left in fence corner to rest un-
til its master returned, as it was old
and unable to travel very far. Mr..
Show says that it was the pet OF the
family, and his folks were greatly
grieved over what they think was an
unnecessary canine murder.

stone, on Saturday afternoon with a
shotgun. Coverstone had abused his
wife, who took refuge at her fathers,
and he went to seek her. Shiplstt fas-
tened the doors OF the house and warned
Coverstone away, but the latter broke
in the back door, which was only but
toned on the inside. He was met by
the discharge of Shiplett's gun, the
load taking effect in the stomach. The
wounded man died the next morning,
imploring his brother with almost his
last breath to kill Shiplett. The latter
gave himself up. Public sympathy Is
with him. Coverstone's reputation
was bad. He was about 40 years of
age.
