WATCH OUT FOR HIM.

The people down about Pisgah, in
this county, and over about Laurel
iron Works and Cans, Pa, Just
across the line from us, are consid-
erably worked up over rape fiend
who is running at large in that sec
ton and has raidad several houses
and tried to assault several girls.
he caught ten year old girl OF A.
ID. Lyons, who lives on the state
line, as she was coming from school
the other evening and tore the
clothes all off the child and would
perhaps have murdered her had her
little six year old brother, who was
with her, not ran home and told the
father, who grabbed his gun and
ran to the rescue in time to see the
scoundrel running away. through the
woods. Mr.. Lyons married sister
of County Clerk George A. Walls,
for his second wife, add Mr.. Walls
IS in receipt Of letter from him
telling all about it and asking that
the officers be warned to watch for
and capture the fellow if possible.
as he was headed this way and it
was hard to tell what further depreda-
tons he might commit. The fellow is
a mulatto, and is named Charles
Meeks or Charles l.. Newton or any
old name that comes handy. He
just finished up a FIVE years term in
the Pen for rape and has only been
out about two months and is said
to be desperate character. Mr..
Lyons says he has on three pair of
pants and three shirts and is very
tall and thin and very laxative.
IL he is captured and taken back TO
the scene Of his crimes, he will
likely be lynched.

THAT SMALLPOX CASE.

The smallpox scare did not
amount to much in Kingwood and
our officials got rather ashamed OF
the matter and turned the Italian
out and drove him off, after keep
ing him penned up in the Poor
House a week. The fellow was
brought here two weeks ago today
from Buckhorn, broken out with
some kind of bad disease, as we
explained last week. DR.. Showal-
ter, the physician in charge Of the
Inhrmary and DR.. Manown also,
who was taken out 10 examine him,
declared that the fellow had small
pox, but last Friday they took out
complete outfit of new clothing
and had the patient to shed and
battle and array himself in the new
toys furnished by the county and
then skip out. He tried to leave
by rail and then by livery team,
but both refused to carry him. All
his old clothes were burned and his
room thoroughly cleaned and fumi-
gated. AS it has been two weeks
since the Dago was brought here
and no symptoms of any one taking
the disease from him, we are more
convinced than ever that he did not
have smallpox, DR.. Prondfoot of
Rowlesburg, called us up last week
after seeing our article in the pap
er about the matter and said that
he had been treating the fellow for
some time before sending him to
the Poor House and that he had no
smallpox nor never had it so far as
he knew and he had known the fell
low for seven years. He said he
had no idea that our people would
get up such scare over it or he
would have written to the county
authorities or physician in regard to
the case and explained what was the
matter with the fellow. He said he
had secondary syphilis and had
gotten so bad with it and not able
to work and no money or friends to
take care of him and as the County
Court had passed an order refusing
to help any one outside of the Poor
House, there was nothing else to do
but send him there for keeping and
treatment, although a case like that
should never be sent to the County
lnhrmary. If the County has TO
take care of such cases, it should
be done at home if they have any.
As matter of fact, the disease the
Italian has, is much worse than the
smallpox, although not so conta-
gious eff you are careful" and it
was all right for the authorities to
take every precaution to keep any
one else from catching it, but we
doubt the efficacy of vaccination.

THE ROwLEsBURG BRIDGE.

The County Court has at last
taken definite action on the long
and badly needed bridge across
Cheat river at Rowlesburg. The
people of the River City have been
asking for 1t, for 10 these many
years and while the Court has long
ago acknowledged the justice of the
claim they always thought the
county finances unable to stand the
expense. However now that the
treasury IS in good shape, the Court
gets down to business and on Tues
day passed an order for the bridge
and appropriated S., 600 out Of the
levy for this year, to pay for the
stone work. BY issuing County
orders and taking three years in all
to pay for the bridge, it can be
built without issuing bonds or going
into any special debt either. 1t is
thought that the bridge can be com
pleted by next October and it is es-
tImated to cost about SI7, 600 all
told, stone work, iron and all. 1t
will be a splendid structure, with
heavy abutments and approaches
and good.pier in the middle Of
the river. The bridge Of course,
will be wrought iron and will likely
be erected by the Wrought Iron
Bridge Co, Of Canton, Ohio, as
they have done considerable work
in this county.

FROM Z ntdH Reporter.
The town Of Function is famed
for its politics. 1t is within the
bounds Of truth 70 say there is more
politics in function to the square
inch than any town in the county
OF Preston. A Tunneltonite was
giving The ARGUS a brief outline
OF the municipal contest which took
place on Wednesday, January srd,
lie stated that it was the hotties,
contest the old town had expcrienc.
ed since Leader Leroy Shaw left the
village. And this reminds THr
ARGUS that the political activity of
that town owes its political inspira
ton to Leader Shaw. In the town
of Tunnelton some of the most sue.
cessfni plots were hatcned by Lead
er Shaw and his able lieutenants
against ring rule and Republican
bossism in old Preston. And it APP
pears that those who have moved to
.Tunnelton have been inocula,ed by
the political virus of Leader Shaw.
But 10 return to the municipal
election. From what our informant
tells as, the contest was red hot but
friendly. The bone of contention
seems to have centered on the may
orally. The forces were marshalled
under the leadership of Col. A. I.
Bonafield and Capt. Jos. A. Miller.
Col. Bonafeld lead the Montgomery
forces and was met at the coal dump.
near the pond where our valued and
talented correspondent, "Bnl
Swade," promised TO duck Squire
Montgomery if he did not deliver
an inaugural address, leading the
Turner braves. 1t is alleged that
the battle ragged freely from early
morning until the sun went down.
Every art known to the Tunnelton
politician was resorted to in order TO
land victory on his banner. When
the sun went down and the votes
counted. it was found that Capt.
Miller had defeated Col. Bonafield
and his army and driven them into
the pond close by the dump house.
Gen. Samuel Bismark Montgomery,
who had never known political de-
feat, had met his Waterloo.
Thus are the Kingwood polite
ians who have endeavored to snow
Gen. Montgomery under for the
past year or two, given lesson in
politics by the old war horse, Capt
JOS. A. Miller, who met the King
wood Bosses at TOWNSVILLE not
many months ago that he is still a
past master in the science of politics.
The following ticket was elected:
FOR mayor,
ScoTT TURNER.
For Recorder,
GEO. CUMMINGS, Jr.
Conncilmen,
