and supplies used in trap shooting. Sc
he is naturally interested in getting !,

to create it himself So when Tommy
blew into town last Thursday he
brought with him Capt. George f..
bartlett, Il renowned gun. rifle and
pistol shot, to show the boys how easy
the thing is done.
Some of the nimrods were invited to
shoot that afternoon and there was
quite good sized crowd there to see
the sport. The shooting. of course.
was pretty poor. few of them being in
practice and most of the gunncrs. while
able to drop a sage hen on the hy.
couldn't follow the curves of the blue
rock as it sailed through the air. Capt.
Bartlett's shooting, however, was fault
less and if by chance the blue rock was
broken he would shoot at one of the
small pieces and pulverize it. After
the trap shooting Capt. Bartlett gave a
very pretty exhibition of rifle shooting,
hitting coins and other small missiles
thrown into the air.
In the evening a meeting was held
at Wright & Grierson's office and it
was decided to organize Il club and
purchase two additional traps. besides

That he is now alive to tell the story
is due to his pluck and endurance.
Thompson was in charge of band

when he was bitten. He is the owner
of a pet lynx and seeing a jack rabbit
enter a hole, concluded to get supper

and struck his fangs into Thompson $

ICE FAMINE
In FORSYTH
Supply for Family Trade Already Elk
hausted, But Enough is on
Hand For the Whole
sale Trade.

Ice is a trivial matter when you can
get your ice regularly through the sum
mer months, but if by chance the source
OF supply is cut off as it is in FORSYTH
at the present time, it becomes serious
problem with the house holder. The
ice famine struck Forsyth on Monday
and unless arrangements are made to
bring in ice very soon the good house
wives will have to get along as best
they can by utilizing such cool storage
places as they may be able to command
tor keeping their milk, butter and other
perishable products from spelling.
The dealers who supply the town
with ice assert that they have on hand
barely enough fill their store and
saloon contracts for the rest Of the sea-
son and there is no prospect OF obtain
ing any more at prices people would
be willing to pay.
The present famine is not due to a
shortage in the ice crop or negligence
in the storing of the ice, but TO the un-
precedented demand throughout the
hot weather.
More people have been using ice this
year than last and although a larger
quantity was put up, it has fallen far
short of the requirements.

Want Annexation.

In view OF the fact that the most OF
the municipal measures submitted to
the West Virginia legislature for the
relief of towns in the Panhandle, and
particularly in Wheeling, have been
defeated, citizens have revived the
old scheme for annexation to Pennsyl-
vania. The Panhandle people say
that they pay two-thirds of the States,
taxes, yet every Legislature expresses
the utmost disregard of their wishes.
Several years ago matters became SO
strained that the Wheeling and Ohio
county authorities appointed a com
mission to look into the possibility OF
securing annexation to Pennsylvania
to which they say they are bound in
dustrially and commercially.

An Infant
Rival for the Bell.

1t is probable that in less than a
year Martinsburg will have long dis
lance telephone connection in all di-
rections and covering wide territory
independent of the Bell system. Plans
are now on foot to connect indeDen-
dent telephone lines in Maryland,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Vir-
ginia so as to form system Of this
character and it is said on good au-
thority that there is plenty of capital
back of the project.
Gentlmen from Baltimore interested
in the promotion of the consolidation
of the independent companies have
been in this city during the past few
days inquiring into the standing of
the Winchester Co. and ascertaining
the amount of business of that Com
pany 1t is understood that they
have gone so far as to get some idea of
the probable price they would have to
pay the company TO secure their
lines or the terms on which they would
become part of the consolidation.
The plan under consideration and
which has practically been determin-
ed upon, is to run a line from Balti-
more through Hartford county, Md. j,
and the towns of Hanover, York,
Harrisburg, ETC., in Pennsylvania to
Pittsburg. From the latter city
there is an Independent long dis
lance telephone system extend
ing far into the West Another
line will be run from Baltimore,
through Frederick to Hagerstiown,
and then to Winchester, Va. From
Winchester, Va. there is connection as
far South as Raleigh, N. G.
Westminster, in Carol county, is
also to be connected with this system
but whether it will be taken in ON the
line running from Baltimore to Han
over or the one running through Fred
erick is not yet determined. The two
lines will, of course, connect in Balti-
mere
New wires, forming through line,
will beTstrung for the long distance
service
The biggest company in this project
is the Maryland Telephone Company
of Baltimore. President Webb, of
that company is the chief promoter of
the plan. The Maryland Telephone
Company is doing large business in
Baltimore and lately put in a 800, 600
switchboard. 1t also has large inter
ests in the city of Harrisburg, Pa
and is now seeking a franchise for
establishing system in the city of
Washington, ID. G. A bill granting
the desired Franchise has already been
introduced in the United States SEN
ate and if it is passed by Congress and
signed by the President the cities on
the new long distence circuit will
have connection with the nationl cap
ital.
There is every prospect that the
plan will be successfully carried out
and that the new system will be in
operation before the next fall

Burglars.

Mr.. Frank A. Minor, of S. Maple
avenue, has new way of shooting
at burglars. His neighbors tell that
they were Weakened from their slum-
Der during the early hours of yester
day morning by the report of a revolt
yer.
Many of the residents of the neigh
borhood were awakened by the noise
and many heads were leaning out of
as many windows to find the cause of
the disturbance of their sleep at that
hour of the night.
Mr.. Minor explained matters by stat
ing that he had heard noise at the
back door of the house and he believ-
ed that burglars were trying to enter
the house. When he heard the noise
at the rear of the house he raised a
window in the front of the house and
fred. Whether or not he intended to
shoot around the corner at the bur
glars and why he did not shoot out
a rear window has not been explain
ed.
If the noise was made by burglars
the firing of the revolver must have
had the desired effect anyhow, for
no trace of burglars could be found
in the morning.

occupant of the house ran into the
street and called for assistance. A.
message was sent by phone to the
