ROBBERS sAELL 0uT TREIR sOOTY
Upon Nj. COnnslI's Threat to run The
Entire Gang Away From the City.

Clarence Smith, Of Moundsville,
who came here few days ago to do
some cornice work on the Lowndes
building and NJ, f. Connell and John
Cornwell's saloon, ran up against
some men who engage in questionable
practices for the Almighty dollar, even
to DOWNRIGHT robbery. A trick card
game, case of held up your hands
while your pockets are ransacked, or
any other old thing they can put you
through to get your stun" sunless.
1t matters not how they get your
coin, just so they get 1t. One of the
gangs steerers ran across Smith SUN
day afternoon and allured him to
Primrose Flats, place on Main street
notorious for the dark deeds of evil
done. They then feeced him OF his
gold watch, after which they had no
more use for him. Smith complained
to Mr.. Connell and gave him q
description of the place. Later in the
day Connell ran across one of the gang
and warned him that II the watch
was not forthcoming he and his
friends would run them out of town,
even If violence had to be resbrted to.
That threat brought the watch In
jitSy and nothing further was done In
the matter. Members OF this gang
are said TO he in actual business here,
and, II they do not want to be ex-
posed and even prosecuted, their
deeds of evil should be cease Inn
mediately. The people are tired Of
them and their practices.

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM WRECK
---- -------
A Head.End Collision Occurred
Sunday Night on 3. q o. just
WestofAdamston between
Passenger and Freight
Trains.
Freight Repairing
On Main Track
Being Done at the time fast Mail
was due to come Speeding
aIongat 40 miles a minute.

Cork straight" on the Baltimore \
Ohio railroad half mile west Of the
AdamSton depot seems to behoodooed.
Only two weeks ago big freight
wreck was narrowly averted there,
the putting moguls stopping within a
very few feet apart, and last Sunday
night an appalling freight aud pasSen-
ger wreck was averted only by the
keen eye and presence OF mind of the
engineeron the passenger train. A
collision actually occurred but fortu-
nately the damage was slight and only
one person sustained injury.
East bound No. fast mail in charge
Of Albert Lucas, engineer, and Con
ductor Johnson, and the first freight
of No. 81. Ike Weekly engineer and
Conductor Ford In charge, we're the
trains which collided. The accident
occurred at 9:44 O'Clock at point
Just west OF the bridge west Of Adam
ston. Engineer Lucas on No. sight
ed the freight as his train ran down
the "Stralght" at rapid speed and
reversed his engine and brought it to
a standstill just as 1t came in contact
with the freight engine. The pilots
of both engines were smashed and
some other slight damage was done.
The passengers were badly shaken up
and Engineer Lucas received cut on
an arm in jumping but was able to
take his train to Grafton. The two
crews deserted their posts by jumping
and escaped injury.
The freight crew received orders
here to take siding at Wilsonburg for
No. 4 and had 20 minutes in which t.
make the run of four miles. The en-.
gineer claims that, while the train
was taking water at the water tank
at Adamston, parties tempered with
the air-brakes and that the train lad
been brought almost to a standstill u
get the brakes In working order, wher
the collision occurred, and that a flag
man had been sent ahead. The engin
eer on No. 4, however, did not see the
fagman. No. 4 had orders to meet thu
freight ut Wilsonburg and not to pas
that point until $40 O'Clock Thl
orderas to time was, evidently, obey
ed.
The fast train was heavily loadet
with passengers enroute to the presi
Dental Inauguration and because o
this, the carelessness manifest wa
vicious, malicious and criminal. Twr
minutes Of time for the freight woulc
have changed the site of collision t,
the cut east of Wilsonburg and tillet
it with awful wreckage and dea,
bodies. The party or parties responsl
BILE for this wreck should not only b
dismissed from the service but pun
lshed severely for carelessneSs.

Salem Theater Fire.
