TWO CENTS
SAVED ELKINS' LIFE.
Younger Brothers Who Want
TO be Parolled.

They Have Served Long Terms In the
penitentiary Senator Elkins was
Captured by Confederates When the
Outlaws SaYed His Life lie Partial
ly Confirms The story.
AsHINGToN, ID. c., May 9.-An
interesting story is published by the
Washington Post to-day purporting to
give history OF Senator Elkins' in
terest in connection with the pardon
Of James and Cole Younger, who are
Ia peitentlary.
The two Youngers are the sole SUR
viyofs Of the famous Mortified tank
raid, when the Jesse James gang ac-
eompanied by the Youngers dashed
through the west terrorizing the peo-
pie and robbing banks. 1t is claimed
that Senator ElKins has known the
Younger boys ever since he resided In
Missouri, some forty years ago.
When the war broke out Elkins en-
listed on the union side, while some
OF his family took up the cause Of the
south. Early in the first campaign
Elkins, so the stories say, was captur-
ed by confederates and was about TO
be executed when he discovered that
Cole and Bob Younger and Frank and
Jesse James were members Of the
Quantrell expedition which had cap
tured him. Having known Elkins
from boYhood, the Youngers inter-
coded foi him, but without avail.
Finally, Just before Elkins was order
ed to be turned over TO the guard,
there was hurry-up call to arms and
the Quantrell band had been attack
ed. Elkins was placed upon horse
aud hurried forward with the rest OF
the Quantrell band by some hook or
crook.
Cole Younger managed to get next
TO Elkins and when they came TO a
fork in the road Younger said to him:
Nov, Steve, run TO the left and ride
for your lifen Elkins followed this
advice and escaped to the union lines.
1t Is further stated that ever since
their Imprisonment In the Minnesota
state prison Elkins has been Jealous
in their behalf.
Elkins is in the city to-day and
correspondent called his attention to
this sensational story which is com
spienousy displayed on the front page
Of the Post. Senator Elkins said:
II will give you the true history OF
that event later on. 1t is long time
ago and of course / will have to re-
fresh my memory ! will say at the
outset, however, that the story is ex-
aggerated and many things in it are
not true.

Current RumOr.

FAlRMoNT, May "a report has
been circulated here that the street
car company had purchased right of
way through Odgen avenue property
in order to circle the fair ground.
which in the near future would be
converted into park. T. Fitzgerald
manager OF the street car line, when
asked this morning regarding the
matter, said there was not the Slight
est truth in the report sin time, .
he said, perhaps we will extend our
line in that direction, but the extern
sion Of the line that we intend to
erect now is to connect with the pres
ent terminus OF the road line at Wat
son, and make a connection with the
Clarksburg line" The same parties
are interested in the Clarksblrg line
as the one here. Fitzgerald also says

it has arrived for the extension Of the

UNIVERSITY NOTES.
Cadet Corps to be Inspected by
u. S. Officers.

Major Burns has Received Notice Of his
Coming He wilt be here in a Short
Time-Target Practice and Later
Drills to Begin-0ther news Notes
From the Big School.
Major j. NJ. Burns has been aotiaed
that Captain Adelbert Cronkhite of
the artillery corps will visit Morgan
town shortly to inspect the cadet
corps some time this month. The
MAJOR has written TO him that it will
suit any time between the fifteenth
and the thiFtieth The inspection
could not be made by the regular in
speetor this year as he has been sent
TO Cuba to look after some other bust
ness and cannot get here.
Target practice begins on Friday
afternoon. 1t will be held Friday
afternoons and Saturday mornings
until the close OF the season. The
bad weather has prevented it being
held before this time Members of
the second section are the one who
take the practice. There are usually
fifteen or twenty young men in this
section.
Orders have bee n issued for drills
after supper by the cadet corps. They
drill from six thirty to seven thirty
each regular drill hight. This is
done because OF the heat which Is be-
coming factor to the young fellows.
It gives them the afternoon solid and
they uced lose but little time under
the new plan.
All arrangements have been made
for the game with Pittsburg High
school on Saturday. There will be a
good turn out and the boys expect to
win out. They are playing much
better game than they did to start on

in the chapel exercises aud inspecting
the buildings. They were very much
pleased with what they saw at the
big school.
A large number of applications are
being made for the positions OF teach
ers IN the Philippines which have
been advertised recently. Many Of
the graduates of the University want
to go. As a result the very best
| talent will be procured for the work
which is most important one.
The editors Of the annual have re-
ceived nearly all the cuts that are 20

Parkersburg Journal Makes
some Hits and Misses

The Mark few Times also Startling
Story about Captain Casteel which Ii
Partially True He Missed his Exam.
ination but viii so up Later to Take
1t.
The Parkersnarg Journal of yester-
day published the following:
Because OF the delay OF letter
Capt. ID. r. e. Casteel, Of Morgrn-
town, who was one of the officers In
the volunteer army who was recon-
mended for a commission as captain
in the regular army, may lose the
place that it is his ambition 10 I'LL
Captain Casteel recently returned
from the Philippines. During his
absence, all his mail was sent to the
office Of the adjutant general OF the
state and forwarded 10 him Col.
Hutson had the authority TO open his
mail and yesterday at Charleston,
that officer received and opened let
ter addressed to Capt, Casteei that
was from the war department. 1t
was written on April 18th, received at
the Charleston postof1iee April 18th
and was not delivered TO the adiatant
generals office till yesterday, May It'll.
The letter was an order to Capt. Cas-
teel to report at Fortress Monroe on
April 9th, to appear before an exam
lining board, which is composed OF
twenty or more army officers FROM va
rious stations in the country. Capt.
Casteel, 1T appears, was the only man
summoned TO appear before 1t to stand
an examination for captains com
mission in the regular army, all the
Others summoned being lieutenants.
What comment his non-appearanee
created or what action was taken in
reference to it, Capt Casteel does not
know. but he is now trying to find
out. lie had been at home patiently
awaiting the order which came and
which remained in the Charleston
postotfice for such an unusual length
Of time. IL was never advertised aud
the postmaster at Charleston cannot
explain why or how the letter was de-
laYed. The entire affair is very en-
barassing one to Capt. Casteel and,
because of the red tape that prevails
in the military department., 1t may be
very difficult matter for Capt Gas.
teel TO get the difficulty Strengthened
out satisfactory.
Capt. Casteel was shown the above
when he stated that his letter had not
been opened and that the information
given WAS largely untrue. The date
set for the examination was on April
22nd. The letter lay in the Charles
ton postof1ice until the 7th of May
having been received there on April
18th. A telegram to the President OF
the board which is composed of five
officers instead Of twenty resulted in
his being ordered up on June third.
He is TO take the examination for a
first lieutenancy instead Of cap
taincy. How the delay was caused is
probably due TO inattentlon in the
Charleston postoflice as the letter
should have been turned oyer to the
Adjutant Generals office at once. No
serious effects are expected TO follow
the matter.

FATALLY INJURED.
]. A. Grove, a Railroader Ter
ribly Mangled.

At MOrgantoWn Glass Works at Noon
To-Day-He was a New Man on his
First Trip His Home is at Roanoke,
Va. Shoulder, Several Ribs and
Back Broken with internal I'M uries.
At noon Thursday J. A. Groves, a
railroad man was caught and terri
bly, hurt at the Morgantown Glass
Works. He /. was or his first
trip, being new man engaged as a
local freight brakeman. The in
jured man is in the Hartigan Hos
pitsl.
The train was going into the
switch at the glass works to get
some cars when the accident occur
red. Grove was on the steps Of a
box car and was caught between the
platform and the car. He was rolled
clear around between the two.
Train men saw him and stopped
the engine. However tue space was
so narrow that he could not be re-
moved and the engine had to be re
versed and the man rolled around
again until he came to the end of
the platform.
While this was going on he suf-
fered terribly and received injuries
that will IN all likelihood result ia
tally Examination showed that
his shoulder was broken His back
was mashed INTO a pulp and several
ribs broken. They penetrated his
lungs causing terribly agony.
He was at once taken TO the Har
tigan hospital but his condition was
such that his INJURIES cannot be full
~ discovered at present. There
seems to be very little chance for his
recovery.
Grove is from Roanoke, Va, and
was making his first trip He was
being instructed in his duties and
did not notice the closeness of the
platform to the car until he was
caught. He is a man apparently
about % years Of age. Nothing
further could be learned about him.

PARKERSBURG IN 1T.
Charleston Paper says that Parkers-
burg Now has a Chance for the En-
camnmpnf


The Charleston Mail Tribune
which is regarded as the official or
gan of the administrator has the
following to say of interest here:
The Governor was busy on routine
matters and had no appointments,
or other matters of public interest
to announce. A question that he
will have to decide soon is the mat
ter of the annual eneampment of the
West Virginia National Guard. For
some time the impression has been
out that the encampment would go
to Wheeling. chiefly for reasons that
no other place seemed to have any
particular deslre to have it. But
now all this is changed. Parkers-
burg is in the ring and Wheeling
will have a foeman worthy of her
steel There is one thing about Par
kersburg that all must admire, and
that is the vim and enthusiasm with
which she throws her whole soul in
to the things that she goes after.
While the Governor was at home
last Sunday delegation of Wheel
ingites called upon him in behalf of
drawing the prize The Parkers
burg people claim that the senti-
ment of the Guard, to great extent,
so far as heard from, is in favor of
their city.

One Of the things that is bothering
the new city fathers is the question
Of police. The various towns will
have TO be looked after and the COM
mittee ia charge is composed OF ane
