HARRIS is DEAD
Lad on West Side Dies from
Strange Malady

His Mother Badly Bitten by him in one
of his Attacks of Madness-W0und
Serious Matter--Hydr0ph0bia or
Insanity Causes Death of Colored
boy.
Earl Harris is dead. He died on
Saturday night after several days OF
suffering from a peculiar malady.
The physicians have not yet been able
to determine the nature of the seizure.
An account of the case was given
exclusively in this paper on Saturday.
The lad was victim of a strange
disease which may have been either
hydrophobia or insanity. The end
came after several severe outbreaks
followed by stupor and wild delir-
ium.
affection of the brain. Shortly be-
fore he died his mother was severely
bitten in one OF the attacks of delir-
ium.
She was the only person in the
room when the lad tried to get out
of bed She seized him to hold him
in bed when he grabbed her arm in
his mouth and bit her savagely.
The wound has been cauterized and
cleansed in the best possible manner
but it is bad one. Wounds from
people who are merely sick are bad
enough without hayingthe hydophobic
symptoms.
The funeral of the victim will take
place on Tuesday. This afternoon
an investigation will be made to dis
cover II possible the exact nature Of
the malady from which the lad died.

This Summer.
A corps of surveyors is at work on
Cheat river. They are for the most
part from Clarksburg. The gentle

little to say to a New DOMINION man
who saw them but from every indi-
cation were to make survey up the
river
They have started down below
Uneva and are working towards
Rowlesburg. What the B e. 0. Is
to do with the Cheat river valley is
not understood at present.
The gang that is working on the
survey went into camp today and
will move up the valley making the
survey as they go. They have been
staying at Mont Chateau.
Several railroads have been pro
jeeted to work through this valley
and some of them have made sur
yeys. Just the other day a charter
was granted to any road along the
river. Some of these days there will
be railroad there and it may not
be very long until this occurs.
A dance was given at Mont Cha
teau on Saturday night and it was
well attended. Turner'S orchestra
furnished the music. Many of those
who went over remained until Sun
day evening.
Col. McDermott and c. w. Huston
will shortly begin the erection of a
club house on Cheat. This will be
built near the mouth of Quarry Run
and will be modern in every partic
ular. The club will be quite an adj

The present season is expected to
prove to be one of the best ever ex
perienced on the river and prepare
tions are being made to entertain
large crowds of visitors. 1t is prob
able that the old Brown place will

Warm Contest-.All Sorts of Charges

thing possible to get votes. The
fight he waged is declared by the
Sturglss people TO have been disgrace
fal. Bribery and corruption was open
and defiant There was no attempt
at concealment.
The first returns indicated that he
would have much larger majority
than the last figures received show
that he got. The final figures were
but SO in his favor with all Of the
precincts in. The returns were can
vassed this morning by the executive
committee and it was found that he
had won.
This gives him II votes. If he can
capture the votes Of Marion county he
will be nominated for the senate in
this district. Mr. Sturgiss was seen
by representative OF this paper this
morning and asked about the matter.
He had very little to say about Tay-
lor but stated that the fight had
merely been transferred from Taylor
to Marion.
He said that he had thirty votes
and Swisher hal 81. The fight will
take place in Marion county to settle
who shall be named. The winner viii
