Chicago, May 25.-Daniel Rock
Hill, a wealthy real estate owner
of Morris, H., and partner of the
firm of the George II. Phillips
Company, on the Chicago board
OF trade, was shot and seriously
wounded early to>day, as he lay
in bed at his residence, No. 797
Monroe street. Six shots were
fired, three taking effect, one be-
hind the left ear, one entering his
nose and the other shatterinp his
right arm.
Considerable mystery surrounds
the shooting. According t? Mrs.
Hill, she and her husband were
asleep, when Mr.. Hill was awaken
ed by the forcing of II lock on. the
bedroom door. He reached for his
revolver, but before he could use
it, three men rushed into the
room and fred at him. The first
shot awokc Mrs. Hill and she rush
ed to the window and shouted for
help. The police responded in n
few minutes, but in the meantime
the supposed burglars had made
their escape.

Hand. The Negro is at

Special to The State.
Rock H:ll. Another diabolical
CRIME was committed near here
yesterday or the day before.
Mr.. Richard Cornweli, one of
the prominent young farmers of
the harmony section, had been
away from home for several days
leaving his wife in charge. Dur
ing his absence Jess McCleunhan.
an, or jess Chick, as better known
who works for Cornwcll, went in
to the house and upon threat of
"slashing Mrs. Cornwel's throat
from ear to carr forced her to
submit to him. He would not let
her leave the house, and threatened,
if she told on him to killed her.
This morning as soon as MIR.
Cornwell came heme, his wife
told him of what had occurred.
He took his pistol and went to
the field, where he found the neg
ro. and emptied his gun at him.
The rcgro ran. Mr.. Cornwell
gathered uphis friends and getting
hounds followed the trail to the
house of an uncle ofChick's. They
could not trail further. It was
found that the horse from this
negroes place was gone. as was
also Henry Chick, the cousin of
the rapist. Three men from the
crowd, we'll armed, struck out for
Rock Hill, where the old man
claimed his SOP Henry, had gone
as be said to get the magistrates S
protection for Jess. These men
rode like the wind and got there
30 minutes after Henry Chick
hitGhed his horse in back lot.
He came oack to the horse and
was arrested and locked up. He
says Jess was shot in three places.
1t is believed that jess rode the
horse by the road, that Henry
came through near cuts on foot and
meeting Jess near town came In
on the horse, allowing his cousin
to escape. Hundreds of men are
searching adjacent grounds and the
streets, and everything will he

there was also one from the south

time to get in doors before the

BASE BALLIN MORGANTOWN.
Several TeamsNow Hold the fort here
and Players of no Little Ability
Mas0nt0Wn Coming Here Saturday.

The Morgantown baseball team went
to Mt. Morris Saturday to play game
of ball with the Mt. Morris team. The
sun was very bright that day and it
seemed TO have bad effect on the
eyes of the boys from the University
town, 10 fact it had such bad effect
on them that they could not see the
ball when at bat, at least that is what
the score shows.
The Morgantown boys ran into an
obstacle in the shape and form of one
Cannon, Cannon by name and a
cannon by nature The sweeps and
curves that this fellow used were ter
rifying to our boys, and when the
smoke and dust settled the score card
showed Mt. Morris I, Morgantown /.
The Morgantown bows outplayed
Mt. Morris in the field but it was due
to the fact that they had not been
used to batting at cannon balls that
the result of the game was as given
above.
Our boys play the Masontown Pa,
team here Saturday and as both teams
are in fine condition, there will, no
doubt be very interesting game of
ball. The boys will charge rs cents
admission to defray the expenses of
bringing the other team here.

Theatrical JOttings.

"Weary Willie Walker, which will
open the preliminary season at the
opera house, is one of the funniest
farces that will be offered this season,
being built up about the adventures
of a tramp; another Happy Hooligan."
1t will be here August % and the first
show OF the season will doubtless be
greeted by a packed house.
There is apparently no cad to the
original features that are having birth
In the minds of the melo-dramatic
managers. In "Along the Mohawk,
which is having its initial production
at Chicago this week, one of the
mechanical features is country news
paper printing press, which is operat-
ed during the second act Of the play
printing from plates typical country
newspaper that is distributed through
the audience at the close of the act.
The story of Walker Whiteside's
new play, 'In Days of old when
Knights were Bold" is romatic one,
the scene OF which is laid in Spain
during the early centuries and when
the Spaniards were at war with the
Moors. The title forms the first line
OF an old though familiar song called
IA Warrior Bold.n The air OF this
song will run through all the inciden-
tai music.
Charles Ell. Yale's sDevil's Auction"
is now in it's twenty-1rst year and is
among the Oldest productions now on
the road. The play is remodeled,
however, every season and never fails
to interest those who are in the habit
OF witnessing 1t yeal after year The
first appearance of this play at Nor
gantown will doubtless prove one Of
the theatrical events of the coming
season.

MORE PARTICULARS
In Regard to the Major Keener
Case

Uniontown News-Standard Gives Som,
Additional Particulars In Regard IL
the Proceedings in the Major Keenel
Case.
Some additional particulars in re
gard to the Major Keener case ar,
given in Mondays Uniontown News
Standard. The gist Of it all appeared
in this paper the same afternoon but
there are some additional particulars
in the News-Standard's version which
will be OF interest. 1t says:
"a News Standard representative
called on Major Keener at the jail
about noon today. He greeted the
reporter pleasantly, but stated that
be had nothing to say for publication
and refused to make any statement
whatever.
A habeas corpus hearing was held
before Judge Reppert at cham bers to-
day to have Keener admitted to bail.
The petition of ] L. Keener respect
fully represents that he Is unjustly
confined In the county jail, for some
criminal or supposed criminal matter,
and he applies to be relieved from inn
prisonment, praying that writ Of
habeas corpus be issued, according TO
act of assembly in such cases, and
that he be admitted to bail. The pc
tition was presented to Judge Reppert
at chambers and the writ granted
By request of the counsel the hearing
was continued until August l3 at IL
a. m.
A number of Keener's creditors
from Morgantown and Monongalia
county, W. Va. and from Greene
county, were here today, to attend the
hearing among them being Garrison
Mcclure, John Madigan, A. II. TAFT,
James Blair, Hon. George G. Baker,
A. Henderson and j. NJ. Hess, all OF
Morgantown; John Hall of Greene
county, Senator w. G. Morley of
Kingwood, James Hall and Emanuel
Wright of Monongalia county. These
gentlemen say they will have no trou-
BILE In proving that Keener beat them
out Of large sums of money in his
dealings with them. The charge
against Keener is false pretense and
enlightenment. He has been identl-
fed beyond a doubt.
Major Keener is represented by the
law firms of Lindsey & Johnson and
Robinson s. Mexican. His attorneys
think they have good case, They
say the whole thing is only ques-
ton of Keener not being able to meet
his Indebtedness. They say the gen
eral opinion that Keener now has a
large amount of money is all wrong,
as he owns no property in st. Louis
and his wife is there keeping boarders
The attorneys say he will have no
trouble in getting bail although he
will not be balled out until after his
hearing on Wednesday.
