STORY OF A PLAIN OLD COMMON

fhatwas Hungry Mt the Dcpoi-RaiI.

From The Fairmont Times.
1t was only a Hound Not the Hound OF
the Baskerviiles-just an ordinary old fox
Hound OF the Browns The hound was
boxed up and the box placed on a truck
at the depot, and its destination was a
Pennsylvania town. The poor hound was
hungry
This story of the hound is true and a
pathetic little story which Is 20 the point.
II. Glenn Fleming of this city happened
along at the depot Saturday night and saw
the hound cooped up. painting. hungry and
thirsty. There was no humane officer in
sight, but Mr. Fleming acted as humane
o!hcer and took ii upon himself to get
water and becfsteak for the hound The
train was almost due. Iut he hurried into
the depot and got some water and poured
IL into the pan in the hounds box. He
.hen hurried over TO the Tavern and got
some well done beefsteak and the hungry
dog ate. drank and became merry. AL.
though lie did not raise his voice in thank.
funess. he did wag his tail busily. and Mr..
Fleming fel: rewarded. The hound had
been on the railroad four days. being
shipped from Kingwood by Mr.. w. G..
Brown to friend 10 Pennsylvania. The
trainmen had been neglccifu and the
hound had nothing to eat after the original
supply was exhausted. II was a little thing
to do. but this act also places Mr.. Fleming
IN the ranks OF heroes II was no safe
task to ram his hands into the box where
that savage hound stood ready to tear his
hands for all he knew.

SENATORIAL CONVENTION.

The Republican Senatorial Con
vention for this district met at Terra
Alta yesterday and was a very tame
affair after all. 1t was thought tina,
Col. Sam Montgomery of Tunnel
ton, would stir up a contest, bu,
they bluffed him out and persuaded
him not to run.
The convention convened at II
a. m. aud organized. Hon. Julius
Scherr of Eglon, was made tempo
rary Chairman, and Hon. w. c..
Conley of Parsons. temporary Sec
rotary, and temporary organization
made permanent. Then the con-
vention adjourned for dinner and
assembled at 1890 and got down to
business. ]. w. Flynn was elected
the member of the Executive Com
mitteee for this county. Hon. L..
J. Forman of Petersburg, Grant
county, was then nominated for the
State Senate without any opposition,
Col. Montgomery declining to go
before the convention. The Co.oncl
had good prospects, and with this
county solid for him, he could have
gotten the nomination, as he only
needed nine votes, and had the
promise of eight, but as some of
the delegates from Preston were
pledged to Forman before Mont
gomery came out, he decided TO not
allow his name presented. Forman
was called for and made a good
speech accepting the nomination.
Col. Montgomery also was called
out and stirred up the crowd as
usual. The best speech of the con-
vention was made by Judge Francis
Reynolds of Keyser, in nominating
Formsn.
Resolutions were passed endors-
ing Dayton, Elkins and Scott.
There was some hitch on the Scott
business, but Chairman Scherr be-
ing a Scott man, rushed it right
through. There was a fairly good
attendance and every county of the
FIVE in the district was represented,
although there was but one man
from Hardy county, and he was APP
pointed on all the committees.
