Dudley Johnson and Ben Foster
were inside the store and Russell
Gates and Harry Mills were guarding
the outside. Johnson was holding q
revolver at AleXander's head while
his attention was attracted mo.
mentarily. Like flash Alexander

Citizens were attracted by the
shooting and the burglars ran. Later
they were captured and removed 10

Of Sportsmen Control the Finest front
Stream I'm the State and Has Game


Of sportsmen Control the Finest front
Stream I'm the State and Has Game
Preserves.
There has been quietly In process
of organization for some time past
what will undoubtedly be the finest
and most exclusive sportsman's
club In the State of West Virginia,
or indeed In this entire section Of
the country. We have been aware
of the movement for the organiza.
ton of this club since Its inception,
bat 1t was not deemed advisable to
give the matter publicity until the
projectors had completed their real
estate transactions and secured title
to the properties to be included In
the clubs domain. This has been
done. The name Is "The Hampshire
Sportsman's Club" and Its proper
ties are located about four miles
from Romney, w. Va, In the di
rection of the Trough" and the
club house will be located near the
south bank of the famous South
Branch of the Potomac river. The
club has been incorporated, Its cap.
ital stock being $4,000, divided
into shares of $500 each, only one
of which can be purchased by each
member of the club. Over $22, 900
of the stock has already been taken
by members. The club has pur-
chased the famous Trout Run"
and on Its banks the buildings OF
the club are to be erected. Trout
Run Is the only trout stream In
that vicinity. It Is ten miles in
length, has Its sources In the noun.
tains at an elevation OF 1000 feet,
and empties into the South Branch.
The source Is In Big Mountain,
near the famous DEVILS Hole. and
the stream, from source to mouth,
Is now owned by the club, which
has also purchased several small
farms, upon one of which Is peach
orchard of over 1000 trees and
large apple orchard.
Trout RIM Is located In and pas.
ses through what Is perhaps the
best hunting section of West Vir-
ginia, and wild turkeys and deer
are numerous, while there are also
some bear and catamounts.
The club Is now contracting for
the erection of the main club build
ing, to cost about ten thousand
dollars, and 1t will be ready for oc-
cupancy by the middle of June.
The fittings and furniture will
all be In shape, and stables and
other necessary buildings COM
pleted, so that the dedication can
take place on July q, 1902.
The club house will be rustic In
style, the lower story of natural
bark covered logs, and the second
with shingled exterior. In addi-
ton to the large and commodious
general club rooms on the first
floor there will be about twenty
five large bed rooms, all opening
on the broad porches, which ex-
tend around the building, where
members and their families can en-
joy themselves. The organization
has adopted rules similar to those
of the Fort Henry club, of Wheel
Ing, so far as applicable. The club
will own Its own vehicles, and will
probably run an automobile be-
tween the clubhouse and Romney
for the accommodation of members
and quests. The club will also have
a fine game preserve. 1t will be
an ideal spot for the enjoyment by
the club members of the most de
lightful summer outings in the
mountains.

A very pleasant surprise was tender
ed Miss Lenore Robleeprincipal Of the
West Maikato school, by the teach
ers of the building after school hours
in one of the rooms. A very elabor-
ate spread was made, consisting of
fruit and confectionery. Miss Roblee

railway project, hoped it would be
put through, but was irreconcilable in
his determination to fight the lighting
contract. Mr.. Meagher frankly ad-
mitted that the suit was brought to
protect the bondholders of the Manka-
to Gas and Electric Light company, as
he said that he felt moral obligation
to protect their interests in every
way possible.
1t is now up to the people of Man
kato to move without fear or favor.
Mr.. Meagher's admission today clears
the field of any mist. The suit IL
brought, not as tax payers grievance
but as corporation effort to control
the lighting of the city. If the people
mean anything by their action and
efforts they mean that under no cir
cumstances will the present company
get renewal of the contract for city
lighting, ssand that commercial lighting
will be transferred to another com
pany at the first possible opportunity
In answer to plain question, Mr.
Meagher said that he should stand
steadfast on this suit and fight it t.
the bitter end 1t now remains t.
be seen whether 10, 600 people will la.
down or fight.

A London dispatch says that

granted their independence. In a

says that the granting of indepen-

opportunity and he then proceeds to
paint very black picture of matters
there. But Mr.. Carnegie seems to
allow his good judgment to be carried
away by his feelings. The different
tribes upon those islands could never
agree, and anarchy would prevail in q
little while. America would have to
stand as protector, which would be
! far worse for us, than the position we
now occupy, while in reality it would
prove of no advantage to the Philip
pines. Mr.. Carnegie, like Senator
Hoar, is a we'll meaning man, but IN
this respect he seems very much mis-
taken. The American people had
great confidence in the good judgment
of President Mckinley, and they have
equal confidence in President Roose

to die poor by using his money to buy

A STRONG STAND.
Merchants Declare Themselves
on Railway Matter.
Patronage Pledged to New Compa ny,
and the City Councils Ac-
ton Endorsed.

At a special meeting of the Mer-
chants Protective association held Fri
day at the board of trade room in
the city hall, after general discus
sion of the railway and lighting ques-
tion, the following resolutions were
passed:
Whereas, For years the growing
commercial interests of the city of
Mankato have demanded the construc-
tion of street railway, and through
the united and earnest efforts Of the
municipal authorities of this city and
of the citizens generally, movement
for the construction of street rail
way in this city and line of railway
connecting the city with Kasota and
st. Peter, and the installation of an
electric lighting plant, had reached a
point where success seemed assured
and
Whereas, The proposed enterprise,
| if carried to successful conclusion,
would immeasurably benefit the in
terests of this city, increase its wealth
and taxable property and do more for
the general welfare and development
of the city than any other possible
Influence or enterprise, and the defeat
of the present enterprise, by whatever
means, would undoubtedly destroy all
hope of this city securing a street rail-
way for many years to come; there
fore be it
Resolved, That we support the pro-
posed new enterprise and give all the
, encouragement in our power to the
Mankato and st. Peter railway and
Lighting company, and we recon-
3 mend the withdrawal of all patronage
. from any institution or people who
have or may put distractions in the
way of the desired success of the street
4 railway and new lighting project, and
Q that to the new company be pledged
g all the patronage we can give to or
:, control for them.
Resolved, further, That we endorse
' the action of the common council OF
e the city heretofore taken in the
q premises and we hereby tender our un-
= divided support to them in theil
u efforts to advance the interests anC
Q progress of the city along the line
Il suggested.
Il The resolutions as originally intro
:. duced referred to John B. Meagher
l. in particular, but they were consider
5s ably amended and as passed do no
10 limit the reference to Mr.. Meagher
rs During the discussion it was brough
" out that the association is in favor O.
another lighting company or nun
icipal plant in case the street railwa.
= project should be defeated.
Judge Torrey, Hans Jorgenson an
others expressed themselves on Nr
ct Meagher's suit in strong terms.
j. The only other subject considers
10 was that of insurance rates on mer
chandise, etc. Jay Henry Long wa
10 made chairman of the special commit
st tee which is Investigating the matter
ct 1t is hoped to get the % per cent rails
- made in March taken off, and perhap
still further reduction secured, as 1t
reported to be the case at Owatonn

IuNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET.
A Pleasant Occasion Except for One
lInpIeasant Feature.

The senior class of the high scnool
was entertained at banquet at the
high school building last Saturday by
the Junior class. The affair was very
pleasant one, and greatly enjoyed by
all.
The occasion was marred by one
unpleasant incident, and that was the
conduct of two young fellows, not
students in the school, who intruded
on the occasion and made themselves
generally disagreeable by their con-
duct. When Supt. Uline asked them
to depart or conduct themselves as
gentlemen they became defiant. He
found it necessary to call in the SER
vices of police officer.
The young men pleaded guilty 10
the charge of disorderly conduct in
the police court this afternoon and
paid So. 65 each. The high respect in
which their families are held alone
causes us to withhold their names.
