THIS MAN WAS SLICK.
Lindsay Ford-The Team is Restored
TO the Owners and Ford is Now
Minus Both Money and Team.

A pretentious Young man of slight
build came to Martlnsburg the first
of the week and registered at the Con-
t1nental Hotel. His name is @. e.
Warnlck. He is no stranger. for he
has relatives in the county and has
been here before.
| The man represented himself as be-
ing travelling passenger agent for the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company
and BY reason of his relationship in
the county and the faith that was put
| in what he said, he was trusted as an
honest fellow.
| He turned out to be far from hon.
est, however His dishonesty is only
exceeded bv his cleverness. He hired
rubber tire runabout and one of the
best horses in the stables of G A.
Cofman and Son, the livervmen,
and started out he said, to pay a visit
tn his relatives in the county. That
is. the last that has been seen OF him.
! Instead of visiting his relatives he
made il his business to sell the hired
horse and rInabout, together wi tn
the harness, whip, laprobe and every
thing that was with the hired team.
He found a buyer in Lind say Ford, a
nergo, living at NiDetown, who
agreed to pay him $50 for the outfit.
The deal was made. Ford paid
him all the money h e could at that
tine for the team $50 it is said
and Warnick was to return next Mon
day and get the rest of the money due
him. Warwick took the money and
skipped to parts unknown, leaving
the Messrs Cotfman minus a team and
Proprietor Dodd minus the money
for his board at the Continental.
On FRIDAY the Nessrs Coffman, who
had become anxious about their team,
learned of the deal and last evening
| j. II. Coffman. in company with Offs
Ger Hardy, started out for Nlpetown,
The-Ifound Ford. who gave up the
team. and now he is minus his fine
horse and buggy, also about SS5 in
money.

ton Otherwise another caucus viii

mentarians said:

when he finally boarded the Deutsch-
land at Kew York. that he slept almost
continuously for forty-eight hours, eX-
cept for the time he appeared for his
meals or TO take short walks on the
bridge. He says he never worked so
hard in his life as when ne was in the
United States, that he never changed
his uniform so many times day or
