woman to the hospital in Baltimore,
and on his way home dropped into

WANTS CHAIRMAN FLYNN TO RE-
SIGN

EDITOR ARGUS AS a Republi-
can who believes that all candidates
should be placed on an equal foot
ing that one candidate should not
have an undue advantage over an
other, l ask space to call attention
to the Republicans of Preston
county to the fact that Mr.. James
w. Flynn, who is a candidate for
Clerk of the Coudty Court, is also
chairman of the Republican Com
mittee. In spirit of fairness 1
submit that Mr.. Flynn should re-
sign the craftsmanship so as toplace
him on an equal footing with Mr..
Walls.
1t is conceded fact that Mr..
Flynn, as chairman, occupies a
position whereby he can influence
voters. Those familiar with politics
will not deny that there are ques
tions coming up before the Com
mittee which can be used 10 the
advantage of the various candidates.
But not being personally interested
the Committee can, and will, be
just to all.
We therefore respectfully ask
that Mr.. Flynn resign the chairman
ship and the Committee elect an
other chairman.
Mr.. Flynn cannot object to this,
as he has an excellent precedent in
the neighboring county Of Monon-
gala, where under similar circum-
stances, the Republican chairman,
who was a candidate, called the
Committee together and resigned,
stating that he believed in fairplay :
that he recognized that it would
not be fair or just to his opponent
for him to retain the Craftsmanship.
Mr.. Flynn cannot afford 10 be
less generous and honorable to his
opponent, Mr.. Walls.

FARMER HAS DESPERATE
ENCOUNTER WITH BEAR.
Engaged Bruin In Fight With Pitch
fork, In Which Both We're
Wounded
SPECIAL 70 the Reglstcr.

SPECIAL to the Register.
RoNCEvERTE, w. Va, March 40.
M. +. Pell, a farmer living on
Cheat river. near Kingwood, Pres
ton county, this State, had a des-
perate encounter with a large black
bear IN his barnyard. Bruin had
come down from the mountains in
quest of something TO eat and had
wandered into the stock yard of
Farmer Pell. The latter was husk-
ing corn in the barn when the bear
poked his nose in the door, uttering
a menacing growl at the same time.
Evidently ne was nearly starved, as
he advanced toward the farmer,
who, grabbing pitchfork, gave
battle. He struck at the animal,
Catching him in the shoulder with
the sharp prongs, and from that on
II was a rough and tumble fight, in
which both the bear and Pell were
badly wounded. Bleeding from
many wounds. Pell finally escaped
20 the house and the bear broke for
the woods. He was tracked later
by hunters to cave, where it is
supposed he died from his wounds.
The above lie makes good read
ing and we publish it as a fair sam
pie Of what the enterprising West
Virginia newspaper liarand fakir can
do when he tries himself, and why
a paper that pretends to be a news
paper and makes any claim to be-
ing reliable, would publish such
stuff or tolerate such fakirs on its
reportorial list, is more than we can
understand. If the Registers tele-
graph editor knew anything at all,
he would know at once that there
was something wrong about dis
patch sent in from Ronceverte, way
down in Grecpbrier county on the
c. & 0. railroad, in regard to what
happened near Kingwood, in Pres
ton county. The only foundation
for the whole thrilling encounter as
related above, was a local in The
Argus of March 9th, month ago,
about Mr.. Pell finding a bear track
near the house one morning. No
body even saw any bear, and now
after months delay, some enter
prising fakir gets hold of this inno-
cent local and manufactures a blood
curdling account of farmer PelPs
desperate battle with a big black
bear and his escape to the house.
bleeding from many wounds, and
the up to-date Register publishes it
with big head lines. How farmer
Pell will be surprised when he reads
Of his many wounds.

was very wealthy, being several
