TOO CORPULENT
Was a Fellow Prisoner of Dutch
Shanes.
He Could not Get through the Bars and
Peached on His PaI-Shanes got very
Little Start but Eluded the Officers
Nothing Heard of him Yet.

Peached on His PaI-Shanes got very
Little Start but EIuded the Officers
Nothing Heard of him Yet.
The following special sent from
Waynesburg about the escape of a
well known character of this county
is interesting here:
William, alias Dutch, Shanes,
who was prisoner here awaiting
trial for burglary, escaped by saw
ing off bar of one of the windows
and letting himself down to the
ground by means of a rope. The es
cape occurred just before the pris-
oners were to be locked in their cells.
1t is thought the work of saving the
bar had been going ON for nearly a
week.
George Richards, the negro who
recently burglarized Delany's store
here, planned to escape with Shanes,
but could not sqeeze through the
opening made by saving out the
bar. Finding he could not get out,
he Immediately gave the alarm, and
Sheriff Scott quickly entered the Jail
from the office. but was too late to
capture Shanes. The latter lives
near Blacksmith, w Va, and it is
thought he went in that direction,
having been seen passing along the
street just after making his escape.
John Mccullough was arrested
and placed in Jail charged with aid
ing in the jall-breaking by furnish
ing saw. An acquaintance OF Nc
Gullough revealed the fact that the
latter had been sent a note by Rich
ards and Shanes, offering him $40 of
the money stolen from Delany's
store if he would provide them a
saw. Mccullough was to 90 where
a sack containing $40 Of the money
was hidden and take but $50 of 1t
This knowledge, and the fact that
he tried TO get a saw from Waynes-
burg plumber, led to his ;nearcera-
ton. A table knife fashioned into
saw, and wooden key, were found
IN the jail
Local officers who have been warned
to look out for the fellow have not
heard anything about his where
abouts None of them have gone out
from town to look for him but officers
in his section have been notified that
he is at large and they will capture
him If he shows up in that part of
the country. Dutch will probably lay
low for a while and be may take the
commendable notion TO get clear out
Of the country.

CHILLY COMMUNICATION.
Bell Phone Company Declines
to M elbow.

Secretary Writes Very Curt Letter to
Merchants Association Declines to
Heed Protest or TO Make any Conces-
sions-People's Phones Will Replace
the Bell,
1t is altogether probable that the
squabble between the Bell Telephone
Company and the Merchants Associa-
tion will result in the Bell phones
coming out of the places of business
over town. Protests were made TO
the Bell some time ago about the SER
vice and asking that the service given
by the Peoples phone in this county
be given also by the Bell.
A letter has been received by Chas.
Pell from the secretary of the company
in Pittsburg. The substance of it is
that the Bell people do not intend to
pay any attention to the protest made
in general by the merchants.
They are told that all specific COM
plants will be looked after aud that
remedies will be applied as far as pos
sible. The statement is made that
no complaint has ever been made by a
patron in Morgantown which has not
received prompt and careful attention
and the faults OF the system remedied
TO the satisfaction of the patrons.
The association is asked TO make
specific complaints and the promise is
made that they will be looked after.
The general kick that is made will
not be noticed. AS for the extension
Of the service it is not to be considered
for a moment. 1t will On the con-
trary probably be curtailed,
A proposition has been submitted
by the Peoples Company for consider
alton along with this letter at the
next meeting of the merchants and it
is probable that the Bell phones will
be ordered out and Peoples installed.
This is the temper of the members Of
the organization who have been asked
in regard to the matter. They feel
that the letter which they received is
a trife chilly.
They also state shat complaints
made through regular channels by
local officials of the company are never
noticed by the company and that
nothing comes Of it. They are not
disposed to treat any longer.

TWO CENTS
TABLES NEATLY TURNED.
Meeting of Directors at Point
Marion.


Proves to Have Been Merely a Ruse-
Directors Served With Process In
Suit hancery Proceedings Begun
In uniontown Against West Virgin
fans.
On Tuesday there was to have
been meeting of the directors Of
the Morris Glass Company at Point
Marion. That is 1t was reported TO
the directors living in this county
that there would be such a meeting.
Consequently they went down to the
Point together with their attorney
George C. Baker.
When they reached there they
were served with process to answer
suit In chancery which had been
brought against them by w. L.
Harvey and others in Uniontown.
They were then informed that there
was not going to be any meeting Of
the directors at this time aud they
returned home
Service of the papers IN this snlt
could not have been made In this
county and the other fellows had
used the alleged meeting OF the di-
reetors TO decoy them down in order
10 get service. fhis was accepted
ard the joke is nov more keenly
relished than it was ut Che time
when the papers were being served.
The directors on whom papers
were served were Rev. Campbell
Jones. S. T.. Wildwan, D. c. Core,
Michael Wright and Lewis Lemlcv.
Il. II. Steinman, w. l.. Harvey, j.
w. FeFarland and---------Ely are the
other directors.
It will be remembered that Har-
vey was fred out by the West Vir-
ginia directors and they had taken
steps to bring suit TO annul stock
which had been issued to him IN the
company. The other fellows how
ever have gotten the drop and have
fled the tirst suit
Everything points to the eonelu-
sion that there is going to be a hot
time in connection with the whole af-
! fair before II is settled.
! The following special from Union
town in reference to the suit which
has been brought by Harvey will be
interesting in this connection
A bill in equity was flied Monday
between E. Harry Steinman, Charles
r.. Corwin, agent, Emory Coulsin and
/ William l.. Harvey, for themselves
and such other stockholders as may see
1T to Join them, and the Morris Glass
Company, defendant. The batter was
organized with a capital OF $4,000 TO
do business at PIT. Marion where it
owns four acres Of land
The statement is very long, and
complains OF many things among
them being that one faction Of the
company has held meetings and trans
acted certain Important business
without the knowledge of the Others
interested; also that they tried to dis
charge w. l.. Harvey as general man
ager and remove Il. III Steinman as
member of the executive committee
OF the board OF directors and many
other Illegal acts.
The court is asked to grant pre-
liminary injunction restraining the
company from conveying, cucumber
ing or disposing of any OF the assets
of the corporation; TO restrain IL from
holding any meetings other than at
PIT. Marion; TO appoint q receiver to
take charge Of all the assets; to re-
strain it from interfering with w. l..
Harvey as general manager; and give
such other relief as the exigencles Of
the case may require. John NJ. Core
and j. NJ. Shields are attorneys for
plaintiffs.

5unt of the inclement weather the
chool children did not attend.
Some weeks ago it was requested
by the Governor that this day be
yobserved by the schools of the state
in fitting manner. 1t is the birth
day of the late President and it was
thought that it would be peculiarly
appropriate to raise SUN of money
\ for memorial for him on this day
The Sunday preceding was set for
observance of the day in the church
8 but as far as learned there was no
5ention paid to it by any OF the
churches of the city.
An offering was taken at the meet
Z ing this morning. This will be for
Narded to the Memorial Association
at Canton which proposes TO erect a

filed.

ability in the conduct OF public affairs
as manifested during the Spanish
American war and the recent troubles
in China. The address concluded
with eulogy upon the private and
religious phases of Mr.. McKinley's
life
Professor Fast's address was a
thoughtful analysis OF the life of the
martyred President from the political
as we'll as other standpoints. 1t
brought out in an interesting way the
Sprces and admirable traits which
Im bined to render his life such q
btable success.
During an intermission between the
Iwo addresses a collection was taker
10, the proceeds of which will 90 Il
vne fund to be raised in the erection
