SERIOUS RIOT AT

PICNIC.

Picnic Bloods Fill Up on Bad Whiskey and
Free.for.aII Fight Follows.
NEW MARr1NsvILLE, w. VA,
Aug. ia riot occurred Satur-
day afternoon at German Ridge,
where the German congregation Of
New Martinsville was holding Its
picnic. Ten young bloods Of the
neighborhood came to New Mar
tinsville and tanking up on bad
whiskey returned to the picnic
grounds. They began to fight and
the situation grew so bad that the
sheriff was appealed to. After a
fierce battle with officers seven OF
the gang were arrested and brought
to New Martinsville. Four were
released and three held for trial
Monday before Justice Young.
The prisoners are Frank and
Louis Mittendof and Will Haverly.
The scrap was a terrible one
while 1t lasted. When the riot call
came in Sheriff John Hart and his
brother, Deputy Sheriff Jason Hart,
went to the scene. The gang
fought the officers and the latter
were compelled to dray their guns.
With the butt of his pistol Sher-
If Hart knocked down both Nit
tendof boys and Frank was badly
beaten up. He did not want to
succumb to the higher authority
that sought to place him under ar
rest, so he paid dearly for 1t. Sew.
eral of the gang were smashed and
cut and the officers themselves did
not escape slight injury.
The riot, for such 1t was, drunk
en-, rufhanly exhibition, created In
tense excitement all over the
county.

Is Not Public Place, so It is Decided by Our
Circuit Court.
AN INDICTMENT AGAINST JAMES DUVA
For PIayine Cards in an Oil Derrick Decided in his Favor The
Jury Found for the Defendant, Deciding That an Ol
Derrick is a Private Place Other Court Notes.

A Jury of the good and honest
women of Tyler county. decided
last week In the case of the State
of West Virginia against James
Duval, that playing an innocent
game of cards In an oil derrick Is
not playing cards In a "Publtc
Place." which Is an indictable Of
tense In our State.
We did not learn all the facts
connected with the case but In
substance 1t appears that Mr. uval
and some other friends were pass
Ing quiet hour away In game OF
cards, which they played In an oil
derrick. Some meddlesome cuss
happened to see the game going on
and being DESTROYS of raising as
much trouble as possible with his
limited amount of grey matter, pro-
ceeded to have Mr.. Duval indicted.
The case was tried last week and
the defense fought the case or the
sole grounds that an oil derrick Is
not a public place. A jury was
emnarnelled TO try that one Issue,
namely: us an oil derrick a public
place." The jury heard the evil
dence and decided that an oil der
rick Is not a public place.
The prosecuting attorney will
not get any docket fee,
which Is very sad, and the meddle-
some informer will get no witness
fees, which Is sadder still. The
later gentleman should be incarcer'
ated In the county jail for month
or two and If possible be instructed
each day while therein, that If he
will attend strictly to his own bus
Iiness In the future he will get rich
and be happy.
| Judge Willis.
+ We are not In the habit of throw.
ing gush all over people but we do
take pleasure Is openly commend
Ing anything that Is good and right.
We can say that Judge Willis has
been a surprise to his friends and
| his enemies also. He Is making
the most satisfactory Judge we have
had for a long while. Compared
to the late talking machines, Farr
and Freer, he Is nineteen hundred
per cent ahead of them. He treats
all kindly, pays close atteu-
ton to the business of a judge,
listens patiently to all who
have pleas to enter, motions
to make or suits to prosecute
and so far as 1t Is possible to decide
cases to suit everybody, he cuts as
close to the line as 1t Is possible to
do so. He holds court as long as
there Is any business before him, Is
very accommodating In calling
special terms of court to expedite
cases and Is making a judge that
Is satisfactory to all who have bus
mess before his court. We have
heard some of the ablest lawyers In
the State pay these same compli-
ments to Judge Willis, The Re-
view takes pleasure In adding Its
testimony to the others.
