Owl Hall improvements.

The new drop curtain in the Owl
Hall is thing of beauty and will be
Joy to audiences until it gets dirty.
In the center of the curtain is a fine
landscape painting, while around it
are the advertisements of Yerington

of those who contributed ads for the
curtain is too lengthy to print, but
the contributors each paid S. for an
ad and it is money we'll spent. Mr..

those who patronized the curtain as

Under the proper heading in this

is a candidate tor County Commits

He has been commissioner once be-

he be successful in again being elect

county affairs as well as he did in
the years that he before acted as one

The Honey Crop.

The honey crop of this valley will
be about up to the average this sea
son. Probably from twelve to fifteen
tons of comb honey will be shipped,
and Messrs. Florey and the Hartman
brothers, who came here last Winter
with their bees, will ship a large
quantity of strained honey. The
honey made by the bees IN this local
ity is of superior quality, and
therefore commands the top price in
the market. This industry will
doubtless grow into one of consider
able importance in this valley in the
near future.

Mr.. Oliver King. who has charge Of

the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. ar
rived in Martinsburg Thursday and
confirmed the report published below

place for himself and wife and has ar
ragged 10 make his premanent quarters
in Martinsburg.
Rumor has il That Martinsburg is to
get back the Baltimore and Ohio
bridge and switch works, which We're
removed from this place about three
years ago.
shortly after the removal Of the
Baltimore and Ohio shops from Mar
tinsburg the bridge and switch works
were established in the vacant machine
shop AutEthe removal of these works
followed aud the magnificent shop
buildings We're left entirely vacant. a
portion of the machinery WAS moved
to Cumberland. but the greater part OF
it was taken to Mt. Glare. Mr.. King,
who had charge of the works when To-
Gated here, still has charge of il and
will move back here ii this portion OF
the maintenance way department OF
the road is moved back.
There is no way OF confirming the
report in circulation in Martinsburg
about the removal of the works here,
bat the railroad men think there is
something in it. Rumor even goes SC
far as TO say that the big boiler is he
ing packed at Mt. Glare for shipment.
A citizen who was in Cumberland
Sunday says railroad employe told
him positively that the works would
be removed here, as orders to that ef.
feet had passed through his hands
Should this prove to be fact in the
neighborhood of 100 men, some skilled
mechanics and some unskilled labor.
ers, will be brought here.
There are good reasons for the re-
moval. chief among which is the
overcrowded condition of the Mt.
Clare shops. Whether or not this re-
port is true the citizens will cling to
the belief that all Of the shop build
ings will not be vacatt much longer.

Road and stopped His Horse His
Lucky EScape

Lucky Escape.
While on his way home from Mar
tinsbhlg Monday night at II o'clock
Charles Leonard, the engineer at the
quarries of the Bessemer Limestone
Company, four miles north of Mar
tinsburg, was held up by highway
men. The hold-up took place about
31ls miles from town on the Williams
port pike, which is one of the main
highways of travel in the county
Mr.. Leonard was driving along the
pike at a pretty good pace, when two
negroes surang from the side of the
road and called for him to halt. at the
same time grabbing the horse by the
reins. Both of the highwaymen had
revolvers whose shining steel glittered
in the light of the moon and told the
victim selected for the hold-up that
the best thing for him to do was to
submit. He threw up his hands and
as he did so threw the lines out on to
the horse. This scared the horse, who
was already in a frightened condition
as result of the sudden appearance
of the negroes from the side of the
road.
Leonard says one of the men poked
his revolver into his face and snapped
the trigger when he threw the lines
onto the horse. but it did not go off.
The frightened horse started away
with dash and made for home The
negroes. he said, followed, but did not
catch up to him.
Upon his arrival at home Leonard
entered the house and returned to the
pike with revolver. Shortly after
he came out the two negroes came up
and he and the men sitting around
the store surrounded them. Only one
of the men was found TO be armed
with gun. This was taken away
from him and both were held captiyes
by the crowd while word was sent to
town by telephone for officers.
Deputy Sheriffs Caldwell and Stuckey
started out for the scene about two
O'Clock, but when they arrived there
the captors said they had become tired
of holding their eaptives and had re-
leased them, thinking that the call
was not going to be answered.
WAS THE SECOND HOLD UP.
As Mrs. Leonard. the mother of
Charles Leonard, was going out the
pike FRIDAY night accompanied by her
little grand daughter, a negro sprang
from the side of the road and grabbed
at her horse. but the frightened horse
increased his speed instead of stopping.
This occurred shortly after dark. II
is believed.that the would-be highway
men are employed on the railroad
improvements in that section of the
county and more trouble from that
| source is looked for.

Martinsburg, w. Va. Dear Sir:
Rockland. Maine. is a sea coast town :
hard place for paint. About seventeen
years ago, Farrand, Spear & Co..
Rockland, began with Devoe. Their
first sale was to paint the Harrington
residence, we'll known there.
Mr. Farrand says the house appears
from the street. to be well painted
now, and has never been reprinted.
We should like to know more def
nitelv about job of paint that has
lasted seventeen years on seaside
house 1t is the longest time we have
had report on.
Lead and oil lasts three years-a first
rate job-and nobody says il lasts long
er. We are content II say that Devoe
lead and zinc lasts twice as long; but
we know of houses innumerable. ON
which our paint has exceeded six years,

were neutrality-suspicious. on Qneen
street.

A scene in which sobs alternated
with words that would not make
Sunday School teacher smile was pre-
sented on the corner OF Queen aud
Martin streets about 8 80 o'clock Tues
dayI morning. The actors who furnished
the interesting scene in real life were
Mrs. M. A. Cla2gett, her husband.
Clarence Claggett, and his father, an
elderly man. All of them formerly re-
sided in Mnrtinsburg, but their home
is now in Williamsport, they having
stored most of their household goods
in Martinsburg when they left here.
Last evening Mrs. Claggett packed
up her belongings (and those Of her
hubsaud, too. il appers) and left
Williamsport, coming to Martinsburg.
Her husband. accompanied by his
father, followed, and upon their arri-
val here this morning they had JUS
tice Snyder issue a search warrant,
claiming that Mrs. Claggett had stor-
ed in her trunk clothing which be-
longed to her husband. Constable Fulk.
armed with the search warrant, went
70 the G. v. baggage room this morn
ing and searched the trunk. He found
the clothing, turned it over to the
husband and closed the trunk, but
that was not the end Of the episode
Mrs. Claggett learned Of what had
taken place and hunted up the consta-
bic who had gone through her trunk.
Finding him. she started out in com
pany with him in search of her hus-
band and father-in-law. They found
him in front OF Mr. j. H. Blondel's
store. There was where the amusing
scene was enacted.
The three at once SCOT together. "
The two men backed into Mr.. Blon-
del's store. Mrs. Clagcett followed
aud Constable Fulk took q back seat.
Mr.. Blondel remained in the rear por-
ton Of the store in order to keep OUT
OF the mix-up and what transpirea
will remain for all time upv itteu
history. Between the sobs and tiradeA
of fierce words, however, the outsid-
ers heard Mrs. Claggett utter sentences
about having clothed her husband all
the time and the clothing belonged to
her anyhow. Finally Mr.. Blondel pre-
vailed upon the unwelcome occupants
OF his store to settle their difference
in less public place and they sepa-
rated.
