details of bloody battle fought be-
tween a sheriff's posse and outlaws in
Scott county, Virginia, this afternoon

upon the charge of murder, was shot
and captured. Wright was under

prison at Brushy Mountain two years
ago. He returned to Hancock county
recently and there defied the officers,
although there was a reward of $500
for his arrest. Not long after his REF
turn home Sheriff Lagere of Hancock
county was shot from ambush and
killed. The crime was charged to Jim
Wright, John Templeton, another MUIR
derer, and the latter's brother. The
motive of the alleged crime was said
to be that Lagere had killed the father
of the Templetons. Recently officers
have been planning to capture Wright
in his home. and he, with John Temple
ton and other associates, crossed the
state line into Virginia. They have
been in Scott county about a month. To
day the sheriff organized a strong
posse and attempted to arrest the
gang. The men had been notified and
a pitched battle resulted, in which
five of the sheriffs posse are said TO
have been killed and two deputy sher-
ifs, Joe Moss and Sam Wax, wounded.
Wright was wounded and captured.
but the others who were with him es-
capped. They are being pursued, but
the mountains of the county afford
them many chances of escape.

president of publishing concern, the
annual business of which is estimated
at 100000, and A. j. Munsen, secre-
tary, have been arrested by the United
States postal authorities on the charge
of using the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses.
Barber and Munsen were released
until April Is on bonds of $1,000 The
complaint on which the men were ar
rested was sworn out by J. B. deSaus-
sure of Atlanta, Ga, who declared he
had been swindled out of $40. The plan
upon which it is said the company has
been securing agents was to guaran-
tee them a salary of s. a week to start
with. The agents, so it is alleged, were
obliged to sign an ironclad contract,
which they aver makes it impossible
for them to earn the wages, which de-
pend on sales that cannot be made.
When the sales are not made the
agents are left with the outfit on their

Gen. Macarthur was again the wit
ness before the committee to-day, and
he began his statement with reference
to the burning of villages by the ma
tive forces in 1899. He said that the
order for this destruction had been is
sued by Gen. Luna, and that he found
that this was due to the fact that Luna
had been a student of Napoleon's cam
paigns, who had conceived the idea
that he could compel the American
forces to retreat as the Russians had
forced the French conqueror to retreat
from Moscow. In this connection Gen.
Macarthur read a number of orders
issued by himself, directing the con-
duct of troops in the field and enjoin-
ing the utmost kindness in the treat
ment of captured and wounded MEM
bers of the enemy's forces. In one
of those orders the American forces
We're instructed to kill, if possible. the

in his hand, and in reply to questions
Gen. Macarthur said that in war the
prime object is to disable the enemy
and to kill him If possible when In
battle.

a dream of a Polynesian confederacy-
AN able man, but a dreamer and I'M
fortunately paralyzed."
Where is he now?" asked Senator
Patterson.
I'm GUAM" laconically responded the
witness.
How did he get there?"
Il sent him there because he was an
agitator."
Then followed a long colloquy, in
which Gen. Macarthur said that after
he had released Mabini he continued
his agitation.
His agitation in support of Philip
pine independence? suggested Senator
Patterson.
His agitation in support of the in
surrectfon," insisted Gen. Macarthur.

The Woods6eid Taxpayer gives
the following account of the game
Saturday and blames Its defeat on
Marietta. A poor excuse.
"Sistersville has Its revenge and,
We believe, all the money back that
was lost. The boys from the river
put up a nice game, hut the victory
was a donation by Ellison, the
crack Marietta pitcher, who was
doing slab duty for the home team.
He had a sore arm and was unable
to put up the game he Is capable.
1t showed poor judgment to leave
him In the box. when Sistersville
found him In the third inning the
visitors scored 4 runs and three
more were made In the sixth. At
ter that Armstrong, our regular
pitcher went In and only one hit
and not another score was made.
Woudsfeld was unable to hit the
ball safely and while PastoriuS
struck out only few men, hits
were few and far between"
Woodsfeld hardly ever appre-
clates a good thing when she has It.
Armstrong Is as good a pitcher as
threw a ball across the home plate;
but to please the fans, the team had
to be strengthened CD while regu-
lar players were laid of. Had
Armstrong pitched the whole game
there would be a different story to
tell. We learn by experience only
and the experience of Saturday,
though a costly affair, may turn
out to benefit the home team and
fans. Armstrong Is getting In fine
shape and with our regular team
behind him, will beat such clubs as
Sistersville hands down.
The features of the game were
the fine running catches by Keysor
Diehl, Carr, McGinnis and Gun
lon.
Here Is the score.

successful business man, took
prominent part In having the Ohio
River Railroad built and If he Is
elected will work hard to have the
Ohio river made navigable the year
round. Being successful business
man he would command the respect
of every congressman and ought to
be elected. The majority Is against
him and 1t may be the other man
will win but no sane voter living
here will vote against him unless
they think more of their party than
they do of improving their own
