BLOODY SCRAP.
Soldiers Beat Each Other with Club
bed Mnskets.


How not to conduct ones self as a
soldier may be seen from the following
from the Parkersburg News:
Twenty five or 30 soldiers engaged
in bloody hand. To hand fight was a
sight Witnessed at the b. & o. depot
yesterday afternoon. Men from sew
eral companies, while waiting for
their train to pull out, becamse involv-
ed in a wrangle, the cause of which
probably few knew, and soon they
were fighting fiercely Guns were
used as clubs to great advantage by
some of the men, and more than one
participant carried sore head with
him as memento OF the fray.
The fracas occurred at $500 D. m.
There were not less than 500 soldiers
waiting at the station to take their
trains home, after breaking camp in
the morning. All were cnngregated
on the south side of the depot, where
the cars that were to carry them home
had been side tracked. Many of the
men were drinking, some having bot
ties OF beer with them. 1t seems
that one Of the officers, a lieutenant
it is said, of the Terra Alta company,
resented the action of a private who
snatehed bottle Of beer out of his
hand. The private that did this i $
small fellow Familiarity known as
"The Kid The lieutenant struck
him in the face with gun, infiictiug
an ugly wound that bled freely. This
aroused the anger of several of the
men and they started after the officer.
He took to his heels and was seen no
more during the trouble. However,
some of his men stood up for his ac-
tion and engaged the attention of the
men who would have punished the
lieutenant.
Then the fight began Soon the
half drunken soldiers were beating
one another up In sickening man
ner. The air was filed with upifted
guns and every time one descended
the head OF a soldier felt the effect.
Many were knocked down and some
were unable to get up for time.
Other men who attempted to inter
fere received hard knocks for their
trouble and were drawn into the
midstof the fight Soon blood was
flowing from the heads of mauy men.
One large fellow was sent to the
ground by blow that left terrible
cash on the side of his face and he
tled like a hog. This bruising con-
tinued probably five minutes before
enough.outsiuers interfered to put a
stop to it. The men then piled into
their cars and left for home without
any arrests being made.

LOCATING RAILROAD
Party Surveyors at Beaver Hole
Probably at Work for b. Il o.

A party of eleven men, including
the cook are still at work on the
Cheat River railroad survey. They
are now camped at Beaver Hole, and
are working little above thrt place.
They have been working on the sur
vey for the past six weeks or two
months, and will probably continue
at it the remainder of the summer.
They will work on through the
Cheat Valley to Rowlesburg.
The party is in charge of chief
engineer Pettigrew. Four men from
this county are working with the
corps They are Frank Weltner of
Stewartstown, Richard and Walter
Collins of Cheat Neck and Irwin
Hunter who has been student in
the University here.
The corps is making preliminary
survey and then going yer it a sec
ond time to locate the road. That
looks very much like they meant
business. The route passes through
the Hilarity Clubs camping grounds,
which are 46, 700 feet from the start
ing point at Cheat Haven. The sur
vey follows the north side of the
river to Squirrel Rock just above
Camp Edne and there crosses to the
South side.
1t would naturally be supposed
that the survey is made by the B. &
O. people since it connects with
their roads The Wabash people
have had engineers along the river,
but they made only preliminary sur
veys.

TWO CENTS
SEPTEMBER FIRST
The Public Schools will open for
the Years Work.

LABOR Day tones on the Same Date
Two new Rooms in the school Build
ing to be Used-New school ON Wiles
Hill-New Building for Seneca Soon.
The Public Schools will start on
September first. This is the tlrst
Monday in the month and 1t also
happens to be the first day OF the
month. 1t is also Labor day and all
Of the banks will be closed and many
of the manufacturing establishments
town will observe 1t as a holiday.
All previous records OF enrolment
are expected to be broken. This is
due to the rapid increase in popula-
ton which the town and district are
enjoying. New teachers will have TO
be added TO the teaching force and 1t
may be that with the contemplated
increases there will be lots Of children
who cannot be cared for.
A meeting of the School Board will
be held the first of the week. Super
intendent Gallup has been out OF town
for couple of weeks attending insti-
tutes in several counties. He came
Lack home on Saturday.
One OF the first things to be done
by the board is To select two new
teachers in the town school and one
for the colored school. Miss Sipe has
been elected for the former but has
declined and her place will have to be
filled. There are two new rooms to
be opened 10 the School building.
They have never been used for this
purpose.
Two OF the rooms are having metal
ceilings placed in them. This was
rendered necessary by storm which
took down the ceilings some time ago.
A new school will be started on
Wiles Hill. This will Accommodate
the smaller children In that section
OF the town. Some provision is to be
made for the Seneca children and a
new building is to be erected down
there. DIR. /. G. White has offered TO
donate sufficient ground for this and
members of the board have assured
the NEW DOMINION that they will ar
range to put up the building for next
year. They have been unable to do
this up to this time on account OF
lack OF funds.

OUT ON BAIL.
Major keener Released by
Judge Reppert

court Held That Another County G0uld
Not Take the Prisoner Until his
Case has Been Settled at UniOntown
Another Turn in the Case.
Late yesterday afternoon Judge
Reppert ordered Major Keener adj
mitted to bail in Fayette county.
He refused to allow him To be taken
by Greene county officers until he
had passed from the jurisdiction OF
the Uniontown courts. The ruling
of the court was that while he was on
bail be was still in the custody of the
court and could not be taken from it.
Accordingly heis free man except
for the bail which has been furnish
ed. The case is set Tor hearing on
the first day of September.
UNroNTowN, August ia man
may give bail and still not
get out of Jail as discovered by
Major Keener confined in Union
town. His lawyers have been trying
to get him bailed out. How well
they succeeded may be seen from
the following dispatch from Union
town:
The habeas corpus proceedings
begun several days ago for the re
lease of Major j. l.. Keener, the al
legged defanlter and embezzler, were
concluded to day and Keener was
admitted TO hail At the habeas
corpus hearing on Wednesday, Keen
er's attorneys were doubtful as to
whether they could offer bail and
the hearing was continued unit this
morning, when the matter was Go he
determined. The hearing was taken
up before Judge Reppert this morn
ing and Keener admitted to bail in
the sum of $4,000, Joseph l. Cans
of Morris X Roads, brother-in. law
of Keener going on his bail. Judge
Reppert then made an order that
Keener having given bail for his APP
pearance at September court, be be
discharged from custody
Major Keener was then released,
but no sooner was he out OF jail, than
he was arrested on a process of the
Greene county authorities. A war
rant was brought here by some OF
his Greene county creditors and
placed in the hands of Sheriff Froek
to be served in case he was released
from Jail. Therefore as soon as
Keener got out on the habeas cor
pus proceedings he was placed un-
der arrest by Sheriff Frock and re
turned to Jail.
The question that is puzzling the
authorities is whether Keener should
be kept in jail here or allowed to go tc
Greene county. The Greene county
people want to take him there and
place him in Jail, while the local au-
thoritics contend that having given
bail here he can't be taken to Greene
county and compelled to give bal
there.
