Waru.
A gentleman from Fort Mill
told reporter of The State last
night that there is great neigh
borhood feud brewing and while
many are demanding Squire
Bales dethronement, that tunc-
tionary is not without his follow
inE-evidently, persons whom
he has not married, for if he Is
but a notary, ne can tie a knot as
hard and as fast as the Fifth Ave,
nue. preacher who gets a fee in
four figures every time he reads
the marriage service.
The tight against Bales is
weakened because another seeks
to succeed him. The informant
of The State declares that there
is no necessity for a notary pub
lie in that section of Fort Mill
township, and if Bales is de
prived of his seal of office, there
should be no other TO take up the
business which he has establish
ed.
For Bales has established HIM
self. He has a sinecure, for it
was not difficult TO secure com
mission as notary, no applicant
for that great honor being de.
clined unless he rajls 10 pay the
recording fee of So.
With marriage headquarters
on the State lines, Bales has
done a land office business, for
the lottery of marriage is popu
lar. Popular with the young
people but not so much ap-

would marry them without the
fOrmality of a license-aS is re.

disadvantage in taking out il
cense is that if the suspicious Of
the county clerk should be ex-
cited, the marriage might be all
off, for he would phone for dear
papa to come and give his bless

FOOTBALL TEAM
Told Hazing Story TO Reporter
in Parkersburg.


now the News got on 70 the Shooting
scrape in Inorganic Exonerates
Mr.. herman of Telling it, some Com
ments by the News.
The .Parkersburg News in its last
issue has some comments about the
herman hazing story and the state
| ment OF Mr.. Berman TO newspaper
man here. The comments are as
follows:
The story published In an issue OF
The News last week about the at
tempted bazing Of Oscar Berman,
Parkersbnrg student, and telling how
Berman frightened of his tormentors
by firing a pistol at them, has stirred
up considerable trouble among the
student body at the University and
the Morgantown papers have publish
ed the story as 1T appeared In The
News, together with statement from
young Berman. The young man
doesn't relish the predicament that
the publication OF the story has placed
him in. He Is unjustly accused by
some Of the students with inspiring
the story, all OF which is totally false.
Mr.. Berman's story Is straightfor-
ward, manly truthful statement, such
as anybody who knows the young man
would expect him to make. The
story published by The News was
written In this Office by one of the
regular reporters. 1t was based on
information given out broadcast In
this city by the University foot ball
players when on their visit to this
city a week ago last Friday. The
members of that team are we'll aware
that they gave out the story In this
city themselves and it is dirty piece
OF business for some OF those seifsame
persons to now charge that Mr.. Ber-
man gave out the story, himself. They
know such charge to be malicious,
cowardly lie, spun for the purpose of
injuring a young man ia the eyes OF
his fellow-students and the Morgan
town public, who, is their equal in
character aud mentality, If not, in.
deed, the superior of his detractors.
Mr.. Berman is not a correspondents
OF The News. either at Morgantown or
anywhere else. Mr.. Kunkle ia our
correspondent in that city. But Mr..
kunkle did not send that story to this
paper. Mr.. Berman was, last summer
on the regular staff Of The News and
While serving In that capacity render
cd efficient services to his EMPLOYERS.
Furthermore, If Mr. Berman stood
his ground against a crowd of skulk.
ing towards, who decoyed him out in
the night with the intention Of
assaulting him, and put them to flight.
he is to be commended for 50 doing.
The only regret that his Parkersburg
friends have over the occurrence il
that he didn't prove better marks
man.
Mr.. Berman Is quiet, unassumine
young man Of fine mental eouipment,
He was graduated with honors from
the Parkersburg High schoo, and dur
ing his studies there repeatedly won
prizes and honors by his studious an
plication and superior mental ability.
He has the astuff" in him to make
student OF distinction at the Uniyer-
sity and The News predicts that he
will soon so rank there-Editor.

GOT THEIR MAN.
Opeikska Coons catch Alleged
Robber in Fairmont.

when Policeman Arrested ali three
Of them-Fnes for shooting and
Heavy Bailed for Accused Negro.
A special from Fairmont says:
George Payne, colored, was shot
at ten times in the Fairmont rail
road yards Saturday afternoon by
Phil Burroughs and William Bur
roughs, colered, who accuse him of
taking their money to the amount of
800.
AS told in these columns Mon
day the Burroughs, who are broth
ers, claimed that negro had touch
ed them up at Opekiska for cen
fury roll while they were at work.
They tracked the colored thief to
Fairmont aid here notified the po-
lice.
The Burroughs were not going to
go unarmed with the country full of
thieves, so they provided themselves
with a couple ofcheap reyolvers and
an ample supply of ammunition and
went out in the railroad yards TO
watch for the fellow who had taken
their coin.
At five o'clock the two waiting
brothers. were rewarded by seeing
the negro whom they accused com
ing up the track. They yelled halt
in tone of voice calculated to scare
man to death, but Payne picked
up his ears and took down the track
like a harvest hand who had met
with hornets nest. The two Bur-
roughs opened fire on the fleeing
man with their new guns, but did
not hit him. Lieutenant Watson of
the railroad detective force, who
had been watching them all, now
interfered and arrested the three
men.
This morning Justice Bennington
fined the Burroughs $25 and costs
each for carrying guns and held
Payne for the next grand jury.
Opekiska is not in Marion county.
Payne's bond was fixed at $500. He
had no money when caught.
