LOCAL SHARPSHOOTERS
Try Their Skill at Shooting at Target
and Make Some Pretty Clever and
Accurate Shots.

Two skilled sharp-shooters reside in
CIarlsburg. They are City Policemen
Harry Brooks and b. & o. Policeman
Fox. Wednesday afternoon these two
gentlemen went out on a nearby hill for
the purpose of trying hand at shoot
ing at a target, to keep up their practice.
The target was placed at distance Of
$50 feet. Mr.. Fox hit the bulls eye
three times out of four test shots, the
fourth striking near the bulls eye. Mr..
Brooks hit the eye once and struck the
tarket within the innermost circle three
time out of his four test shots. That's
considered pretty good marksuranship.

DR. ES SES
DE ID WIFE
AND IS UNDER THE NECESSITY OF
HAVING no ASSIST IN LOWER
ING HER BODY 10 THE
circumstances Surrounding Death and
Burial Of Mrs Edinger, Which Do
Not Speak Wen fof Our Civ

1t develops that there were circtm-
stances surrounding the death and burial
OF the wife of Ienatius Edinger the first
of the week that are not credftable to
the Christianity and civilization of
Clarksburg. When she died Mt her home
in Glen Elk there was no one in her
home except her husband, although two
other families live in the house. Three
women of that section of the city went
Is Kl1e Edfnger home while she lay a
corpse, and they, with the dead woman's
husbands assistance, dressed her and
laid her out. No others went to the
place while she lay corpse except the
Catholic priest, and he and Mr.. Edinger
had to help carry the body to the hcarse,
and they aided in consigning it to the
grave. The only other attendants at the
funeral and burial were the three neigh
bor women who dressed her. The reason
said TO be assigned for this indifference
toward the Edingers by their neighbors
is said to be the fact thnt they are for
eigners. True, they are. but they are
very respectable people. The husband
was once worth considerable money, but
lost it, and Is now trying to retrieve his
fortune. He stated that the foreigners
dc would have to wait on his wife and
aid diim were so situated that they could
not, and those who could have como, he
could not afford to have around his home.
which he desired to keep respectable. All
IN all. it seems very Christianlike
that the circumstances were such as have
been disclosed and it is sincerely hoped
that this paper will not have the pain
full experience of ever reporting anything
like this again.

from what counties that have been heard
from are discouraging. In Marion coun-

nineteen No. 3 and tewelve failures. In
Wood county there were six of the first
class. forty-one of the second grade, and.
ten of the third grade. The number OF
