One sad-eyed son of Sunny Italy
with a complexion like the Mononi
gahela river after a rain, was the
only rcveler who had done anything
out of the ordinary. 1t dawned on
him Saturday evening after he got
his wages that America was the
land Of freedom. Freedom to him
meant the glorious privilege of get
ting hilariously and dangerously
drunk. with no one to hinder or say
him nay. He armed himself with a
razor and big revolver and began
to fill up. Policeman Frank Canoe
came along in time to see him
struggling with a lot of his country
men were trying to suhdue him.
The officer relieved them OF the
responsibility. The Italians were
not satisfied with this arrangement,
any one of them tried to stop the
arrest. Canoe landed on the fellow
for clean knockout, and took the
man with the razor and gun to Jail.
He was fined $l460- He had the
money.
Another old friend of Morgantown
Mayors was able to accumulate two
$3.50 DRINKS between six o'clock
Saturday evening and midnight.
He was fined 1920. He paid 50 OF
this down aud promised to come
back and liquijate the rest. The
Mayor let him go. He always pays.
By ways of statistical information,
he stated that he bad paid over $500
into the city treasury for about
thirty cents worth of fun.
Another old offender was charged
With being drunk. He confessed
and was fined $500 The officers
had taken a quart of good whiskey
from him and razor. The whiskey
cost him $3.50 in Fairmont, be said
and he needed it in his business.
The officers had poured it in the
sink however and he went away heart
broken. He got his razor, but il
was no comfort to him.
In addition to these, there were
three plain DRINKS who paid $3.50
each.

A camp ot railroad engineers pitch

are doing field work on the survey TO
Confluence They are working both
ways, east and west, from Easton.
A preliminary survey has already
been made over this route, aud it has
been found difficult one over which
TO build railroad. Ii is the object
OF the present activity to make more
complete survey, with estimates of
cost Of construction, ADD II the road
is found to be practicable. IL may be
built.
Mr.. Sisson states that there are
plenty Of resources for business along
this route, but whether they are sufii-
Gent to pay for building the road is
to be determined later.
There are six tents and about fifteen
men, with colored cook in the camp
at Easton. Nearly half the young
men are from the vicinity OF Martins
burg.
In connection with the proposed
Improvement on the l.. and o. rail-
road it is interesting to note that re-
port Is current In regard TO the new
freight depot. 1t is said that as soon
as the construction force on this divi-
sion can be increased to forty men, a
squad will be put to work to grazing
on the sidings for the new freight de-
pot up near the cattle pens. Now II
anybody can tell when the requisite
lumber of workers will he employed,
be can begin to make calculation as
to what time we will get better freight
facilities in Morgantown. All things
come to him who waits.

After the storm. he could not get
