With Pistols Ends in Death of Two Negroes
and Woundng Two Others at Lock IA.
FIGHT STARTED IN GAMBLING GAME,
Robert Hyer Accused Player of Cheating-Piya
Drew Cuns-Tom Carter Killed Outright and
Chas. Lewis Mortaiy wounded-Hyer escaped
NO word Sent to local authorities.

Tom Carter was killed outright
Chas. Lewis mortally wounded, Bill
Jensen and Henry Horner badly
wounded in fight over gambling
game at Lock IA, near 0pekiska
Monday evening. The men are all
negroes. Robert Hyer, the only man
in the fight who came out unscathed,
and who did the fatal shooting has
escaped to the bush. The Marion
county authorities are after him, but
up until noon no word of the murder
had been sent to Monongalia off,
cials.
The five negroes were in the EN-
ploy of I. A. Gillespie Company,
contractors for locks and dams on
the Monongahela. Yesterday was
pay day for the Gillespie men, and
between six and seven o'clock, they
were gathered on the river bank,
in groups, gambling.
Thomas Carter Chas. Lewis, Bill
Jensen, Henry Horner, and Robert
Hyer were all in one game. Hyer
had won considerable coin from the
rest, and when Carter raked down a
big pot, with an oath, he charged
him with cheating.
This started the fight. All the
men were armed and five revolvers
were flashed almost simultaneously.
Carter, Lewis, Jensen and Horner
all took sides against Hyer who
made the accusation.
The desperate negro stood pat. He
was quick with his gun and flashed
it before the others had chance to
get drop on him. A fusilade OF
shots followed. and Hyer fed in'o
the bush.
When the smoke cleared away,
Carter was found dead Chas. Lewis,
Bill Jensen and Henry Horner were
lying on the ground wounded Some
effort was made TO capture lIser but
il was unsuccessful.

succumbs to Disease while In search Of
health.

Miss Hettie Brown, who has spent
the past year in cottage on Airing
ton Fields place, died at 0 O'Clock
Monday evening, July 20, 1908, aged
80 years. Her mother, brother and
sister were with hsr at the time OF her
death,
Miss Brown come to the Fields farm
about year ago, from Suterville, Pa.
She was suffering from lung trouble.
and came In search OF health. Her
sister was married some time ago to
Geo. Duncan, of that vicinity.
Miss Browns health improved some
what, and her family hoped she would
recover from the disease. Her condi-
tion was not such as TO cause any
great alarm up until the time Of her
death.
Miss Brown was TO have been mar
ried on her return to health. Her
sweetheart was prominent employee

The body Of the dead man vas
taken to Fairmont on the S:45 train.
The wounded men were taken to
the Miners hospital there.
The physicians say that The
wounds of Charles Lewis are mortal.
and he will die. The other two men
win recover.
Carter, who was killed on the spot,
has wife and family in the South.
He was 80 years old. The other
men are all single.
Squire Heston, of Opekiska, held
an inquest over the remains OF Car
ter. The jury returned verdict
stating that he came to his death
by bullet wound, inflicted by .
shot fred by Robert Hyer.
The Marion county officers were
notified of the crime and started in
search Of the negro. Il was sWpos-
ed he went in the direction Of Mari
on county. So far nothing has teen
seen or heard of the murderer.
The crime was committed in this
county, yet up until noon the county
officers had received no news Ia re-
gard to it.
Somebody is responsible for this,
and failure to notify the-authorities
is a gross neglect of duty.
When Hyer is captured he will
have to be confined here, and here
his trial will be held. Such affairs
are very unusual in the county, but
officers of the law in the vicinity
should know their duty. neverthe
less.
The crime IL one Of the NEST
startling that ever occurred in the
county. IL shows degree Of law
lessness that has not been dreamed
of here. The new element that has
come. with industrial development
must be dealt with, and provision
should hf made ier rigid enforce
ment ofIhe law.

OIL ANDGAs
Subject of DR.. Whites Lecture
Saturday Morning.

Gis FIRST Discovered In this Country in
West Virginia Iustead ofin Pennsyl.
yania. as GENERALLY Supposed-Anti.
ciinal Theory Developed by DR..
White.
The last lecture In the series given
by DR.. |. G. White, state geologist Of
West Virginia, was delivered at Com
meneemeDt Hall-Friday ON oil
and gas.
A history OF the production Of oil
and gas 10 the world and In this state
particularly was outlined. The Chin
ese were familiar with the use of these
commodities thousands OF years ago.
In Arabia and Persia and even in
Japan oil and natural gas we're produc-
ed 10 small quantities.
1t is only since about the year 1880
that its commercial value has been
recognized and its great production
developed.
Contrary 70 the general impression,
the first discovery Of oil in this coun-
try was in West Virginia instead Of at
Oh City Pa. On Hughes river, where
there is great anticline in the oil
bearing rocks, the oil seeped to the
surface, was collected in blankets on
streams and pools Of water The oil
was transported to Marietta Ohio,
where it was sold at retail by the mer-
chants. Their books which are still
a matter Of record show the invoices
of oil received from the Hughes River
District.
Much earlier than this the Ameri-
can Indians collected oil in this coun-
try and traded it for other commodi-
ties. One brand was named Seneca
Oil from the Seneca Indians, and had
wide reputation as a remedy for
rheumatism.
Formerly there were oil and gas
witches like the water witches we all
know Of, who locate wells by forked
peach limb. In more recent years a
scientific method OF locating oil and
gas wells has been discovered, and DR..
White was the first to introduce what
is known as the anticlinal theory OF
the occurrence OF oil and gas Ia the
earth's strata. He has located so
many wells by this theory, that it is
now pretty we'll established as fact
instead of theory.
DrlWhite discovered that gas, oil
and salt water are arranged In DLhe
porous Oil bearing rocks as they would
be II put into a closed vessel and al

CONSTRUCTION TRAIN
Has Reached Grafton to Work on
wabash Railroad-10OO Men at
MARK

GRAFTON, w. Va July 21.-A
construction engine, IA cars well
loaded with excavating tools and an
immense steam shovel, accompanied
bv large force of laborers, arrived
in Grafton this morning consigned
0 the Buckhannon q Northern Rail
way Company. Men in charge of
train will not say what is to be done
with the consignment, but from re-
liable sources it is learned that the
engine, cars and steam shovel will
be used at once on construction on
the line now building from this
place to Belington to connect with
the Wabash West Virginia Central
branch) at Belington.
While it has,o course, been known
that the contractors were getting
along remarkably well with the ex-
cavations and the leveling of the
proposed line of the Belington Il
Northern, it was not known that the
work had progressed so far as to be
ready for construction train to go
to work. So far as can be learned 10
rails have yet been put down, but it
is stated here this morning that a
temporary track will be at once put
down in order that the construction
train can get to work and thus great
~y facilitate railroad building on the
new road.
Track will be begun at Grafton
Park, from where the roadbed has
been prepared several miles up the
river, and the construction train, 1t
is said, will be hurried to that point
tomorrow, and an effort will be made
to get the engine and cars on the
WABASH tracks without further de
lay. The men have now graded several
miles in the direction of Moatsville
where the road will cross to Being
ton, and the working forces n this
section are being increased every
day. The grading west of here, or
the Tyoarts Valley river, in the di
rection Of Valley Falls, is also pro
crossing very nicely, several milel
I.avre been graded in sections, ant

THE sTAyE INDUSTRY
Big Traction Engine Operates from
BrucetOn to SOmerfield.

A great deal of stave timber is be-.
ing utilized in the mountain districts
and an extensive equipment has been
received there for producing the

slaves from Bruceton to Somerfield.
The drive of the engine measures "a
inches and the wheels are two feet
wide, the engine makes splendid road
crusher. The slaves are hauled in a
large wagon, the load being 10000
slaves. The drive wheels Of the wagon
are IL inches. The bridges have been
strengthened with additional timbers
for the immense engine to pass over.
1t is expected to make three trips a
week, and the distance of about Is

1t is said that there was never such

In the recollection OF the eldest citl-

seen the chestnut blooms loom up
most prominently and the tops of the
trees seem toppled over with blooms.
In the mountain districts the crop
prospects are good. The grass
and oats and corn crops will all be
splendid, but the apple cropIand the
prospects for other irEsG are rot good.
