IF there is man woman or child
who don't think that it was a dirty
shame to tear down the Falling Run
foot bridge before the other one was
ready to be placed the name of the
individual has not been learned. A
bridge which cost good round sum
raised by private subscription was
torn down and the people who built
it are forced to walk in mud to
their eve brows on account of the
stupidity of those whose business it
is to guard their interests.

ATTEMPTED Hold UP.
Blacksville Mail Carrier has Elk
citing Experience.

Robber stops Him in the Road aud
after Making him Throw up his
Hands Begins Firing on Him Mail
Carrier shot Robber gets away af-
ter Fierce Bombardment.
James Tenant came into Blacks
vile on New Years eve at rather
faster pace than he usually drives his
team. He is the mail carrier from
Burton to Blacksmith. The people OF
the latter place saw him coming in
about seven times faster than he had
ever arrived before and they ran out
to see what vas the matter.
Tenant was out OF breath but soon
recovered enough to tell of hold up
which had occurred couple OF miles
from town in which he had been an
unwilling actor for some time.
He was driving along after dark.
Near town he was suddenly surprised
by man who stepped out in front of
his horses and caught their heads at
the same time dwelling revolver at
the occupant OF the buggy and de-
handing that his hands go up.
They were put up. Hardly had
they reached their utmost extension
when the fellow began firing. He
fred three shots. One Of these went
through Tenants hand and another
through his cap. The third one was
wild. So was Tenant.
He thought that the robber did not
know the rules of the game very well
and he refused to play any longer.
Whipping out his own gun he began
to lombard the robber, The fellow
stood fire for a moment and then he
left.
At the second shot he screamed and
almost fell. A second robber started
at Tenant from the bushes. The
mail carrier concluded that he was
late enough with the mail as 1t stood
then and as he did not want to scrap
any more he whipped up his horses
and came to town.
No good descriptions can be gained
of the robbers. Their boldness shows
that they meant business and Ten
nant is very lucky to have escaped az
well as he did. i
No arrests have been made yet but
it is hoped to catch the men. The
point at which the hold up occurred
is in Pennsylvania.

Storm Center in south America.
Here is an item about Venezuela
given in letter from Caracas that
will be interesting:
When the Spaniards first came
they called the country Little Venice
- the Spanish for which is Vene-
zuela--because they found the ma
tlves dwelling in villages OF houses
built over the water and resting up
on piles. Even to this day the

water being planted, as one might
say, with assemblages OF huts on
stills, so that the effect is highly
picturesque.
In some respects Venezuela is the
most interesting country in the
world. 1t is larger than France
and Germany put together, having
greater area than the states OF
Texas, Colorado, Idaho, and Cali
foruia combined. The best watered
region of the earth, i has over ] 900
navigable rivers, the mightiest of
them being the Orinoco, which is
one OF the biggest rivers on the
globe The delta of the Orinoco is
nearly as large as that of the Nile,
taking in 200 miles OF coast line.

Local Members, OF the Bar Participated

AT the meeting of the State Bar
Association in Wheeling on December
80 aud 81, Morgantown was repre-
scented by Profs. Wiley and Brooke OF
the University and Il. b. Stewart ann
@. ID. Wiley attorneys at the local
Bar. The latter was made member
of the body. Speaking OF the meet
ing the Register has the following TO
say about two distinguished Morgan
town members:
Dr. st. George Il. Brooke then read
a biog raphical sketch prepared by
Judge Okey Johnson OF the late Judge
Ralph Berkshire, who was distin-
guished resident of Monongalia coun-
ty for eighty six years, out OF his long
life OF eighty seven years. 1t was q
splendid review OF the life OF one or
West Virginia's most distinguished
men,
Edgar B. Stewart Of Morgantown,
read an admirable paper on the Tor
rens system, prefacing IL with ain
apology for its incompleteness. He
had understood, when IL was too late,
that he had been expected to frame
bill for discussion by the association
for amendment, and then for presen-
tation to the Legislature. This he
did nut do through MISUNDERSTANDING
ing, but he thought such bill could
be prepared by special committee.
With these and some other PREDATORY
remarks Mr.. Stewart entered upon the
reading OF his paper, which pr0ve1 to
be an exhaustive explanation OF the
second great law Australia has given
to the world. The Torrens land law
is even more valuable measure than
the Australian ballot law, and Its
merits as contrasted with our present
system, were most admirably set
forth. Its enactment In this state
however, would probably require
constitutional amendment.

Prisoners at the Pen are Dying Rap

Cornelius johnson of Mcdowell
county is dead at the pen of con
sumption. Forty-four deaths occur

third of them we're due to this dis
