HOW 1T REALLY WAS.
Policeman Ganoe Explains Everything
! Satisfactorily.

Policeman Canoe does not like the
impression which some people have OF
his little escapade Of Thursday. He
says that there is nothing in the
story which has been told about him.
He did shoot his gun while stand
ing on the bank and hailing the boat.
But he knew the pilot very well and
shot in the air just for fun. Every
body understood that when it was
done.
As for swearing he would never
think of such a thing. And about
arresting the boy on the boat, why
the lad was very drunk and it was to
get him quiet that he was told he
would be arrested. His mother asked
that this be done.

story That 1t Was Built BY Special
Act Of Virginia Assembly Unbound.
ed-Question Of Raxing II Agitated
Fer 80 Years.
The statement has been made by
some, on apparently coed authority
that the porch in front of the old
Moreland property. which is now no
more, was built there some 70 years
ago by a special act OF the Virginia
Legislature. Where the story started
is hard to tell, but it seemed to have
sufficient foundation to call for an
investigation. This was made, but
no trace of any such act could be
found in the acts of the Virginia
Assembly. There was probably no
truth in the story.
The question of tearing that porch
away has been agitated for over so
years, 1t is said. One man now
nearly so years old. says he remem-
hers when he was a mere boz of
going there and sitting on it, while
his mother was inside listening to a
funeral service. He says at that
time there was talk of razing it.
Mayor McGrew himself knows
that the question has been consider
ed for at least 33 years. He takes
some comfort in the knowledge that
its destruction is at last accomplish
ed under his administration.

Mob Went After Chief Price on
Monday Afternoon.

Charge Of Price and Brought him t.
Town-Mob searched Train for thefI
Man but Failed to Find Him.
There was considerable excite
ment at Cascade Park yesterday
over the fight which took place
between Chief r. B. Price and Rob
ert Bloom. Bloom was badly hurt
in the scrap and required surgical
attention.
An eve witness of the affair states
that Bloom and Policeman Yoke
became engaged In an alteration
over the arrest of horse by the
policeman. The animal had been
running at large and complaint was
made SO that the animal was placed
in the pound.
Bloom resented this act and &C
costed the policeman in regard to it..
During the argument he and Price
became involved in a quarrel and
Price struck him. Bloom in falling
struck a stone with the back of his
head and was badly cut. He was
brought to town and his wound
sewed up. He was then taken to
his home.
Some OF the crowd resented the
assault bitterly and some talked of
lynching. They tore down a tent
and procured a rope and began to
hunt for Price after he had gone
away from the crowd.
When the train passed the Park
on its way to Morgantown, the
crowd boarded it and searched for
Price. They failed to find him.
Some of them remained on the train
and others waited at the Park, but
they did not see the officer any
more.
Price went before a magistrate in
Preston county and confessed to the
assault. He was fined IS and costs,
which he paid.
Price was brought to town in
carriage by the officer and did not
meet any of those who were thirst
ing for his blood.
Mr. Bloom is getting along well
today and it is not thought that he
ia seriously hurt.

The Public schools of the city
opened this morning with larger
attendance than ever before known
on the first day. The High schoo
has 60 pupils enrolled. This il

All of the teachers are present
aud the number is the greater than
ever before. The schools at Marilla
Wiles Hill and Seneca all opened
this mornin g, with large atten
dance at each.
1t is impossible to tell just how
many pupils are enrolled today
The rooms at tue High school build
ing are all full to overlooking. liz
one room that is planned to accom-
modate AZ pupils, there are 55. Tc
the casual observer, it seems that
all the children in the state are
entering the school building.
The new teachers, from New \ ork
New Jersey and Sistersville concur
in the opinion that they never saw
brighter .lot of children on the
first day of school. they are all
neat and clean, and seem to fall into
their places easily and naturally.
There are probably 100 new child
rem. There came from several states
and FROM all counties in this state
almost. Several families from Vir.
ginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania are
represented. Marion, Preston, Bar
bour, Harrison, Tyler, and other
counties are well represented. Pres
ton county has sent big delegation
Everything is moving along
smoothly and the promise is bright
for successful year. Supt Gallup
