Mr.. Whit W. Haltiwsnger is hop
ping about with sprained leg. Mr..
HaltiwaDger received the sprain by
mis- horse falling on him. BE said
hat he didn't lose anything by it
except HE religion.
Mr.. Mitchell Shealy and his faith
ul companion, ,Rbett Clark, were
: fishing few nights ago on the pond
They hooked monster and after
Juggling and scuhling for about half
Al hour, Mr.. Shealy was pulled vIo-
lently into the water. After a lively
~cuffie Master Rhett succeeded in
quilting him out. Mitchell stands
next to John Amick as fisherman.

Mr.. John Amick went fishing
few days ago. He had bent

largest cat fish that ever swan be-
meath the water surface of old
Waseree and he would have caug ht
more but be hooked an uncommon
large eel, after hard pull and by
the aid of his brother, Walter, he
succeeded in pulling the eel to the
bank. They raise d his head far enough
out of the water to see his eyes,
which were about tie size of
silver dollar and were set about nine
inches apart in his head; then by a
sudden snatch the eel bit off the line
and the way be went down the creek.
They heard him jump over the mill
dam hslf-miIe down the creek; John
was left standing on the bank with
his hookless line and pole in his
hand looking wishfully after the eel
and the tear drops we're rolling down
bis cheeks as long as pumpkin.

GRAFTON, June 15-Cleo Woodford
and Chas. Finnell and Jas. G. Fra
zier of Morgantown were in the city
yesterday on business. Messrs.
Finnell and Frazier are successful
real estate dealers, who, seeing the
bright future of this city, come here
with a view to handling block OF
lots, not as boomers, but as live, real
estate men, buying, building, and
selling at private sale. These gen
tlemen have done much toward the
building up of Morgantown and
should they receive encouragement
from our people and enter into bust
ness in this city there is no doubt
but what they will bring with them
considerable capital from their home
as their people have confidence in
their judgement on values of real es-
tate, having always been treated
fairly by them. They will return
to Grafton in the near future and
endeavor to make some deals with
our people.

TWO CENTS
DOWN THE BOUNDING CHEAT
Went a Pittsburg Couple in
Light Canoe.

Some Thrilling Experiences on the
Route --OneAlmost Fatal Accident
Snakes In Large Numbers were Kill
ed-Rare Relics Secured-Another
Trip TO be Taken Next Year.
L. II. Mcintosh and Mrs. McIn-
tosh, lis wife, of Pittsburg, passed
through Morgantown en- route home.
They stopped at the Peabody where
their garb of the tourist attracted the
attention of NEW DOMINION pepre-
sentative. Mr.. and Mrs. Mcintosh
had Just concluded a weeks outing
on Cheat river in Preston county
where they had round OF exhilera-
ting and sometimes exciting exper-
fences.
They took with them canoe built
to order for shooting rapids. 1t is
called "maklinawlp" which is the
Indian name for Red Arrow. In
this canoe, with nothing to propel
or steer but paddles, the McIntosh's
travelled from Trowlridge's Ferry
above Kingwood to the Falls below
Albrights. They shot many narrow
and dangerous places OF which per-
haps the mason Rapids" are the
most dangerous.
Only once did their csnce brush
rock yet at one dangerous point
the end containing Mrs. Mcintosh
was elevated entirely out OF the
water, so high that her paddle could
not touch the water. They encoun-
tered much risk and peril but seem
ed to enjoy the excitement.
Both were much benefited by
their outing and declare their in
tention of returning next summer
and shooting the falls. making the
river journey clear to Point Marion.
They had to abandon the falls ex-
pertinent on account OF sudden .
foot rise and lack of time.
The McIntosh's are experienced
canoeists, and have travelled extern
siyely Northwest. They had COM
plete camp outfit which when at
tached to their canoe at night made
a good tent and bed, sleeping in the
canoe upon the bank.
The couple killed II snakes some
of which were copperheads. Mrs.
Mcintosh shot the head of a huge
blue racer which was attacking her.
They secured also from country
people some rare relics in old blue
china, old clocks, lamps etc. They
speak in high terms of praise of the
people whom they met who extended
many courtesies and unbounded
hospitality.
"West Virginians are more friend
ly than Pennsylvanians' said Mr..
Mcintosh who is "Hoosier State
boy. His better nine.tenths' is Of
Michigan. On this trip they re
versed the domestic customs. Mr..
Mcintosh doing the cooking etc.
which his wife attests was "as good
as Delmonico's. Mr.. Mcintosh is
connected with tbs Geo. A. Fuller
