This was the statement made to a

opinion that Mr.. Dawson will be a

DEPUTIES FIRED UPON.
Many Shots Exchanged but No One
Hurt-Double Funeral Today.


Trinidad, Col, Dec. 1o-While a
number of deputies and clerks were
driving from Berwind to Tobasco,
they were fired upon by several men
hidden behind rocks and brush They
jumped from the wagon and returned
the fire. The shooting continued at
intervals for. 80 minutes, though no
one was inbred. Sheriff Clerk and
posse were preparing to leave for the
scene on a special train when word
was received that reinforcements of
guards had arrived from Tobasco, half
d mile away, and the ambush party
fed No arrests were made. The
trouble is said to have originated
when miner came into the mine Of
fee at Berwind and became very
abusive He was kicked out by a
deputy, and it is thought that he
ficulty.
The double funeral of Velano and
Band, the miners killed by guards in
the battle at Segundo Monday night,
will be held in Trinidad from the
Catholic church this afternoon under
the auspices of the miners union.
This being the first bloodshed since
the strike began, great preparations
are being made for a demonstration.
Over 1000 union miners are expected
to march in the funeral parade. The
relations between the miners and
guards at Segundo are still strained,
and trouble is expected there at any
time.

BIG COLLEGE FOUT-BALL
Harvard Athletic Committee Decides
to Continue the Games for the
Present.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. I0.-The
Athletic Committee of Harvard Uni
versity, which vas asked by the
faculty OF arts and science to report
whether the big college foot ball
contests should be discontinued re-
ported today that such action is not
advisable at present The report
says in part:
"The question was discussed by
the general committee and also a
conference was arranged between
prominent foot ball coaches and
former members OF the foot ball team
and the committee Itself. A fun
and frank discussion followed in
which were stated the objections to
the game which had been made at
the meetings of the faculty
THE concensus of opinion was to
the effect that the game had inn
proved in many of its features in
recent years; that the feeling be-
tween opposing teams, and partieu-
larly between Harvard and Yale,
was of friendly nature, aud that
an effort should be made to modify
certain apparently Objectionable
features.
The committee ventures to ex-
press the opinion that the game oil
foot ball IS only one of many dis
fractions in college life, and that
there is no evidence that its aboli-
ton would be necessary TO turn the
attention OF students to more serious
pursuits

DANIEL BOONE
Named Cheat River Years ago from Its
many Peeuliarities.

The following explanation OF how
Cheat river got its name is taken from
the Nicholas Chronicles:
The theory.has been advanced that
Daniel Boone in crossing Cheat noun
tain found a stream ripping along the
top of the mountain instead OF flow
ing peacefully at its base, as is gener-
ally the custom of rivers in this and
every other Christian country. The
water also ran in an opposite dire ction
from the waters of the Greenbrier at
the foot of the mountain. Uncle Dan
iel was somewhat turned about in his
calculations and being fooled by the
clearness of the water, got wet nearly
to the waist when he only bargained
for enough water to reach his knees,
and he forthwith decreed that the
river that flowed along the top of the
mountain, IN the wrong direction, and
whose waters were so clear as to foo
an old woodsman as himself should
theneefOrth and forever bear the name
of Cheat.

A Thousand Inhabitants Petition CRY
For Modern Improvements.

The inhabitants of Wiles Hill
want water They also want some
new board walks and street cars. A
big petition for the board walks
was presented to council last Mon
day. Another petition just as big
is being circulated asking for water.
One ofthe petitioners writes to the
NEW DOMINION as follows:
with two or three hundred houses
on Wiles Hill and nearly thousand
inhabitants, it is an outrage, not to
have the city water on the hill. A
large petition asking for new side
walks was presented to the council
last Monday night and the city
fathers would do we'll to order the
water mains up the hill also. 1t
would seem that it would be pay
ing investment for the Union Utility
Co., to run not only Its water into
North Morgantown, but also its
street car tracks.
