they made haul that was worth

One of the most brutal and
atrocious crimes ever enacted IN
Wetzel county occurred near I'm
iontown "Wednesday evening or
yesterday morning.
From what we can ascertain,
Wednesday evening a large man,
presumably a tramp, passed up
the road at that place near the
home Of Randolph Six. 1t is said
that a small boy saw the man 60
to the house and grab Mrs. Six
by the arm and dragged her
across the road to a corntield.
AS Mr.. Six was away at the
time, having gone to the store
some distance away to get pro-
visions, the little boy could not
notify anyone of the occurrence,
and as Mr.. Six did not return until
late at night the deed was not
known until he returned.
Immediately upon being in
formed of the affair, Mr.. Six and
several others started in pursuit
or to hunt for the woman. George
Haught and John Tuttle, two of
the party, upon crossing a corn
field were Mortified to find the
Lody of the woman lying upon the
ground with her head horribly
mutilated. 1t was crushed in
such a manner that it was impos-

Charleston, July This great
political playground is again
the scene of some kaleidoscope
tricks. Hon. Charles FaWcett
Teter was in town all day Tues
day and is said to have been IN
constant consultation with Will
liam Seymour Edwards, candl-
date for Congress from this dis
trict, and parties responsible for
the. publication of the Mail. The
sequel to these heart-tO-heart
talks is that the Mail came out
with the picture Of Teter and an
editorial which leans strongly to
the Teter side of the gubernator-

sible to tell whether she was beat
en- with a club or whether the
fiend had used gun and blown
the top of her head off in this man
ner.
There is no doubt in the minds
of the people that the brute took
her to the cornfield for the pur-
pose of ravishing her, and the
woman resisted so strongly that
he took this method of accom-
plishing his purpose.
The news of the horrible affair
spread rapidly and Officer A. E.
Patterson, who was at UniontOwn
at the time, notified Sheriff Hart
of the affair. In a short time a
number of men Of the community
were in hot pursuit of the man,
but he has not yet been captured.
Drastic measures will be utilized
if caught.
Mrs. Six was about 35 years of
age. and was one of the most
highly respected citizens of that
section of the county.
/ A man who is suspected with
having killed Mrs. Six has been
arrested, and the officers think
they have the right man. A little
6-year-old son of the deceased
thinks he can plainly and clearly
identify the murderer if they have
him under arrest.

four, but not without giving some
of them a severe clubbing to sub
:jugate them sufficiently TO take
them to Jail. They landed all four
behind the bars, and wired the
railroad officials that they had the
men in charge. They seem to
have good, strong evidence
against them, and they viii no
doubt pay a heavy penalty at the
next term of Circuit court.

AWFUL DAMAGE
OF MAD WATERS

wdded out to the building and
carried ont the sisters one by one.
The house Of Arnold Chaser was
overturned by the force of the
rushing water. The five members
of the family had sought safety
in one of the upper rooms. All
succeeded in reaching land by
swimming or wading..
Miss Blanche Bush, a clerk in
a news stand at Mcdonald, had a
narrow escape. The store was
lifted from its place and swept
into the stream. Miss Bush was
caught in the structure and as it
foated away she screamed for
help. Her cries were heard by
George Hemmeriing, an oil oper-
ator. He plunged into the water
and swan out to the buildings
and swan back again, taking
Miss Bush with him. Both the
electric ighi plants at Mcdonald
were flooded and the town was in
total darkness. The food did not
subside until daylight and many
families slept out doors all night.
Railroad traffic on the Pan-Han-
die was completely tied up, but
is now beginning to resume its
