beside him.
He talked Ike a lunatic,'' said Mr.
Foy, and ! winked at the conductor
and told him he had better take care or
the man"
The mailman overheard the remark,
and when the train pulled out Of Mount
Vernon he marched up and down the
aisle declaring IN loud words:
That man Is trying TO Kill me-!
Caught Him by Throat
He stopped directly in front of Eddie
Foy's seat and clutched him by the
throat. Hold on. there, partner" said
Eddie; wait a minute until l talk this
subject over with you
In a moment the car was in an up
roar, and commuters who recognized the
comedian rushed to his assistance: hf
actor fought desperately. and nnaly GlI-
man. the conductor, and three other pas
seugers broke the mans hold.
When the train reached Port ChesteI

NOTED CROOK IN TOLLS.
A. D. Huggins is Confined in the
Washington Jail.

Washington, Pa, March 81
According to evidence received in
Washington almost daily it is be-
lieved that a. D. Higgins, of
Friendly, w. Va, now incarcera-
ted in the Washington county Jail
on a charge of passing bogus
checks. is a much wanted and no.
torious crook. His operations in
the Pan Handle Gistric! of West
Virginia are sad 10 have been cX-
tensive and his gleanii,@S are es-
timated at about $500. 1t is not
known what disposition ne has
made Of this money.
1t is the opinicI Of the author
tiles that he nal IN accomplice
who worked Wi,h him III opcrat-
ing West Virginia aIi assisted
him in getting away after he had
worked" a community. The be-
lief is that IlugglnS came OEfr IN
TO Pennsylvania anil intended to
continue his business in this
State. Local officers stopped his
alleged career and the authori-
ties believe that he can be held
easily on the charges preferre |
against him.
1t was expected that an officer
from st. Marys, ". Va, would
be in Washington yesterday to
identify the man, but Sheriff Ca
.rothers stated last night that no
one had appeared. An attempt
at Identification will probably be
made today, however.
Huggins, or as he says. ullum,
takes jail life easily. He is a big,
robust man and evidently well
able to care for himself. He con-
tinues to assert his innocence Of
any charge that is brought against
him.

SISTERSVILLE GROWING
Facts and Figures Show We Grow
Steady

There are people so constituted
that they cannot see anything in
Sistersville but death and decay.
If you inquire of them how the
city is prospering they begin al
once to seek out some dark spot
! to magnify into some dreadful
disaster. They are born that way.
They are the people who buy lots
in the suburbs of Pittsburg for
$500 a lot, keep it five years aud
sell it for $50, or else give it away
! They also deal in Steel stocks,
/ Gulfport lots, Niagara Falls, Tex
as, Kansas and so on. They never
invest a dollar here if they can
avoid it; it's always some other
city, but the money used to ir-
dulge their wild and silly specu-
latiOns in is all made in Sisters.
vile and Tyler county. But not
! withstanding all of these 'lraw-
backs and discouragements Sis
! tersville is growing right along Ill
a good steady way. There is no
better city in the United States to
live in, to make money, and that Is
enjoying such a healthy boom as
we have.
It's very easy to compose type
to tell the public we have been
booming, but boom articels don t
90 very well in this city. A boom
article in Hayti, Cuba or some
other port goes, but here we have
to have cold hard facts, and we
can give them.
One week ago today we pOIled
in round numbers 100 more votes
than we did at the municipal elec-
ton of 1903. We did this in spite
of the fact that quite a number
of families have moved from our
city for various reasons. This, OF
course. does not include the voters
of Gerry Owen, and the election
this fall will show that Lincoln
district will poll about one-half of
the total vote of the county. Ac-
! cording to the way estimates are
made 100 new voters means a
population of 500 new people who
have moved here during the past
year. which is a very nice In
crease and shows a good healthy
growth.
