DEPUTY WATSON
GOT. HIS MAN
WENT TO OHIO AFTER FRED
WEBB, WHO'S WANTED t.ERE
ON CHARGE OF STEALING.

Deputy Sheriff Watson left for To
1edo, Ohio, yesterday morning where
he went to arrest and bring back to
this city Fred Webb, charged with
stealing tools, paints and oils from
the store house of the BelIeview I'm
provement Company some time ago.
Accounts of the crimc were printed
in the local papers at the time it was
committed and it Will DE remembered
that search warrants were issued.
When Webb's house was searched
the family became very indignant and
said that some one would nave to pay
dearly for the insult. Later Watson
found most of the stolen property hid
away beneath a false floor in a water
closet not far from the place from
which they had been taken.
Evidence was secured against Webb
but before he could be arrested he was
gone. Watson was determined to get
him if possible and ever since has
been trying to find him. The first of
this week the man was located in To-
ledo and the local authorities noti-
fed. Watson went at once to the
place to see about the matter and
bring him back he.e to answer the
charge.
1t is not known whetlre:. the man
is under arrest in the Ohio city or
not. The local officer may have TO
stay there several days before finding
him and it may be necessary TO get
eXtraduion papers. 1t is thought the
charge can be proven against the
man.
Later-Word has been received
from Watson stating thar he his ar
rested the man in Monroe county,
Michigan. This shows that the officer
Went with the fixed purpose to get his
man. He is expected here soon.

TEDDY IS TIE FRIEND OF THE
WAGE WORKER.
(From the Labor World.

iFTOu w Orlu-
William Little, member of the
I National Executive Board of the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America, is one
of the most observing among all trade
union officials. His opportunities for
finding out how wage workers feel
toward this or that public question
or man are great and he never fails
to safely increase his knowledge in
this direction.
During conversation the other
day Mr.. Little declared himself en-
phatically on the question of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's election. Mr. Lit
tie thinks there is no doubt whatever
regarding the election of Teddy
as he is Familiarity called among the
wage earners. 81 have recently been
travelling considerably among the
wage workers. said Mr.. Little "and
it seems to me that there is nothing Or
nobody in it but Roosevelt. I find a
Roosevelt sentiment prevailing among
those who do not take much interest
in politics as well as among those
who do Roosevelt will certainly have
a big vote among the wor!>ingnen
for it is their firm conviction that he
is their friend And let me remark
that he is a true friend. nave
watched his policy toward organized
labor ever since he became public

sincere sympathy With the man who
works for wages. There is no deny

We do not want TO throw our vote

If Dawsonism is what we think il
is. it will build up every business in
terest in the State, in the future as it
has in the past.
Mr.. Dawson believes in the equai-
cation of taxes, as we are Informed,
in such a way that no interest, call
ing or business viii be oppressed, yet
so that all species of property will
pay their just share of taxes. He
favors the raising of money for State
purposes as far as possible without
direct taxation. He has done more
to secure cash to Keep up the State,
than any other man in it. The cor
poration law of which he is the au-
thor. is good for three or four hun
dred thousand dollars a year.
Why should Mr. Dawson seek to
Cypress the business interests of the
State? He loves West Virginia. He
has seen it make wonderful advance
under Republican administrations Of
which he is a part and is himself
largely responsible for that advance
