.HABEAS CORPUS
PROCEEDlNGSFOR RELEASE
OF PRISONERS
In THE C0UETY JAIL
Grand Jury Failed to In
dict William Rea.

Attorney William Simpson, counsel
for Frank l.. Rea, of Minerva, who Is
in Jail resting under the charge of
horsestealing, made application yester-
day for writ of habeas corpus to Sc
cure the release of Rea from confine-
ment.
The grounds upon which the writ
was asked were first that the grand
jury had failed to indict him, and sec.
ond that his case had been certified
down to the probate court by the pros.
ecutor, and that the probate court had
no jurisdiction in felonies; that the
charge had been changed to taking or
leading horse away, but that the nit
timus under which he is held was for
horsestealing only and the prisoner
could not be held under any other
charge. Prosecuting Attorney Day
combatted the contention of Reas
attorney and the matter was argued to
some extent before Judge Amber, who
continued the hearing until Friday.
The application raises a nice point of
law. 1t is claimed that the state will
order his re-arrest If Rea is released.

Mystery of the Virginia Mountains Likely to be
Cleared DeCayed Remains Carefully Guard

is no doubt whatever that the body
accidentally discovered last night on

ber, while riding over some of the
Virginia Coal & Iron Coz lands which
the Wentz family controlled and of
which the missing man was general
manager. The body lies about one
mile from where Wentz's horse was
found on the day of his disappearance
and is considerably off the road lead
ing to the place where he had started
and very near road leading TO anoth-
er part of their lands
Another mystery Is that the body
was not discovered when the general
search was made by the 1000 men on
the payroll of the Wentz plants at
Stone Gap and Oskasa, assisted by the
public generally for more than two
weeks following his disappearance.
The only way this can be accounted
for is that the body lies in a space
of ground known in forest parlance
as fire scald'' where most of the
timber has been killed by forest fires
and which grows up in sprouts and
weeds. At the season of year when
Wentz disappeared the leaves and
weeds were much of the color of the
clothing he wore. The recent fire
had burned all this away and the body
can now easily be seen. 1t lies in q

INTREPID JAPANESE SOLDIERS
Only Trouble About Securing ''ForIOm Hopes" is
the Number of Men Anxious TO Risk Their
Lives...Russan Retreat Causes Surprise.

Toxic, May. 10.-Uondon Times.)-
The Japanese commanding officers are
having absolutely no trouble securing
men for forlorn hopes. This fact was
never better exemplified than when
volunteers were called for to man the
eight steamers used in the last attack
on Port Arthur which were sunk to
bottle up the Russian fleet. Twenty
thousand men volunteered for this
service and the task of picking out
those who were to go was a very diff
cult one.
The naval force which landed on the
Liau Tung peninsula consisted of two
batalllons of sailors who were picked
for the task and who had been waiting
on board of two transports since
April o.
Pril-An-Tien which the japanese
troops seized on Friday last was the
point which the Chinese attacked dur
ing the last war when they attempted
to cut the line of communication of the
Japanese land force which was invest
ing Port Arthur.
Japanese naval strategists express
great surprise that the Russians are
abandoning all OF the strategical points
in southern Manchuria without a
fight. This means that they will have
a very hard task assuming the Often

Immediately after the Russians were

THE v. { |. F.
SHOPS MUST REMAIN IN
CANTON.

A large number of the prominent
business men of Canton met yesterday
morning in the assembly room of the
city hall to devise ways and means
for retaining in this city the Wheeling
linger, president Of the Board of
Trade, was chairman of the meeting,
and Secretary John e. Monnot. of
that body, was selected to keep tAe
record of the meeting.
All those present were enthusiastic
in the idea of retaining the shops in
this city and there was no debate
over the proposition.
President Zollinger stated the case
very succinctly, as has been set forth
in the Morning News on several oCCa-
sions. He told how the Wheeling C
Lake Erie company will rebuild the
shops in Canton ii it can secure GER
tain lots necessary for the contemplate
ed improvements, and for which the
people of the city are asked to contri-
butte only $4,000. If this is done the
company agrees to eXpend 100000
within six months. eBtween 800 and
$50 employees will, in that event, be
retained in Canton; otherwise they will
go elsewhere, and the city will sustain
a loss Of about $l5000O year in
wages.
Remarks favorable to the project
were made by l.. A. Loichot. David
collars, Johnson Sherrick, II. II. Mil
Ter, John e. Monnot and others. On
motion OF Isaac Harter committees to
solicit subscriptions were appointed,
the chairmen of which will report 20
