HUNG IN EFFIGY
Rude Figures Adorned Campus
Trees This Morning.

.'Judas Isearioi' and tue Donkey
Placarded-S Students Presumed ia
be Represented Result Of Class
Election Fight Last Fall.
Two rude efiigies, made mostly OF
cast eff underclothes stuffed with
straw, adorned the bare branches OF
the trees on the University campus,
opposite Commencement Hall, when
the sun cane up this morning. The
significance of the images was ex-
planned by two large placards. One
Of these bore the information, This
is the Judas Iscariot of the Junior
Law Class" The second had the
word "McFatty.n over rude picture
OF donkey, followed by the words,
'.of the law school, Ii does not
require an expert in hieroglyphies to
interpret the meaning.
The Judas Iscariet is supposed to
represent w. L Seibert, OF Martins
burg. File. member of the Junior
law class, once referred to him by
that title in an election fight The
other is presumed to be Mcfarland,
OF Parkersburg, from the fact that
"Fatty' is often applied to him by
his intimates as a nickname.
1t is also presumed that the figures
were hung by the members of the
Junior law class who are not candi-
dates for degrees-in other words,
the bar men. So far as can be learn
ed, the demonstration grew out of
the election fight last fall,
The bar men sought control of the
class, and the degree .aen objected.
Seibert is bar man, but voted with
the degree men. As usual, in such
class fights, the contest was largely
between the frat men and the mon. frat
men Mcfarland vas not frat man
when the contest began, although
pledge. lie was initiated a few
nights before the election aud voted
with the frat men.
The old wounds were re -opened
short time ago by scrap over the
class picture for the annual. The
degree men voted TO have the picture
made without the bar men in IT, The
bar men thought they looked as good
as the other men, anyway, and Bit
terry resented the imputation, Some
of the degree men were in sympathy
With them.
1t is not known whether or not the
University authorities will take any
action in the natter or pass il as a
college prank without significance.

A MARES NEST
Exploited by Local Paper with
great Gusto.
Mr.. ). r.. Pinnell is Here to See
Wot tell business Man Hunting Lo-
cation Here has Funny Experience
Attorney Doesn't Want Him to Bring
Suit for Obvious Reasons.

j. r. Plnnell, of Clarksburg, is in
town with blood in his eye and a
thirst for justice in his breast. He
| is the gentleman who was written up
rather enthusiastically by an evening
paper in town which had listened to
the tale OF woe poured into ,ts large
and itching ears and had goobled The
bait with avidity-
Mr.. Plnnell was here for several
days He was hunting tor a bust
ness location, and conducted some
negotiations with the Globe owners
on Walnut street. He decided not
to buy them out and left town In a
hurry, having been called to Toledo
by an urgent message to attend to
some business in which his wife was
interested. She had accom- panied
him to Morgantown and left with
him.
1t was alleged in tie pipe-dream
that Mr.. PInnell had given several
checks which were honored at the
bang, and that be lad gone away
without buying business house,
and had even neglected to ask per-
mission of his attorney to do so.
The attorneys name was not given.
The story was related to this paper
by Mr.. Pope Theodorefi, who had
been with Mr.. Pinnell and who felt
that he had been wronged because
Mr.. Pinnell had not purchased the
business and paid him commission.
After investigation it was found that
there was nothing at all in the story
to warrant any sensational publica-
zion, and it was turned down by the
New DOMINION. 1t appeared under
glaring headlines with much hectic
language in another paper.
Now for the sequel. Mr.. Pinnell
went from Toledo to Cincinnati, and
returned to his former home in
Clarksburg where he heard of the
publication. He came to Morgan
town intent on having things squar-
ed. He says that ne expected to
locate here and still expects to do so
il he finds what he wants.
For several years he has been trav-
cling for Price Brothers, OF Phila
and recently resigned to go
into business for himself. He be-
lleyed that Morgantewn was good
place to locate and came here to in
vestigate. Before he had finished he
was called away from town. he paid
every debt which he had incurred,
and left the town expecting to re-
turn.
Mr.. Pinnell is son of DR.. j. II.
Pipneli of Clarksburg vino is well
known in this section of the state. He
has always born a good reputation
and the publication was in the minds
OF his friends uncalled for and unwise.
On reaching here this morning he
called on Mr.. Theodoroff and asked
him to institute suit for damages
against the paper which had used the
story but the attorney earnestly ad
vised him to do nothing of the kind
but insisted on letting the matter
drop as nothing would come of the
effort to right the wrong which had
been DONE However, Mr.. Pinnell
stated to this paper that he intended
to sifJ the thing to the bottom and
take whatever steps he found advisa-
bic. In the meantime he is consult
ing another attorney.

MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS.
Mayor McGrew and Recorder
Sisler Make Statements.
They Would Like to Serve the rublIc
for Another Year--iIet Fight Likely
for Mayeralty Gossip About tho
Entries and other Matters In Connec-
ton with the Fight.

Major McGrew has announced his
candidacy for reelection as Mayor
of the City of Iorgantown. 1t has
been generally unders God for some
time that he would he willing to
serve The city again in that capacity
If the voters SO desired, but no
formal declaration Was made until
recently The announcement was
greeted with enthusiasm on the part
o. many who have just apprecia-
liol OF his services to the city dur
ing the past year, and iie has already
received the assurances of great
many people that his lc-election will
be earnestly sought by them.
Major McGrew has, beyond ques-
ton, been the best Mayor Morgan
town has ever had This Is true not
because men OF equal ability and
integrity have not previously filed
the position, but because ne has given
bis whole time and attention to the
affairs Of the city, which no one else
ever did. He has established sys-
tenn in all The city's departments,
has had regular hours at which to
try prisoners, and has personally
supervised much that has been done
In the way OF improvements and tho
abatement of nuisances. He has
always stoed for the best interests Of
the city and its people as a whole,
undismayed by the opposition Of the
powers that be, and has never ialter-
cd in the performance OF any public
duty, no matter how distasteful it
may have been so him personally.
His strongest claim for reelection
will be his record during the past
year.
Fl. T. Sisler, the present Recorder,
also announces himself as candl-
date for reelection. This is his first
public statement Of the fact, though
his candidacy has been talked of
privately for some time. His record
also, is strong argument for his re-
election He mas performed the nu-
merous duties OF the Office in q
manner thoroughly satisfactory to
all, and not in single instance can
neglect be charged. lie has placed
the interests of The city and Its peo-
pie ahead Of all others and can be
depended upon to do SO in the future.
A l. Demoss, present councilman
from the Fourth ward, is not cazl
didate for the recordership and ne
has been. He was urged to run,
stated this morning that he had
intention OF doing SO Up-to-datl
Mr.. Sisler has tie field to himself.
W. w. Smith is said TO be ambitious
to succeed Mr.. Demoss as council
man in the Fourth ward.
Mayor McGrew's only opponent
for the Mayoralty is Mr.. j. Ami
Martin. He has been mentioned for
the place before at preceding cleo
lions and has always had q follow
ing, as well as strong backing In
certain quarters. His ability aud
integrity cannot be questioned, and
he is closely identified with some OF
the biggest interests of the city. The
race will, no doubt, be between him
and Major McGrew. These candi-
dates are all Republicans and pro-
pose to submit themselves to q PHI
mary for nomination.

John jenkins of Mount Morris
was in town on Wednesday and
started for home somewhat exhiler
ated by the sights and sounds OF
town not to mention the added bliss
which had come to him in liquid
form from various sources. On the
west side he had an experience
which curled the hair left on his
head. The other hirsute adornments
were removed with dispatch if not
neatness.
HIS horse frightened at passing
trolley car and ran away. Mr.. Jen-
kins was thrown cut of the buggy
and lit squarely in front of the car
He says that the car ran over him
three times before he could get away
This is probably heated statement
and will very likely not gee with the
facts in the case.
Certain it is however that Mr.
Jenkins had fricaseed face when
he got to Mount Morris and as ex
hibit GA it must be taken until
better evidence is presented. Three
doctors did what they could to mend
the injured countenance and it is
hoped that his beauty Will not be
forever destroyed.
The face is being carried i'll a sling
today and it will remain IN seclnsior
for some time One resident of Mt
Morris who has been considered 8

pieces of hide we're torn from the
face and head of Jenkins.
Something has happened to hin

of the accident is incorrect in som,

One of Its lnmates-An0ther Case.

the PeBinsGla-Man Has Deserted
His Wife and Children on Account o.
One of Its lnmates-Anoiher Case.
Several people of town have been
talking OF a case which they have
been watching more or less closely
for some time. 1t is that of mar
ried man who has practically desert
ed his wife and three children and
who is associating with low people
who are conducting dive of the
yilest nature within the corporate
limits Of the town.
The deserted wife is said to be a
pretty and intelligent little woman
VI no has made a brave fight against
tie circumstances which confron,
her. She has three children, one
six years, one four years, and the
other about two months of age.
Her husband was formerly propri
etor o. business place on High
street. He fell in with woman of
loose morals on Labor Day and every
thing has been all off since that
time. Some times he goes home dur
ing the day and at other times he
does not go for weeks, but consorts
with the woman on whom he spends
what money he can rake together.
The place which is being run by
these people is somewhere near the
Peninsula 1t is said to be dive of
the worst character. Recently a
young woman from near town enter
ed the place. She is but Is years OF
age. Her father located her and
tried to get her to leave it, but she
refused stolidly and is said 10 be
still there.
1t should not be difficult for the
authorities to find out about this
place ana to run its inmates out of
town or into Jail. Morgantown does
not have any room for such estab-
lisnments The case of the man who
has deserted his family should be
strictly investigated and he should
be given wha' is coming to him.
