Then began the greatest race in the
history of that town whose name is so
hard to remember. Jones had his gun

He did not and the officer fired. The

that all the men went out at the back
doors and the women screamed and
tainted. The children crept under the
beds.
Coming in on the last round Jones
was little tired and thought he could
reduce the other mans speed by
knocking off his boot heels. He fired
again and the man screamed like an
Apache. Twenty feet further the man
fell ''shot through the hearth" He may
have thought so but he was not touch

lying on his back, his eyes shut, look
ing as if his spirit had taken its
flight. Watson arrived and when the
nippers were put on his hands, the
man revived ind called back his spirit.
He proved to be McBee and was
brought to jail. Carr was not found
at that time.

JONES AND WATSON HAD AN Ex-
CITING EXPERIENCE LAST
NlGHT-WOMENS SCREAM
ED AND CRIED.

Yesterday was day of trials and
51ribulations in that little city situated
on hill between Uztown and Barnes
VILE, the official title OF which has
slipped our memory at this time. The
place is not far from the Hutchinson
Barns brick yards and will be remem-
bered by it's former mention in this
paper.
A hurry call was sent in to the sher-
IFS Office yesterday afternoon and
Deputy Watson. Constable Jones and
Policeman Gould went out to see what
the excitement was. When they ar
rived there. it seemed that about
dozen of the inhabitants had taken the
day for general drunk. The liquor
was the fighting kind that has caused
many man (and woman) to look out
of one eye for days. But OH the
brutes! 1t was claimed that H D. Nc
Bee and Blaine Carr had horribly
beaten Minnie Mcdonald. Warrants
were sworn out but the men were not
to be found. After thorough search
the officers returned empty handed.
Last night about the time the crowd
had gathered around the Grand Opera
i1ouSe upon lne arrival OF certain
officer who has business wherever he
goes, Constable Jones received word
that, if he would come to a certain
house near the brick yards he would
be able to learn where the culprits
We're. He found Deputy Watson and
went at once. Upon their arrival at
the house man and woman were
seen standing in the back yard An
other man met them in the road and
informed them that the man was one
of those wanted. Watson Went around

THE CITY WAS in A FEVER OF Ex
HI CiTEMENT ALL DAY YESTER-
DAY OVER THE SACRED
CONCERT PROPOSITION.

At late hour Saturday the Mayors
attitude was unchanged in regard tc
the Sacred Concert to be given at the
Grand Opera House Sunday evening
z by the Boys Symphony Orchestra OF
New York, and he had signif1ed his in
tention to arrest all parties partici-
pating in said production. The direc-
tors of the theatre held a meeting
about seven o'clock Saturday evening
and applied to Judge John w. Mason
for an injunction preventing the city S
intervention. This the Judge refused
to grant as he had declined to act in
a similar case a year ago restraining
the city of Clarksburg from interfer-
ing with the appearance of "a Desper-
ate Chance''sin that city.
Judge Mason, however, endeavored
to arrange an adjustment of the mat
ter and thought that inasmuch as the
Opera House management had been
given encouragement by the Mayor,
City Clerk and other ministers, that
the concert should be allowed TO pro-
ceed and the legality tested afterward.
The directors repaired to the Office
of E. r. Hartley, the company's attor-
Hey, ,z-WnGres Cne mater was gone over
carefully and it was decided to pray
the Hon John ]. Jackson, Judge of
the Circuit Court of the United States
Tor the Northern district OF West Vir-
8ginia, for the necessary injunction.
The meeting decided that its attorney,
Mr.. Hartley, and Mr.. E. NJ. Showa1ter
should apply to Judge Jackson in per-
son at the earliest possible moment.
the two attorneys depart
ed on No. s for Parkersburg. They
arrived in the city about noon and
presented the petition. The bill set
forth that Henry Pincus, manager of
the Boys Symphony Orchestra, had
contracted with J. E. Powell, manager |
of the Grand Opera House, to play a |
sacred concert in Fairmont on Sep |
tember 25, stating the price of adnis-
sion to be charged. the amount guar
anteed the said Henry Pincus, and fur
ther stating that all moneys over and
above expenses should be used for
purposes; that the City of
officials had expressed their
intention of arresting and jailing the
of the company. The plain
tiff alleges that this would do him
irreparable damage, giving as one rea-

SACRED CONCERT WAS HIGHLY ENJOYED

Seven O'Clock found a large and
| constantly increasing crowd near the
opera house last night. In the after
noon posters had been put up an
| nouncing the positive arrival OF the
Boys Symphony Orchestra. and of
the concert to be given, as advertised,
in the evening. The box Office was
rot opened quite so soon as originally
| intended, but the crowd was very pa
tlent knowing that ample time would
lie afforded all to purchase their
tickets, but it was interesting to hear
the comments of the crowd and the
discussion of the events of the past
few days. Attorney John L. Lehman
made a couple of short speeches from
tie balcony platform announcing the
managers intention of opening the
doors within a short period, and as
suring the crowd that the concert
would certainly be given. Enthus |
astic cheers and hand-clapping greet |
cd his remarks, and again the crowd |
eagerly discussed the situation among |
themselves while they awaited the
arrangements further movements. |
Just as the hands of the town clock
pointed to ten minutes after eight a
carriage was driven rapidly down TO
the entrance and a moment after the
doors were flung open and the crowd
had begun 10 pour in By nine
O'clock the house was comfortably fill
ed with an appreciative and thor
oughly representative audience. One
cf our most competent musical critics
ii speaking of the concert said:
although a trifie delayed on ac
count of many coming in at the last
there was an air of eXpectan-
cy throughout the audience. which
was later on most thoroughly salts
fed"
The curtain rose, disclosing the
young men ready for business, and
whose appearance called forth hearty
applause. The opening number, Schu-
,ert'S unfinished symphony. was beau {
-itully rendered-in fact, the best per-
,ornance of the evening. The young
aarp solcist, although, a mere child
showed a musical temperament and
careful training: He has a bright fu :
ure, and with the combination Of ma f
urity and continued care of his in /
1tructor. Director Pinto, may be J
proud OF his young protege. C
The numbers following were given I
Tith much precision, and in view of y
he immaturity of the players, the y
!irector has achieved very remarkable d
esults. V
Director Pinto is careful and {
igh-minded leader, with ideals. With
he help of time and consequent in
Tease in the proficiency of his young
nen, he may well look to a success {.
III future Fairmont is to be con-
ratulated on having had the opportu-
ity of hearing such performance, u
'hich was really projected as a com
liment to our city. Mr.. Powell de- .
erves the thanks of our community,
nd it is to be hoped that we may
ave many more such opportunities

lusical tastes already developed here.

also took much of the hopefulness
and pleasure out of her own otherwise
happy life, SO that in one sense, death
came as a messenger of coveted relief

The interment will take place at Ma

How q Mild Man Got the Best OF Two

Frederick Gerhard told an anus
ing story of a railway tunnel.
"a friend of mine," he said, "sat
reading in the parlor car of train
when two women entered. After
that he read in comfort no longer,
for it happened that he was dressed
in English clothes of pronounced
type, and to these clothes the wom-

They snickered in my friends face;
they kept whispering to one anoth-

at him; they kept saying in tones
that he could hear:
"Did you ever see such shirt ?
"Pot hats-fried egg hats-you
call those things
"Don't the trousers fit funnyT
'My friend is a mild man, but
after ten or fifteen minutes Of this
adverse criticism his blood began to
boil. He asked himself how he could
get even with the women. While
he was revolving various schemes
in his mind the train entered a long
black tunnel, and Immediately q
happy thought came to him.
"Half way through the tunnel he
put the back of his hand to his
mouth and kissed it violently and
noisily four or five times. The wo-
men after that were silent. He
watched them when the train came
out into the light again, and it
pleased him to see how strangely
they looked at one another. He,
for his part, looked at them in an
equally strange way. For q long
time he looked at them; then he
said:
