Richard Strauss.

In referring to Richard Strauss who
comes to Morgantown on March 14th
w. ]. Henderson the musical critic OF
the New Yok Sun says:
Richard Strauss is generally con-
coded to be the most individual com
poser now living. Beyond that it
wou d not be judicious to go, for we
are too close to him to measure his
work accurately, and his artistic de-
velopment Is not yet completed. His
chief claim to distinction is his SUI
perb mastery OF the technics of com
position. He handles the orchestra
more boldly, more originally and more
vigorously than other composers,
Though with less balance and clarity
than either Wagner or Berlioz. His
working out OF his musical themes is
that of master and in coloring be
has not been surpassed. With the
general pubic his influence Is undoubt-
eddy due to his selection OF strange
and almost impossible subjects for
musical illustration, and his defiant
use of astonishingly ugly melodic and
harmonic ideas when ne regards them
as essential to his purpose. He amazes
ard overwhelms rather than moves or
uplifts.

that a thrilling adventure is now

of that place and the little city is in
the throes of tremendous excite

Several days ago letter was re-
ceived by b. Frank Blackshire of
that town who is one Of the most
prominent oil men of this section.
rhis letter was signed by Five Men
Who Mean Business"
The letter demanded that S2, 500
in punches of $500 be sent to the
writer. The letter was to be left by
a messenger on the road between
Huntington and Gloyers Gap. Fail
ing to comply with the demand
would cause sudden and certain

after he had received the missive.
Here he placed the case before Dis

master Fleming They turned it
over to the post office department at
Washington and large number of
u. S. special officers were placed on
the case.
They came to Warrington and
vicinity and a posse was made up in
Fairmont which went to Warrington
without arousing comment.
Harry Blackstone was sent out on
horseback last night with bundle
made up to represent package OF
money. He rode from Warrington

effect.
The officers who had been station

was wanted turned and ran towards
Buffalo creek which was swollen and
full of ice. He plunged into it aud
made good his escape to the hills
closely pursued by the officers. He
has not yet been caught but it is
momentarily expected that he will
be.
Since these exciting experiences it
is known that Robert p. Floyd re-
ceived letters Of the same tone and
failing to respond to them he was
killed. The house in which he was
sleeping was dynamited and he and
his wife were killed. The solution of
the present mystery which is coddeut-

Harry Blackshire was formerly a

Morgantown. His father has many
friends and acquaintance here also
