Under Bond-AfaIr VIII Be Aired

John Bailey was Not Ia the Scrape :
BAD Blood Between the Men Both
Under Bond-AfTair win Be Aired
In Court
Some time ago, the New DOMINION
published story of the shooting OF
Milt Malott by John Bailey The
affair occurred on Scott's run, and
the details could not be ascertained.
The story published was given out
at the sheriff's Office here. The
officers had received a message by
phone to come cut and arrest
Bailey. Their information was in
correct. Further inves tigation by
this paper shows that Herbert
Brewer is the man who did the
shooting. and in justice to Mr.. Bailey
this correction is made.
David Wiedman, the Randall
merchant, says in regard to the
affair: $50 far as can ascertain,
the facts are these: Milt Malott and
Herbert Brewer have been on tue
outs for some time. On tha day OF
the shooting, Brewer had been down
on SCOTS run. On his way home,
he stopped in front of Malstts house
and looked In. Malott asked him
what he was looking for, and Brewer
replied he looked where he pleased.
Malott went out into the road, and
an alteration between the men en-
sued. After some hot words, Brewer
drew his gun and shot Malott, who
retreated. Brewer sent another shot
after him, but 1T went wild.
"Malott says he never owned a
revolver and never carried one.
Brewer had Malott arrested and
placed under bond to keep the peace
Malott had Brewer arrested and
paced under bond to appear at the
next term of the circuit court. The
affair will be thoroughly aired at
that time"

Governor White as Engineer on be-

the survey 10 accordance with Joint
Resolution No. 70 OF the acts of the
last Legislature relating to the fofma-
tion OF the new County OF Augusta.
Mr.. Monroe was appointed Dec, "a
and received his commission Christ
mas Day, says the Kingwood Argus.
He is directed to take charge of
the work as Chief Surveyor and with
the County Surveyor OF Marion, Wetzel
and Monongalia counties and Ira NJ.
franklin OF Hundred, who represents
Augusta county, as assistants and a
field corps of men proceed to ascertain
the exact area in square miles Of the
counties above named and make offici-
al maps and blue prints of the same
for filing in the Court House OF said
counties and with the Governor.
In doing this work 1t will be neces-
sary to survey clear around said coun-
ties and establish boundary lines. This
will effect Preston county as the line
between us and Monongalia has never
been definitely established 10 some
places between Gainesville and the
Pennsylvania line and our County
Court which convenes in regular ses-
sion next Monday, should at once
take some action in regard to the
matter and authorize and instruct
our County Surveyor to be party TO
the survey between Preston and Mo
nongalia AID have necessary markers
erected along the line. 1t is too good
an opportunity to be lost.
Mr.. Monroe has already communi-
Gated with the officials OF the counties
concerned and is now making ready to
start the work. He goes the coming
week to consult with the other coun-
ties and map out line of procedure.
The expenses will mostly be paid by
the counties involved in the Augusta
affair No beJter appointment could
have been made as Mr.. Monroe has had
charge Of the boundary line survey
between this State and Maryland on
behalf Of West Virginia and is consid-
cred the best surveyor in the state.

The first s. greenback issued by
our government was in 1852, and ever
since 1854 has been the heirloom OF a
prominent family. Its age has to-
creased its value greatly. This is also
true in regard to Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t was introduced fifty years
ago, and because it positively cures
stomach, liver and bowel disorders it
is valued more highly than any other
remedy. Those who have once tried
1T always keep bottle on hand to
cure dyspepsia, nausea, Indigestion,
dizziness, heartburn, insomnia, chills,
colds or malaria. Sickly women, too,
realize its wonderful value as health

Doctor Leech Says He and His Congre.
cation Raised Money for Organ.

A denial of the Carnegie organ
story is made by DIR. Leech of
Charleston. 1t was stated that Car
negie had given the congregation a
$4,000 pipe organ. DIR. Leech says
in part:
The facts are these: My late
brother, Hon. Edward o. Leech,
Director of the MINIS of the U. 5.
under President Harrison, and after
wards vice president of the New
York Bank of Commerce, was per-
sonal friend of Mr.. Carnegie. l
earnestly appealed to Mr. Carnegie
to present to my church pipe org an
1 had met Mr.. Carnegie when was
a pastor in the state of New York,
and chaplain OF the State S nate.
Nine months passed without any
reply from Mr.. Carnegie. Then |
canvassed the copgreg for funds
for a pipe organ, since built and now
here. Last week Mr.. Carnegie au-
thorlzed his secretary to write me
for the specifications oil such an
organ as | wished for the church. l
promptly replied and informed Mr..
Carnegie that, because of his failure
to grant our request, we had under
taken the enterprise ourselves. The
above is about all | know OF the
matter
