line east OF Pittsburg through this

the line seemed to confirm this report.

Burned to the tir0nnd-Firebng Sus-
pectsd Of Completely in Mu rider.


From Wednesdays Daily.
An unknown Italian was arrested
at Chieftain last night and was lodg-
ed in Jail at Fairmont this morning.
He is held for incendiarism and also
as a suspect in connection with the
murder of Mine Boss Frank Flaherty
at Pinnickinnick mines which occur
red on Saturday night.
The Italian came to Chieftain on
Tuesday morning and acted quserly
all day. In the evening be got busy
and set six buildings on fire. All OF
them were totally consumed. The
loss is about $4,000 which is fully
covered by insurance.
None of the houses were occupied
as the works at Chieftaip have not
been running full for a long time,
and the miners who had lived in the
houses had moved away. The prop
erty belonged to the Fairmout Coal
Company.
How the man managed to set 90
many OF them on fire before he was
caught is not we'll understood. They
were all burning brightly when the
fire was at first discovered.
The fellow refuses to talk and has
kept his counsel very closely since
landed in Jail.
1t is suspected that he is connect
ed in some way with the death of the
mine boss as there was no apparent
reason for the killing, and his insane
condition might have led him to the
commission of the crime.
Numerous other arrests of foreign
ers have been made in the effort to
find the guilty party or parties.
Large rewards are offered for their
conviction by the Clarksburg Fuel
Company and Harrison county Off
cials.

OIL In Alaska.

The recent account OF the large

plies to the Alaska oil fields aroused
considerable interest 10 this new pros
pectiye industry. Like all other elm

speculative. The same Is also very

that pursuit Was getting close Jones
pulled gun and fred several shots.
The conductor replied in kind but
Jones escaped.
A posse vas organized and the
negr, was found hidden nesr by the
scene of the shooting. He was
placed under arrest ami the girl was
alse arrested. Bessie is a white
girl who had been working at the
Jones home during the illness Of
Jones wife.
Since the runaway 1T has been
learned that the Jones woman has
not been seen for several days and it
is thought she has bren made the
victim Of foul play by her husband
who wanted her out of the way.
In consequence of this fact a tel
ony warrant has been issued against
Jones and the whole matter will be
thoroughly sifted in the courts.

We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good

The fact that it is the best

rich in nutrition, full Of healthy

to why it does what it does.

Barely have the victims Of one
horror been consigned to earth than
we are called upon to read the de-
tails Of another which differs only in
the number Of men killed. Usually
strict investigation shows that
some one has become careless and
the awful result Of mained and dead
follow fast en- his careless action.
There is NO way to prevent these
accidents until a way is found to
make people act with common ssnse
and judgment in every action. The
mine horror at Cheswick will be
fourd to be due to the fact that
some one violated the laws of nature
which being thus outraged exacted
heavy tribute from its helpless VIC
tins.
