A Malicious FalSehood.

We give the following as a sample
of the sensational and fake reports
that are often given for publication to
gain notoriety or serve some mali
ciouS end and purpose. 4 young man,
in seeming grief, suddenly appeared
at certain hotel in our city a few
evenings ago. While there, he hur-
riedly narrated to the clerk the story
of a fatal accident Which had just
occurred. then hired a boy whom he
dispatched with the news TO his fam

! train for the scene OF the accident.
at this juncture your reporter drop

clerk he recounted all the details of
what had occurred, whichswe printed
in a formerzissue. He said that his
brother, H. G. Koon, of Littleton, aged
20 years, while out with party
hunting that afternoon. had accident
ally shot and killed himself, and was
carried back home by the party to
his wife and two children; also that

ROCHESTER, n. Y, July l9--EI-

last evening charged with the murder
I1of Cora B. Hart, on July T. The ar
rest was made by Sheriff Bailey on a
warrant issued by Coroner kleindei-

sheriff came for him. He has known
for a week that he was strongly sus-

place at any, time. He was not at the
inquest yesterday but was working az

in order, his brother-in-law appeared
at the hotel in answer to the note
sent by the boy, and declared the
whole story a fake and clever ruse for

for our correction. An investigation

treatment, had left him and gone back

but for California, as he stated to
others before leaving. The details Of
the accident as given by him We're all
plausible. and his part in the tragedy
we'll played, showing that it was got
ten up by him to deceive the family
and public, and destroy his personal
identity, while he, still alive, quietly
withdrew for parts unknown. The
he planned to deceive is that the story
was not true, and that he had not been
shot in accord with his just deserts
long since merited by his heinous
conduct.

FROM OLD HARRISON
An Interesting and Timely Letter
From Former Marion County
Republican Hustler.
WEST MILFORD, w. Va,

July IS, 1904.
Editors West Virginian:
Since the recent convention at
Wheeling I have about concluded
that Marion county has discarded
knee breeches and gone to wearing
long pants Well, always knew that
the county had some cheeky" poll
ticians, but really never expected
them to claim the earth. l am graft
fed to think that we have such an ad-
mirable State ticket, and still more
proud to know that its members from
Marion county will add strength to it
rather than detract from it; and, in
addition, the county has an ideal
ticket in the field-one that will COM
mand the entire support of the party,
and l dare say, will receive liberal
support from the opposition-no mat
ter who may compose the opposition
ticket:
The people will have cause to re-
joice over the election of Sheriff Fur
able father. In him the people will
have clean and honest official. and
whose every act has been one worthy
of emulation. And the legislative part
of it was carefully selected. from
among the tall timber, each individ-
ual being we'll worthy OF the honor to
which he aspires.
Then there is Harry Shaw for
| prosecuting attorney-the little giant
| in politics-who is more hated Cor
rather feared) by the Democrats than
any man in the county. and for this
reason, if for no other, he should be
elected by the largest majority ever
given man in the county.
The candidates for assessors, Nc
! Daniel and Holman, are gentlemen,
! in every way qualified for the place,
and, like "Lonnie' Wilcox, for sur
veyor, they are going to get there
! with both feet.
| Taking it all in all it is ticket that
! commends itself to'the masses of the
! county, and there is only one reason
why l cannot vote 1.-THE constitution
won't allow or permit me to vote out
| of my county of Harrison-a fact
that is very much regretted by me.
Wishing YOU all political success !
remain,
| Yours truly,

The mayor held a conference with
the police force the other evening,
when his honor read the ordinance in
relation to the dog law, and issued in
structionS to them concerning the
same The Interpretation of the law
as given was that they should capture
every dog in sight, which is found
without a collar and tag. The inten-
ton of the collar required to be placed
on each dog IS to serve as evidence
that the tax has been paid on it, and
the tag furnished bears both the num-
Der of the dog and the order in which
the redemption money has been paid
by its owner and record made. The
provisions carried out under this or
dinance serves a three-fo1d purpose:
first, to get rid of the countless num-
Der OF worthless dogs infesting the
city: second to find out the real own
ers and get the tax from them, on all
dogs which they esteem worth keep,
ing; and third, to reveal the many
owners of dogs running at large who
conceal their ownership and refuse tc
pay tax on them. They will thus be
compelled to come forward, pay the
tax or ship them beyond the city linn
its or let them go to the pound by
default. when they will be disposed
of under the law. The police were
further instructed that any person
known by them to have a dog il
his possession without collar anC
tag, whether the owner OF it or not
to take it TO the pound. and should
he refuse to deliver it up. to bring
the party before the mayor, wher
he would be fined not less than 5;
nor over SO for their noncompliance
The police also received instructions
to prohibit the use of profane and oh
scene language on the public streets
The latter may prove as difficult &c
carry into effect, and raise as much
of Il storm among the swearing popu
lation, as putting into effect the dog
law The shortest method, however
is to collar or surrender the dogs, anG
use only pure and chaSIe language OF
