WAS BOLD PIECE or WORK
Residence OF Rev. Trump Entered
by Burglars Friday Evening.
GOODS VALUED ATT $50 TAKEN
Robbers Entered While Family Was o.
Front Porch, and Afr Loot e House,
Made Their Escape.

One of the boldest rpbberies ever
known in this city vas committed
Friday afternoon about 3 O'Clock,
when the residence of Rev. Charles S
Trump, on West Martin street, was
entered by some unknown parties,
supposed to be professional crooks,
and property 10 the value of over $50,
stolen. The robbers were disturbed
while at work or there is no doubt
that they would have taken more.
Thew made good their escape and
there is no clew 10 their identity.
The robbery was committed during
the reel races, while all of the family
were on tho front porch viewing the
races, and it was not known until a
few hours later that the house had
been entered. The thieves entered
the premises from the rear, coming.
over the fepoe from the ally way. aud
entered the house through the kitch
en- door. Thew at first visited the
dining room, where thew ransacked
the closets and buffet, taking all of
the silyerware that they could couvan-
iently carry They next visited the
parlor, where they confscated hand
some clock that was on the mantel.
From there they went into the hall
way, where they took an overcoat end
other wearing apparel.
Several ladies were sitting in the
hallway only a short distance from
the hall rack, from where the coat
was taken, and near the door leading
to the parlor, but the work Of the
robbers was done with such little
noise that their attention was not
tracted. While the robbers were at
work one r1ember entered the house
to get something. and this is thought
to have scared the robbers away
before thew finished ransacking the
house, as several articles, which we're
taken from the buffet, were left on
the dining room table. 1t was when
the family entered the house after the
races that they noticed that they had
been the victims of robbers.

MANIA FOR STEALING.
ELsvVoaTH OLIVER SAYS THAT
CRIME ~ A DISEASE WITH HIN.
IA, Seen a Thief since Childhood, and
Always Found the Impulse TO
steal Irresistible.

Sheriff Stuckev has returned from
Moundsville, w, Va, where he toos
Ellsworth Oliver, sentenced to five
years In the penitentiary for stealing
meat. On the way to the prison
Oliver talked freely about his
penchant for stealing. and admitted
to the sheriff that he had mania for
appropriating other peoples property
He said that he had been stealing ever
since he was eight years old, having
begun on small articles and gradually
enlarged his scope until he becamesa
confirmed thief.
Oliver did not express much regret
for his long years OF crime, but was
concerned over the fact that he would
be nearly 25 years old when he was
released from prison for his last Of
Tense. He said that If bis parents
were living when he was released he
would not return TO Martinsburg, but
would seek other fields Of operation;
but If they died or removed from here
in the meantime, he would come back
and very probably take up his old
method Of living. He said that steal
ing had become wholly uncontrolla-
BILE disease with him, and that he
could not resist the impulse to take
what did not belong to him, whether
he could turn it TO profit or not.
Often he would take things of no value
to him. Just because he was unable TO
resist the impulse to steal. He said
he had stolen hundreds of chickens
during the past seven years, and that
in the last year or two he had been
ambitious to branch into bigger line
Oliver had been arrested number
of times for theft, but always sue
ceeded in escaping conviction. He
was loyal to his peculiar ideas of hon
or, and refused to divulge the name
OF a single confederate in crime, al
though he admitted many young men
and boys had been his accomplices on
his various expeditions. HE said that
he had u confederate when he stole
the meat. and that he expected to see
him in the same penitentiary before
he finished his term.

WENT SLAIN BY BANDITS.
They Resented His Activity Against
the Moonshining Camps.
BODY IS FULLY IDENTIFIED
Remains Indicate That Young Philadelphia
Mine Owner Was Shot From Ambush
Detectives Now at Work.

A special from Richmond, Va, says
the fact that Edward L. Wentz. the
Philadelphia millionaire mine owners
son. mot death through foul play was
conclusively proven Monday when
an examination was made of his body
which was found on Lone Black noun
tain, near Kelly's View. not far from
Big Stone Gap, in Wise county, sun
day.
This examination revealed that
young Wentz had received several
shots in tho lower part Of the body.
Three chambers Of his own revolver
had also been discharged, indicating
that he put MP fight for his life
against mountain bandits before he re-
ceived his mortal wound.
Chief of Police Caldwell, of Bristol,
believes thatsthe moonshineTs of the
region murdered Wentz to avenge the
death Of man who was killed by
Chief Of Police King, of Sfonega, Va.
King and his posse made q raid on the
moonshiners in accordance with the
wish Of wentz, who wanted to break
up thesmoonshining on the lands q
the company, and in that raid one of
the mountainaers was killed.
The finding of the body has caused
great excitement in Wise county and
the matter of Locating the nurderers
is now occupying the minds Of the de-
tectives.
A farmers boy who was searching
for cows made the gruesome discovery
that solved the mysterious disappear
auce of Wentz last October The de-
cayed condition Of the body was such
that it could not have been recognlz-
ed except for the clothing. The rid
ing pants were familiar to the friends
of the dead man, while bis eyeglasses
and his revolver were found beside
him.
The fact that the BODY was not dis
covered by the searching party months
ago is accounted Tor by the Iact that
it lay under the leaves of an open
space. The searchors had bean within
twenty feet of the body and could see
across the intervening space, which
appeared to be clear of any object.
The body has been placed under
guard pending the arrival of the rela'
atives of Wentz who are on their way
from philadelphia. An active search
will be made to find the guilty per-
sons, but there is small chance of suc-
cess

Americans in northern Korea were
recently approached by the United
states gunboat Cincinnati, and offered
conveyance to place of safety. TWen-

"Why do the missionaries stay at

because the danger to their personal

'In some cases the abandonment by
missionaries of their fields in time Of

of property, but of prestige, which it

Rev. DIR. Arthur Judson Brown. of
New York, who discusses THE War

Missionary Review of the World, has
this to say:
at seems to US that for all the mis-
sionaries in Korea to be withdrawn
at this time would be calamitous. The
property abandoned would probably be
looted. If not destroyed. Even in
America abandoned buildings are apt
to suffer from thieves. and in such a
country as Korea 1t is probable that
little would be left, Moreover. the
| missionary is urgently needed for safe
guarding the interests of the work and
for moral effect upon the Koreans. As
we are going on with our work, it is
! desirable to avoid, if possible, a de-
moralizing interregnum.
Consider, too. the lot of the poor
Koreans. Neither Russians nor Jap
anese are apt to concern themselves,
particularly about the unhappy peo-,
pie who are between the upper and
the neither millstones OF contending-
armies, while at such a time lawless
and turbulent men are almost certain
to find their opportunity. Even in

thieves and scoundrels took such ad-
vantage of the general panic that the
police were unable to cope with the
situation, and strong military force
| had to be called out. What, then, Is
| to be expected in such country as
Korea in time OF war? Those poor
Koreans in this hour Of need will look
to the missionary as to their only

the time for the missionary ministry
