of Huntington attorneys will spend

The story of this crime is one of
the most reyolting in the criminal
history of the State, and lawyer of
experience expressed the opinion
last night that the fact that father
and four sons are to tried jointly for
the murder of single person stands
without parallel in the criminal his.
tory OF the Ohio Valley. The elder
Woody is sixty years of age, the sons
ranging between the ages of nine

Mr.. James Lorton Rowan, who was
accidently shot last Wednesday even
ing while engaged in target practice
with Miss Nellie Rowzee, left last
evening for his home in Roanoke,
Va. His mother and uncle came
here to accompany him home. 1t was
thought until yesterday that the
young man would be taken to Balti-
more for special treatment, but while
sitting up before the fire test was
made and he could see the light
with mis- injured eye. This caused
him to decide to go home at once
and place himself under the care Of
his home physician. 1t is now

NEXT BIG GAME
stlJ WITH KENTUCKY
West Virginia University Preparing
For Game With University Of
Kentucky.

A week from next Saturday, West
Virginia. will play the most important
game Of theyear at the home grounds.
says the Morgantown New Dominion,
The opposing eleven will be the
strong aggregation representing the
University Of Kentucky. The contest
will be the first Of the season in which
the enemy was really worth while.
Great interest in the game is already
apparent among all classes Of foot
ball followers. and the crowd that sees
the contest will be record-breaker.
It will be worth while to win the game
and every ounce of skill and endurance
that the Varsity players have, will be
put into It.
Last Saturday Kentucky played
Northwestern at Evanston. The
halves were each thirty minutes in
length. and neither side scored. That
was real football. and when it is re
called that Northwestern usually has
a strong eleven. 1t throws the magni
tude of West virginia's task into very
strong relief.
Wesleyan Cancelled.
The West Virginia Wesleyan game
for November II will not be played
The faculty at Buckhannon has re
fused to allow the team away from the
school and the eleven has disbanded
This leaves West Virginia two open
dates, November IL and IS. 1t is moi
known how they will be filled.
With the usual lack of courtesy
common sense and common decency
shown by Buckhannon managers. the
Wesleyan team cancelled with Beth
any the game scheduled for to-day
and did not notify them of the fact un
til Saturday afternoon. Then 1t be
came known because the Bethan,

She had been invited to the reception

Mrs. Baker at the Bulloch home and
asked for her. Loeb told OF her re-
fusal to attend the public reception
and the President said he must see his
mothers bridesmaid. He decided to
cut out established precedents that he
might meet and chat with the girlhood
friend OF his mother. and at his sug-
gestion Harrington Hall was included.
in the itinerary.
When President Roosevelt. entered
the old home with Mrs. Roosevelt he
found Mrs. Baker seated. In black

A RUN ON A BANK
Denver DepOsitOrs Made Suspicious
 by Frequent Changes.

Denver. Aug. Swallowing dissen- sions among stockholders and rumOrs arising therefrom, a run was made on the Denver Savings Bank today by the depositors who wished to withdraw their money After the first fifteen minutes of business Vice President F.. P. Jones, who was in charge of the bank, announced that the depOsitOrs could withdraw at once only ten per cent of their deposits, this rule being permitted by law.
 MT. Jones said the bank was in good condition and the ten per cent rule was put in force for the protection of the public. J. A. Hill, president of the bank and L. A. Imboden, the heaviest stockholders were said to be in Kansas City today. Four times in the last year there have been changes in the official staff of the bank and it is believed that the depositors loss of confidence in the institution is partly due to these changes
