DONE BY DIES RATE GANG

zen who stoned passing passenger
and freight trains was brought n
Thursday night from Salem and
lodged in jail here. Friday after
noon he vas taken before Justice
James N David He waived eSan1-
nation and was remanded to Jail III
default of a bond of s., 600 to ap-
pear TO answer an Indictment by the
next grand jury.
Stutler's real home is at MorgaIls=
vile, but he appears to have been
operating all along the railroad from
Smithburg east 30 Wolf Summit
The first victim of his throwing
stones at the trains was Fireman H
L. McHenry Tuesday morning al
Smithburg, who is now in st
.Joseph's hospital, in Parkersburgz IN
serious condition.
Since the assault on Fireman Me
Henry, an effort has been made to
locate the stone thrower. On We'd
nesday night it was discovered that
stones had been placed in the switch
es at different places, which was sup
posed to have been the work of the
same individual that had been throw
ING stones at the trainmen. When
it was discovered that stones had
been placed as stated above, orders
were given for different trains to
run slow for some distance through
that section, and engineer Harry
Cook. on passenger train No. 4, east
bound, was one of the first to receive
this order.
When his train arrived in the ter
ritory named IN the order. he was
running his train at a greatly reduc-
ed speed, when a stone crashed
through the window of the engini
cab. striking him under the left eye.
infiicting quite cut, but not sufil-
Gent to interfere with his continu-
ing on his run As he continued or
he met freight No. 81, and he ir'-
formed Engineer Brumbaugh to look
out for the fellow.
Engineer Brumbaugh was also
running his train at low rate OF
speed. and when near Wolf Sunni
stone was hurled at. him. Beng
ON the lookout, he saw the fellow
throw the stone and avoided beIn"
hit. He jumped off his engine and
caught the young man. who did MOI
offer any resistance. 1t is also al
legged that Brumbaugh handled tho
fellow quite lively.
J. r. CabeIl, of Parkersburg, who
was passenger on the train stated
that besides the stone which was
thrown and struck Engineer Harr,'
Cook, that n stone was throw
through one of the windows of thf
smoking car.
He said that the passenger VIII
was occupying the scat by this win
dow happened to be living down u
the scat. or he would no doubt hav
been struck, or injured by the brok
en- glass from the window. Tn
crashing of the stone into the car
caused quite commotion among Tho
passengers, the majority of WHOM
dropped down between the seats
and IN the aisle of the car expect
ing that more stones would he
thrown,
Tt was learned also from tf.SSSa:s
he'll that he ran the train from thai
Mace into GlarEs7b4Trg instead ofslsns
niineer Cook; the latter, while not IN
iured to great extent, being atraid
that he might be running some risk
in taking cold in the wound caused
bv piece of glass from the cab
window.
1t is also believed that there are
others interested with the young
man Stutler, who was arrested By
Engineer Brumbaugh, in the attacks
that have been made on the trains in
that vicinity. and the opinion is tina
there are still about four Others IT
the gang, and that other arrests will
soon follow. The opinion seems to
be that those who have been doing
the work are in some way connected
with the gang that were rounded up
not long since at this place for rob
hing Baltimore & Ohio cars, and it
is alleged that the young man, Slut
Ter, is related to some of the mem
bcrs of the gang.
Two warrants were issued against
Stutler and the bond fixed at $1,000
on each. They were sworn out by
Engineer Henry T.. Cook. In one
he makes the charge that Stutler
threw stone at him, and struck him
in the face and eye, doing him great
injury. The other charges him
