Still Going.

Highland county continues to
lose some mighty good citizens.
We note, with regret, the depart
ure Of Messrs. W T Townsend and
5 P Sheets, both of Little Back
Creek, and such families as the coun-
ty cannot afford to lose without
feeling the loss.
Those who have given the SUBJ
iect no thought will be astonished
at the number Of such families that
have left our county during the
past five years. We dc net know
why tie emigration from Highland
should have been IN excess or
other periods, nor do we know that
it has been, but, at a glance. 1t
would appear that we have not
come out even in the shuttle to and
fro.

Imprisoned Horse-Thief
Burns Franklin Jail

Barlow Rimel, who on Thursday
last. was arrested at the home OF
Mr. Arthur Hiner, on the Thorn,
near the line between the counties
of Highland and Pendleton, charg-
ed with stealing horse and taken
to the Franklin Jail, attempted TO
gain his freedom by burning out
on Saturday night. The details OF
the attempt-as to where and how
the fire was kindled have not
learned. but it is definitely known
that it originated in his cell, and
as the sequal proved came near ex'
cutting his own horrible sentence.
When citizens answered the
fire alarm and came to the rescue
it was discovered that the key to
Rimel's cell was either lost or mis-
sing, and he had to be gotten out
by means Of chopping.
Upon his release he was placed
in irons and put under guard un-
til the smoke cleared up.
1t would now appear that Rimel
is not novice in crime, as his late
offense would indicate, for it has
developed that his plans, in the
theft Of Mr. liners horse. were
well-laid. The horse stolen was a
fine young animal, not in use, but
running at large in distant pas
ture and was taken just after salt
ing day, the fellow returning
home before the next sailing day
came around, at which time,
and not likely sooner, the absence
of the horse would be noticed.
Meantime, however prospective
purchaser came along, and Mr. HI
ner discovered his loss.
A report is current, too, that HI
mel is wanted in Missouri for SINH
lar crimes and that he brokejail in
that State.
Another report is to the effect
that he is mentally unbalanced, and
has been for long time.
The prisoner was given nrellm'
mary hearing on Monday
we are Informed, and sent to Key'
ser for safe keeping until the Crane
Jury can investigate and the courts
pass upon his case.
His father, the South Brancf
Review says, WAS native OF zen

Found Dead.

Early Friday morning a message
from Barlow announced the sad
news that Mr. Paul Fleisher had
been found dead along the Z y l
railroad near Dnnlevie on the
Gresnbrier.
The circumstances were such AS
to necessitate an inquest, which was
duly held on Saturday If we have
been correctly informed, the IN
quest brought to light no evidence
of foul play, but certainly showed
criminal negligence and cruelty on
the part of his comrades on the ia
tai night. These men-two or
more-whOse names we haYe not
learned, but proprietors OF patrons
of ;. speakeasy, deliberately carried
this unfortunate victim out into
the cold night, in his shirt-sleeves'
and left him in his helpless condl-
ton to freeze and die. In the iudg-
ment Of the jury Of inquest they
may have been exhonorated, but
such conduct was unnatural, cruel
and inhuman, to say the least.
Paul was a kind hearted boy. the
son of pious, respected parents, and
we have not heard of him doing
any wrong except to himself.
His remains were brought home,
near Forks of Water, on Sunday,
and laid to rest in the family bury
ing ground.

Gar Sought Roosevelt.

The Russian Emperor it is known
invited tie action of President Roo.e-
welt, and had much to do with the
form that the Presidents representa-
lions toes. Emperor Nicholas, through
tho counsel Of powerful personal inilt :
ences in Russia, became disposed to-
ward peace some days ia advance OF
the Presidents action. Ii was recognized
at the Russian Court, and at this court
also, that no man IN the world could
so well make an appeal for peace as
President Roosevelt. His known views
the detachment of the United States
from the European system and the
good will Japan feels to ward the Unit
ed States made the President the soli-
tary statesman who could take such
step without either side diatrnsting
him OF feeling annoyed by his solicit
tude. emperor Nicholas, now won for
peacr, would again decide for war
should the japanese attitude be I'M
conciliatory or even Of long hesitation
and reserve, though it is understood
that japan also gave the President
some assurances before he acted.
