Mrs. Rebecca Ann Pierpoint,
who has resided for many years
at Centreville, and well known
to many of the old settlers of this
county, departed this life on the
18th after several months illness.
She was born on the 10th day of
March 1929, and married Francis
Pierpoint on the 22d day of March
1S49, in Monghehelia county,
from which they moved into this
county. She was the mother Of

ing, three girls and three boys

H. W. Smith, Mrs. Henry Furbee

Another called session of the
County court was held on last
Saturday for the purpose of re-
leasing F. G.. Locke from his con-
tract to take charge of the Coun-
ty infrmary. j. J. Gorrell and
/ R. A. Martin were present and
they upon hearing the reasons as
signed by Mr.. Locke as his OBJ
iections for desiring to be releas-
ed from his contract, made an
order cancelling the same, and
then entered into contract with
John Merritt to take charge of
the infrmary. The contract is
somewhat different from the one
with Locke. The Court pays Mr..
Merritt the sum of 1920 for each
inmate per week and furnishes
bedsteads and bedding for the in
Urinary. and also allows $40 on
the hauling of fuel.
Harry D. Perkins, an official at!
tache from Parkersburg, arrived
in town last evening with sum-
mons from Squire r. H. Thomas
court in that city for S. G. Pyle.
George L. Niehart and Spencer
Jones to appear before said JUS
tice on the 23d to give evidence
in behalf of the State, wherein
the State is plaintiff and Clarence
| Chambers is defendant. 1t will
be remembered that some time IN
the month of December, a young
man giving his name as W. w.
Williams was committed to the
county jail for 80 days by Squire
Lowther of Sistersiville, upon a
warrant. sworn out by H. A. APP
pleby, charging Williams, who
was attending his lunch counter,
with robbing the cash register of
something like $15. During his
confinement in the county Jail he
secured a blank check on the First
National bank Of Middlebourne,
and learning that George l.. Me
hart had an account with said
bank forged a check by the use
of Niehart's name for $40, which
he had cashed in ParkerSburg
after being discharged from jail.
It seems in some way that Me
hart was informed Of Williams
intention to forge his name and
notified the bank to not honor any
check; consequently when the
check was presented, payment
was refused and protested, which
brought about the arrest of Clar-
ence Chambers, alias W. w. Will
liams. Sheriff Shriver delivered
to the custody Of the ParkerSburg
authorities George L. Niehart,
is confined in Jail waiting on in
dictment for the murder Of his
step-father, and Spencer Jones
