at the rear which will seat $50 peo.

stories and has balcony and large
stage provided with ante-rooms. The
stage occupies large semi-clrcular
extension to the building at the rear.
Leading from this floor at the ends
OF the building are two broad flights

walls, to the floor above.
On the second floor are the bal

The roof is high, and in the roof
space are a gymnasium, 50x60, with
lockers and showers for boys ana
girls, and small science lecture
room with a physics and chemistry
laboratory at either side.
The building is heated by direct
steam, and the ventilation is provi.

little more to install, but is abso.
lutely ready when needed and can be
shut off when not wanted, thus pro.
viding for the greatest economy in
heating the building. The school will
be furnished with electric light
though there will be little use for this
except in the auditorium. as every
part, even the basement, is thorough
ly lighted by windows.
In interior construction the build.
Ing is practically divided into four
sections by fire proof brick walls.
The basement and the ventilator
ducts are finished off in metal iath
and plaster, and the partitions and
floors are provided throughout with
fre-stop in the way of mineral wool.
There is a main corridor ten feet
wide through the center Of each
floor, the stairways are wide and of
gradual ascent, the entrances are
ample. and every precaution has
been taken to provide rapid and ready
exit in case of fire.
The estimated cost of the new high
school is $4,000.

new HIGH SCHOOL
Building Will Be Modern Structure and Vi
to Date In Every Particuar---Wil
Cost About $4,000.
PLANS ARE WELL UNDER way

The new high school building. on
the Point" near the intersection of
Benoni avenue and Fifth street. is
to be one of the finest structures OF
Its kind in the State of West Virginia,
and is to incorporate all Of the fea.
lures of the best school in the coun-
try. The members of the Board of
Education have spared no pains to
acquaint themselves with all that Is
essential to up.to-date equipment, and
have permitted no prejudice or fear
of criticism to stand in the way Of
fitting out. the school with whatever
experience has proved to be import.
ant to the maintenance of a first-class
educational institution. The result,
as shown in the plans by Architect
Charles G. Badgley to West Viz
ginian reporter yesterday afternoon,
is to be a building which Fairmont is
sure TO account among her finest and
most serviceable edifces.
The building hasa frontage of 1872
feet on Benoni avenue, and is 100
feet deep. The top of the gable on
the Fifth street side is SIS feet from
the ground, and the top of the tower
on the Benoni avenue side is "a feet
from the ground.
The building is in the English col.
legiate" style, with a high, steep. tile
roof. The material is brick, light and
dark, built into suitable pattern
with stone coping and stone window
trimmings. The building has the
brick gable treatment and grouped
windows There are two main en-
frances at the front. and the vesti
bule of the entrance toward Fifth
street is carried up into a low. broad
tower treatment which gives an In
teresting accent to the building and
also gives additional room in the root
space. AT the ends are two-story or
namental bays which relieve any
straight up.and-down effect.
The basement has three entrances,
two from the outside at the rear OF
the building and one from the inte.
rlor above. In the basement are a
lunch room, model kitchen for in.
struction in cooking. iron and wood
working departments, commodious
play rooms for boys and girls, ventila.
ton fan and engine rooms. the jani.
tors office, and boys and girls lock.
ers and toilet rooms.

dead are: Lloyd Shaffer, of Frazier
Iowa, and William Rollins, also OF
Iowa. Four other cowboys are badly
wounded. Three of them are in the
hospital at Cowen in bad shape, but
they have chances of recovering.
u Oscar knight, whose home is in
Phoenix, Ariz., and who insulted the
lady on the train, was found guilty of
disorderly and riotous conduct and a
heavy fine was imposed on him. 1t
was paid by the manager of the show
and he was released from custody.
The native who was placed in the
lookup Sunday evening with the flute
player for interfering with the on
GERS, was allowed to go without pun
ishment. Mexican Bill will not be
taken to Cowen for trial, but will be
tried at Webster Springs by. Justice
Hogan, as soon as the. inquest at
Cowen is completed and the witnesses
can go to Webster Springs.
A The. report that officers T. L. Pow.
ell and Lee 7coffman had been ar.
rested on the charge. of murder and
jailed is utterly without foundation.
Nothing has developed SO far to In.
eliminate them, and they are engaged
with the officers at their duty in pre-.
senting evidence at the inquest. They
will go to Webster Springs to attend
the trial of Mexican Bill.

COWBOYS DO STUNTS with
GUNS ON THE STREETS OF
SUTTON, BRAxT0N COUNTY

BURNSvILLE, w. Va, July 12.-
There Is danger Of more trouble be-
tween the people Of this section and
the cowboys Of the Texas Bill Wild
West show. following the battle of
Sunday on an excursion train when
three Of the cowboys were killed and
a number Of persons wounded. Yes
terday the Wild West show train
went to Sutton from Cowen, and on
its arrival number Of the cowboys
appeared on the streets and intimi-
dated the people by firing their re-
volvers, the fusilade continuing for
more than an hour. The authorities
finally succeeded in arresting two of
the cowboys. and they were tried for
carrying firearms and fined. Their
fines were paid by the manager of
the show.
Yesterday at Burnsville occurred
the inquest into the manner of the
death of Joe Johnson, one of the cow
boys killed Sunday. The coroner's
jury brought In the following verdict:
That Joe Johnson came to his
death by a gunshot wound inflicted at
$50 P. NJ, Sunday, July o. death en-
suing at 1880 p. NJ, at the hands of
Honas Brown.
Brown is a fellow cowboy of John
sons and his shooting of Johnson is
claimed by the coroner's jury to have
been accidental, but a warrant for
his arrest has been issued, and will
be served at Sutton. Trouble is fear
ed when the attempt is made to arrest
Brown.
The funeral of johnson occurred
yesterday at Burnsville, and half an
hour later telegram was received
from his family in Iowa, asking that
the body be shipped there, but this
viii not be done now.

boys implicated in Sundays tragedy,
was taken to Addison and lodged in
the Webster county Jail to be held
for trial.
The inquest into the death of the
two other dead cowboys was held at
Cowen last night.
There are three wounded cowboys
in the hospital at Cowen, and two are
in a serious condition and may die.

TOWN OF SALEM is WROUGHT
UP AS NEVER BEFORE IN
ITS HISTORY.
PROMINENT MINISTER sEoucEs
GIRL TAKEN FROM THE IN
pusTRlAL HOME.

SALEM, w, Va. July l2.-since
the coming of the oil development In
this region, Salem has become noto-
rlous. 1t has long been known as a
town where the law is openly and
defantly violated by whiskey men
and gamblers. 1t has had Its share OF
devastation, the whole business por-
tson of the town being wiped out by
raging flames only a few years ago.
Since that time, as before, there has
been q constant battle on between the
law-abidlng and the lawless elements,
their warfare extending to the public
press, and thus being aired to the
world at large. Quite recently the
secret of long-standing courtship
between a minister's wife and one Of
the towns most prominent men
came out. Both were excluded from
the church, and the scandal mongers
had many sweet morsels to roll on
their eager tongues. But all these
things pale into insignincance before
the reports now emanatlng from this
place. The gossipers are again busy,
and not without; cause this time.
The story is short. but the facts
are awful to contemplate, They are
something like this. to the best Of
your correspondents ability to get
them: A prominent minister Of the
town is missing. A girl from the IN.
dustrial home who had been living at
his house is in a delicate condition,
and his wife and several small chill
dren are left to bear the awful dis.
grace thus brought upon them. The
church people are horror stricken.
The saloon people and dive keepers
are rejoicing with that ghoullsh glee
incident to the downfall of a man
who has stood for higher life than
they profess. The people at large
are simply dazed at the awfulness
OF the AFFAIR. It will be some time
before they have sufficiently recover
ed to even discuss plan OF action.
In the meantime the gosslpers are
spreading the scandal.
