RYAN. One, in favor of the subInls'

the enforcement of existing laws and

congress was narrowly averted when
the report of the committee on resolu'
lions was submitted for action" IA
the committee had reported adversely
to Mr.. Ryan's resolutions and there
appears to have been lively discus.

sulting victory for Mr.. Ryan. the es'
cape of the congress from a political
discussion was certainly very narrow.

LOOKS FOR WARRANTS
DOES THIS MAN

There is a certain glassworker eulT
|ployed in a plant in a suburb Of
Clarksburg who is continually in
trouble. He is neither vicious nor
I thief. He is what you might term
unfortunate. His falling is drink.
He is said to make good money but
usually it is attached before he ever
sees, it. He gets drunk and forgets
to pay his board. Then a warrant
is sworn out for the amount due and
his wages are attached. Lately he
has been arrested SO frequently that
every time he comes 10 the city he
visits a certain squiro's Office and in
quires if there is anything against
him. This ssrOs-the constables a
lot -ef-tr6nble.

BR0ADDUS COW
GAINS MORE ROT0RIETY

Most C!ark>burgers remember
about prank played by Broaddus
students in June, 1904. wherein a
COW belonging to the school was
taken to the third story OF the col
legc building and left. Well. that
same old COW went out on a spree
all OF her own making Thursday.
Elk creek has been running high
since Wednesday evening after the
heavy rains and at supper time
Thursday evening was swollen out
OF all semblance of its normal con-
.dition. This fool COW managed
somehow to mix in the game and the
hrst thing She and the faculfy knew.
Bossy was in the drink and more
than going for down river points.
She tried the close-in-shore game
Tor a while, but the trees along the
banks didn't handle her gently and
when She reached the mouth Of. the
creek she was in mid-stream. Some
one procured rope and lassooed her
when she wa> down the river a short
distancc and ropcd her in to- the
bank. Tho shores were steep along
there and blocks and tackles were re-
CURED besides more than an hours
hard work for several men before She
was landed.
