.AUDITS TOWN BOOKS
N CAPABLE manner
Frank Willison, Expert Accountant,
Renders Valuable Service
in Settlement.

A settlement between the Town Of
Piedmont and its ex-sergeant, s. L.
Dunn, for the years 1904 and 1905
has just been accomplished after
much difficulty in arriving at the
amount due from Mr.. Dunn, owing
to the long period covered and the
understanding between the coun-
Gil and the ex-oficer as to the books
of the latter and the amount actual
" due the town from him.
In arriving at the basis for the
settlement Frank A. Wilson, OF this
city, who is an expert accountant,
rendered valuable services. Mr..
Wilson was engaged to audit the
books of Mr.. Dunn and did this in
the most careful and capable man
ner. to the satisfaction Of all con-
cerned and with a correctness that
made the settlement accurate and
complete.
The Telegram takes pleasure IN
the fact that MT. Willison was call
ed upon to unravel such compl-
Gated piece Of official business and
did It in such successful manner.
The incident appeals to every NUM-
cipal government to have an auditor
or expert accountant aid In the an
nual settlements to insure absolute
accuracy and completeness, and
there are none better fitted to dc
this work than Mr.. Wilson and as
suredly none who win perform such
service in more honest, capable
and intelligent manner.

CHURN FAILS
TO MAKE GOOD
Would Not Turn Ont Three Pounds
Of Butter From One Pound
and Quart Of Milk.

Blaine G. Jackson thought it
would be a great money-making
scheme to make three pounds Of but
ter out of one pound of butter and
single quart Of milk. So, he
bought churn of L. G. MARBLE. he
says, that MARBLE said would do that
trick. He claims he paid MARBLE
twenty-five dollars for the churn.
But when he tried to make so much
butter out Of ingredients that did
not weigh that much, he learned it
could not be done. At least that
churn would not turn out three
pounds of butter from one pound Of
butter and one quart of milk. and
SO he had MARBLE arrested for get
ting the twenty-five from him under
false pretenses. Justice Gordon win
hear the case Wednesday afternoon
at 1890 O'Clock. MARBLE Is out on
bond of ave hundred dollars.

It has been said that few Of the
more unimportant railroads in West
Virginia will be taken out Of use

profits may be included in the DIFF.
ference between the book rate and
the three cents a mile charge.

Rymer Dramatically Cries To Judge
and Later Tells Him, he Would
Not. il Rymer Was Innocent.


Charles Rymer was sentenced to
ten years imprisonment by Judge c.
W. Lynch late Saturday evening. It
was the closing scene of the term Of
court, and was made highly dramatic
by an address which the prisoner de-
liverey in court before sentence was
pronounced.
When the court inquired Of Rymer
If he had anything TO say why SEN
tence should not be pronounced on
him, he arose and made dramatic
plea, in which he declared his limo
cence of the crime for which he was
convicted. "You are sending an In
nocent man to prison." he said in
conclusion.
in passing sentence, the court said
that he would rather make any err
ror in life than sentence an innocent
man to prison, but in Rymer's case
the evidence was such that 1t left no
doubt of the prisoners guilt in the
courts mind.
Rymer was arrested and tried for
breaking into the residence Of Frank
c. Gaylord, prominent citizen, and
assaulting. binding and gagging a
servant girl, while he riied the
house. He was traced by blood
hounds to a lumber yard on the out
skirts of the city. He was arrested
and taken before the servant girl,
who positively identified him as the
one of the men who ATTACKED her.

CATTLE-As usual on saturday, there
We're no fresh cattle OF any consequence.
The few scattering loads mere were not
sufficient to make a market or establish
prices. All that can be said regarding the
current day s business Is TO quote 1t as
nomnally steady.
The receipts OF cattle this week have been
only moderate. the run being slightly less
than for the previous week and for the cor
responding week Of a year ago. Al the
same time the supply has been about equal
to the demand The quality Of me cattle
on an average has not been anything very
extra only few real good loads "a Deef
steers having been received during the
week. The market opened on Monday just
about lOc higher than the close OF the pre-
vious week, but this advance was just about
wiped out the day following. Wednesdays
market seemed to be a shade better but
the trade was slow on Thursday and fully
steady on Friday. After taking the various
ups and downs into consideration it will be
found that the market at the close of the
week is very little different from what It
was at the end Of last week. AS noted
above, the quality OF the cattle has not
averaged very high, but there have been a
few here good enough TO bring $3.50 and
The market on cows and heifers has fol-
lowed along very closely after the steer

better, losing the advance on Tuesday and
recovering somewhat toward the last Of the
week For the week II is safe to quoue the
market as fully steady at the very least.
some would say a little higher, in extreme
that the cows and heifers coming especially
the latter part of the week were not very
good, that the cattle did not kill out very
we'll and that their killing sheets show that
they are costing them considerably more
than week ago.
The stocker and feeder market has been In
very good condition all the week in fact
selling interests have had nothing TO com
plain OF regarding the way their stock and
feeding cattle have been selling for some
time back Receipts have been moderate
for the last two or three weeks while the
demand has been quite brisk The result
has been that the feeder market has been
quoted strong and active for almost every
day during the last two weeks or more
This week furnished no exception to the
rule, the tendency of values being stronger
