2. Intelligent Goodness the Child
of Industry.
3. Intelligent Goodness the Par

LAVYER
JUMPS
The CITY

Attorney ]. V. HoefIler, who came
here more than year ago from
Woodsfeld, Ohio, where his father
resides, is said to have left Clarks-
burg very suddenly a day or so ago,
and is not expected to return.
The cause of Mr.. Hoefier's sud-
den departure is said to be number
of financial obligations he was un-
able to meet, amounting to several
hunrded dollars, among which is a
board bill or two.
Mr.. Hoeff1er is said TO have hand
led loosely the funds of secret or
ganization, of which he was until
recently secretary-treasurer, and is
considerably indebted to the society.
The young attorney is well liked
here and it is the hope of many
Clarksburg friends that he may soon
be able to meet all these obligations
in full and that his departure was
not for the purpose Of evading their
payment as none believe he means
not to pay them.

point, the chief having been iil-.
formed byTire that a gang OF.
thieves were following the circus,
and at the hour mentioned tliey
heard a noise at the brewery. Upon
investigation they found a ganp
llongside the brewery on the Short
itreet side and another gang in the
rear of the brewery. Butass the OF
icers approached the fellows fled
toward the railroad crossing and
separating at that point ran both
ways. There were eight or ten men
in the gang. In making their Is
cape they fell over beer kegs and
doubtless injured sthemselyes but
that did not hinder them from
scamping away The officers fired 4
few shots at them, but, 50 far as is
known, did, not hit them.
just previous to the discovery

and inquired where he could get
some beer They fold him there

TIN PLATE men
DEFEAT CLARKSBURG

The Phillips Sheet & Tin Plate
Company baH team defeated Clarks-
burg Saturday at the park ball
grounds by a scorr of 4o-to 2 in
seven innings Hughes, pitching
for the I'm plate allowed bat. two
hits. Pho feature of=the game: wae
the exceedingly poor exnhit OF
ball PLAYING by Clarksburg, who
upon seeing very quickly what they
were up against lost their nerve and
excused themselves by stating they
did not play their regular team,
which was anything but sportsman
ike. and not appreciated by the
spectators. The article of ball put
np by the regular players on the
Clarksburg team was ridiculous and
could not compare fayorably with a
lot Of school boys. 1t has been
noticed that six of their team who
PLAYED Saturday also participated in
the game Sunday with Lafayette.
The Phillips team plays Lafayette
on Saturday at which time a good
game is expected as neither Of these
teams can be termed "quitters."

room and found the woman in bed,
almost naked. They placed them
under arrest.

not guilty. The policemen testified
and the mayor found him guilty as
charged and sentenced both to pay
fine of $1,000 and to serve thirty
days in jail. Moore took an appeal
for Watson.

This is to certify that the report

parade that Mayor Harmer had re-

Of money before permitting our
show to parade the streets of the
city is absolutely false, but on the
contrary when I first saw the mayor
about having a parade, he stated
there was no license required and we
should have the free use of the
