FAMILIES HAVE
FIERCE FIGHT
Gums, Rocks, Clubs, Beer and What
Not Employed According to
Warr.lnt Seeking Factions.

Magistrate courts and police head
quarters we're besieged Saturday by
several of the McAtees and Daugh-
ertys who live along the West Vir-
sinia & Pittsburg division of the b.
& o. railroad above the old dinky
depot near the city limits. The Nc
Atees wanted warrants for the
Daughertys and the Daughertys
wanted warrants for the McAtees.
Up to press time, however, no war
rants had been issued.
1t appears from the long tales of
woe told by each faction in the sew
eral courts that the two families
have been having prolonged fight
in their neighborhood and that of
late revolvers have been brought in
to use. The McAtees allege that
Bette Daugherty took a revolver
and shot their house all up and
threatened 10 shoot the McAtees.
Bette appeared in the courts with
several big rocks in an old flour sack
which she wanted to employ as ex-
hibits, claiming that they were
thrown at her and her family by the
MCAtees. Each faction charges the
other with raising all sorts of
rumpuses and one side alleges that
the other carries one bucket of beer
after another" into camp every even
ing and that both men and women
get drunk and have terrible froilcs''
away into the morning hours.
Sticks. stones. clubs, rocks, boards
and other missiles and weapons are
freely used by the two factions in
the continuous fighting. according to
the tales told to the officers.
o9rers warned the representatives
Of both factions to behave them
selves or squad of constables and
policemen would swoop down and
arrest all of them. The camp will
be watched for several nights and if
there are anY disturbances a whole
sale arrest will take place.

tion Company has let contracts for
two new baggage cars which are in
tended for use on the interurban
line. The cars are expected to ar
rive in the near future.

elusive use of the store department
of the Fairmont Coal Company and
will be used to make daily deliveries
of goods to the various stores. The
other will be run regularly on the
Fairmont-C Clarksburg line.
The coal company car will be a
short but very strong one and will
have large capacity.
At Gypsy a siding will be con-
structed so that railroad freight cars
can be unIoaded on to the trolley
baggage car and the daily trip will
be made from that point. supplying
all of the stores along the interur-
ban and local lines of the company.
The placing OF a new public bag
gage car on the line is necesistated
by the increasing amount of freight
and baggage that is being hauled
over the new road.
The growth Of this business is
marvellous and the company will use
every means to take the proper care
of 1t.

No Time For Wild Rumors

The man or woman who will start idle
rumors at this time concerning local banks
is not only menace to the country but is
a positive detriment to himself or herself.
This is time for every citizen to stand
shoulder to shoulder with his neighbor.
The fact that Kansas City bank has
closed has no effect on any Of the Bar
Der county banks. None of them had a
dollar in the closed bank and consequent
ly no loss has been sustained.
Another thing that should be discour-
aged: every bank in every community
has its partisans and its enemies. For
the partisans Of one bank to influence
people to change their accounts from one
bank to another during a crisis is certain
to operate against both banks, for if the
partisans Of one bank start something the
partisans Of the other are sure to retail
late. Keep cool. We do not believe
it is possible to cripple any Of our local
banks. but if done, the people who have
deposits are the ones who will do it.
