THE CAUSE?
Death Of Emmanuel Plattner, Who
Was Taken From Lookup, to
Be Investigated.

Emmanuel Plattner, who was TAX
en- from the city jail to the Kessler
hospital on the morning of February
"A suffering from the effects of a
poison or narcotic that he had taken,
died at that institution Thursday
night. The circumstances of his
death are such that the authorities
will likely order the holding of a
post mortem examination to ascer-
ttain the cause of his death. This
may result in further investigation
for 1t is believed that the man was
given dose of knockout drops in
some whiskey.
Paralysis of the heart was the d.
rect cause of Plattner's death. Be-
fore he died Plattner told the doc
tors at the hospital that he was not
drunkard, did not use intoxicants
habitually and that while he might
have been on a drunk at different
times, he never was in the condition
ne was when the police had him tax
en- to the hospital. He believed that
he had taken some poison in glass
of liquor for he said he did not drink
enough to make him drunk.
The body has been taken to the
morgue at the clifford-osborne un-
derttaking establishment and 1t will
be held there until the authorities
decide upon an investigation.
Plattner worked for the B. & o.
railroad in this city but his home
was in Martinsburg where he has
relatives. Chief of Police Richard
Scott sent a telegraphic message to
the relatives Friday notifying them
Of the mans death. Plattner was
about 40 years old.

GRAF TON IS
VANQU|sHED
BY Broaddus in the Interscholastic
Championship Basketball Game
in Company KS Ar1nory.

Broaddus vanquished Grafton high
school in the interscholastic cham
pionship basketball contest held in
Company ks armory in this city on
Thursday evening by score of 1s
to II. This victory for Broaddus
makes the game at Fairmont next
week the one which will decide the
championship.
The first half of the game was
very exciting. Both teams displayed
excellent team work, and Collins
made two baskets for Broaddus, and
Erwin and Boughner one each. Four
baskets were made, however, by the
Grafton team and so the flrst half
ended with tie score, s-s.
During the second hald the Broad
dus boys played much superior
game. H. Williams played a star
game for Broaddus by making two
very difficult baskets from held balls.
Collins did good work but was sue
cessful in only one attempt at basket.
Broaddus kept the ball in the OPP
pCnent's territory most Of this half
and allowed them only one field bas-
ket. For Grafton Rogers played the
star game. Lanham did some very
rough playing in the first half, but
was penalized so severely that he
played a cleaner game in the last
half. The line-up was as follows:
