A HISTORIC HIGHWAY.
How Colonel Zane Kept His Contract
to Mark the Road.

1t is said that the beginning of one
part of a historic road may be traced
u the following incident: In early
days, before the public conveyance by
stage between the east and west, travel
was generally by horseback. Judge
Brown. senator for Kentucky, reached
Wheeling on the way to the capital wet
and tired. lie was a guest of Colonel
Ebenezer Zane. an early settler at
Wheeling Standing before the fire in
Zane's comfortable cabin, he remark
ed, Zane. II you will have road
way marked from here TO Limeston
AIaysvil!e,. | viii have congress grant
YOU Il section of land at the crossing
of the Muskingum, Hooking and Scioto
rivers" Zane fulfilled the contract,
and congress made the grant.
May II, 1796, congress granted to
Ebenezer Zane three tracts of land,
one square mile, one on the Muskfn-
gum, one on the Hooking and one on
the Scioto river, in the state of Ohio,
for the purpose of building ferries on
the road from Wheeling, ". Va. to
Limeston, which road was to be opened
by the president of the United States.
These grants were confirmed to Zane
and patented Feb. Il, $500. On April
8. 1902. congress made the same al
lowance to Isaac Zane, his heirs or as
signs. located in the Northwest Terri
tory, now the state of Ohio. Zane made
good use of his grants. He located the
town of GAINESVILLE on the Muskingum,
the town of Fairfield on the Hook
ing and Chillicothe on the Scioto The
story runs that when Judge Brown
passed over the road he found it
well marked by-blazed trees. - Elk

MISFIT BALL GAME
At ATHLETIC PARK
That Roy Schattell Was Bene-
fitted Is the Only Re-
deeming Feature.
@. AND B. TEAM THE LIMIT.
SOME MISCONDUCT or THE PART
Or BOYS IN ATTENDANCE ADD
ED FURTHER TO THE UN-
PLEASANTEESS

It's nice that Roy Schattel got some
velvet out of the alleged baseball game
played Tuesday afternoon at Athletic
park, and the fans will probably over.
look the affair on account of Schattell
who is a deserving young man. How
ever. no other excuse is acceptable for
such misfit ball playing.
The Quigley and Babylon outfit is,
without doubt. the worst outfit that
has paraded itself at Athletic park
this season, not even excepting the
Cincinnati Harlems. They were bur
Jed under a score of II to t and errors
on both sides were as numerous as
flies in August All told. nineteen
glaring misplars were perpetrated.
Fisher was in the box for the Rich
monds and he toyed with the @. & B.
batsmen. His work and that of his
battery partner. Manager Jessup, were
the only features. of the game.
The Richmond Amusement compa-
ny permits juvenile enthusiasts to leak
into the lot each game at the close of
the first inning. This ruling permit
ted some north end rabble to enjoy
the game Tuesday. To show their ap-
probation OF the generosity of
the management, these half grown
brats perched themselves in the
right field bleachers and spent
their entire time hurting uncalled for
remarks at the Richmond players
Toad Kelley, at shortstop. was their
idol. and when he occasionally succeed
ed in stopping ball their enthusiasm
knew no bounds and Manager Jessup
was ridiculed for releasing him. The
decent patrons of the game demand
that in the future these rowdies be
kept out of the park, as some of the
friends to the games AS long as
there is any chance of being insulted
by these toughs. women will not come
to the park.

is concerned. the less said about it the

Letter Dated Day of Murder.
The letter was postmarked at Den
yer on December 80, the day that
Steunenberg was killed and 1t is claim
ed by the state that the Jack" men
toned was Simpkins and that the
that" referred to was 500 which Or
chard swore he asked Simpkins to
secure for him when he was leaving
Caldwell
The state developed its contention
that, as tending to show conspiracy
and knowledge of the Steunenberg
crime, Orchard was, without any re-
quest from him, furnished with coun-
sci within a few days after his arrest.
The defense examined Orchard on
his subject and largely devoted itself
to showing that the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners always provided coun-
sci for it's members wherever and
whenever they got into trouble.
To combat the theory that Orchard
killed Steunenberg in revenge for his
loss of valuable interest in the Her.
cules Mine, the state on redirect ex-
animation obtained from Orchard
declaration that he sold his interest
in the Hercules in 1897, two years be-
fore the strike and troops came.

USED FOR A HOTEL
A. ID. Walpole Bought the Building
North o. the City and Converts
1t Into a Hotel

A. d. Walpole has just completed
the purchase Of the corrugated iron
building located a little over a mile
north of town, which he will con-
vert into a hotel. 1t is quite a large
structure, 34x60, and has a goodly
number of rooms. 1t was owned by
the Fullerton Lumber Co., which firm
took it on a debt. 1t is the intention
Of Mr.. Walpole to move the building
to the city Immediately and place it
on the corner of First Avenue east
and Lawler street, which site has so
long been used for a haymarket
luare. Mr.. Walpole bought the lots
there some time ago and then got
possession of the house. After it is
moved in and some repairs made on
it the place will be opened as a hotel.
and later in the season he expects to
build an addition to 1t. At present
Mr.. Walpole is alone in the enter
prise, but it is possible that others
will take an interest in it. This will
give Mitchell one more hotel to take
care of the crowds that come here to
attend the frequent gatherings of a
state nature.
