An eighty-five dollar silver bari
tone horn belonging to Jack Hayes,

tone horn similar to the one that
Hayes lost and policeman stopped
him and asked him about 1t. II
was soon explained, however. that

whom Monroe was returning it, and
the latter was not arrested on sus-
picion. Hayes's horn is still missing
and officers have been requested to
watch out for it.
Hayes was waiting for a train at
the station and left the horn in a
case. together with a suit case in the
station while he went over to the

Hammer Attempts Frand.

If there has been any move to-
wards fraud in the city election, it
was by Harvey w Harmer, the pres
ent mayor, who is a candidate
against the political party he hypo-
critically processes to belong to, to
succeed himself as mayor.
Mayor Harmer tried to rush
through council proposition to re.
strict the registration of voters to
but two days. The council would
not stand for that, but to the con-
trary insisted that all the time pos
sible should be given the voters, in
which to register. These are facts
and Mr.. Harmer will not deny them.
He will not deny that he wanted but
two days for registrations. Here
are his own typewriter words in
that respect:
II now recommend that the coun.
Gil fix Monday and Tuesday, the 18th
and 10th of March. as the days for
such registration.
Remember it was Harvey w. Har-
mer, mayor of the city of Clarks-
burg, who made that recommends
ton. Remember also that he is
candidate for reelection.
The Telegram here charges him
with the first move towards frand in
the coming city election. if there has
been any such movement. Mayor
Harmer processes TO be lawyer
and he knows as well as any one else
that the council observed the law.
when it so firmly and quickly decid-
ed that every legal voter of Clarks-
burg should have an opportunity to
register.
The council met on the 18th of
March, vet he wanted no registra-
ton Of voters until nearly one week
later and then for only two days.
notwithstanding the fact there were
fourteen days before the city cleo
ton. The "nigger in the woodpile"
is so much in view in this design OF
the mayor upon the rights OF all
American citizens Of Clarksburg,
who have the right to vote, that the
old fellow rises head and shoulders
above the pile, and himself CON

The News charges Harvey W. Har-
mer with permitting former in.
mate of house of ill-repute to live
with noted gambler, as it expresses
it. This is under Mr.. Harmer's re-
form administration. Yet he made
promises and yet he makes preten-
siens. It is the sort of reform the
News breaches and says is such a
good thing. But. what is there
about IT that pleases the true blue
reformer? Why does Mayor Harmer
see no harm in that sort of conduct
II IT be true as the News says?

vindicates the assertion made by the

here in open violation of law.

A bold scheme was that engineered
by Malet, Frenchman. Malet had

put in a madhouse. During the EN-
peror's absence in Russia in 1912 Ma

an accomplice dressed as an aid-de'
camp made his way to the prison of
La Force, where the unsuspecting gov.

COURT FACES
UNIQUE DILEMMA

Complications in the Fisher case
during the past few days put the
Northumberland county court in one
of the strangest dilemmas in which any
Judge has ever been placed
Fisher is accused of murder and his
case was to have come up yesterday.
Under the law it could not again be
postponed except by request of the de-
fendant as it had already been twice
put off, and as Fisher still has no
counsel he can hardly be put ON trial
for his life. Nevertheless he insisted
on being tried ''Have it over" he
said. 81 don't care whether you hang
me or not" If his case would go by
default he could no longer be held in
prison.
The honorable court looked over the
attorneys present, attempting to dis
cover some prospective lawyer for the
defense. He again appealed to Welsh
and Welsh, whom he had originally
appointed. They firmly declined. 1--WE
will go to prison for contempt. your
HONOR" they said, 'rather then take
up the case again" The last time
they called ON their client a desperate
fist fight had ensued and they have no
desire to consult him again. Pressure
was brought to bear on Fisher, and
after several days hard work he was
persuaded to ask for a continuance,
which was granted with great alacrity
by the court ON Tuesday evening.
