Shot Four Men And Tried To Burn
Town.

New MARTINsvILLE, W. Va, Jan. 3d.
Claiming that God had instructed him to burn
the town of Smithfeld, w. Va, 80 miles from
here, Harry Howard was arrested there last
evening as he was emerging from the Bane
Hotel. 1t was ascertained that an attempt
had been made to fire the hotel, and at the
same time three other buildings, the home of
W. A. Lewis, cashier of the Smithfeld Bank,
the Smithfeld general store and billiard hall
burst into flames. The fires, however, were
extinguished with small loss.
Howard resisted arrest, and before he was
captured shot four men, two of them, it is
said, receiving fatal wounds.
After he had been placed in the lookup a
mob attacked the building for the purpose of
lynching him, but the crowd was driven off
and later Howard was secretly brought to the
county Jail here.
The men wounded by Howard are Earl and
Grover Hildebrand, W. E. Smith, chief of
police, and Charles Edgell, constable. The
Hildebrand brothers will probably die. Smith
and Edgells injuries are not serious.

Moved Him.

TOLEDO, ONO. January 31.-Charged with
bigamy and credited by the court officers with
having 13 wives, Albert Holden, minister,
pleaded guilty and was sentenced by Judge
barber to serve six years in the Penitentiary.

time the spirit moved him. His courtships
always took place during one of his revivals,
and his victim was always one of those whom
he had taken into the fold.
Just before sentence was passed Holden
said to the judge that years ago he had been a
victim of spinal trouble, which had created
pressure on the brain, and because of this
affection he was simply driven into the willing
arms of the women. He said that he had
struggled against the sin of bigamy, but that
ell his prayers had availed him nothing.
