three miles south of Cumberland, - in
West Virginia, was assaulted by an
unknown white man while on her way

girl to tree he placed towel over
her eyes and gagged her mouth. He
coolly told her he had been at her home
the night before and that he had tried
to get hold of her the previous day.
Before leaving her he warned her
against making an cutlery, and told
her he intended to bring his chum,
and that he intended to carry her of.

Interesting Story who is the Man 2

A Pittsburg paper publishes this
story:
"For the sake of recovering dia-
mond ring valued at only $l25, a
we'll known resident of Martinsburg,
w. Va, aged 81 years and wealthy,
followed Miss Daisy Bently, aged 26
years, of Plttsburg. over 1000 miles,
and late last night he learned from
Detective Fred Willie that. his long
chase had been rewarded by the re-
covery Of the ring.
According to statement made
by the Martinsburg man, he met Miss
Bently about year ago, while she
was serving as private secretary to
Homer L. Castle during political
campaign. The Martinsburg man
fell in love with the girl, and while
she was visiting friends in Martins.
burg presented her with the ring.
Last Wednesday the police au-
thorities in Pittsburg were notified
by Sheriff E. D. Gardner, of Mar
tinsburg. that a warrant had been is.
sued for Miss Bently, charging lar
ceny by bailee. The warrant was
accompanied by information as to
where the girl could be found.
"Last night Del ective Wills located
her at the home OF friends on Euclid
avenue, in the East End, where he
gave her what she claims was the
first intimation that the Martinsburg
man wanted his ring back. She told
the detective that the, Martinsburg
man had given it to her and had not
requested its return. When she
learned that the Martinsburg man
had caused warrant to be issued,
she at once surrendered the ring.
"The Martinsburg man was In
Pittsburg about week ago, and then
visited detective headquarters. While
there he explained that he had follow
ed Miss Bently from Martinsburg to
Washington, and from there to Phil.
adelphia and Atlantic City, and final
ly to Pittsburg. He expended about
$3.50 on the trip, and left the i'm
preston that he was more anxious to
find the girl than to recover the ring.
Miss Bently's home is in Philadel.

The woods are full of candidates
for the Republican nomination for
Governor of West Virginia Some
very good men have announced them :
selves, but the suspicion is growing
that the railroads and other corpora
tions are behind the scenes pulling
the strings. We hope that both
parties will nominate men who can be
depended upon to maintain the assess
ments that have been placed upon the
big corporations, for this fight has
been won only after a long and hard
struggle and it would be disastrous it
the people should lose the fruits OF
the victory by an unwise choice OF
candidates. Beware of the man who
wears the corporation collar.

Chicago is correct, which states that
the railroads have surrendered and
will put into general effect two-cent
rate of fare. Two cents mile is
enough, and any honestly. conducted
road can make money carrying pas

The railroads will do well to yield
to public sentiment in this matter
and at least give the two-cent rate a
