Trying to Save w est.

A dispatch from Cincinnati, Ohio, dated
August 3rd, say:
Additional evidence that Earl West, OF
Washington, ID. c., was not at Sidney,
Ohio, on the day Butcher Legg was muir.
dered, for which he ID awaiting electrocu-
ton, has been found. Harvey Sutton, OF
Hamilton, last night declared that West
stopped at his house in Hamilton on the day
of the murder. Sutton was a witness OF the
murder trial in Sidney, but he was then I'm
able to positively recall the date of Vests
visit to his house, although West, as part OF
his defense, claimed that it was the day Of
the murder, April 20.
"'lf was to die in the electric chair to-
morrow my last words would be that am
innocent declared West at the pen last
night. Sutton said this morning that when
the Judge asked West If he had anything
to say before sentence was passed he replied !:
Judge, am entirely innocent OF this crime.
Some day you will find that am innocent.
"rhe character OF the people in Hamilton
who have furnished the information that
may save Earl West from the electric chat r
Ia above reproach They are actuated by
the purest motives, their purpose being to
save man from paying the death penalty
when they conscientiousally believe him
innocent"

Held UP by No8rO.-A man, SAID
to be a mulatto, attempted, Monday morn
ing last, TO hold up Mr.. Ernest M. Holland,
a merchant of Redlsnd, this county, while
on his way to Rockville to deposit money
in the bank.
The attempt was made about half way be-
tween Redland and Derwood, at place
denseIy shaded by trees, near the crossing
of a small stream. The man came running
from the woods, calling for MIR. Holland to
halt, when the latter took revolver from
the buggy seat beside him and fired at his
assailant, who turned and fed.
Mr. Holland put bis horse at rapid speed
when he heard the man shout to him to halt
and saw him running toward him, and in
his excitement he shot wide Of the mark,
and also failed TO note closely the appear
ance of his assailant He is only able to
say that the man was mulatto, about five
feet, five inches tall, and Of ungainly build,
which answers to the description of the
hlghwayman who shot and robbed Charles
l.. Souder, Virginia schoolmaster, near
Redland, about a month ago.
Several deputy sheriffs and about lOO
armed citizens secured the Derwood and
Redland section all that day in search Of
the mulatto without getting sight at him
Another attempted hold-up occurred neal
Rockville about daybreak Wednesday morn.
ing, when Milford Ford, colored, who re-
sides near Norbeck. was chased and fired al
several times by young mulatto, supposed
TO be the same person who waylaid Ernest
M. Holland near Derwood on Monday,
and shot and robbed Charles L. Souder.

ia one of distinction to herself and profit to
her owner. She has made record oil 2;l1
In ten heat race, which she won. AT one
track abe went two races in one week, and
in one of them won purse OF $4OO and In
the other for purse of $500 won second
position. Only once did she take less than
second money in any Of her races, and then
took fourth money. Her winning races
number as many as four, all OF split heats,
coptesting for purses of $500 She was
driven in all her races by Mr.. Dorsey. She
was raised on the farm of Mr.. Charles u.
Griffith, near Beallsvile, this county. She
is by Media Wilkes, a local sire now dead,
and from daughter Of Angus, son oil the

AT our Fair last year and took record OF

President Lamar Explains.

Mr.. George H. Lamar, President of th,
Board Of County School Commissioners il
respect to the alleged removal Of the formel
principal OF the graded school at Bethesds
said:
1.-The statement published in The San o.
Monday, August 9th, to the effect that the
lady who has been teaching as principal oil
the graded school at Bethesda has been re.
quested to resign and then removed by the
County Board for reasons not given is in.
accurate and misleading. The position be.
came vacant by the operation of the genera
law OF the Board requiring the principals
oil graded schools to have first grade, flrst
class certificates. This teacher failed to re-
ceiVe marks in her recent teachers exami.
nation on which such certificate could be
issued, greatly to the regret of every mem.
Der OF the Board. She was advised of this
fact under date of the 10th of last month,
and was requested to inform the Board
whether or not she would desire to receive
an appointment to position as an assistant
In the same school, but the communication
on the subject has thus far been ignored
The local Board of Trustees has been mott.
fled of the vacancy in the position OF prin-
cipal, that 1t may secure a good teacher,
holding the requisite certificate, before all
of the most desirable teachers make con-
tracts elsewhere.
This lady has been teaching in the county
for a number of years on second grade GER
tlficate, and held such when the new build
ing at Bethesda was completed and the grad.
cd school was established th5ro in tho laiteg
part of 1905. The Board, as then consttut-
ed, permitted her to remain as principal for
the remainder of that school year, with the
understanding, as | am advised, that she
would take the regular teachers examine
ton for the requisite certificate the next
June, 1905. She took the examination as
given by Superintendent S. Il. White, who
was unable thereon to award her the regu'
lar first grade certificate, but recommended
that a first grade permit for one gear should
be granted, as the examination was regarded
as unusually hard. The Board adopted the
recommendation, and her permit expired
this summer. Understanding she would
have to procure, by examination, a first
grade, first class certificate in order to hold
the place this year, she appeared at the reg
ular teachers examination and tried for a
first grade certificate, but failed to receive
marks which would permit the granting OF
such certificate, greatly TO the regret OF the
and the Board.
However the Board would like to favor
this teacher, the members of the Board are
unanimous in their determination to have
the principal of every graded school in the
county holder of the highest grade OF GER
tificate, without exception"
