DR.. Bartlett
Passes Away
WELL KNOWN PHYSICIAN oI
HARRISON COUNTY DIED
LAST EVENING.

CLARKsBURG. Feb. 26.-Dr. It
Bailey Bartlett, one Of the best known
physicians in this county, died at his
home at Mt. Glare Tuesday night at
$40 o'clock.
The deceased had been in III health
for more than year and had been
rapidly declining until a few weeks
ago when he was afflicted with com.
pltcatlon of diseases, which was the
immediate cause of his death although
he had previously suffered two severe
stroke of paralysis.
DR.. Bartlett was native OF this
county and was about 7S years of age
at the time of his death. He was al.
ways studlous Individual and at an
early age acquired an exceptionally
good classic and academic education
and later attended and was graduated
from medical college in Cincinnati
and subsequently took several post
graduate courses, and for many years
was classed as the leading country
doctor in Harrison county.

Threw Acid
In Wornan's S
Face
Dastardly Deed
OF Dirty Coward

cLARKSBURG. Feb. &C. From an
unknown motive an attempt was made
on the life Of Mrs. Herbert Davis at
her home in the East End OF the city
Monday afternoon by dashing a bot
tie of carboilc acid at her face. For
tunately she shielded her face with
her arm which is now in terrible
condition as result of the ravages of
the acid.
Who the wretch is and for what
reason he made his dastardly attempt
on this very respectable woman is a
mystery to all who are familiar with
the circumstances. The visit of an
unknown woman who warned Mrs.
Davis of the designs of this strange
man adds mystery to the case.
Mr.. Davis, who Is railroad man
here. lives with his wife and one child
in a cottage along the railroad track
within a few feet of the scale house
at the North end of Oak street.
The unknown man who threw the
acid at Mrs. Davis at the front door
there Monday appeared at the door
a few days ago with a bundle under
his arm which Mrs. Davis believes to
have been a rug. He insisted upon
entering the house but the door was
closed in his face. On the day fol-
lowing strange woman appeared az
the door and inquired If stranger
had not been there on the day prev;-
Gus. Upon being informed that there
had. she made the statement to Mrs.
Davis that she shouhl keep on her
guard as the man meant to do her
harm. Without further explanation
the strange woman disappeared.
AS soon as the man appeared at the
door Monday Mrs. Davis recognized
him. He said that he was selling
perfumery and while reaching this
bottle to Mrs Davis asked her to
smell It. Becoming suspicious, Mrs.
Davis stepped back and was in the
act of closing the door when the con-
tents were dashed at her. Her arm
went up and over her face in the very
niche of time to prevent the deadly
acid from striking her fair in the face
which would have meant at least the
destruction Of her eyesight and the
terrible mutlation of her face. Death
might have been the result had the
acid not missed it's mark. The des-
perate man then disappeared hurried
ly.
The unknown man who threw the
acid is described by Mrs. Davis as be-
ing a very rough and ragged appear,
ing man. He is about forty years OF
age.
There was story in circulation on
Tuesday to the effect that there was
woman in Adamston who was impli.
Gated in the affair. that she had be.
come enraged at Mr.. Davis for some
reason and that this was her means
of revenge. This report, however.
could not be verified.

Chicago, April 27-Elinor Glyn,
the authoress, who is investing in a
Wyoming ranch, attended a ranch
show yesterday and gurgled senti-
mentally over Tom Mix, six foot
Oklahoma cowboy His daring per-
formances on his broncho, his red
shirt and his leather trousers took her
eye. Every time he went around the
ring she applauded and gazed admir-
ingly at him. Once Tom returned the
look, hurriedly. and then got busy
with his reins.
When the performance ended Mrs
Glyn was told she might go behind
the scenes and see the cowboys. The
first one she met was Tom. She
grasped his hand and while holding
1t said:
"Oh, you handsome, daring fellow |!
Won't you give me your photograph? ?"
Why, darn it" began the cow
puncher. beg your pardon. Miss,
but I haven't any by with good

you are-red shirt and all. You are
so handsome that way. Won't you
give me your picture? I'll send you
copy of Three Weeks with my
autograph on 1t IL you WILL" she
pleaded.
So the cowboy promised. When Mrs
Glyn packed her treasures last night
Mix's picture was among the things.
