Charles Ray had horse. He evi- dently did not stop to reflect that a horse could eat his head of.
 He put that horse in a pasture for five months. When he came to take aim out he inquired for his bill.
 The proprietor told him that if he would pay him ten dollars and give him the horse he would call it square Charles stated that tn s was little too strong but stated to the proprietor, ''Ii you keep that horse two months longer, you can have him" The pro- pristcr being naturally good fellow took him up and then both took smile.

New Strike Made
 In Globe District

According to the Silver Belt one of the richest gold and silver strikes ever made Tn the southwest !, reported on the Clark lease O! the Cole & Goodwin group of claims. The ore, and not the best of it either, will run Sl. 50 per pound. An assay, a report on which was given out last night, shows that the ore contains I05 our ces of gold aud ,i75 ounces of silver. When it wss first discovered it was thought to be "a silver proposition, and was 90 re- ported in Sunday's issue of the Silver Belt. Ore of similar nature bad never been discovered in the territory and old miners did not recognize the presence of gold
 The strike vas made in shaft at depth of about ten feet from the su.- face in small streak associated with commercial copper ore. The mine had been opened ss A copper proposi- tion. Going to the workings last Thursday, Mir. Clark discovered that his force of men was throwing over the dump a peculiar looking ore, which, upon examination, he discovered was very rich in silver A test for silver revealed the presence of other metals and gold run was made with the re- salt as given above. There has been at least 56o pounds Of this ore taken from the shaft and thrown over the dump.

POST IN JAIL
FOR FORGERY
Arrested on a Fugitive Warrant
in Officer Goes
After Him.

E. Thad Post is in jail in Corpus
Christi, Tex, and he will be brought
back 10 this city to answer the charge
OF forgery preferred against him in
magistrates court.
County officers received message
Thursday afternoon from that place
informing them OF the arrest OF Mr..
Post on fugitive warrant, sworn
out by T. 7. Elliott, of Corpus Christi,
former sherln OF Barbour county, and
stating that he was being held in jail
there, awaiting Instructions from this
county. The, authorities at Corpus
Christi were Immediately advised 70
hold Post until an officer could arrive
there to bring him back.
Deputy Sheriff William e. Leonard
left for Corpus Christi Thursday night
to bring Post back to this city to an
swer the charge OF forgery. Mr..
Leonard is acting under authority
given him in warrant sworn out IN
Justice James y. David's court.
charging him with forging the name
OF John Post to note for $3.50 in
favor OF the Stewart Fruit Company.
osman Z. Swartz is the complaining
witness. The officer has requisition
papers from Governor Dawson.
Post left here several weeks ago
suddenly and it developed a few days
after he went away that he had left
a lot OF debts behind, amounting to
several thousand dollars. of which
some are reported to be in notes with
the names OF relatives signed there
to.

Hubbard's Trust Paper Pub
lished About the Action Of
County Republicans.
IS ALL A CAMPAIGN LIE
Voters Do Not Have TO Register
for the Primary Election to
Be Held Next Monday.

The silly stories written by a so
called 1ntelligencer correspondent,
and bearing clarksburg date lines. OF
attempts on the part OF the Republic
can organization which he calls a
ring to coIonize voters in Harrison
county, meets with the contempt that
it wholly deserves. Every man.
black. white or yellow. in Harrison
county, even pollywoGs and China
men. know that the stories are simply
campaign lies. The writer OF them
evidences about the Intelligence of an
ordinary Digger Indian. and he esti-
mates the intelligence OF the people
Of Harrison county on a level with
his own. when he publishes and cir
culates such contemplate tommy-rot.
The charge is made that Republicans
must be coloniziug voters. because SIS
voters are charged TO have been
registered from single ward, and
that ward last election cast only 34S
Republican votes. The Republican
committee has made no registration
OF any body, and no poll OF any ward
or district Every Republican in
Clarksburs knows this to be fact.
The city council is having the voters.
OF clarksburg registered to vote at
the city election. This work is done
by sworn officers, and while we have
no information to the progress made
and do not know whether 525 voters
have been registered from any ward
or not. yet. If the ward one year ago
cast Ss4 Republican votes, it is prob
able that there are many more than
525 voters IN that ward.
The Republicans carried the city by
less than 80. II SSH Republicans
voted at that ward last election. there
should have been $50 Democrats ro:e
there. This would make IA voters
in the same ward at the last election.
The town has grown some within the
past year. despite Efforts of the men
OF the stripe. of him who writes this
slush for the Intelligencer. who i'm
pede and interfere with the prosper
ity OF any place where they may hap
pen to be, or MAKE their home.
The Telegram did not investigate
the statement as to the number Of
men. who registered In the ward. 525.
or the number of votes cast at the
last election by Republicans, 34S. but
merely took these figures from the
Intelligcncer. II they are true. they
simply show that the man who at
tempted to use these figures. to show
the padding Of the list was not only
a silly prevaricator, but one that
would even make figures lie If he
could. But In this case the figures
do not lie. They merely show who
does.

MORRIS LOSES
County of Richie in the Con-
test With Harry Wood
yard for Congress.

HARRIsvILLE. April s.-The Re-
publican primary election was held
throughout Richie county yesterday.
and the most surprising result IS the
defeat Of Presley W. Morris. of Par
kersburg, in his contest with Harry
woodward, of Roane county, for the
congressional endorsement OF the
county. The surprise is the greater
when ii is remembered that for many
years Mr.. Morris was a resident Of
Harrisvllle. conducting the leading
party paper OF the county. Later he
went to Parkersburs and became the
owner Of the State Journal, but he
has always maintained his identifca-
ton with affairs in Richie, and his
friends confidently predicted he would
win this county over woodward by an
enormous majority.
This will probably have the effect
Of eliminating Morris from the con-
test. though nothing to that effect
has come from. the Morris leaders.
The nominations made at the prI-
mary are as follows:
Sherit-John Holderman.
Circuit Clerk-H. L. McGinness.
County Cler-w. r. Meservie.
Assessor-G. NJ. Burton.
LegislatureSherinan Robinson.
