FARMER COMMITS SUICIDE.
W. NJ. Dyar, of Anderson County,
Blows Out His Brains.

Anderson, May lev. M. Dyar,
a white man, living in the Fork
township, this county, committed
suicide by shooting nimself in the
head with a shotgun. He literally
blew the top Of his head off, his
brains being scattered over the
ground for considerable area. So
far as can be learned there was no
cause for his rash act. J. j. Cromer,
on whose place the suicide occurred ),
says that Dyar was subject to des-
pondent spells and that he had talk
ed several times during the past
year Of killing himself. He left his
home just before the act, told his
wife he was going TO see his brother
in-law, mile or so away. He car
ried his gun with him and instead Of
calling on his relative he went to a
field near his home and fired the
fatal shot.
Magistrate FAINT held an inquest
and the jury returned a verdict that
the deceased came to his death from
self-inflicted wounds. The deceased
was about 45 years Of age and was
a quiet, hard-working man.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering

rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that 1T is the most common
Of all ills, and 1t is certainly crafty
ing to sufferers to know that Cham
berlain's Pain Balm will afford re-
lief, and make rest and sleep posi-
BILE. In many cases the relief from
pain, which Is at first temporary, has
become permanent, while in old peo-
pie subject to chronic rheumatism,
often brought on by dampness or
changes in the weather, permanent
cure cannot be expected; the relief
from pain which this liniment affords
is alone worth many times it's cost.

VICTIMS OF MAD DOG BITE.
Twelve GreenvilIe Children Taken to
Atlanta for Treatment.

Greenville, May 16.-Twelye chill
dren were taken~to Atlanta to-day to
be treated in the Pasteur Institute
OF that city for what the physicians
Of that hospital think will turn out
to be hydrophobia, caused from the
bite OF mad dog puppy and mad
shepherd dog. On Wednesday a lit
tie shepherd puppy bit nine children
In the Stone avenue neighborhood.
The parents of these children be-
came frightened BECAUSE the little
puppy was acting queerly, and killed
the canine and shipped its head to
the Pasteur Institute to be examined.
Yesterday afternoon b. H. Peace, Of
the Peace Printing, Company, re-
ceived telegram from the hospital
In Atlanta, saying that they had ex-
amined the head OF the dog which
was sent there and found that the
animal had had hydrophobia.
Upon the receipt Of this telegram,
Mr.. and Mrs. Peace, with Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank j. Watson made arrange
ments to leave for Atlanta yester-
day morning with their children
Five of Mr.. Peace's children, three
Of Mr.. Candler's children and one
child of Mr.. Watson were bitten by
the puppy and they were taken to
Atlanta to be treated.
Three children from West End,
accompanied by their parents, made
hurried preparations late yesterday
afternoon and left for Atlanta where
the children will also be treated for
hydrophobia. These children were
bitten late Wednesday afternoon by
large shepherd dog, which was af-
terwards killed by policemen.

BIG COAL CASE
ARGUED TO-DAY
In Federal Court and Judge
Dayton Passes on
Other Matters.

Immediately after federal court
court opened in second days ses-
sion argument of the case of II. S.
odbert and others against William
Marquet and others was taken up.
Wednesday morning, Judge Blizzard
and Messrs. Marshall appearing for
the plaintiffs and Judge Campbell
and others for the defendants.
The case arises from the sale of
200 acres OF coal near New Cumber-
land in 1902, including railroad
for $10S.000 and the suit is brought
to abate payment of the remainder of
the money, amounting to 100000, up
on the ground that there was misrep-
resentation of the property. In con-
necticn Herewith also was the priv
ilege of an option on COO acres sur
rounding. under which the plaintiffs
allege there is in reality but ten acres
of coal.
Five thousand dollars was paid in
cash at the time of the purchase of
the land and negotiable notes given
for the remainder. The purchasers
operated the property and paid the
notes as they came due in 1905, &C.
cording to the defendants, two of the
four purchasers failed to pay notes
given. Marquet, who had negotiated
them, had to stand good for them at
bank. and, when the banks demanded
payment, the plaintiffs filed bill in
federal court in August. 1906. al
leging fraud and asking that the re-
mainder of the purchase price b,
abated as to payment, alleging fraud
discovered in 1903 as tated. The de-
PENDANTS state that between s3O,0
and 100000 remains unpaid.
John II. Hickman was acquitted of
violating the internal revenue laws.
1t was decided not to try any of
the G. o. D. cases this court and 1t
is probable they will be dropped al
together this being the conclusion of
the court, unless the department of
justice instructs otherwise. It ap-
peared to the court that the express
ness and that the agents themselves
were not willing parties to the former
transactions.
The Merriefeld case was set for
trial Thursday.
1t Is scarcely probable the depart
ment will advise prosecution of the
c O. ID. cases. rs an order has been
entered by Judge Golf, of the United
States circuit court whereby the Uni
ted States Express Company may not
longer receive or deliver in the state
of West Virginia c.. o. d. shipments
of Intoxicating liquor.
The case in which this has been
ordered is the injunction suit of the
Crescent Liquor Company, ct. Al. VS..
the United States Express Company.
which has ben pending in the feder-
al circuit court for year or more.
AT the time the suit was begun Judge
Goff granted the plaintiff liquor COM
pany temporary injunction. where
by the express company was compell-
ed to accept and deliver c. o. D. LID
quor.
The last order now entered in this
case no doubt puts an end to the c..
o. d. liquor traffic in West Virginia,
which was developing into traffic,
particularly among the dry counties,
of considerable proportions.
