RACES ARE NAMED
FOR NEWSPAPERS
Big Stake Events at the State
Fair in the City of
Wheeling.

WHEELING, Sept. S-Despite tae
fact that newspapers give a great deal
OF space to state fairs and similar ex-
positions 1t Is seldom they receive
any recognition for the same, but this
year the West Virginia State Fair as
ISOLATION OF Wheeling has made an
interesting departure, one which will
be followed by other associations Of
q similar nature. The feature OF tha
racing program of the State fair this
year will be four stake races, one for
each of the big days of the fair, ana
the newspapers of Wheeling will be
recognized, because OF the fact that
they are backing these races. The
races are for purses Of $1,000 each
day, and already there have been re-
ceived entries to the number OF sew
eral hundred.
On Tuesday the Daily Telegraph
race will be run, and it will be a race
of the 1924 class. Wednesday the
News race, a 2:1S trot, will be the
feature. Thursday the 2:14 pace
will be that of the Register, and on
Friday the Intelligencer race will be
a 2:24 trot. Some of the best horses
in the country have been entered in
these races, among which will be
Klondyke, the beautiful bay gelding
owned by Thomas j. Sharkey, the
we'll known sailor, prize fighter, who
has an international reputation.

AWFUL MURDER.
Young Farmer Beaten to
Death at His Home Near
Farber.

Vandalis last Thursday, sometime
thru the day. or Thursday night.
August Wagner, 35 yea RS of age
a bachelor and living on his faith
er's farm alone, was the victim.
His head was terribly beaten with
some blunt instrument. His body
was found in a cellar under an out
house. The body was in a sitting
posture, leaning up against an ap-
pie barrel. He was fully dressed,
even to his overcoat.
II the deed was committed at
night, all traces of a struggle be-
tween the dwelling and the out
house, il there was one, were hid.
deu by the snow which fell during
the night, and covered as we'll the
tracks of his slayer. Nothing in
Wagner's home was disturbed,
showing there was no struggle in
the house, aud robbery evidently
was not the motive for the crime.
Clarence Farnsworth. who lives
near the scene of the crime, early
Thursday morning rode over to tie
Wagner place in search OF a stray
horse. He was unable to raise
Wagner by calling to him, and dis.
mounted and knocked at the door.
Receiving no reply he went
around to the rear Of the house aud
knocked again, aud this, failing to
bring a response, he tried the door.
1t was unlocked and be entered.
Wagner was not to be seen and re-
peated shouts bringing no response
Farnsworth became alarmed aud
went to a neighbours to ask il
Wagner had been seen that morn
ing.
They returned TO the Wagner
farm, another neigbbor joining
them OH the way, aud searched the
place. The clubhouse door was
closed. and when they opened it
and descended into the cellar they
made the horrible discovery of
Wagner's dead body.
Coroner P. E. Coil Of Mexico was
called to hold an inquest, which
wss held at Vandslia Friday after
noon. Not much evidence was de-
voloped, however, and the inquiry
was postponed to Monday.
Bloody finger prints upon joist
in the cellar, just over where the
dead body was found. were dis.
covered and the piece Of joist with
cory imprints was cut out aud is
being safely kept by the officers.
Que OF the latest theories as IA
the killing is that Wagner was
lured into the cellar and as he
stopped to a box Of potatoes or ap-
Piles be was struck down.
Luther (Curly) Anderson. who
owns restaurant at Farber and
whose parents reside at Farber.
Is suspected of the crime..and Friday
night was arrested aud brought "a
Mexico aud lodged in Jail. HC
waived a preliminary bearing and
will lie in Jail until the meeting Of
the Circuit Court in january.
Anderson protests innocence in
the face OF clrcnmstauiial evidence
against him.
A dispatch from Vaudalia con
tains these worlds
In connection with the tragedy
the officers are probing the sale o
a span of mules by Wagner to An
derson. The slain man informe,
his neighbofs ard dozen friend
in Vandalia that he was to receiv

mules. He more than once ex
