DREAM DISCOVERS
STORE ROBBERY
But Bloodhounds Fail to Track
Down Thieves at New
Martinsville.

NEW MARTINsyMLE, June e.
A dream led to the discovery of the
robbery here early in the morning of
Williams & Apkrom's general store.
but not to the capture OF the thieves.
Goods valued at s125 were stolen
from the place.
The store is on Main street. near
the bridge over Little Fishing creek
to Brooklyn. On the other side Of
the bridge is ]. G. McMunn,s harness
store. Mrs. McMunn dreamed that
her aged father had a serious chok-
Ing spell, to which he is subject. So
vivid was her dream that she urged
her husband to get up and dress and
together they crossed the bridge to
New Martinsville.
1t was then 300 a. m. AS they
passed Williams C Ankrom's store
they heard slight noise and looking
In saw two men at work. Mrs. Nc
Mum went on to her fathers house,
within easy distance. and watched the
store. Mr.. McMunn ran down to the
EaKin mouse and notified the night
policeman. He declares that he was
not away more than three minutes,
but during his absence the thieves
had left the store. Mrs. McMunn
saw them go toward the bridge. but
whether they crossed 1t or went down
to the creek she couldn't tell. The
night was dark and foggy.
F. L. shuman. OF =. L. shuman &
Co.. started subscription, literally
subscribed to by other merchants, 20
have the bloodhounds brought here
from Moundsville to track the thieves
The dogs, accompanied by M. G.
Morrison arrived on train and were
given the scent in the rear Of the
store. They ran to the front OF the
store. shifted around the shoe boxes;
sailed out Of the front door yelpins
and made straight for the creek
where they presently lost the scent.
1t Is believed that the thieves en-.
tered boat at the point where the
scent was last.

Kind laying upon private or public

town more attractive. and also hope
all people VIII refrain from throwing
any litter where It will be uncomely

is the custom of many people to
throw all waste into the public high
way. This I sincerely hope will cease
at once.
In order to aid In the matter of a
general war on dirt, I hereby set forth
the period of time beginning with
June 10 and including the 18th. These
four days will give every man, woman
and child chance to help in this

the outbuildings and fence, or paint;
nail up the loose pailings or boards
about your premises, and may It be
said that we are clean ana tidy about
our home life.
Don't forget to begin at once. The
laws of the state and municipality are
very strict along the lire of sanitary
conditions, and hint is sufficient.
Therefore take time by the forelock
and avoid the embarrassment .iiat

On the departure for New York OF
Maj. Wadsworth, the friend of Presi
dent Roosevelt, who was riding with
him last Saturday. the bottom was
knocked out of the story that an at.
tempt had been made to assassinale
the president
Wadsworth declared that while a
shot was fired near the road along
which he and the president were rid
ing, ii was fired by some target shoot
ers on the farm of w. Emlen Roose
welt the presidents cousin.
This positive statement, coupled
with an investigation made at Mineola
of a man suspected of the shooting.
completely upset the theory of an at
tempted assassination. which had
been given considerable credence
owing TO the mystery thrown about it
by the secret service men.

individuals we may as well make up

system has come 10 stay. The faults
which have cropped out at the recent
primary can easily be corrected and

just as it was improved two years
ago" The law, he says, must be so
amended as to require an enrolment
in April in order to vote at the pri-
mary in September. AN early enroll
ment will do away with swapping par
ties at the time of a primary. In April
the lines have not been drawn so
that the members of one party will
wish to vote at the primaries of the
other unless they are going over for
good. One much needed change is
provision making ii mandatory for
all parties to make nominations at
