Quite Success Last
Night.
By THE SCORE OF 9 TO 5

The Montpelier high school girls bas-
ket ball team defeated the Spaulding
high school girls, . to s, in the Church
street gymnasium last evening in the
irst game of the girls league to be
,laycd here This was the opening game
Tor the Spaulding girls and, despite the
defeat, they played a good game. They
made as many baskets from the floor as
their opponents, but their inability to
throw baskets from the foul line lost
them the game
Gladding and Grigg each threw bas
ket from the floor in the first period,
while Miller made two for Montpelier,
besides throwing three baskets from
fouls In the last half Brown made one
basket from the foul line for Spaulding
and Miller two fouls for Montpelier.
The games in this league are played
under the girls rules, the first time that
these rules have been used here in girls
games. The teams have two centers
instead Of one as in the boys rules, and
the floor IS spaced off by two lines run
ming crosswise, making three spaces, in
which the guards, centers and forwards
are placed. For player to step over
one OF the lines into the next space con-
stitutes foul. Though it is hard for
the players to keep within the bounds
OF the spaces and many fouls are made

GET TRIP TO THE PEN
For His Work of Trying to Get
Revenge on the Short
Line Road.

NEW MARTINsvILLE, May s.
Saturday evening the jury In the
case OF the state against Samuel Nc
Cormick, ! aged 20 years, and SON OF
John Mccormick, of Parker Falls,
brought in verdict OF guilty, which
means a confinement in the Mounds
vile penitentiary of not less than
five years.
The jury was not long in arriving
at verdict and II came as a COM
plete surprise to Mccormick, who all
along believed that he would be clear
ed of, the charge of attempting to
wreck the evening passenger train to
Clarksburg on the West Virginia
Short Line railroad at Porter Falls.
His attorneys made hard fight and
following the verdict made motion
for new trial.
Mccormick was formerly employ
ed as a section hand by the Short
Line railroad at Porter Falls but was
discharged for some cause. 1t was
alleged, though never proved, that
be was responsible for the placing OF
some angle bars on the railroad track
in the month of October, 1897. The
rock which was found on the rail-
road track and with which McCor-
mick attempted to wreck the train
was a large piece Of limestone which
had been brought to Porter Falls by
the railroad company to ballast the
track, and was placed on the high
rail OF sharp curve and at such a
point that the engineer could not see
the rock until he was upon 1t and
then probably too late to stop the
train. Another young man was
along with Mccormick at the time
that he placed the rock on the track
but he did not offer to take 1t from
the rail. He was also employed by
the railroad company and is still in
its employ The section boss lives
but a few hundred yards below the
place where the rock was discovered
but none of the railroad men found
it. Leonard Morgan discovered the
rock and removed 1t while on his
way home. The Short Line train
was then due in 10 minutes.

ITALIAN TRIES
TO KILL BROOKS
--
Draws a StiIIetto But is Quick
,ly Disarmed by the
Officer.

Complaint late Saturday night was
made to officer Harry Brooks in
Glen Elk by an Italian that coun-
tryman Of his had been searching
for him with intent to kill him. Of
hcer Brooks Immediately went in
quest of the man. Finding him, he
placed him under arrest. The fellow,
"a stout, desperate Italian named
pominlck Girco. attempted to shoot
the officer, who quickly overpowered
and dlsarmed him.
y Afterwards, on the way to the po-
lice station, the Italian attempted to
draw q stilletto on the officer, who
again was too quick for him, taking
the weapon from him. Nothing but
the magnanimity of the brave officer
prevented him from handling the fell
low as roughly as he desreved.
Quite a mob of sympathizlng Ital-
ians drew around the officer, whose
cool courage soon dismayed them.
0hicer Brooks can always be relied
upon to do his duty regardless of
what may confront him.
