STRONG CASE
AGAINST BOOHER.
EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT soIo
WHlskEY IN CITY WITHOUT Is
LICENSE.

1t looks now that the city has 4
pretty strong case against ]. l.. Bool..
er. who formerly operated the Foun.
tain saloon. for selling whiskey With
ONT license. Angelo Garzia and Joe
Doll, two Italians, testified In notice
court this afternoon that they through
Philippe Grandinetti got whIskey at
The Fountain. This evidence came out
In the case or the City OF Fairmont VS..
Phippo GrandInetti. In this case the
defendant was charged with selling
liquor without license. Grandlnetti
gave his evidence through Paul Powell
as interpreter. He said that he got
a half pint of whiskey Saturday for
Angelo Garzta for which he paid
t'ooher twenty-five cents. He stated
further that he got the same quantity
OF whiskey for DodI for thirty.fiye
cents. He said that he got 1t from
Booher.
It developed in the trial that Mayor
Nicely gave Garcia the money to. get
whiskey and thai Gsrzzia gave It to
Granlinetti who procured 1t. The
same was true in the Dodi case.
Grandinetti was given a lecture but
not fined. He, was held as q witness
IN the case OF the City of Fatrmont
VS.. Eooher which is set for trial Thurs
day morning ut 8: 80 o'clock. The case
Of the City of Fairmont VS.. Antonio
D)te'lligetti for selling whiskey without

MR.. w. o. zlNN.

NO matter how much talent a man
may have, no matter about the rich
and influential relatives he may claim.
II he lacks in energy and enthus.
iasm his undertakings are certain to
fail. The editor of this paper recalls
with pleasure the period in his school
number of years in school work,
When Mr.. w. D. linn. OF Philippi, now
n member of the State Board OF Agri.
culture, was superintendent of schools
In Barbour county. He recalls also
that energy and enthusiasm were
marked charn cteristics of the young
man then ut the head Of the Barbour
county schools. He had progressive
IDEAS and the necessary push to put
them into practice. After serving for
a number Of years In school work,
Mr.. linn turned his attention to farm
Ing and the same qualities that made
him one of the best county superIn.
tendents the State ever had have given
him prominence as n progressive
farmer. Mr.. Zinn thinks the State
Board of Agriculture has been spend.
Ing too much time among the "gradu.
ate" farmers Of the State and not
enough among the young people who
are more susceptible to training
along modern advanced lines. He is
greatly pleased ut the reception ac-
corded the lectures on agriculture Mt
the various schools Mr.. linn has our
best wishes in his efforts to better the
conditions among the West Virginia
farmers ana We know he will succeed
for he knows no such word as fail.

A more tragic deed has never been
committed in Marion county that the
killing of Mrs. s. A. Coffman by her
husband early yesterday morning.
Mrs. Cofmon was a we'll educated
and devout Christian woman and her
husband minister. That he should
become mentally unbalanced and take
the life Of his faithful wife, with no
one near enough to protect her from
the attack Of the maniac, is pathetic in
the extreme and the sorrow that must
fill the heart OF his aged and blind
mother adds pathos to the tragedy.
