SERVICE
IS NOT GIVEN
When Sought by Residents for
Removal of a Drunken
Intruder.

n. II. Williams and DR.. c. W. Halter
man and families had experiences at
their homes on Clay street Monday
night quito disagreeable and they are
Justly Indignant over the lack of police
protection.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Williams arrived
home at 1906 o'clock from the chau-
tauqua session they found drunken
man lying on their front porch snoring.
AS the children had been left at home.
Mrs. Williams became alarmed fearing
that he might have harmed them. They
went III a side door and Mr. Williams
called UP the police station, but re-
peated rings brought no response from
the station. The fellow laid there until
a hard shower OF rain aroused him and
then he moved TO DIR. Halterman's porch
and frightened Mrs. TIalterman: The
Waldo was called by telephone and a
policeman Is believed to have answered
but none put in an appearance.
Finally, Messrs. Williams and Halter
man decided they would take him to the
city prison themselves and lock him up.
They did this by half carrying and half
dragging him and It was past midnight
The absence Of some one Mt the police
station to answer such calls deserves
severcst censure and Is ts,rtainly very
Objectionable feature of the police do
Dartmcnt and the lack of police reguia
tion as shown In this instance shows the
failure of the department in rendering a.

SWISHER RIGHT
IN PREDICTION
That He viii Garry State by
25,000 Votes Says Mr..
BroomaIl.

G. c. Broomall. of Belington, vice.
president and general manager OF tho
North American Steel Company, was n
prominent visitor In the city Monday
evening looking after business matters.
Charles W. swIsli4r is winning popu-
lar. favor to considerable extent in
Barbour county," said Mr.. Broomall to
a Telegram man, and all OF the true
blue Republicans there are lining up for
the regular Republican ticket. All. OF
the county candidates of Barbour have
made the open declaration that they Will
stick to the regular Republican ticket
and they say they would rather 20 down
to defeat on the regular ticket than to
permit thcir names to go on the Scherr
boiling Ticket, or have any Affiliations
with that crowd whatever
Speaking generally" continued Mr..
Broomall. the political situation has
every Indication that Charles w. Swisher
will be triumphantly elected this Fall.
II these boilers stick to the scherr tick
ct. that will mean a loss Of Just that
many votes from the Democratic ticket.
because all OF those soreheads voted the
Democratic ticket against Dawson four
years ago anyway. Mr.. Swisher is not
far out of the way when he says ne will
be elected by $4,000 votes"
