WEDDING ENDS
IN A MURDER
Fatal Fight Engaged in by
Foreigners and Officers
at Thoburn.

Mthal Lazar, a; foreigner. employ
ed as coal miner at Enterprise, died
at Cooks hospital in Fairmont early
Sunday morning, from a gun-shot
would received in a fight at a we'd
ding celebration at Thobnrn Satur-
day night. Policeman j. o. Shaver,
of Monohgah. had a hand broken in
the fight, and Chief William Findlay
and half dozen foreigners received
bruises.
Shortly after 9 o'clock Sunday
morning Policemen Findlay and
Shaver appeared at the house for the
purpose, it is said. of warning occu-
pants not to be too noisy.
1t is alleged that a great many of
the people in the house were intoxi-
Gated and when the officers placed a
noisy man under arrest 1t acted as a
sign for a general fight to start. The
officers were forced out of the house
onto the porch and SO fierce was the
struggle that the porch collapsed.
About this time two shots rang out
and Lazar fell to the ground. The
shots and the sight OF the wounded
man was a signal for general scat
terment on the part of the foreign
ers, and all but three who were ar
rested got away. ~ SiHEFEEH
Lazar was carried into the house
and DR.. ]. A. Riedy was called to at
tend him. He was in a very serious
condition and DIR. Riedy decided that
the only hope for the man would be
an operation. When the hospital
was reached Lazar was beyond med
ical aid and his death came in few
hours.
Shaver needed the service Of d
physician but Flndlay had no hurts
serious enough to demand attention.
1t was at first reported that Find
lay had been compelled to use his
pistol in sell. defense, but Mr.. Findlay
in statement denied that he fired
any of the shots.

GEN. CURTIN CAUSES
NO ALARM BY TALK
In Taft and Other Circles at
the Capital of the
Nation.

WASHINGTON, d. C., May 25.-
General Curtin. called the lumber
king of West Virginia was given great
prominence in the Washington Her
aid yesterday.
Curtin talks for two columns IA
wiring Roosevelt's denomination. His
interview created some sensation, be-
cause he Is delegate to tn natldlal
convntion and instructed for Taft.
He insists that he was so instructed
because people thought Roosevelt
wanted Taft. Curtin sneers at the
Taft sentiment as artificial. and in
sists that Roosevelt is the real choice
of the Republicans. Curtin promises
to bolt Taft and vote for Roosevelt,
no matter what the rest of the delega-
ton does.
The Curtin talk gives secret joy to
those who fought the Endorsement of
Taft in West Virginia conventions.
but the Taft managers do not regard
it seriously tonight.
Senator Scott and Congressman
Hubbard read the Curtin effuslon last
night. Mr.. Hubbard laughed. aad
Senator Scott remarked he did not
think General Curtin would disregard
convention Instructions.

THE income of the Board was not
as large as we had hoped for and
planned for, at the beginning OF the
year. Although the receipts from
church collections and the women so
cleties and other sources amounted
to $3,553 more than last year, this
gain was more than oyer-balanced by
losses in other directions. The num-
.ber of churches that helped In any
way was 5,S15. a gain Of S13. and
the number that helped by congrega-
tional collections was 1870, a fain
OF 1S1. The number of Sunday
school contributing was 756, loss
of As; of young peoples societies
1,O71. a gain of 81.
"The total receipts from all sources
were $172,22, being $16,752 less
than last year.
THE amount for schools and
church work. gather expended on the
field, and reported to the Board, was
$124,7S7, the largest amount ever
reported before
"The extent OF the work is shown
by the following figures: Ministers,
24O; churches and missions, 3S1;
added on examination, 1.s42; added
on certificates, 1870; whole number,
23,7GS; Sunday schools, $40; schol-
ars. 2O,S32; schools, ia; teachers,
343; pupils, 1856.
Little or nothing has Transported
to hinder or disturb the quiet and
peaceful work of education and
evangelization as carried on by the
hundreds of Christian teachers and
ministers laboring under our care.
There is not now, that we know OF,
any serious trouble between the min
listers and teachers under our care.
and the good white people. In any
of the numerous places in which they
are doing their work. 1t is our
earnest desire that this shall always
be the case"

YEGGMAN IS
TO Be TRIED
By Judge Dayton at PhiIippi
for Robbing the
Mails.

United States Marshal q. D. Ell
ltott and deputies will take James A.
Baker, yeggman, from the county
jail here this evening to Philippi,
where he viii be tried before Judge
A. G. Dayton this week for tamper-
ing with the United States mails.
Fuzzy Rugan, held as a witness, will
be taken with him to Philippi. Baker
is the self-confessed slayer OF oper-
ator Edward Y. Hutchinson at We'll
come Station the night OF December
2s last.
Developments in the Baker case
are coming thick and fast as the date
for the opening of the hearing ap-
proaches. 1t was learned from court
officials that the young Pittsburg
girl. for whose sake Baker is said 10
have admitted his series of crimes,
and whose name or family connec-
tions had been made known by the
authorities, will be one OF the first
witnesses to testify as to the past
life OF Baker and her relations with
him during their acQuaintanceship.
This dated from the beginning of
Bakers real criminal career. The
young woman is said to be quite
prominent in Pittsburg, and her con-
nection with the case will naturally
create great sensaticnl.
One Of the reasons given for the
fear that Baker may attempt to end
his life is statement that he made
before his hearing before Commits
sioner Shields, of New York, was set,
that they. might cau me thug and
a murderer. but won't suffer for it."
On another occasion he is said to
have remarked that they may punish
him for murder, but he Is not guilty.
II appreciate the kindness that Mr..
'Rigor and Postoffice Inspector Kin
caid have shown me. am sorry that
my career has been as 1t has. / am
sorry that should have ever been
born to be this disgrace to myself,
but before God shall not wear
prison stripes NOR shall the old par
ents of mine know that their son has
been accused of this
This, statement was made by
Baker during his confinement In the
Tombs' prison. in New York city,
where he was incarcerated after his
arrest by Detective Rigor and Inspec-
tor Kincaid. His resolute disposition
and display OF encouragement over
his past life indicates that he will
make an attempt to carry out his
threat.
Government officials in this dis
trlct have issued orders that he be
carefully guarded night and day un-
til the close of his trial. He is with
out money or friendly aid, other than
that he has won since his arrest In
New York city. He admits that his
father is wealthy hut persistently re-
fuses to disclose the Identity OF his
relatives or give a hint to the offic-
ials that would lead to their location.
