city said:
The visiting Knights Tcmplars
have mostly departed for their
homes except those who will partic-
ipate I'm the ceremonies Of the Mys-
tic Shrine this afternoon and even
ing. The grand commandery CON
cluded its work this forenoon. It is
agreed that IT was, all the way
through, the most successful con-
clave ever held I'm the state since
the grand commandery Of West Vir-
ginia was organized. The attend
.ance was larger than at any previ-
Gus conclaye, the weather was pro-
pitious and Just right" the enthu-
siasm was universal, the city was
dressed in gala attire, hospitality
was far reaching and excluded aone.
10 seemed that everything contrib
tuted to the success Of the occasion,
and It was great success. Parkers-
burg is glad they came and hopes
they may come again. The magnih-
cent parade OF more than one thou
sand plumed knights led by a doz-
en- bands was a demonstration the
like OF which was never before seen
in our city.

Charleston. w. Va. May az
Two Italians working on the con
lstruction or the Deepwater railroad
three miles from Mullins. near the
Raleigh-Wyoming county line on the
Guyan river, were recently blown to
pieces while exploding dynamite In
the river for the purpose OF killing
fish.
Deputy United States Marshall
Dan w. Cunningham. who has lately
returned from this section. stated
yesterday that In spite OF the best
efforts OF Justice Jack Mullins at
the town OF Mullins, the negroes
and foreigners employed in the con-
struction OF the railroad ut that
point are killing out the Ash In the
upper Guyan by dynamiting.
Particularly on Sundays said
Marshall Cunningham, 81 was told,
they go out in gangs to every deep
hole In the vicinity and XIII great
quantities of fish In the most UNI
sportsmanlike and unlawful manner,
boldly and with little secrecy. They
also roam the nearby woods killing
every kind OF game and song birds,
whether In the nesting season or
not. without ever being molested,
so far az can be found out, by any
OF the game wardens."
There has been some discussion,
recently among sportsmen and state
officers as to whether the unnatural
lied foreigner has any right TO carry
a gun for the purpose OF hunting at
all or not.
When asked as to the truth of the
report that the Bmestone river had
become so polluted In Mcdowell and
Mercer counties by the coal mines
that the fish have been nearly exter-
minated, Deputy Cunningham stated
that the BluestoEo river which was
a few years ago clear as n crystal
and one OF the best fish streams In
the state Is now so strongly polluted
and the water so dirty that few, II
any, FISH can live In It,
Does the state game warden
know OF this condition" a newspa-
per man queried.
II have written repeatedly myself
but never received an answer" was
the reply.

evident from the fact that he has
been engaged in numerous enterpris-
es since going away. Down In the
City OF Mexico he was in the auto

met with considerable success in
that venture. In the course OF his
operations he is also given credit
with having invented a watch said

tionally clever individual.
