Murder in Huntington

The following account of murder
at Huntington appeared in the issue
of the Bridgeport Farmer OF March II,
1919. 1t is the nearest to local matter
which appeared in the Farmer for
many weeks. Newspapers in 1919 paid
little attention to local affairs. The
grave matters of state. Opin OnS and
criticisms filled the columns to the ex-
clusion Of what is now termed pure
news. The account of the murder
mentioned reads strangely to those ac
customed to the picture stories of the
newspaper to-day. It reads: Murder.
der was committed near the store of
Leavenwort & Seeley in Huntington.
by one John Beers on the body of Mr..
Phineas Taylor. The circumstances at
tending this melancholy transaction.
near as can be ascertained. as as fol-
lows: 1t appears that the parties had
been drinking together just before the
murder was committed. Taylor had
called for some liquor and after drink
ing handed it to Beers. who having
drank part of it. threw the remainder
into the fire At this Taylor was much
displeased. and declared he would have
recompense for the liquor. even if he
shed his blood for it. Beers upon this
offered to call for more liquor but this
did not satisfy Taylor. The parties
then went out the door. when Taylor
attempted to clinch Beers. who. how
ever, threw Taylor down. and then ran
pursued by Taylor. After they had
ran about 40 rods Beers pulled stake
out of a sled. and turning round. told
Taylor that if he pursued him any fur
Their, he would knock his brains out.
Beers then advanced several rods to-
wards Taylor. and struck him on his
head with the stake. Taylor fell life
less and was taken up for dead: he
was taken into the house adjacent.
where he survived about three days.
Beers watched with him the first
night. but soon after absconded.''
In the same newspaper appears the
following advertisement Advertise

And Scores Of Bridges Are
Now Believed to Be in
Great Danger.
DYNAMITE IS BEING USED
TRAFFIC ON THE RIVER HAS
BEEN SHUT OFF AND COAL oP-
ORATORS ARE BUSY MAKING
DEMANDS FOR CARS.

Pittsburg, Penn, Dec. 29-Scores
OF bridges spanning the Ohio River
here and at points along West Virgin
ia and Ohio are being closely watched
which are piled high against the
abutments, and 1t is feared that sew
eral will be carried away.
River traffic has been entirely aban-
doned. In some sections dynamite is
being used on the gorges in the hope
Of saving the structures. Surround
ing territory is flooded.
An estimated 100000 bushels Of
coal has been diverted from its usual
river transportation to Southern
points, and cars are being requested
from railroads by coal operators to
offset the delay before coal fleets
can be moved down the Ohio.
At Pittsburg river navigation ceased
on Christmas Day. A packet from
Wheeling managed to get into the
harbor by beating her way through
ice foes for miles.
Collapse Of Bridges Feared.
Yesterday the situation became
worry to the owners of the two
bridges that span the Ohio here. The
Pennsylvania connecting bridge piers
were piled high with ice chunks five
feet square.
The Point bridge. while not in dan
ger of collapse. is in poor condition to
withstand an ice gorge long. as it is
not completed, and the pier abut-
ments are fresh laid and liable to give
way.
Packet stations below Pittsburg re-
port unprecedented ice gorges. At
East Liverpool, Ohio, ice has damned
against the stone abutments of the
old county wooden bridge and the au-
thorities are arranging to break the
pack with dynamite.
At Steubenville, Ohio. the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad cantilever bridge in
course Of construction is being watch
ed day and night.
At Wheeling, w. Va. precautions
have been taken to avoid loss of
property along the water front where
many packets and empty coal fleets
lie tied up.
From Wheeling to New Martins
willie, w. Va. 35 miles. solid sheet Of
ice marks the course of the Ohio riv-
er. Weather conditions at all points
do not indicate any marked change
in the weather.
Ferry Passengers Caught.
The heaviest ice gorge in the Ohio
River formed at Sliding Hill. % miles
above Gallipolis, last night.
The Great Kanawha river is gorged
to the bottom for many miles. and
coal operators and steamboat owners
who have nearly one million dollars
worth of property harbored in the
mouth of the river. fear great dam
age when the ice moves out.
Sixty passengers. So of them wom-

ferry boat Charon. from Bellaire. O.,
to Benwood, w. Va, which became
caught in an ice gorge in the Ohio riv.
err at s o'clock Monday night and
floundered around until a. m yester.
day.
All were landed in small boats at
daylight without injury. Fear that
the ferry boat would sink caused pan
ic-stricken women to offer up prayers
and the cries of small children made
the night extremely uncomfortable
and exciting.
