James i. Blllups, who lives two
or three miles from Fort Gay, is
quite large buyer aud seller of
stock. A Collie dog is considered
an essential in this business, and
when Mr.. Billups lost his fine dog
about month ago he was very nat
urally anxious TO find il. So when
he learned that his Collie was at
Hubbardstown, some nine miles
down the riyer, he lost no time in
riding down TO get him. He found
dog there all right, one which
looked very much like the lost ami.
NAL, but 1T was not his. Being
struck with the appearance of tire
dog, however, and no one Offering
any objections, Billups decided to
take the dog home. lie tied rope
around the animals's neck, and
mounting his horse and leading the
dog he started up the road. The
dog seemed willing to go, but the
horse probably recognizing the fact
that the new Collie was not the one
which had so often aided IN the
driving, didn't seem to like the
brute, and frequently nipped at it.
Presently the dog resented this and
bit the horse on the nose.
So far there is nothing remarkable
in this story. But shortly after the
dog bad bitten the horse, and before
Mr.. Billups' house was reached, the
Collie died almost as suddenly as If
he had been shot.
Mr.. Billups, while regretting the
loss Of the animal, did not regard
the matter seriously and thought no
more of it until nearly a month af-
terward when the horse which had
been bitten was seized with convul-
sions. He says that never in his
life did he see an animal or anything
else suffer as that horse did. It's
muscles would be drawn almost into
knots and it would leap three or
ur feet from the ground, falling

The Board Of Public Works at
its regular meeting Wednesday
afternoon decided that the best
thing to do with Governor Daw-

knows as much if not mors about
the Virginia debt case than any
other man in West Virginia, the

nothing better than offer the lob
IA associate counsel to the former
chief executive and make the
condition that he devots his en-
tire time to the work.
The board communicated with
Gov. Dawson today and he ac-
cepted their offer, without much
parleying He will begin his
new work at once.
The last legislature appropriate
ed $50 600 for expenses in the
Virginia debt case, so there will
be no question about Governor
Dawson getting his salary. Gov

There is nothing in this supersti-

WILL OBSERVE MOTHERS DAY
The Governor Recommends That
SUNDAY, Mdu 9, BE Set Apart
For This Purpose.

Governor Glasscock has request
ed that all the churches in the
state observe Sunday, May 8, a.
"Mother's Day" and in the fol-
lowing staten mt cent out, he
states the purposes of the day.
81 desire to call the attention
of the good people of West Vir-
ginia to a custom that prevails in
several states as we'll as in many
parts of our own by dismissing
from your mind part of one day
in each year to pay tribute to tn,
noblest and best of Gods crea-
tures-our mothers.
''Is your mother dead2 Then
you should honor yourself aud
her memory by Diminishing from
your mind for one day all other
tEinge and devote the time to q
service and work that you know
would gladden. her heart and fill
her with JOY If che were with
you.
"Do you remember her mauy
acts of kindpess and self-sacri.
fceY Why not repeat them as
often as possible, and especially
on a day set apart for that pur.
pose?
ISIS your mother living2 Then
manifest your appreciation of
her devotion to you by doug for
one day in the year that which
she is so fond Of doing every day.
"While l have no authority of
law TO issue a proclamation set
ting apart a day Cor the purpose,
] request that Sunday, May 8,
1909, be observed by all the
churches of the state as Mothers
Day and that ali persons attend
church On that day and wear a
white carnation. 1t has been sug-
gested that the white carnation is
especially appropriate, because
"its whiteness stands for purity {;
its form, beauty; its fragrance,
love; its wide field of growth,
charity; lis lasting qualities,
faithfulness-all true mothers
virtues"
81 sincerely hope that all re-
ligious, social, traterral, civil,
military and other organizations
will pay homage to mothers by
attending servIces on Mothers
Day; tina! the churches prepare
an appropriate program for the
occasion; that special effort be
made to secure a large attendance
at these services; that special at
tention be paid to the poor Of the
community, and if necessary a
collection be taken for their
benefit; and above all do not for
get mother on Mothers Day.

Indictments Against Waune COunIu
PGCnlR.

The federal grand jury which had
been IN session since Tuesday of las,
week rendered its formal report at
two o'clock this afternoon, and al

the II iellty with whiah they had
discharged their duties, Judge Kel

The main interest of the session
ceotered in the investigation of tn.
Webb tragedy in which William
Vinson and Wiley Literal were
killed. Following this tragedy the
Wayne county grand jury returned
indictments against deputies o. the
United States marshal's office,
charging murder. These indic,.

Of the federal authorities of condi.

which Vinson ard Literal were
killed, and which formed the basi
Of the Wayne county indictments.
This investigation was carried on
at great length, more than forty
citizens Of the community being ex.
amined as witnesses in the course of
the hearing before the grand jury.
The developments were somew at
startling in their nature, and the
testimony adduced tended to show
that certain persons in the vicinity
OF Webb had banded together for
the purpose of resisting arrest. The
tinal result of this testimony was
the finding Of indictments against
Joe Vinson, William Vinson, Jr. :,
Paynter Vinson, Morgan Curry and
Joe Salmons, charging conspiracy
TO resist arrest and impede the prog.
ress OF Justice.
Some of the witnesses testified
that the Inen had banded together
under the name of the Knights Of
the Black Hand, and that they had
regularly constructed code Of sig.

MISS GOLDIE CANTRELL SUDDEN
LY DISAPPEARS
And Her Body is Thought
to Be Lying at Bottom
OF Ohio River.

Miss Goldie Cantreil, an orphan
giri Ut seventeen years, has mystt-
riously dlsapp ared and 1t il be.
lieved that her body li,s somewhere
at the bottom OF the Ohio river
NAV be near the Ceredo landing and
maybe near Cincinnati. No one
knows; no one can tell. Only the
All Seeing Eye knows.
The girl left the home Of her
aunt, Mrs. William Ramsey, on
West First street last. Thursday
evening and nothing has been
heard or seen of her since. The
telegraph and long distance te!e-
phone wires have failed TO relieve
the pangs of the heartbroken rela-
!ives. These failures of the min.
IONS Of news leads everyone To be.
lieve that the young girl has cast
herself into the flowing tide.
Miss Cantrell was student of
the Ceredo high scnool and was
said to be an adept pupil, always
being ready when called upon to
recite her lessons.
Upon returning from school Thurs.
day evening Miss Cantrcll remark
ed 10 her aunt that she desired to
finish school library book so that
it might be returned to the library
The next day. She went mp stairs
and Mrs. Ramsey thinking her
niece was reading left for the home
of "a sister to get milk. Upon re-
turning she saw note lying on
the stairs and was dumbfounded up.
on reading it. The epistle in
few words stated that the writer
thereof would be found in the
Ohio river. Mrs. Ramsey called
TO her neice, but upon receiving no
answer went 10 her room. This
was found to be vacant. Mrs.
Ramsey then went to the home of
her sister, Mrs. Fields, on East
Second street and informed her of
the matter. The two ladies secur-
ed a lantern and traced footprints
through the field to the river AS
the river was at good stage and
very rough, the pillows breaking
upon the shore washed the sand so
that it was impossible to tell
whether or not the girl had walk
ed into the water.
When interviewed Monday, Mrs
Ramsey stated she could not think
Why her niece should desire to de
stroy herself. She stated the girl
was in high spirits upon returning
from school and had nothing to
worry her mind. She had no
beaux, and no love affair is en-
twined in the case.
TIE parents of Miss CantreIl died
when she was eighteen months old
Mrs. Ramsey took charge of her
and raised the girl until she attain
ed the summit Of seventeen-ber
age when she disappeared.
The river will be dragged for the
girls body just as soon as the waters
recede little. 1t is thought it
would be useless 10 undertake
the task at the present stage, the
current beings 50 swift.
When she disappeared the girl
was dressed in black and wore on
her finger signet ring, with the
initials "G. c."
Mrs. Ramsey is distracted at the
disappearance Of her niece and has
scarcely eaten anything or slept any
since she went away.
The family moved to Ceredo
from Kentucky a few years ago.
The Kentucky relatives have been
communicated with but they state
the girl has not visited any of
them.
