The wheels passed all around him
and the fore part of the wagon over,
him, but, aside from a few bruises
and iolts received from the fall. he
was not injured in any particular.
The cause of the accident was /
defective snap on the names of one
harness, which gave way when the
horses threw themselves into the col
lars. The horse fell through the col
lar as the steel names pulled back
over his shoulders, and the young
man was jerked off the seat, being
unable or unwilling to eXtricate his
hands from the reins.
The accident occurred at the side
of the barn on Fifth street, between
Colorado and Ute, Just as they were
making the turn, and the wagon,
weighing $500 pounds, with the Dad
included, would undoubtedly have
crushed the life out of the young
man had the wheels passed over his
body
The team was gotten under con-
troll within a few minutes, and it
continued on its way to the fire,
leaving young Moss pretty badly
shaken up and naturally pretty much
| frightened at the station, to try to
solve the question of how he was
still alive.
The fire proved to be pile OF
| burning brush near the river, and
the railroad section gang had extin-
| guished the blaze before the arrival
of the department.

OGDEN led IN
OHIO COUNTY
FAIRMoNT MAN CARRIED BIG
PANHANDLE COUNTY q
YESTERDAY.

WHEELING, June 11.-In the first
battle of the Republican congressional
campaign, Ohio county was carried by
Howard N. Ogden, of Fairmont, yes
terday, Ogden receiving 1897 votes
as against 1890 for Charles E. Carri-
gan, OF Moundsvllle, and 24S for Rev.
Archibald Moore, of Warrington. og-
denis victory in Ohio county is due
principally to the big majority piled
up for him in the strong machine dis
trtcts of Washington and Clay.
The vote Of the. county was extreme
ly light, less than half the number of
voters going to the polls than cast
their ballots at the late senatorial pri-
maries. But 1886 voters we're out
yesterday, while G,29S cast their bal
lots for the head of the ticket on May
goth. The huge falling on is due
partly to the fact that but one office
was voted for, but the situation is gem
orally summed up by the party leaders
and influential politicians in the sins
pie statemnt "there was no Doodle
out"
AS previously stated, Washington
and Clay, the machine districts, we're
strong for Ogden. the former giving
him 419 votes as against GO for carrt.
gan, while Clay gave S69 for ogden as
against 90 for the Marshall county
man. Ogden also carried Center dis;
trict by thirteen votes, and Richland
by forty.six. carriEan was victorious
in Madison by III. in Union by 1s2, in
Webster by 30, in Richie by 20, while
he carried Liberty by IS. Moore and
Ogden receiving the same number OF
votes in that district

Big Claims Made
Ii Attempt to
Deceive

The claims OF the Fleming Powell
faction as to the number OF votes cast
yesterday and the actual number Of
votes cast are very dlNeernt. In Fai'
mont district after the count was ia
and 1t was known Just how few came
out to throw away their votes the
leaders of the gang added five hun
dred to the number Of votes and then
gave out figures for the various voting
precincts in the district. That this is
a fact is vouched for by one that was
present and knows the facts.
Several places men could not DO
found to hold the election and in M
place did the gang have full election
board. At West MonOngah they ap'
pointed a negro for a clerk and when
re would not serve an Italian. was
hired to work as an election clerk.
Had none but legal voters cast thelf
ballots yesterday the number could ba
counted in very short time. Foreign
ers, ,unnaturalfzed, Democrats and boys
made up most of the men that voted
yesterday.
The claim made by the gang in the
morning paper and the actual figures
of the votes cast are given below:

Jeffries and Johnson formed a cor

As this corporation would give
Johnson and Jeffries an equal voice
