UTTERANCE.
Reveals Story of Corrupt
Ring Methods in Ka-
nawha Almost Be
yond Belief

Charleston, w. Va, Sept. 22.--The
Gazette OF this city, publishes the fol.
lowing story:
All you fellows here that are fight
ing this ticket and who have claims
before this court, need not expect tn
nave them allowed here. This court
VIII not allow the claims OF any peo.
pie who arc fighting it,"
Thus declared Judge Malcolm OF
the County court yesterday. I'm tho
county court room to n crowd OF men
who had gathered to present ito tho
court claims which had TO be ratified
by the County court before Il would
be possible for the claimants TO rea.
lize money on them. This is the most
rabid utennce ever openly made by
an officer OF court in Kanawha and
Is splendid indication OF the des-
peration with which the county ring
VIII fight To retain It's grip on the
county officers. The man ut whom the
remark was aimed directly. although
he was not directly addressed, was
Squire Peter Camp, of Clendenin.
Squire Camp who has been outspok-
en- in his antagonism to the corrupt
ring in Kanawha county, had n claim
against the county for tho sum of
$3.50, which sum represented the ex-
pense OF two insane people and two
other prisoners sent to Charleston by
Squire Camp In the performance OF
his duty as n justice Of the peace at
Clendenin. These claims were sworn
to by Squire Camp, and there was no
real reason for the refusal OF the
court to ratify the claim except the
fact that the County court has made
up It's mind that all the power of the
court shall be used to coerce the vot-
ers OF Kanawha into supporting the
corrupt crowd that at present occu-
pies the county Offices.
Square Camp came to Charleston
and appeared before the court last
Friday, and saw Judge Malcolm and
Judge Mottesheard, the present can
didate for reelection. and the central
which have aroused such indignation
in Kanawha county Squire Camp
presented his claim to Judge Notes
heard, who said that there could be
nothing done until the return OF Judge
Shepherd, who was out OF town. Judge
Mottesheard declared that tho claim
would bo "all right when Shepherd
signed tho order" Squire Camp
went to tho court Saturday morning
and the previous conversation was
virtually repeated Squire Camp re-
turned to his home In Clendenin and
came back TO Charleston Sunday even
ing. On Monday ne went to the
Court house and tho samo answer
and the same experience met him.
lie went To- the Court house again.
Tuesday morning, and thcro found
Judges Malcolm and Mottesheard.
Judge Malcolm there I'm the County
court room made the remark that
heads this story lIe declared that no
man who was lighting tho County
court might expect TO have any claims
recognized by the court. The remark
caused sensation among the people
who heard It, and upon being repeated
on the streets, II evoked many com
ments which censured the supposed
judicial body Of the county for the
brazen an dopen efforts TO compel the
support Of the people Of Kanawha
county.

POPULAR ". P.
OFFICIAL ADVANCED

T. J. Wyche, division engineer of
the Western Pacific railroad, with
headquarters at Winnemucca, succeed
ed Virgil Bogue as chief engineer on
January !, 1910. Wyche has been an
important member of the engineering
corps during the construction of the
new Gould line, having had charge of
the district west of Salt Lake City to
the California line.
Upon the transfer of the Western
Pacific line to the operating depart
ment, Bogue announced his intenti IN
Of going to New York. He is one of
the most eminent constructing engi.
neers in the country, and with numer-
Gus opportunities offered to undertake
the building of other large railroads
it was expected that he would leave
the Western Pacific. The appointment
of his successor has been expected for
some time.
Wyche is entirely familiar with the
new line. He has accompanied Bogue
on numerous inspection trips, and
moreover. some of the most difficult
pieces of construction have been on
this division. He is held in high re

BUT LITTLE STOCK
LOSS REPORTED

The prediction of the Indians, made
last fall, that this would be the most
severe winter for many years, is being
fulfilled with vengeance. Yesterday
morning, shortly before sunrise, Win
nemucca thermometers registered
minus IA degrees, while at the same
hour this morning the mercury drop
ped to 13 degrees below zero.
The heavy snowfall Of the latter part
Of the week was general throughout
the county. Commissioner Blattner re-
ports about 1S inches Of "the beauti-
full" in Paradise Valley, while at
Lovelock, according to Commissioner
Stoker, the fall amounted to about Ia
inches.
Considerable uneasiness has been
felt for the stock ON the ranges, but
thus far there has been but little loss
reported. Thomas Nelson yesterday
stated that unless there should be more
snow and the cold snap should continue
for a week or more there would be
slight loss of sheep. A. s. Evans,
president Of the Milpitas Land & Cat
tie company, who is in town today,
says that unleess weather conditions
become much more severe, cattle and
horses will suffer but slightly.
In the Lovelock valley there will be
no loss in any event, owing to the fact
that all stock is fed
However it is possible that the worst
is still to come. The weather indiea-
tions, supplied by the government
bureau, indicate that for the next "a
hours it will be fair and cold, which
means that the present cold snap will
continue for at least another day.
