CUTTING SCRAPE
BERT BECK GOES AFTER NELSON HOL
LAND WITH KNIFE.

Bert Beck was arrested at Point
Pleasant Saturday for an alleged of
fense committed at Kanauga, and
held until Sheriff Jones went up and
got hin and landed him in Jail. Here
he lay unit! one o'clocEStoday when
he had his hearing before Justice

Bert Beck, ]. H. McMartin, Capt.
Hanes, Engineer White and others
we're on the ferryboat plying between
Point Pleasant and Kanauga Sat-
urday afternoon about 4 o'clock, and
were coming to, this side. Beck had
come on board apparently drunk and
in bad humor and had an open knife
in his hand when he came on the
boat. An alteration took place over
his fare of ten certs, with him and
the officers ofthe boat into which Mr..
Holland was drawn and being afraid
of Beck with his open knife he struck
at him and Beck would have struck
back at him with his knife, but Capt.
Hanes and Engineer White prevent
ed him, and on the boat landing on
this side Holland tried to get home
and get out of the unpleasantness.
He was the first going up the hill,
Martin next and Beck behind. Com
ing up to Martin he commanded him
to stand aside. Martin did so, but
seeing Beck was angry and that he
had the open knife in his hand told
Holland to look out that Beck was
going to cut him.
Holland tried to grab picket of
the fense or to get hold ofs some thing
to stand Beck of with, him but see
ing that he couldn't broke into run
for home. Beck pursued him till Hol-
land fell exhausted, when Beck over
took him, kicked him and struck him
while he was down and cut him bad
ly wiki his knife in one of his legs.
Holland begged him for his life and
he desisted and then went after Mar
tin, followed him into Deems store
and through the store into the back
part of the building when Mrs. Deen
ordered him out. Beck accused Mar
tin of telephoning for Gallipolis cops
He turned then and went to the fer
ryboat and crossed to Point Pleasant
where an arrest was made and JUS
tlce Dunn bound him over to the
grand jury in the sum of $500 which
he could not give. In the meantime
Beck swears out warrant for Hol-
land for an assault with intent to
kill him on the boat and it was to be
heard before Justice cromley this
afternoon.

nice man and used to be here with

Shafer, who covered the mound for

work throughout the game, that he
is good man and one that may be
relied on to make good showing a.
gainst any of the teams in the vir-
ginia Valley class. He famed seven
of the locals, but Stanley made
twelve of them hit the wind. Each
allowed five men to go to first on balls
and two of those passed by Stanley
scored while another hit by the local
slab man made the other score mark
ed up to the credit of the visitors.
The strong and steady whip of
Hunter, the visiting catcher, was tie
subject of much favorable comment
from the spectators. He can toss the
sphere to second with the precision of
well-aimed bullet, and is quick to
throw to the other bases to nab the
runners who get careless and play too
far of.
The Statesmen took the game,
The score was FIVE to three. The
Point Pleasant GalIipolis team had
the losing end of the situation, but
showed that it is comprised of good
players and together with a little
good luck, will make them foes
worthy of try with any of the teams
in the league.-Charleston Gazette.

might be so, but it is only small part of
the work to carry the sweet messengers
