PASSED BAD CHECKS;
IS NOW IN TROUBLE
Civil Engineer, Known
Here, Arrested I'm Hunt
ingtOn.

Paul NJ. Eagan, who claims TO be a
civil engineer, was arrested at Hunting
ton last Saturday charged with passing
bad checks. Eagan came to Ceredo
about "A month ago and engaged board at
the home of III. l.. Stone He presented
the appearance of gentleman in every
respect and rapidly made friends.
However, his geGtlemanly instinct be.
gan TO fall several days ago when he was
arrested for uttering a worthless check
at the Big Sandy store of J. II. Gallo
way & Son This matter was finally
adjusted TO the satisfaction of all con.
cerned and Eagan was released. and
nothing more was thought of the sub
ject until his arrest last Saturday.
From reports received here it seems
that Eagan had passed forged checks
mt the places of John Farr and Fred
Weymouth at Huntington When the
forgeries were discovered the police were
notified and it was not long until Eagan
was placed behind the bars.
From letters found on him it is said
Eagan became involved in trouble at
Chattanooga, Tenn, and that he jump
ed his bond at that place.
The Huntington police say the man
has been passing himself off as a govern.
ment employe; but the only charge he
is now being held on is that of forgery.

Former Citizen of CeredO
Becomes DeSpOnd-
ent.

Covington, KY, Jan. S.-Willard p
Wears committed suicide in his room mt
6S w. Fifth street tonight by shooting
himself behind the right ear with 3S.
caliber Smith & Wesson revolver. He
had been working for an insurance com
pany in Louisville, KY, and had been
In Covington for about two weeks. He
did not leave any note as to why he had
ended his life, but financial troubles
are thought to have brought on despond-
ency.
Persons living in the house heard a
muffied report of the pistol, but paid no
attention TO it, thinking that the shot
was fired outside. At 8 o'clock when a
friend called to see him, he was found
dead. The bullet entered above the
right ear. entirely penetrating the head
and coming out near the left ear.

PITIFUL SCENE
AT THIS FUNERAL
Children Wanted to Climb
Into Coffin With Their
Father.

One OF the most pathetic stories
that have come TO light in this city
or vicinity in a long time, is
that connected with the death of
James III. Hanson of Harveytown,
and which occurred at Jeanette,
Pa, last week after an illness of
two days from the effects of pneu.
mona.
The wife and two children, at the
home in Harveytown, on the edge
of this city, knew nothing even of
the husbands and fathers illness
until they received a telegram an
nouncing his death, which had been
so very sudden and wholly unexpect-
ed.
When the body was brought home
and the casket was uncovered the
distracted wife threw her arms about
the neck of her husband and in the
agony of her great grief, almost
dragged the body from its coffin.
Members of the Eagles who cou-
Quoted the funeral, were forced to
take her away. The two little chill
dren, wee tots, not yet ola enough
to realize the great loss that had
come TO them, tried to Chamber into
the casket with their father, saying
they wanted to ego wiv papa -
There were many strong men pres
ent who witnessed that pitful scene
with the tears streaming down their
cheeks, through the heartfelt sym.
pathy for the wife and children. -

About half past ten O'Clock Las.
Monday night the much dreaded

north west corner of the brildiny.

the room we're troubled with smoke
during the entire day on Monday.
The loss was confined To three or
four rooms and will amount to
about $4,000, which is covered by
insurance.

at liberty TO say exactly when. The
Board of Education will have
meeting tonight and determine
what is best to do.

RECOMMENDATIONS

| am firmly convinced that the
Electric Light Plant could be more
economically conducted, and that
better service would be given if IT
were placed under the control OF
commission Of three persons, two
of whom should be practical bust
ness men. This could be done
without much additional expense,
by making the superintendent one
member, having one other mem
Der take charge of the field work
Something is radically wrong when
it takes two men a day to dig a
hole for an electric light pole
This condition, | believe, would
not exist if the plant were controll-
ed by commission.
This is not a criticism of any per
son or persons, but of a condition
which exists, not alone in the light
department, but in other depart
ments of the city.
l would abolish the base rate
method of charging for current,
and would make a straight charge
per k. w. H., with a discount if
paid before a certain date. But,
before changing the rate, it should
be determined, if possible, what
the current is costing the city and
then make the late as low as pos
sible.
