ISam CTabtee Under Arrest.

Sam Crabtree, whose local repu-
tation is of the malodorous variety,
and whose many escapades have Of
ten led him into all sorts of trouble,
is again in the meshes of the law.
The Catlettsburg Tribune tells the
following of his latest-not last
engagement:
Sam Crabtree, who is reputed as
being one of the most interesting
characters with whom the police in
this section has had to do for some
time, is now in the tolls again and
IL reports be correct Samuel is
likely to have whole lot of trouble
persuading the courts of West Vir-
ginia to believe that he is proper
and fit subject to be permitted to
run at large.
Yesterday evening he was before
the local police court here, under a
charge of having been one of trio
who had purloined an overcoat from
one of the guests Of the York House
His alleged companions in the trans
action being one Robert Blackwell
who gave his residence as Pittsburg
and Alex Wilson. who claimed e
hail from Lexington. 3sa

making the arrest of Crabtree and
Blackwell but the Lexingtonian sue
ceeded in making a safe getaway.
Crabtree's case was before Judge
Mcconnell and the evidence was
such that the court dismissed him.
Scarcely had he gotten from be-
meath the shadows of the police
court when a bystander called at
tention to the fact that Crabtree
answered the description of a man
for whom the Huntington police de-
partment was looking and whose
description they had sent out all
over the country.
Immediately the officers followed
the man and placed him under ar
rest a second time. A telephone
message was sent to Huntington
and soon Chief Robinson and other
witnesses were here and there seem
ed to be no difficulty in their iden-
tifying Crabtree as one OF the men
who stands accused of having held
up and robbed man in that city
few nights ago. He was turned
over to Chief Robinson and he APP
peared willing to return to West
Virginia without requisition from
the governor and the officers left
for Huntington on a street car with
the prisoner.

OIL we'll drilled IN
Well No. 3 Near Louisa Being CON-
pleted as We Go to Press.

About the time the NEWS went
to press Gone O'Clock Thursday
the drilling of the oil we'll on Wm
0'Brien's farm on Three Mile had
reached the depth at which it has
been estimated the Berea grit
should be found. This is the for
nation in which oil is expected to
be found, if at all, Some of the
stockholders were expected to ar
rive on the N. & w. train at two
O'Clock p. m, and drive to the well
to be present while the drilling
through the grit is being done. I'm
less something should happen to
delay the work the drilling will be
completed within few hours.
Considerable interest is manifest
ed throughout this section and the
result is anxiously awaited by the
public, as it will be an important in
dex to the field.
A fine record has been made as
to time. 1t has been only about 80
days since the machinery was load
ed in West Virginia for shipment
to this location. The actual drill
ing of the we'll 100 feet deep has
required only 20 days.

Willie wallen, OF Floyd county,

Kennison, was called for, and he
spoke for several minutes in a very
pleasing and interesting way. Good
speakers seem TO be as plentiful In

AS fitting finale to a most in
teresting occasion Prof. Kennison
called upon the college president,
Prof w. NJ. Bylngton. to say few
words. Prof. Byington does not use
many words nor consume much time
in telling his story, but what he
says is as full OF good things as an
egg is OF meat. He told OF his lab
ors during what was vacation forh
many, Of his rides into the enemy's
country where he gained a pupil for
nearly every mile travelled, and OF
his hopes and the prospects for this
session. He told OF what he want

wanted them to conduct themselves,

students must act as he desired

Facts About Our College.

The Kentucky Normal College,
the pride and boast of this section
of the State, is now fully entered
upon its winter term. Its prospects
were never brighter. 1t has long
since passed the experiment stage.
All doubts of its success have van
ished, and now in the flush and
glory of its lusty young strength, it
has taken its proper place in the
front rank of the best educational
institutions of the land. Its open
doors invite the student to fac
ulty and to a curriculum as good
and as complete as any in the land,
and the NEWS, its earnest, stead
fast friend, is glad to tell the pleas
ing fact that hundreds of knowledge
seeking young men and women have
accepted the invitation and are
thronging its corridors and its class
rooms, eager to obtain that of which
no man can rob them-a good edu-
cation.
1t is safe to say that during the
present month at least two hundred.
probably more, new students viii be
enrolled in the Kentucky Normal
College. One day over a hundred
pupils arrived, and they have come
by every succeeding train. Many OF
the country schools in the valley
have not yet finished their terms.

pills as we'll as their teachers will

A BORROWING STRANGER.


A young fellow giving his name
as II. C. Steinmetz attracted con-
siderable attention in Louisa Tues
day and Wednesday OF this week.
He claimed to hail from Point
Pleasant, W. Va.
He succeeded in borrowing small
sums OF money from several per-
sons here on Tuesday, claiming that
he had lost his pocket book and
needed enough to pay his fare TO
Point Pleasant. At intervals all
through the day he was visiting the
banks and having transactions that
showed he had several times the
amount of money needed to pay his
fare to Point Pleasant.
He seemed to have a fondness
for professional men, as his victims
were lawyers, doctors and ministers.
On Wednesday about noon some OF
the victims tumbled to the fellows
game and went after him. He put
up a brazen and impudent defense,
but escaped to West Virginia. They
followed him and we're in the act
of procuring a warrant when he
weakened and refunded the money
After settling all accounts, so far
as We have heard, he evidently had
plenty of money left. No prosecu.
ton was attempted and he departed
on the c. & o. train Wednesday
evening.
