BUCKHANNON. w. Va. September
Ca. II. knight of Davidson, w. Va.
reports an attempt to poison his cattle.
While out on his farm saving wood, he
found a nubbin of corn with strychnine
stuffed down in the pith, and the end
filed UP with mud. 1t was placed in the
pasture field where the COWS grazed. Mr..
knight had the poison analysed, and it
proved to be strychnine sulphate. If a
COW had eaten it the whole family might
have been poisoned through the milk.
One person is strongly suspected.

Of Bates 1O-yard line the Crimson eleven
damned the ball across the line, with
Wendell, one of the star backs of last

came from a beautiful goal from the

considerably to the progress of the Har-

double its normal weekly bookings.
The greater portion of the material
sold consisted of rails and track fasten-
ings. but structural shapes, plates. and
bars figured in the tonnage to quito

of the business thus taken was for ex-
port.
