STRANGE CASE
AT Rigley, This State, is Puz-
cling the Attending
Doctors.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Feb. 10
Daisy Leblanc, aged %, daughter
OF John H. Leblanc, Of Rigeley, w.
va. is reported dying al the home
OF her s.ter, Mrs. E. NJ. Hdber, here.
February II, she fell down a stair
way, striking her head and has
since been in a state of coma. She
had been in the habit of going
where she pleased in safety.
While unconscious she is subject
to suggestion but along the wrong
lines. When DR.. j. L. Simmons
mentioned the fact that there was a
slight injury to her arm it imnedi-
ately became bent and rigid, and all
efforts to right 1t have failed, though
when her good arm is held and her
face or nose is tickled, she uses the
affected arm to brush the hand of
thelpersons away and then the arm
resumes Its rigid state.
Her mind seems to absorb readily
anything that might retard her re-
storation to health, She lost her
sight when ten years old. in fall
at Nartinsburg, W. Va, where the
family then lived.
A strange feature is that her eyes
have apparently had partial sight re-
stored to them by the last fall. The
balls dilate or contract as light is
placed near or taken from her face.
She is an expert typewriter and has
been contributor to local newspa-
pers.

On An Extensive Scale III
the State Of West
Virginia.

WASHINGTON, D. &C., Feb. 13-
West Virginia may become an i'm
portant producer of fertilizer ingre-
dents, such as nitrates and potash,
At the present time practically all
the nitrates used in commercial fer.
til!zers come from Chile and all the
potash from Germany. The value
of these TWO imports for use in the
manufacture of fertilizers alone Is
placed at s8,OO0,O0O year. Bll
the worst part or it is that the
farms of the United States are de-
pendent upon foreign nations for
their fertilizers. At the present
time there is more or less strained
feelings between this country and
Germany on account OF the potash
business and it is feared that al
some time serious trouble might oc-
cur because OF this country's need OF
what Germany now has monopoly
in selling.
The agricultural appropriation
bill now pending in Congress con,
tains provision, unanimously
adopted, that the secretary of agrI.
culture shall make an investigation
OF the probable sources of supply II
the United States of potash, nitrates
and other natural Fertilizers, at {
cost not to exceed $1l2,5Oo.
Yves Virginia will doubtless be in

investigation Is to be made. Miltor

STORE BURGLARY
Lads Crawl through Transom
and Steal Cash and
Small Articles.

ing on a clue.
Entrance was gained by breaking
open transom over the rear door
and crawling through it. After the
thieves helped themselves to the
money they left the place by turning
the key in the lock Of the rear door
and walking through the door.
New clothing on their persons and
an unusual supply Of money in the
possession Of Ralph Wigner, aged
10, and Clarence Everhart, aged 10,
aroused the suspicion Of Policemen
George Isenhart and London White
Monday morning and the boys were
arrested in Third street and taken
to Jail On being placed in cell
they confessed to committing the
burglary.
Ralph had $2S.41 in his pockets
and Clarence $1.O1. Each was
wearing new coat and hat, new
pairs of gloves and one of them
new pair of boots. They said an
other boy who helped them carry
out the burglary, had more than
$50 in his possession when they last
saw him. His name was given and
policemen are looking for him. The
boys also had in their possession a
few knives and other articles that
were taken from the store.
Clarence is son OF Emory Ever
hart. a railroad employe, who re-
sides in the Reynolds addition, and
Ralph is a son OF lDevore Wigner,
an employee of the Standard Milling
Company, who lives in the same adj
ditIon. The young prisoners will
likely be tried before a justice of
the peace and probably sent to the
reform school for boys at Prunty-
town.
Later on the younger boy broke
down in tears and said the two of
them were the only ones who COM
mttted the burglary, After they left
the store they went to Fairmont on
an interurban trolley car and spent
money right and left.

DilIory, who is a bartender. claims
that Fox stabbed him three times with
a pocketknife last Friday night. He
asserts that he was also attacked BIZ
