HERE ON JULY FOURTH TO
WITNESS THE FIRST RUNNlNG
MEETING IN THE STATE.

AGENTS ARE AT LAToNlA AND
PIMLIco TRACKS TO GET BEST
FROM THOSE PLACES FOR Lo-
CAL PROGRAMME.

Lovers OF races from the section sur
rounding Fairmont will gather at this
place on the Fourth OF July to witness
the first running meeting ever held
in the State. Patrons Of the Fairmont
track hayes hown in such a decided
manner that they prefer the runners
to the harness horses that the officials
have decided upon a typical running
meeting. The same care is being TAX
en- to secure good horses for the
events on the Fourth as has been
shown in the past to get horses for
the fall fair and the early meetings
and the result will be that there will
be large fields Of classy horses in each
of the five events advertised for the
day.
An agent Of the association is at the
Latonia track, near Cincinnati this
week gathering up a carload or so OF
thoroughbreds for the Fairmont meet
while another is in Baltimore getting
horses there. The fact that the asso-
citation has to pay express on these
horses both ways shows the limit 1t is
going to get good entertainment for
Its patrons on the Fourth.
The programme will be arranged to
suit the horses entered but it is safe
to predict that there will be events for
all ages and kinds of horses ranging
from the five-eight mile dashers for
the sprinters and the three-quarter
mile runs for three year olds up to a
mile and sixteenth race for the dis.
tance goers. AS there will be from five
10 ten horses in each event, the races
will be most interesting. A profes-
sional running horse starter will be
secured and the privileges will be in
the hands of an experienced man.
Besides the runners there will be a
mule race for animals from the mining
region and one harness race. Good
music has been contracted for and
the people of Fairmont are looking
forward to a big crowd and fine enter
talnment.

Probably never in the history Of Ma

accidents to occur in Fairmont prop.

during the past ten days.
There have not only been accidents
but many other violent deaths other
than accidents, such as suicides, etc,
while there have been a number Of
persons in this county to become IN.

few Of whom are now lying in hos

There has not been a day since this
time last week that one or more vle-

Falrmont.
1t has been a general remark about
the streets that the many deaths
from these causes is unusual in this
place.
According to press reports there
seems to be wave crime in nearly
every large city in the United States,
and which wave seems 10 have struck

during the, past ten days there have
been all kinds of crimes pulled off IN

to be still going on. Farmont has not
been hit by wave crime but by a

this section of the State for many

ABOUT FACE AND BODY.

Another gas explosion occurred in
the First ward and as result Mrs.

painfully buncd about the arms, face
and her hair was badly scorched
when gas let go in her kitchen in the
City Apartment building, First ward,
last evening at 7:45 o'clock.
The Morrow family was living on
the fourth floor OF the apartment and
in preparing to remove from the
building to Water street Mr.. Morrow
had disconnected the kitchen stove and
was, placing a plug in the pipe when
the explosion occurred. 1t is said
that there were no lights or fires
burning on the fourth floor at the
time and It is probable that the escap-
ing gas was Ignited from 4 hall light.
Dr. William Boyers, who has an Of
fice across the street, hearing the OK
plosion, hastened into the house and
with a fire extinguisher taken from
the wall he quickly put out the blaze,
but in the meantime an alarm had
been sent in for the fire department,
which quickly responded but upon
their arrival the flames had been cx-
tinguished. The building was not
damaged by the explosion.

PROFESSIONAL MOTOR CYCLE
RACES WILL BE GREAT AT.
TRACTION AT THE COMING
SPEED MEETING.

One Of the attractions at the race
meeting to be held here on the Fourth
OF July will be the motor cycle races.
There never has been an event OF that
kind ever offered to the people Of this
place and it is thought that the event
arranged for will be one OF the most
satisfactory numbers on the program.
w. w. Ours, OF Clarksburg, was
here last night and he with Secretary
John s. Scott arranged for the cycle
races. A purse of fifty dollars is Of
fered for the professional race of ten
miles, which is going around the
track twenty times. Mr. Ours claims
that the professionals will on the
local track be able to make more than
sixty miles per hour. The profes-
sional race will take eight or nine
minutes to decide. There will be at
least two professionals and likely
three to start and compete for the
purse Of fifty dollars.
The free-tor-aIl race Is open to all
single cylinde machines and there will
be a good field for this event. There
will be no less than four starters.
This is FIVE mile race for purse
Of $500. 1t is likely that there will
be some local cyclists in the free for
all race.
In the free-for.all raco the contest
ants will start from the wire. The
professionals will be given a running

to the home of Dan Whittenberg, who
it is alleged, had given lodging to the
revenue officers. The outlaws entered
his house at 2 a. M, took Whitten-
berg away from his wife and chill
dren and carrying him out in his own
yard. almost whipped him to death.
Only a day or so before this Slate
Morris, of the same vicinity, who had
given lodging to the officers, was shot
from ambush while blowing in the
field. Part of load of buckshot en-
tered his body, one striking him in
the face.
Before arriving at the home of Whit
tenberg the night riders visited his
father. Pete Whittenberg, and threat
ened him. While they were beating
him, Whittenberg recognized the en-.
tire band, some of them by their
voices. others by their horses. When
he had sufficiently recovered from his
terrible experience. Whittenberg
swore out warrants against the eight
suspects When the case was called
for trial Whittenberg failed to ap-
pear and it was alleged that he had
been threatened by the night riders,
so the cases were dismissed, but the
criminal court, which meets in Octo-
ber, will investigate the matter thor
oughly.
