dency the prices OF lead and spelter have
shown further Improvement The ad-

been so rapid that 1t is rather a relief

The readjustment in the zinc industry

warrants have played their part in the
work. of getting things down to legiti-

has been a strong bear party at work

FINE RECORD OF WEST
VIRGINIA OPERATORS

In one respect the record of West Vir-
glnias coal production in 1911 stands out
as a shining light-that is. in the excep-
tionally low percentage of coal shot Off
the solid. The returns 10 the geological
survey show that practically g6 per cent
or the output was properly mined, either
by hand or by the use OF machines; for
2,o29,S0o tons the mining methods in
practice were not reported and the
amount shot OFF the solid was only 626-
295 short tons. or u little more than one
per cent. This is a record of which the
miners. the operators. and the mine in

charge of numbering Orin Baker,
Richland county horse buyer, is not
mentally responsible for his conduct,
is the declaration Of George Hofstet.
ter of Marion. an uncle OF the young
man.
Parsel was brought up by. the Hof.
stetter family, attending school in
Marion, and It was at this time that
members Of the family noticed that
the boys mind was somewhat affect.
ed, and 1t is supposed to nave been
brought on by tubercular trouble. Par.
sci said he was walking from Shelby
when> he claimed to find the buggy.
Parsel had not been heard from for
over year, and his whereabouts
were unknown. II is doubted If he
was in Cleveland Tuesday, as was
stated, for in his story he said he had
been In Marion, but none of his rela-
tives or friends saw him there. The
reason that his story is disconnected
ana varies at times Is thought to be
due to his weakness of mind. He was
taken TO the county Jail at Bucyrus
after he had waived examination at
Crestline, and was bound over to
grand jury on the charge of first de-
gree murder.
This Is the frs. serious trouble that
Parsel ever got into and II came as a
great shock to the HOfstetter family
At this time 1t Is not known whether
the family will take an active part in
the trial by defending him, but they
will do all possible to see that he Is
have him examined as to his sanity.
Strong evidence is being worked up
against Parsel. Miss Kuebler, a sis
ter of the Rev. j. f. Kuebler, pastor Of
the Catholic church at the Shelby set
tlement, and at whose home Parsel
telephoned for the police claimed that
she saw Parsel go around the house
before asking to telephone. When a
search was made revolver was
found about $500 feet from the spot
where Baker was found dead In his
buggy. It was a new. gun of 32 cali
ber, blue steel, with two shots fired.
The family of George Mines, who
lives several rods from the place Bak-
er was found, stated they heard a
shot and thought someone was shoot
ing rabbits.
