COUNTY OFFICIALS
WERE INDICTED
Members of Cabell County Court
Charged With Having Accepted
Brides.

Huntington. w. Va, Aug. 23--In-
dictments were returned by the
Wayne county grand jury yesterday
against w. b. Smith, formerly of the
Wayne county court, and John r. Os-
borne, one of the members of the
court. The indictments charge Smith
and Osborne with having accepted
brides.
Both members of the court tender
ed their designations a few days ago.
following the institution of impeach-
ment proceedings against them 1t
was thought that the designations
would prevent any attempt at crimi-
nal proceedings, and the finding of the
indictments caused distinct surprise
Among the allegations made against
the members of the court is that they
purchased $4,000 worth of bridge ma
terial from Terra Haute, Ind, bridge
company when the county had no need
for the bridges, or had made no pro-
vision in the levy for the payment of
this money, the latter constituting a
violation of the State law. .
Osborne is alleged to have hired
men to work on roads, and that after
doing few days work on the roads
they were transferred to his farm,
and the county would issue vouchers
in payment for this road" work. r. s.
SAMSON and S. C. Staley, both Demo
Gratis, have been named to fill the va
cancies in the court. .ft

cA6ELL TEACHERS
NEAR RACE WAR

Huntington, w. Va, Aug. 23.-A
race war threatened here yesterday in
the Cabell county teachers institute,
and for time serious trouble was
threatened, County Superintendent
of Schools Petit put quietus on the
difficulty temporarily. when he threat.
ened to revoke the certificate of any
teacher who made a move toward vic.
lence. ''--' -" ia
Goaded to desperation by the con-
tinued annoyance of white school
teachers made public complaint to the
superintendent in the midst Of pro-
ceedings, More than 200 teachers were
in the room and at once stir began,
many indicating that they favored the
instant election of the colored teach
ers from the room. The colored teach
ers declared that they had been con-
stantly annoyed by being struck with
paper pellets and that their protests
had been received with sneers.
A colored man teacher joined in the
protest, and this made the situation
all the more serious.
Superintendent Petit made state
ment in'which he said that the colored
teachers were compelled by law to at
tend the institute, and that any out
break toward them would be punished
by the revoking of the certificates of
those Involved. A committee was APP
pointed to investigate the complaint
of the colored women, and State SUI
perintendent Shawkey was summoned
here to adjust the situation.
