Building n0thward from Denver the
Denver. Laramie and Pacific railroad
will run, for sixty miles through the
greatest prairie dog town In the world
estimated to contain nearly 500,0o0.000

The INVASION of dis district means
war, and the railroad officials are plan
ming to wipe out the dogs along their
right of way by dropping into their
holes balls OF cotton saturated with
carbon bisulphlde. The fumes In
which no animal life can exist, will
so permeate the holes that the prairie
dogs will be suffocated.
The railroad finds 1t necessary to ex-
terminate the animals to prevent them
from SO undermining the roadbed as
tp make traffic insecure. The entire
tbwn will not be attacked, but only
that part through which the line i to

BLUE SKY LAW
Morgantown Bankers and Board Of
Trade Discuss Statute.

The Morgantown New Dominion
prints the following rather startling
story Of the new Blue Sky Law Of
West Virginia. which, 1t Is generally
understood. was patterned after the
blue sky" law Of Kansas and sew
era other states which have been in
operation for several years
"A joint meeting of the Board Of
Trade and the Bankers Association
OF Morgantown was held in the Board
of Trade rooms for the purpose Of de-
vising ways and means of complying
with the Blue say law without go
ing out of business. All the banks OF
the city were represented, and ma
iority of the directors of the Board
were represented. The definite &C
ton taken was the appointment of a
committee Of FIVE members, to get
from the attorney general and the
state auditor their most liberal inter
pretations of the law, and to urge
upon Governor Hatfield that he in
clude this mater among the measur-
es he recommends for consideration
at any special session of the 1egisla-
ture he may call. The committee
consists of j. L. Keener. James Nc
4 Grew, f. M. Grant, B. L. Morris and
I Charles A. Goodwin.
k Several important Facts.
"The discussion of the measure
brought out several important facts
that have been overlooked by the gen
eraI public, and also, it seems by the
solons, who voted for the passage of
the bill. Judge George c. Sturgiss, in
discussing several phases of the
measure stated that the rule Of rea-
son must be applied in the admins
tration of the law. and expressed the
opinion that the statute was not
meant to prevent the transfer OF
stock in going concerns by one indi-
vidual to another. He did not be-
lieve it would be interpreted to inter-
fere with the transfer of bank stock,
1 building and loan stock, or other Sc
curities based om real estate mort
cages. He did, however, recognize
i that there was grave menace to legi-
timate business in the provisions of
I the act which might prevent the is
suance and sale of. treasury stock IN
going concerns, unless the state audi
stor should deem such sales wise from

Escapes Electrocution In

Roy Keesecker. of Berkeley Springs
who was recently brought to the To-
cal jail for safe Keeping. narrowly
escaped electrocution Saturday even
ing. Mr.. Miller, the jailer, had let
the prisoners out of their cells into
the corridor to enjoy little exer-
else. Keesecker decided to climb up
the side of the cells and converse
with some prisoners on the second
floor.
He went up as far as he could, and
then seized large water pipe to hold
himself while engaged in the CONVEX
sation. Not watching the position Of
his hands he struck live wire, which
was so heavily charged that his left
hand was burned to the bone and the
shock so great that he soon became
unconscious and fell to the floor, a
distance OF ten feet
The other prisoners sounded the
alarm and Mr.. Miller hurried to the
scene TO make an investigation. He
applied restoratiyes and then sum
moned Or. Myers, who rendered the
necessary medical attention and Kee-
seeker soon recovered. He is suffer
ing greatly from his burns and will
