BULGAR, SERB AND GREEK
IN A DESPERATE BATTLE
Hand Hand With Swords and Bayons Lasting All DaReped Losses
On Sides In Five Days Battle Over &c. 0O0Bugaans Accused
4 By Greeks OF Nameles Atrocities Women

LoNDON. July Z. desperate
ngntfng with enormous losses on
Dot1 sides were reported between
NE Bulgarians and Servians all
Gong the frontier today. The re-
Horts are SO conflicting that it
was impossible to judge with
what side success in the fighting
lay. Dispatches from Sofia tell
of the Bulgarian successes while
those from Belgrade report the
success of the Servian troops.
A semi-official statement issued
at Belgrade admits that the Ser
VANS ware driven back W h
heavy loss but later dispatches
from the city were to the effect
that they had recovered their
lost ground.
The fighting during the last 10
days, all the dispatches agree,
has been more deadly than any
in the war with Turkey. In last
weeks fighting, according to
estimates, between 10000 and
10000 men were killed a n d
wounded. Two hundred thousand
Servians and Bulgars were re-
ported today to be fighting fierce
ly along the frontier.
The new Balkan war h a S
officially begun, for dispatches
from the different capitals tell of
the breaking off of diplomatic
relations. The Servian govern
ment has sent a note to Bulgaria
formally breaking off relations
and announcing the recall of the
minister at Belgrade. The Bull
garian government yesterday re-
called the minister at Belgrade,
Cottinje and Salonica.

JOHNSON TOOK LAST
LOOK AT HIS VICTIM
nnca Calls Upon Dead Woman To Speak To Him Once More Believed
That Crime Was Carefully Planned And Cooly Executed Murder
er Expects To Pay Penalty OF His Act With His Life

FAIRMONT, w. Va. July 9th.
Mary Johnson, the n e G r o
woman murdered by her hus-
band, Charles Johnson, at New
Central mines, after a jealous
escapade on last Saturday, was
buried yesterday afternoon from
a local morgue. Before the body
was conveyed away there was a
remarkable scene enacted in the
little room at the morgue for the
murderer was led there for last
look and farewell to the woman
he first raised from a child, then
married and finally killed. Those
emotions that characterize an i'll
iterate southern negro W er e
brought into play by the unfor-
tunate and those who witnessed
the scene were greatly affected by
it.
johnson killed his wife after
she had left him and began to re-
side at the home of a neighbor.
He went to the neighbours home,
terrorized the section by shooting
at the woman. He missed her
and she hurried to their home.
He followed and fred through
the door, tearing a terrible hole
through her breast with a shot
gun.
Her name was Mary but John
son always called her "Joe."
During the morning hour in the
Jail he was told that the woman
would be buried that afternoon.
He called for Deputy Buckley
who escorted him to the morgue
where the body lay prepared for
burial.
"Oh, Joe, | warned you. | tole
you. First | took you when you
were a baby and brought you up;
then l married you. Then l killed
you. ! warned you, Joe," he
cried as falling on his knees he
kissed the cold face o tn e
woman. He reached the hyster-
ical stage and begged for the
woman to speak to him to come
back to him. With the tenderest
care he looked over the body to
see if it was properly clothed for
burial. He babe her a last fare
we'll and coolly left the place with
the officer.
This is the last time | will
ever be out on the street. / killed
that woman and / know what be-
comes of a niger who commits
murder. They hang him, !" he
said to Buckley as he was being
led back to the Jail.

JNnBER BELINdToN VA, THURSDAY. 10, i
GINSENG DICER TRAILED
BY BLOOD HOUNDS

Last Tuesday morning G. j.
Stalnaker, Deputy Sheriff, dis
covered that someone had during
the night before visited his Gin
seng garden, and helped himself
to some of the best roots of Gin
seng and Golden Seal.
1t appears that tn e Ginseng
digger or thief became frightened
when he came in contact with
some of the wiring, and with
strides made a hurried retreat.
Mr.. Stalnaker quietly motored
to Fairmont, and returned in the
evening with blood hounds;
at five O'Clock the trail was caught
and after some time spent trail
ing about the garden the dogs
trailed to point at the intersec-
ton of Pike and Beverly St.,
within two hundred feet of the
garden. Trials were made O n
both ways Of the Pike. The dogs
failed to follow the trail any fur
Their successfully.
Few people knew of the Incl
dent until the hounds arrived but
in very few minutes a large
crowd was on hands eager to
watch the chase.
