MASS MEETING OF CITIZENS TO
BE HELD NEXT WEEK TO
TAKE UP MATTERS.
Interesting Statement Made BY Prom
inent Resident Of the Mil Town
Citizens Up In Arms.

With the holding Of a meeting Ly
, n number OF progressive citizens OF
Benwood early next week. the first
gun Of war for a Greater Wheeling
will have been fred and also the
opening OF the struggle between Mar
shall county and citizens OF Benwood
TO decide whether the city OF BenwOOd
will remain In Marshall county or
become a part OF Ohio county and the
city OF Wheeling. The meeting which
Is To be held next week will be In
the nature OF a suggestive session for
the purpose OF discussing the best
methods Of putting the matter before
the state legislature In a manner that
VIII bring success 10 its promoters.
Among those who are backing the
movement are some of the leading
citizens and heaviest taxpayers OF the
City OF Benwood They mean bust
ness. and are In the fight TO stay.
Knowing that the realization Of their
hopes cannot be accomplished with
out bitter fight. they have taken the
aggressive. and from now until the
City Of BCnwood becomes part Of
the City Of Wheeling. they declare no
quarter will be given
The circumstances which have
brought about the present action
could possibly be traced 10 the recent
arrest and hning Of Eve Benwood citi-
zens for Sunday selling This. 10 is
understood. b. the matter which has
brought about the calling OF the meet
ing AZ this time. but the feeling Is one
OF long standing. For a number OF
years great number Of citizens Of
the mill town have been under the i'm.
preston that they have been imposed
on by the Marshall county authorities
Also they feel that respect on the parf
OF those IN the county seat for the citi.
gems OF BcnwOod IL lacking.
Shippner a Booster

making BcnwOod n part Of Wheeling

strongest taxpayer In Union district
Mr. Shippncr was approached by an
lntelliEcnccr reporter yesterday and
asked what he thought 81 the chances
for Greater Wheeling in his direction
Mr. Shippncr answered There was
never better chance for Wheeling to
annex Bcnwood than az the proaent
time. With the cooperation 81 some

which am obliged to him. Let US drop
the matter there. Perhaps you gentlemen
will both join me in a little drop of the
usual. Ell, doctor?"
He opened a cupboard and produced a
bottle Of whisky and some glasses. The
doctors eyes followed his movements
greedily. Mr.. Montressor solemnly poured
out three portions OF whisky and held
the water jug poised in his hand.
Say when, Good health. Mr.. Knox
good health, doctor A little farewell
drink, eh? We mustn't keep Mr.. Knox
any longer"
The doctor set down his glass empty.
You will forgive me-" he said. but
should like word or two's conversation
with Mr.. Knox in the presence of our
friend, Mr.. Montressor. here"
Quite unnecessary" Mr.. Montressor
interrupted brusquely.
Pardon me-" the doctor went on. IT
think otherwise What I should like Mr.
Knox to understand, as a friend of Mr..
Spendler's, is that have, for Mr..
Spendler's sake, run very grave risk of
imperiling my professional reputation"
Mr.. Montressor watched his visitors
face curiously, but Knox appeared duly
impressed.
My conscience" the doctor continued.
is clear enough upon the matter, but
at the same time the risk to my profess
sional status is immense. It is my desire
to come into contact personally with Mr..
Spendler. / feel that he would like to
recognize my services in some instan-
taneous and substantial manner"
Perfectly reasonable that sounds, ]
am sure" Knox agreed.

well imagine that the quieter the af.

Very lucky for Leonard" Knox re.
marked, that a man with a shrewd
brain was about that night, Mr.. Mon.
tressor."
You are right" Mr.. Montressor con.
fessed: right. indeed! I iatter my
self-hello, who's that?"
The outside door was heard to open
A moment later the door of the sitting
room was pushed back. A little man
with red cheeks and watery eyes en-
tered. He bowed to Mrs. Montressor
nodded to her husband, whom his en-
trance seemed somewhat to disturb,
and gazed at Knox with an air of bland
interest.
Most particularly engaged for few
minutes" Mr.. Montressor declared
my dear fellow. I am sure. So glad to
see you little later on"
1.-THE newcomer apparently did mind.
His eyes were fixed upon Knox.
One moment" he begged. as Mon
tressor's hand fell upon Ghis shoulder;
"one moment, il you please. Am
right in supposing that this gentleman
Is friend Of Mr.. SpendlerT
Il am" Knox assented. briskly. And
you, / am sure. are the doctor who has
been SO kind as to help in this unfor-
tunate little matter? A pleasure, my
dear sir-a great pleasure. I assure
you"
The newcomer drew OF his worn
