geant Bert Laferty, OF the Central
City company, National Guard. is ~
ing in serious condition at the City

The affair occurred about eight
o'clock while the members Of the
Company l OF Central City were en-
moval from the camp grounds. Ac-
cording to the story told by witnesses.
Sergeant Bert Lafferty had been de-
tailed to look after the work Of having
the equipment removed. He believed
that some OF the men were showing
disposition TO shirk a little and gave
a rather sharp order, which was re-
Sented by Private Thos. R. Smith Of
the same company, who intimated
| that he might take such an order
from his captain but doubted LATER
TVS authority to issue it. They had
further words and it is said that
Smith proceeded with his work. but
happening to look around he says he
saw. Lafferty coming at him with a
Ratchet. Coming up to Smith it is
said Lafferty changed the Ratchet
from his right TO his left hand and
struck Smith with his fist and was
again coming at Smith when the lat.
ter drew his bayonet and held it in
front Of him. Smith claims he did
not thrust It. At all events they
came togther. the wound was infiict-
ed. the sharp point Of the bayonet
entering Laffertys abdomen, Some
OF the other men ran in and separated
the two men and then it was dis
covered that Lafferty was badly
wounded.
Several Of the surgeons on tn field
were called and rendered aid. Then
the wounded man was removed to the
City Hospital in an automobile, where
he was given surgical attention by
Drs. Stone and Robinson and some OF
the surgeons connected With the
guard.
Major Rice, the Provost Marshal OF
the camp. took immediate steps in
the matter, making a searching in
quiry. Dispositions of the witnesses
to the affair were taken and at their
conclusion Smith. the accused. was
turned over to the civil authorities
and was taken TO the county Jail and
the matter will be laid before the
prosecuting attorney.
Squire Foreman issued a warrant
against Smith, charging him with a
felonious assault and this was served.
A hearing will not be held in the case
until the result Of the injury to his
victim is known. Some Of the friends
OF the prisoner insisted that he was
acting in self defense.

Gets Promotion,


Pat Judge, who Tor some time has
been station master at Grafton. has
been reappointed TO the position Of
supervisor OF Transportation. Mr..
Judge has for the past 40 years been
connected with the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad as telegraph operator,
dispatcher chief dispatcher and diyls.
ion operator. About three years ago
he was appointed to the position OF
supervisor Of transportation, but when
business on the road got Gull. it be.
came necessary for the company TO
do away with the position temporarily
during which time MIR. Judge has been
stationed at Grafton as station mas.
ter. Mr.. Judge has the respect OF
all railroad men coming IN touch with
him and has an envlaDle record for
ability ana upr!shteousness. The new
position takes him IRON Cincinnati TO

Extra Road Gangs.
Two extra gangs will Ne put into &C.
ton in a few days assisting the gang
that is at present making repairs 10
the tracks IN and about the g. {; u.
Fairmont yard. 1t has been found
that the work which Is beng done in
the yard will not be completed in
time to allow the men TO look after
the lines during the fall weather.
With the three gangs working on the
track there is likelihood OF complet.
ing the work within a month.
Heavy Peach Crop.
There are quite few car loads Of
peaches being handled in the Fair.
mont yard. Most OF them are coming
from the east, but the supply pouring
in from the Connellsville division is
significant because never before have
peaches come in from that section as
plentitully as this year Most OF the
peaches are for FaI-mont and ClarkS.
burg.
ccaI Traffic Heavy.
The coal coming into Fairmort yard
is still causing an overabundance OF
energy TO handle it. There seems TO
be no let up on shipments Of coal
around Fairmont. but not as much as
usual is going TO the Great Lakes.
Most OF the coal handled for the past
ten days has been going to Curtis
Bay. the Baltimore AID 0hio's big ex.
port shipping point. There never
seems to be any blockade on the Bal.
timore and Ohio shipments for Curtis
Bay. but about three or four times a
year the Lorain docks and the other
lake points seem to choke with coal
cars. causing the company to hold
back on loading and in turn effectinS

are unable 10 load any coal.
