An Educational Opportunity.

Editor Register-Some one has said
that there is enough material on one acre
of ground to educate any individual II il
is properly used. II is The work OF the
teacher, the supervisor and others inter
ested in education TO make this material
usable for the children and for other
members OF the community. The daily
routine OF school days does this service
in limited way for that part OF society
which is enrolled in the public school.
On November 9Th and 9th Shepherdstown
district and surrounding community will
concentrate its educational forces in a
school fair. This unusual opportunity
will be open not only TO all the children
OF the district, but to the adults as well.
Two days spent attending the fair with
carefully planned directions for study
will be worth more to the children than
any other entire week Of school. Each
parent can make no more important con-
tribution TO his child's education this year
than to see to il that the child uses this
opportunity 10 the best advantage. b.

Pretty Girl seriously Hurt.


The Martinsburg Journal gives the de-
tails OF a mysterious attack made upon
Miss Cozie Foliz, the pretty sixteen
year-old daughter OF c. w. Foltz, near
Scrabble, last Saturday. Miss Foltz
who was former student of Shepherd
College, but who is now member OF the
senior class OF the Martinsburg High
School, was suddenly attacked by a
strange man in the barn at her home,
struck in the head and left lying across
the door sill by the assailant. who, evil
IDENTIFY thinking her dead, fled and has
not been apprehended. Miss Foltz was
attacked about Las O'Clock. She was
found by Mrs. Birdie Stewart and Mrs
r. c. Mercer. a neighbor, at 3 O'Clock and
carried into the house, where medical aid
was summoned.
Miss Foltz had gone out into the pas
ture and caught the family horse, taking
the animal to the barn preparatory 10
driving TO Bedington, where she was to
meet her father. AS she turned to leave
the barn, after feeding the horse, and had
just stepped upon the door sill, a man
suddenly emerged and struck her a vio-
lent blow in the face. Whether he used
his bare fist or some blunt instrument IS
not known, but the blow landed on the
girls left temple and she fell inSensiole.
For thirteen hours she remained uncon-
scious.
Mrs. Stewart, who keeps house for Mr.
Foltz and family, becoming alarmed al
the prolonged absence OF Miss Foltz,
secured the aid OF Mrs. Mercer and started
in search, finding the inanimate form al
the stable. DR.. Lemaster, who was sum-
moned, after a careful examination, stated
that Miss Foltz was unframed, with the
exception OF the blow.
After Miss Fotz had recovered from
the effects of her unpleasant experience
she was able TO give good description
OF her assailant. Suspicion was directed
toward Roy Sakeman, a young man Oh
bad reputation from Hagerstown, who
has been staying with his mother at The
home of George Rhodes, in the neigh
borhood where the assault occurred
Monday night Sheriff Tabler and couple
of deputies went 10 the Rhodes place
where they found Sakeman and put him
under arrest. He denied any connection
with the assault, but told conflicting sto-
ries of what he was doing that Saturday
afternoon. One OF his stories was that
he had gone TO the Foltz store for gun
cartridges, but was unable to secure them'
Responsible parties declare he was mol
at the store and if he had called for car
tridges he could have secured them, as ar
ample supply was on hand.
1t transpires that Sakeman has been il
difficulty several times, having been ar
rested for beating a man in Martinsbug
few weeks ago and for making an assault
on boy year or two since. He has
brother in the Maryland Penitentiary.
Miss Fotz is getting along fairly well
after her trying experience. She has
very black eye and bad bruise on tht
left side of her face. She complains o
pain in her head that may indicate interna
injury.

OF land along the Shepherd turnpike, a

for it. This is well-located place, and
was formerly known as the Rightstine

not Mr.. Marten intends 10 retire from
town business and become farmer, but
we rather suspect that he has bought the
place as speculation.
The Billmyer heirs have sold to Walter
Cation 81 acres OF the "Reynolds" farm,
lying east OF town, for the sum OF $4,000.
This land is that which lies between the

a very severe Case OF SllldllpOA.
Charles Miller, son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
John r. Miller, of this vicinity, was very
painfully hurt last Saturday by being
kicked by a horse on the Welsh farm
near GreenSburg, Berkeley county. He
was coming in from tile field, when he
attempted 10 jump on one OF the horses
and ride. The animal turned and let fly
at him with both hind feet, striking him
fearful blow in the breast. 1t was at
first thought he was fatally injured, and
he has been under the care OF two ply
sicians. He suffered for several days
intensely, but yesterday evening was re-
ported TO be much better.
There was very disastrous freight
wreck on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
at Engle's Switch, this county, last Mon
day morning. An extra east-bound train
running at high rate OF speed jumped
the track as it was passing the station and
% cars loaded with coal and coke were
scattered along the right OF way, making
a desperate wreck. All three OF the
tracks were blockaded, and though wreck
ing crews were summoned from both
Brunswick and Cumberland, they had to
work many hours before they could clear
the way so that trains could pass. Pas
senger trains were detoured around the
wreck from Harper's Ferry and Shenan-
doah Junction by way OF Charles Town,
using the Norfolk & Western Railway and
the Valley Branch. This is the second
disastrous wreck in the same locality
within few weeks. A few more such
disasters and money sufficient TO build
the Shepherdstown cutoff will have been
wasted.
