MURDER MAY RESULT
FROM WAR ARGUMENT
cogar Mine Worker Dying ina
Hospital and Officers Hunt
Fellow Countryman.

With only one chance In a hundred
OF surviving, John Roberts, alias John
RadldZ, Slavish coal miner employed
at the Cogar Coal Company's mines
north Of McWhorter, is q patient in q
Clarksburg hospital with a shotgun
wound in his stomach inflicted at
close range, 1t is alleged. by Louis
Bensino, a fellow countryman also
employed at the mines, when they
quarreled over the European war late
Thursday afternoon. Bensino fed
and is now being hunted by Lewis
and Harrison county officers.
The sheriff's Office here was notifi-
ed of the shooting about s. o'clock
Thursday afternoon and request was
made for the sheriff's bloodhounds.
Deputy Sheriffs Laco Wolfe and John
Sicrs took the dogs to the scene at
once but were unable to gain any
particulars about the shooting from
the excited miners in the settlement.
No one seemed to know enough i'm
formation about 1t to enable the Of
ttcers to put the hounds on trail.
The officers were led to believe that
Bensino had fled to the Callph coal
mine some distance south as he had
q friend there with whom he was
much together, but no one would ac-
company the officers for the purpose
of Identifying the man sought, SO
the chase was abandoned by the Har-
,rison county officers. The shooting
occurred in Lewis county near the
Harrison county line Lewis county
officers are now engaged in securing
that section for Bensino.
The Harrison county sheritf's Office
later received a description of Ben
sino and is now on the lookout for
him. He is I'VE feet tall, weighs 1870
pounds, has squinty eyes, dark COM
iplexion, slightly red hair, medium
long and round face and talks broken
English.

WEST MAKES
A CONFESSION
To the Murder Of Sam Kline,
According to Message from
Sheriff Norwood.

Clarence West, Of Big Isaac, has CON
fessed to the murder of Sam Kline,
- jitney bus driver Of Canton, o., &C
cording to a telephone message re-
ceived Friday afternoon by Sheriff
Ross Il. Stout from Sheriff F. K. Nor
wood, Of Stark county, or who spent
several days in this city working on
the case.
West was taken back to Canton
early Thursday morning by r. -.
Howell, county detective Of Stark
county, who had also been here work
ing on the case. West was also
charged with the theft Of an automo-
bile, which was in the possession OF
Kline at the time Of his murder.
The body Of the murdered man was
found In a lonely road, four or five
miles from Canton, on the morning OF
October 1. Five days previous to the
finding Of the body, Kline had prom-
ised to appear at Canton garage ant
make 800 payment on the auto,no-
bile he had purchased. His failure to
appear on that day caused the garage
owners to fear that he had met with
foul play. as he was known to be In
dustrious and reliable.
When arrested here West told the
authorities that he got the automobile
in a rattle at Cleveland, o. He worked
in a rubber factory at Akron prior to
1.-THE murder. He stoutly denied both
the murder and theft charges when
arrested and the news Of his confession
came as somewhat Of a surprise to tie
local authorities.
Sheriff Norwood informed the sheriff
here in the long distance telephone
message that West in his confession
stated that he used a 800 calibre
Savage rife and that It was at the
home of Vests mother at Big Isaac.
Sheriff Norwood asked Sheriff Stout to
go out and get the rife and the latter
went to Big Isaac the latter part OF
the afternoon for that purpose.

LONDON, Oct. 2.-The first phase
OF the Austrian-G German Bulgarian
campaign in Serbia is completed. Not
only have the invaders of Serbia real
lied the important objective Of join
ing hands in the northeastern corner
Of the country, but they have en-
HANGED this military advantage by se-
curing free passage down the Dan

A hotilla OF steamers is said to be
already waiting to transport war ma

by Austro-G German and Bulgarian
leaders, Serbia cannot interfere with
these arrangements, Bulgaria's am
munition shortage should soon be re-
lfeved and its offensive power greatly
strengthened.
Nisli is Threatened.
The progress OF Bulgarian troops
east and northeast Of Nish both
threatens the city and places the
