DUFF FOUND CIJIL ny
IN GRIMM AL COURT
OF Transporting Liquor for
Others from One Point to
Another in State.

Several weeks ago Lloyd Duff and
others alighted from Baltimore and
Ohio fast train, No. Q, eastbound, at
Salem. at an early hour in the morn
Ing with q considerable cargo OF
liquor which they had brought from
Marietta, and proceeded to load the
same in Duff,s automobile there
which was in waiting. Salem city
officials undertook to arrest them but
they broke away and headed full
speed toward Clarksburg with Salem
officers purufng them. AS soon as
they got away from the officers at Sa-
lem, Sheriff Ross II. Stout here was
notified Of the incident and requested
to intercept them. The sheriff hasti-
~ gathered posse of officers and
proceeded to Point Comfort, an out
skirt OF the city, where he and his
party lay in wait until 4 o'clock In
the morning, when he sighted the au-
tomobile. approaching. He COM
lnanded the party to halt but the lat
ter paid no attention to him until the
tires OF the car were shot down.
One result of the incident was the
recent finding Of an Indictment by a
grand jury OF the criminal court, and
upon this Indictment Dun was tried
and convicted in the criminal court by
jury Saturday afternoon of having
trans ported liquor for others from
one point to another in the state. A
motion was Immediately made to set
the verdict Of the Jury aside and
grant hi ma new trial. Judge James
w. Robson took the motion under
consideration, and, of course, judg-
ment was not entered.
George McAtee confessed In the.
court to assault and battery on
James McAtee and was sentenced by.
Judge Robinson to serve one day In
Jail and pay a fine OF SIS and costs.

Because He Was Fired as Desk,
Sergeant of the City by
Mayor Harry Gordon.

Frank j. Tracey. former desk SER
geant OF the city, who resigned Fri
day upon request OF the mayor, re-
quests the publication OF the following
signed statement, in which he assigns
reasons for being fred, and his state
ment is given by the Telegram for
what it is worth: 3
! wish to make this statement to the
public and inform my friends why /
was fred from the position OF sergeant
OF police of the city Of Clarksburg:
Inc principal cause was a personal
matter between Mayor Gordon and
myself. i felt he took advantage Of
me in business deal that was In no
way connected with the city AFFAIRS.
I asked him for q private interview
and we went in the chiefs Office, and
! said to him, Mayor, feel that you
have skinned me in business deal,
and 1t was a dirty trick. and 1 think
hard OF you. He made no reply, and
the fight was on. This happened
three months ago, and since that, he
has made it very unpleasant for me
to perform my duties.
Another reason why ! was fred. /
was 9 little too active in enforcing the
prohibition laws to suit the adminis-
,t1ation. Here is one instance: It
was reported to me that patroiman
left his post Of duty and went to Glen
;Elk three times one forenoon and
bought whisky. By 10 o'clock he
was drunk and came to the office. The
matter was reported to me, and I re-
ported 1t to Mayor Gordon, who said
It certainly could not have happened.
Later, found out Mayor Gordon was
IN the Office when the patrolman came
IN drunk, and knew that ne was taken
home in an automobile.
One more reason. and / will stop
for this time. AT first, we were in

The members Of Clarksburg lodge
are very proud Of their achievement
and in consequence they are now
planning an elaborate meeting here
on the occasion OF the formal presen-
tation Of the gold-pIated officers

tation will be made In person by the
supreme keeper Of records and seal,
Mr.. Wheaton, or, if supreme lodge
business detains him elsewhere, he
will send special personal Srepresen-
tatiye to Clarksburg for the purpose.
There ISIS good-natured rivalry
among the leading Pythian lodges OF
the state for the honor Of having the
largest membership and local Pyth-
ians are quite elated over having
wrested the honor from the Glendale
lodge OF, Charleston, which held the
honor for years. They also feel pref
lty good over the rapid increase they
have made in membership in the. last
Ave years. In 1910 the local lodge
had fewer than 100 members and at
present it has very close to the 700
mark. Local Pythians say that by the
first OF the year Clarksburg lodge will
have q total membership that will
put 1t away In the lead as the cham
pion Of West Virginia.
