BURGLARS GET HAULS
AT TWO MORE STORES
BIoodhounds Follow Trail to
Barbour County Line Where
1t is Lost.

Burglars broke into Stuart's gem
eral store at Craigmoor some time
Thursdaynight and carried away SIS
In money and quantity of merchan-
disc. A call was relayed over the
telephone system that ex-
lists in that part OF the county to
the sheriff's office here with request
for the sheriff's bloodhounds and
Deputy Sheriff Wolfe at once took
the dogs to the scene.
The hounds followed trail south
east to the Barbour county line,
where there was evidence that the
burglars stopped and changed their
shoes and where the scent was lost.
The burglars stopped at a farm
house on their way and helped them
selves to eatables.
Another Harrison county store was
also visited by burglars the same
night, that of Luther Hurd at
o'Neil. The loot there consisted OF
about SO in. cash taken from a cash
till and an assortment OF merchan-
disc. One sack containing nine pairs
of shoes, which had been selected
from the stock, was left behind by
the burglars. Entrance was gained
by crawling under the building, DOR
ing holes in the floor and cutting out
two or three boards. Request was
made for Sheriff Ross T. Stout's
bloodhounds. but they had previous
ly been engaged at Craigmoor.

Col. Henry Solomon White, OF
Matewan, whose picture here ap-

the Fifth congressional district Of
this state to the Republican nation,
al convention in Chicago to nominate
a presidential ticket. This veteran
Republican is a real patriot OF the
Archie Campbell type and that his
will be the part Of wisdom in the con
vention no one doubts. A brief
sketch Of his life shows that.
Colonel White was born July 10,
1910, in Monongalia county, this
state. He worked on his fathers
farm and received common school
education afforded part of each year
Yet his inclination never ran to az
riculture but to mercantile and man
ufacturing pursuits. He loved the
stately trees upon the hills for the
lumber they would saw and the ex-
change they would bring in q raj
open market. He loved buying. BELL
ing. manufacturing, building and
trading in lumber. Hence in after
years he contracted to erect the neat
representative building for West
Virglnia's industrial and mineral
specimens at the centennial exposi-
ton of 1876 in Philadelphia.
Being energetic, practical and out
spoken he was nominated by the re
publicans and elected by the voters
of Marshall county to seat in the
house OF delegates and he served
from 1872 to 1876. Naturally az
gressive, possessed Of quick percep
