Basketball Notes.

The Shepherd College basketball team
went TO Martinsburg Tuesday night, es-
coned by some fifty or sixty enthusiastic
rooterS, to have the first game OF the sea-
son with the High School quint OF that
place. We are panied to note the result
-Martinsburg "A, Shepherd College 26.
Our boys played we'll and their friends
rooted prodigiously, but the Martins
burgers were too clever for us and hon
estly earned the victory. The game is
said to have been clean and sportsman
like in every particular, while the umpire,
Allan Emmert, was absolutely fair and
impartial in his decisions. II was hard
game 10 lose, but we shall hope 10 turn
the tables on the hefty boys from Berke-
ley when they come TO Shepherdstown.
A game OF basketball will be played
Saturday night in the college gymnasium
between the Penn State Foresters and
Shepherd College. The game, which
will be called at $50, promises TO be
good one.
Next Wednesday evening at 8 O'Clock
the Shepherdstown team will play against
the Hagerstown Crescents in thefiremen's
hall here. This will be the first appear
ance OF the town team.

Goodies From California.

Jacob L. Hoffman, OF MADEIRA, Califor-
MIA, sent TO the family of Robert I.
Banks, in this place, mighty nice
Christmas box, containing oranges, LEM
ons and pomegranates, with Instructions
to share with the editor OF the Register.
The fruit was typical OF the wonderful
perfection it attains in California, and il
was generous OF Mr.. Hoffman TO remem-
Der his friends way back east at his old
home. Daniel J. Fulk, OF Pasadena, CAL
ifornia, sent to his aged mother, al Kear-
neysvIle, a box OF the delicious products
OF that State, and Mrs. Fulk was kind
enough 10 send to us for our sampling a
box OF figs and raisins that looked like
beautiful picture, and which were just as
good as they were pretty. Our vener-
able fellow townsman, d. s. Rentch,
ESQ.,, was the recipient OF beautiful box
OF raisinS sent him by VIM. S. StaleY, of
Selma, Cal, who many years ago resided
near Shepherdstown. Mr.. Rentch shared
them with his friends and gave the editor
OF the Register nice package of the rails
ms. II is pleasant TO note that though
thousands of miles separate the Golden
State from the Mountain State, the cords
OF friendship and filial affection happily
bridge the gap.

Troubles of the Power Company


The stockholders OF the Martinsburg
Power Company decided last week TO 60
into bankruptcy, and steps were taken TO
have its affairs thus put in charge OF a
trustee appointed by the United States
Court. 1t was said that this was done in
order TO put an end TO costly and tedious
litigation in the local courts and to pre-
vent further proceedings threatened by
creditors and dissatisfied stockholders.
The Martinsburg Power Company OPP
crates the electrical plant at Dam No. a,
above Shepherdstown, from which the
electricity used here is obtained. This
plant, il is said, was the beginning OF the
company's troubles. Constructed at ex-
travagant cost, il has never given entire
satisfaction, and now its machinery is re-
garded as obsolete in certain respects and
new equipment would have to be installed
to make it up-to date. The company
has been in financial difficulties for some
time, and though efforts have been made
TO reorganize its affairs and merge ii with
other concerns, these seem 10 have failed.
The stockholders have finally concluded
TO take the icy plunge into bankruptcy,
in the hope that its affairs may be settled
by the court more advantageously than
seemed possible by other methods.

The Firemen's Fair.

The fair held by the firemen during the
recent holidays was well attended and the
profits will, it is hoped, amount to several
hundred dollars. The accounts have moi
yet been settled and detailed figures are
not available. Fifemen from Hagerstowr
and Charles Town attended, the First
Hose Company of Hagerstown bringing
as donation ten-dollar gold piece
AS ii was against the law 10 chance any
thing off, this feature was, OF course,
eliminated. However, solicitors sold
postcards at various prices and those
who bought them were presented with
articles OF value-if they had guessed the
lucky number when they bought the post
card. Good meals were served each
night and various societies banqueted
there. The firemen are grateful 10 the
various friends, especially the ladies', who
helped them and encouraged the fair.
The firemen are thinking OF putting in
moving picture equipment and running
show regularly.

ly touched as they meditated upon the sad
ending of so promising young life.
Information received as to the details Of
the accident vary somewhat, but the facts
seem to be that Mr.. Potts was making an
automobile journey from Lander TO Du-
bois, in Wyoming, on business connected
with the timber company OF which he
was manager. The distance was S0mileS,
over narrow road that was dangerous
and rough in places He was within four
miles of his journeys end and had passed
man on horseback, when the man saw
the car swerve to one side and plunge
over steep embankment. II turned
over three or four times before II finally
stopped. The man quickly went to The

but still breathing, and after doing for him
what he could, brought help from ranch

PRED, and the body was taken TO Dubois.
His identity was established, and his
family and friends were notified OF the
distressing event. The body was en-
balmed and sent on for burial, the men,
bers of the company and railroad officials
being especially thoughtful and kind in

The Triumphs Of Cupid.

It's long time until spring, but there
seems to be an epidemic Of that sort Of
fancy that makes the minds OF the young
lightly turn to thoughts Of love. Last
week Roy Mitchell Coffman, of Delray.
w. Va, and Miss Jessie Emma Rife, Of
Waynesboro, Va, came to the conclusion
that they could not be happy apart from
each other and planned an elopement.
The groom went TO Hagerstown and got
a marriage license ready. Miss Rife,
who is but fifteen years old, had in the
meantime slipped away from Winchester,
where she was attending school, and
proceeded to Hagerstown with her lover.
They went to the parsonage ofthe Wash
iugton Square M. E. Church, where they
were married by Rev. w. L. Lynn. Just
too late TO stop the wedding, urgent mes
sages were received by the license clerks
and police from the brides family, ask
ing that the marriage be prevented at all
hazards, but the warning was not received
in time. Mrs. Coffman is an adopted
daughter OF w. A. Rife, OF Waynesboro,
and has occasionally visited the family Of
John H. Schoppert in Shepherdstown.
She is an attractive little girl, but il is
conceded that she is rather young to as
sumo the duties and responsibilities of
married life. II is said that Mr.. Rife
raised considerable of fog when he
learned OF the wedding, but Cupid seems
to have triumphed.
The plan Of Bonnie Roderick, aged II
years, son OF Mr.. and Mrs. B. w. Roder-
lex. OF Charles Town, and Miss Carrie
Staubs, aged 10, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. w. Staubs, OF this county, were
temporarily checked when they attempted
to get married last week, but, after all,
love as usual found the way. The youth
full couple eloped to Hagerstown, but the
folks at home got wind OF il and hasty
messages sizzled along the wires 10 the
authorities in Hagerstown. The clerk
refused to issue license when he was
informed that the couple were under age,
so they sadly but with great determination
went further afield Unrestrained by pa
rental interference at Rockville, Md,
they got license and found minister
willing TO marry them without asking EN-
banassing questions, and so the knot
was tied. They returned home for the
parental blessings, but just how hearty
these were is not reported.
