An oil well drilled in on the 2. E.

The tools were sunk to depth OF

per hour and has steadily increased
until at press time the liquid contin-

ANOTHER PUZZLED
OVER WORD VALUE
]. M. Black Would Like To
Know Just What. Tenn
porarily Means.

J. M. Black Of the Fairmont Wall
Plaster company discussing the action
Of the Fairmont Board Of Affairs In
regard to the privileges of unloading
sand at the city wharf this morning
said II would like to know Just what
the word temporary means to the
Board. The present hoisting engine
and derrick is only supposed to be
temporarily on the city. wharf, yet
1t has been there since the beginning
Of the construction Of electromagnetic.
la railroad and the present Indications
are that 1t will remain Indefinitely.
Although at their meeting yesterday
the Board admitted that the wharf is
for the use Of any citizen yet there
are discriminating in favor. Of persons
who do not even reside in the state.
"Just what motive actuates them in
allowing the McClane Sand company
OF Point Marion to take up the entire
wharf space In unloading sand for
Nuzum and Deberry Is another point
that do not understand. Perhaps the
fact that the present sand is being
used for the construction Of the Pres.
byterian church and that the major.
ity Of the board are Presbyterians may
have some bearing on the matter.
Another question that puzzles me Is;
why did Ira Smith 80 to Brownsville
when Nuzum and Deberry could have
told him all about the ownership Of
the plant on the wharf,"
Mr.. Black says that the Wall Plas.
ter company will tako no immediate
action in regard to the matter but
will likely be compelled to rent ground
and build themselves q wharf Of their
own Just as the Boat Liveryman Hix.

County Coroner Frank Lloyd and

there this morning. Audia was found

ing.
At first the county officers were
OF the opinion that Audia had come to
his death through being hit by q
train. Developments since the burial
today have shown that Audia was
struck over the head with q piece Of
coke by an Italian known in the neigh
borhood. 1t Is reported here that the
man who struck Audia is demented
or at least irrational. Immediately af-
ter hitting his man 1t is said he sat
down and wept bitterly and acted
otherwise peculiarly. Since the ex-
citment following the finding OF the
unconscious form the man has not
been about the place where the body
was found. Z. .sE;--s7zg g---.gs -sJrs--,,
The county officials were not notified
that man had been hurt or killed at
Monongah and the only county officer
knowing anything OF the circumstance
is Constable Satterfeld who was on
the same car with the injured man re-
turning from Eyerson to this city. He
did not investigate, figuring that the
man had been injured, as reported, by
n train. II Is claimed that the track
nextto which the body was found was
not used by locomotive on the night
previous to the day which the body
was found and this serves to strength.

man met with foul play.
The officers say arrests will be made

LIFE NOT ALWAYS

were filed late yesterday evening
which was. the last day Of the thirty
days Of the primary, in which the can.
didates are required. to file statements.
The total OF those who stated that
they had received contributions was
only two and both OF these were Dem.
ocrats. In a previous report II was
mentioned that William W. Conaway,
candidate for Justice OF the peace,
had listed contributions received from
several theatres in the way OF free
advertising. A. NJ. Glover, candidate
for sheriff, seems 10 have been more
successful in this line, however, and

Roush's S.. This sSs together with
tHe ~ Isleu III MS nTsI statement
brings Glovcr's total sum spent up
to $50.
W. T. Smith who was defeated by
Glover spent q total Of $16S:2o in his
campaign. OF this s113.45 was listed in
the last statement. He lists "To Fair.

This may be taken as another II.
lustration OF the contention that mon
ey is not the chief factor in prim.

and was defeated, while Glover who
was his opponent, spent only s42 OF
his money and received contributions
OF meals, room rent, cigars and free

None Of the Republicans received
contributions according to their state.

the Democratic candidates for the
