Who Murdered PaymaSter but
Thus Far They Have Not
Been Appreciated.

MARTINS FERRY. o.. Sept. a.
Two bandits just before noon today
held up an automobile carrying tho
paymaster OF the Youghiogheny and
Ohio Coal Company at a lonely spot
on public road three miles north
OF this city: shot the paymaster, Lee
Rankin, secured 5000 from n box
in the machine and then hastily fed
through the brush on the hillside
and escaped. Robert Pickens, chauf-
feur OF the automobile. lifted Rankin
into the car and hurried him to n
hospital in this city where he died
a half hour later. The scene of the
hold-up is within half n mile OF the
company's mines at Glenn Run.
More than $50 miners Of Glenn
Run rushed TO the scene OF the rob
berry and shooting when news of the
tragedy was brought TO the little min
ing town. The men scattered in many
parties over the surrounding country
searching for the bandits but with
out avail so far. Police In all nearby
town were notified and later blood
hounds were taken to the scene but
were unable to pick up the scent be-
cause many persons had visited the
spot before the dogs arrived.
Rankin got the money from bank
here and engaged Pickens to take him
to the mines. Their course took them
on the river road and west along

Is the one thing in the universe that

so long as they both adopt the same
standard.
Just now feel very pessimistic.
Romance, where 1t appears TO exist,
is merely a matter of pretty face
on the woman's part, and the thing
that makes 4 woman like man is
the feeling that she is admired.
Marriages formed on such basis
soon lose their Illusion, and. barring
.woman's economic helplesness. they
would both be happier apart. But
most women have to marry. and have
to stay married, whether they like
it or not. because they cannot support
themselves. Even where they have
had the training they cannot compete
on any equal terms with men. They
are every way Handicapped. The pre-

West Virginia, PennsyI-

The close of the week in the eastern
oil fields records n number of good
producers brought In during the past
week and generally a more optimistic
feeling prevailing among the oil men
due to the fact that the market price
OF crude oil has remained stationary
for another week This has strength
ened the belief which has been pretty
generally expressed by the fraternity
that no further reductions in price
are likely to occur for some time TO
come.
The Preston Oil Company. a sub
sidy OF the Union Natural Gas Cor

competitions Of the week in the south

company. the south Penn oil Com

GARCIA AND DUARTE HAVE
 SLIM CHANCE

That the chances are a thousand to one that the Buckeye bandits, Garcia and nHdrte will not he surrendered to the sheriffs office of this county. the Mexican consul at NOgales told Sheriff Adams on Sunday morning. The other mine hundred and ninety nine chances are that they will die before firing squad.
 The sheriff returned to the city yesterday morning, having felt No sales the day before at one o'clock. when he learned that Colonel Cam arg0. who had gone to see General Calcs about the rate of the men, would not return that day. The colonel told the sheriff before his de- uar;ure from Nogales that as soon as he could locate Calles and learn what would be done to the men he would wire him. He did not know precisely where he would find Gales. but he finally located him at Agua Priet2 and started back to NoSales without wiring The sheriff takes that as a bad sign for Garcia and Duarte.
 After Camarso left the sheriff hao talk with the Mexican consul about i. The consul believed that the time had come for the men to die and he asked the sheriff if he would shoot the men if they were surrendered to him The sheriff replied that things were done differently on this side of the line; that at present criminals could not be put to death at ait

They were cap tans and each had command of a small squad of men. They had been guilty of many outrages against Car ranzistas and -Comoatans. As to the fourth bandit. Rivera, Camarog said that he had no record. Cano and Rivera are believed to be some where between Nogales and Sonora and large force Of Carranzistas are hunting for them. They will undoubt- eGly ne captured.
 Garcia and Durate might have cs- Caped but for one thing Unfortun- ately just before their arrival word had come to Calles that n force Of about 600 NilliStas were moving to- ward the line guarded by his troops. They were supposed to he coming in small squads and Gales had issued a general order to capture and kill all stranged armed men who approached the lines. Garcia and Duaste rode into the CaTran2iSta camp at SasaDe and were taken into custody.

 The Arizona -Bisbee Copper Com pany. is directing it's efforts in a Dusi- ness-like manner to the point where il can start the sinking of a deep shaft to explore the lower linestones. known to be in that region.
 Arizona Bisbee copper ground Is some of the Lest located in the Bis bee district and in the opinion of many local geologists. needs only deep mining to prove it sore values.
 To the north of the property, the Bisbee- West Company many years ago. sank d shaft q matter of 700 feet lt Is called the "Bisbee- West" shaft and was driven to barren schist. When depth was reached, the com pany drifted north in the same forma- ton. and not south across the Bis bee West fault Geologists maintain that the ore lies adjacent and south of this prominent fault.
