like tabasco?
OF course, you want to do your part

We have fixed it 80 that you may send
in twenty-five cents and each quarter
will buy fine, fresh kit of cigarettes,
tobacco and papers which go straight
to some soldier at the front. The
American government is back of the

Deputy Sheriff Hood and Night Chief
Seaman Of the Fairmont police force
to Grant Town to bring in Bert
Humphreys a former constable OF
Paw Paw district who was wanted
on q warrant issued by Justice Con-
away on a Yost law charge
They returned without their man
but with lurid tale Of desperate

his thumb was between the hammer
and the cartridge when the Grant

West Virginian received an envelope
bearing regulation special delivery
stamp and the cancellation mark Of
the Grant Town postofrice On the
back was the receiving stamp OF the
Fairmont office which showed that 1t
had been received there at noon.
This is what was written in. good
clear hand on the sheet of note pa.
per which was on the inside:
TRe~truth about the arrest of Bert
Humphreys is that not Michaels
alone came in but all four officers
came in together and some boy that
was with them and when came out
in the hall they all fell over each
other getting down the steps and
Michaels could not run because he
was too busy begging me not to shoot
and went down to argue with them.
