THEIR GRATIS BOOZE
PROVES EXPENSIVE

Trial in the case OF Eliza Metz,
Glenn Parker, Gladys Dodd and
Anna Wilson. charged with bootleg
ging, was held yesterday afternoon
in Justice Musgrave's Office. The fol-
lowing jury heard the evidence: ".
s Hess, ThomasP. Tucker. ]. o. Poe,
S. NJ. Wadsworth, c. A. Powell and
F. NJ. McEIfresh.
The jury found Metz and Parker
guilty, but released the two girls.
Sixty days in jail and a fine Of 500
was imposed.
The case has attracted quite lit
tie attention in the city because CT 4
number of stories which have been
told regarding the manner in which
the whfskey came into the possession
OF this party. Yesterday at the trial
all four witnesses told the same story
regarding barrel which they found
on the road below Morgantown-
1t SENS that three men drove up In
a car and put the barrel out OF view
near the side Of the road whiel they
went ahead to scout little, believing
that some one intended to stop them
In the meantime Metz and Parker
and the two girls happened along and
took possession Of the barrel. Driy
ing as far as the road was smooth
they held it on the running board;
but finding this awkward, they took
the bottels out Of the barral and
threw the barrel away. Not very
much later, the three men, names un-
known. came back for their wss'skey
and found it gone. They immedi-
ateIy. gave chase and for about seven
miles the pursuit was most thrilling;
SINE of the whiske yat this stage o.
ten game got thrown out OF the car
and when Dakota mines was reached
onlv about a dozen quarts remained
It IL believed that Metz was merely
driving the car for Glenn Parker!

SOME new LIGHT ON
NEELY'S CAMPAIGN

Especial Dispatch to West Virginian.)
WHEELING, w. Va, Nov. Is
Now that the election is well over, the
war is won and Colonel Watson is
not to. go to the. Unitea states Senate
from West Virgins, his friends in this
section have been looking around
amid the ruins and have made some
interesting discoveries. One seems to
be- that the very liberal, not to say
lavish support which Colonel Watson's
friends gave to the campaign in Ohio
county, apparently got switched In its
course OF progress, and when It was
finally applied, operated to make
Nicely votes instead OF Watson votes.
! The Democratic organization OF Ohio
county has not been so literally IL
nanced In years as It was this time.
It had money to bum and burned a
good, deal of it. There are eighty
seven precincts IN the county and each
one was manned with from five to
paid workers operating IN certain
wards and precincts Of the city were
literally supplied with expense
money.
Early in the day, however, Repub-
lican workers learned that the effort
Of the Democratic contingent was con-
centrated on securing votes for Con-
Nessman NJ N. Nicely. Offers from
Democrats to trade vote for Elkins
| for a vote for Nicely were not uncom-
workers, so far as they had instruc-
tons from their captains were IN
structed to work for Nicely and to for
get everything else. Ritter, the local
Democratic candidate for county COM
missioner, who was thought to have
a chance was lost sight OF, as was
PAUL., the Democratic candidate for
State Senator, along with Watson.
Some Democrats who protested to be
on the inside alleged that two or three
Democratic leaders, particular friends
to Mr.. Nicely. got control OF the or
ganization aud decided early TO get
| the votes for Nelly and to let Watson
! pay the blu.
A deal was made with certain So
cialistS and labor leaders for Nicely
; votes with the distinct understanding
| that these men should not support
Watson, but should have free rein to
cut him as much as possible. A rath-
! er curious spectacle was presented OF
men riding around in automobiles paid
| for by. Colonel Watson and getting
| their followers to vote for Nicely and
! Elkins- It Is rumored that at least
one or two OF the Democratic leaders
who had the handling Of Watson mon
ey have been summoned to Fafrmont
to explain. what they did and how it
happened, Exactly the kind of an ex-
| PLANTATION they had made would be in
| teresting, and perhaps the comments
Of Colonel Watson would be interest
ing should they be heard. To what
extent Mr.. Nicely was a partner in the
doublecross given Mr.. Watson is not,
! Of course, known. His supporters here
made their headquarters in and about
the Federal building and from the
Federal building the inspiration went
out, particularly to the second ward
and the fourth and fifth wards, which
resulted In large Nicely vote, but
which failed to add materially to the
Watson column. A careful analysis OF
the result would indicate that Colonel
( Watson had the privilege Of paying q
very high price FOR the cart in which
/ Mr.. Nelly rode home.

HE says he wishes he could, but he

from"
"How much sit goin' to take?" asked
Marthy heavily.

to hide her pride in the Importance Of
the subject. ''Fifty dollars, I guess.

larsw Marthy's tone was plainly bel
igerent.
"Got to pay interest" said Billy Lou
ise Importantly.
Marthy said not another word about
debts or the duties Of parents. What
she did was more to the point, how
ever, for she hitched the mules to a
rattlv old blackboard next day and
drove over to the Macdonald ranch on
the Wolverine She carried $50 in her
pocket, and that was practically all
the money Marthy possessed end had
been saved for the debts that harassed
her. She gave the money to Billy Lou
ise's mother and said that it was a
present for Billy Louise and meant for
'tschool money" She said that she
hadn't any girl Of her own to spend
the money on and that Billy Louise
was good girl and a smart girl, and
she wanted to do little something to-
ward her schooling.
A woman will sacrifice more, pride
than you would believe If she sees a
way toward helping her children to an
education. Mrs. Macdonald took the
money, and she promised secrecy-with
a feeling of relief that Marthy wished
it. She was astonished to find that
Marthy had any feelings not directly
connected with work or the shortcom-
ings of Jase, but she never suspected
that Marthy had made any sacrifice for
Billy Louise.
So Billy Louise went away to school
and never knew whose money had
made it possible to go, and Marthy
worked harder and drove Jase more
relentlessly to make up that $50. She
never mentioned the matter to any one.
The next year it was the same. When
in August she questioned Billy Louise
clumsily upon the subject of finances

''If that's the case the sooner you
are past the bgtl places the better. I'm
all right. You drift along"
Billy Louise speculated briefly upon
the note Of calm authority in his voice.
He did not know evidently that she
was more accustomed to giving COM
mands than to obeying them. Her lips
gave little quirk Of amusement at his
mistake.
"You go on. I don't want guide. y
He tilted his head peremptorily toward
the blurred trail ahead.
Billy Louise laughed little. She did
not feel in the least embarrassed now.

He said something, but Billy Louise
could not hear what it was. She sus-

in silence.
"Blue's a dandy horse on bad trails
and in the dark" she observed com
panionably at last. HE simply can't
lose his footing or his way"
Eyes? That's nice.''
Billy Louise felt like putting out her
tongue at him for the cool remoteness
of his tone. Il would serve him right
to ride on and let him break his neck
over the bluff if he wanted to. She
shut her teeth together and turned her
face away from him.
So, in silence and with no very good
feeling between them, they went pre-
cariously down the steep hill (the hill
up which Marthy and the oxen and
Jase had toiled so laboriously twenty
seven years .before) and across the tiny
fat to where the cabin window wink

deceived by the whirl of snow and
would have missed the stable entirely

patted Blue gratefully on the shoulder

with her fingers for the wooden peg in
