LARGE NUMBER OF ENTRIES
FOR THE CHARLES TOWN
HORSE SHOW.
Aeroplanes To Be Here.

| The entries for the Charles Town
| Horse Show closed yesterday. The
great array of prizes and premiums
offered by the Association has result
ed in there being much larger num-
Der of entries this year than at any
previous exhibition.
Some of the entries are:
(Little) Joe Wiesenfeld, of Balti-
more, twenty-five entries in harness,
saddle and other classes.
w. Lodge Bowles, of Wildwood, Va;
several entries.
A. g. Welsh, several entries.
A. H. Allen, of Washington, some
crack jumpers.
Charles Mercer, in roadster class.
7. J. Campbell, Roadsters.
Thomas Swami, of Lovettsville,
Va, serveral entries. Jumpers, &c.
H. H. Keller, of Virginia, colts.
G. S. McNeally, of Virginia, several
entries in saddle classes.
G. S. Garner, speedway.
Packet Brothers, severl entries in
runabout classes.
The management is assured that
there will be three aeroplanes here,
and perhaps FIVE, and that thehying
exhibitions alone will be well worth
coming long journey to see.
The officers of the Association have
put forth special effort this year to
make the coming exhibition this year
the best yet held by the Association,
and it seems that they have succeeded
for beyond their expectations, if the
largely increased number of entries
count for anything.
We have no doubt that the bulk of |
the people Of Jefferson and surround
ing counties, with many from dis
dance will be present on both days of |
The exhibition, and that old Charles
will be called upon to entertain the |
greatest crowds ever within her bor-
lers.
Don't forget the dates, Wednesday |
and Thursday of next week, August |
l3 and IA, and make your arrange.
nents now to be on hand.

The apples from the orchards on
three farms near Charles Town were
sold a few days ago, being about the
first big transaction in the fruit in
dustry this season. Messrs. J. ID.
Dutterer, his son, Mr. Henry Dutterer
and son-in-law, Geo. B. Zinn, are the
growers who parted with their crops.
Messrs. Frank B. Robinson, w. r.
Alexander and E. E. Cooke, are the
buvers who have agreed to pick, pack
and deliver the apples from the or
chards. The consideration was Sir
600 for the fruit on the trees. The
three farms are expected to yield
from 5000 to 10000 barrels.

Sydnor has a pleasing manner and a
splendid delivery. Rev. A. c. Hop

At the special session of the Epis-
copal Council of the Diocese of West
Virginia held in Parkersburg, to con-
slider the proposition to divide the
diocese, it was decided that here
should be no division at this time.
IN +b;s action the council followed the
recommendation of the diocesan COM
mittee, which was appointed to in
vestigate the matter and which re-
commended thot no division be made
at this particular time. 1t recon-
mended a division of the diocese at
some time in the future when the
strength is developed sufficiently fol
the northern and southern sections te
care for themselves. In the mean
time it is likely that bishop coad
tutor will be elected when opportun
ity is given.

CROWLEY HOME, EAST Of I
CITY, DESTROYED BY FIRE
scw Apparatus Saves Adjoining
Buildings-Some Furniture
Recovered.

The home of Mrs. Thomas Crow
ley, Turner and East Fourth streets,
just outside of the city limits, burned
to the ground late Wednesday after
noon. Mrs. Crowley was in Tacoma
at the time the FIRE broke out and
there was no one in the house. The
fire department was summoned by
one Of the neighbors but when it ar
rived. the house was too far gone to
be saved.
The fire department was called out
at 4 o'clock and spent two hours in a
strenuous fight to save the surround
ing buildings and homes. The new
pump OF the Olympia FIRE department
received its first big test at the fire
and the flremen and spectators were
both firm in their statements that
unless, the big pump had been in ac-
tion many of the surrounding homes
would have burned down.
Little of the household furniture
was saved. Mrs. Crowley is the
widow of the late Thomas Crowley,
who was recently killed when run
over by an automobile.

SEATTLE MURDER CAR
FOUND At M'cLEARY
FOR HIRE AUTO, WHOSE OWNER
WAS SLAIN, BURNED INTO
CHARRED WRECK.

The charred wreck of the seven
passenger car in which Thomas Ryan,
Seattle for-hire automobile driver,
was slain on the Pacific Highway
bridge at Duwamish station Monday
morning, was found that night near
McCleary, 20 miles west of Olym-
pia. The tires had been stripped
from the car, brush piled in it, gaso-
line poured on, and then the mass set
afire.
The slayer of the auto driver evi-
IDENTIFY believed he had secreted the
body so that no trace of it would be
found until he had ample time to
escape and that he had thought to
make his escape doubly certain by
burning the car so as to hide its
identity. The body of the slain driver
was found by boy under the Du-
vanish bridge, 80 feet below the
road, shortly after noon Monday,
with two bullet wounds in the back
of the head.
Identification of the car was made
through its engine number. With
the discovery of the destroyed ma
chine, Deputy Sheriffs Stewart Camp
bell and Herbert Beebe of King
county. who had been securing the
countryside in the nighborhood OF
Tacoma, were notified and came to
Olympia.
The officers believe the slayer OF
Ryan was making his way toward the
Grays Harbor district and either
boarded Northern Pacific train for
that place at McCleary or some near
by station, or obtained lift from
another autoist who found him in his
dilemma of a burned car. The local
Grays Harbor authorities were given
a description Of the slayer. but no
arrests have been made.
