ed to Talk About
Price Tendencies.

Yesterdays announcement that a
mass meeting is to be held In the
County court room Monday night for
the purpose of stirring up interest in
a building campaign in Fairmont was
discussed quite generally in the city
last evening and the prospects are that
the meeting will be well attended.

lowing the publication of the invita-
ton to the mass meeting which was
signed by President Jacobs, of the
Chamber Of Commerce, President Ly.
die, of the Business Mems association,
President Robinson, of the Greater
Fatrmo1t Investment company. and
President Riggs OF the Fairmont Build.
ing and Investment company, It de.
veloped that considerable investiga,
ton and inquiry into the building sit
ustion has already been made and it
is altogether probable that some real
news about building that has already
been decided on Will come out at the
meeting.
Many of the dealers in building ma
terials have indicated that they would
be present either in person or be rep
resented by people who would be in
position to talk about market condi-
tions and price tendencies. 1t is be-
lieved that this will make the meeting

BOOTLEGGER CASE
WILL GO HIGHER
Supreme Court to Be Ap-
peaIed to on Second
Offense Charge.

Action in Circuit court this morn
ing vas not up to time. After some
argument it was decided to carry the
indictments against Claude Metz and
Fred Vendetta to the Supreme court
to be sure no mistakes had been
made. 1t is contended that as Ven
delta was tried for bringing in whis-
key before Justice Conway and sem
tence imposed, a second offense can
not be called felony charge. The
first offense was committed before a
law making second otfense felony was
made. Lawyers are determined to
fight for what they consider right in
the matter. Yesterday Judge Hay
mond ruled that trial be had. To-
day it was decided to take the matter
of indictment to the Supreme court.
Claude Metz is sick in bed today.
Vendetta is out on bond.

One Year Ago

Today Germany no longer exists

war machine has collapsed, and
the American army she sought to

INQUEST INTO
DEATH Of BILLY
NAY HELD TO-DAY.
Coroner's Jury Decided
That COra's Shots
Caused 1t.
TWO WITNESSES HEARD
Much Interest Continues to
Be Displayed in This
Case.

An inquest into the death OF Billy
May was held this morning in the
county court room with Coroner Lloyd
md the following Jurors present. G. 2.
Brand, c. H. Duncan, E. C. Scott, W.
g. Gould, Thos. X. Jones and l, N.
Tough.
Only two witnesses were examined.
Charles Moore, age is. colored, te5ti-
HE'D that ne sat near the scene of the
shooting. He said Cora May, Billy's
wife came downstairs with gun
concealed in her bosom and went be-
hind the counter, not many feet from
where he sat by the stove. He testi-
fled that she shot six times at her
husband and that Billy exclaimed "oh,
I've been shot"
Dr. Ramage testified that Billy was
wounded In three different locations,
temple, shoulder and abdomen and
that the abdomen wound killed him
because the abdomen swelled, causing
heart failure. After about an hours
session, a verdict Of death caused by
shots fired by Mrs. May was rendered.
Much discussion is taking place about
the city in regard to various phases
Of the May situation 80 far. Attorney
J AIRY Shaw who will represent Mrs,
May is busy getting together the evil
dence in favor OF his client, while
Prosecuting Attorney Haggerty is also
hard at work getting his material in
the best form.
An effort will be made to prove that
Mrs. May was not legally married to
Bflly. II she is proved merely COM
mon law wife. she will not be entitled
to money which Billy is suspected Of
leaving. Inquiry was made this morn.
ing as to executor TO be appointed to
look into the state Of Billy'S affairs.
Some believe that sum large enough
to carry on the business Of the May
restaurant must be on deposit some
where. Men who had business deal
ings with Billy when he used to be
cook in the city say he was a man
who always kept good watch and a
fine looking ring and always liked to
dress we'll. but that he was not very
liberal with anyone else.
It is said that Cora did not stay
with Billy all Of the time but frequent
ed CHER places and was sometimes
away several months at time and
that Billy objected to this. She is
said to have many admirers. John
Cobb who owns half Of the May res
taurant may have something to say
about the disposal of what remains for
Cora. It is reported that the build
ing itself is not entirely paid for so
that number say that if this is so
and there is money, it will be eaten
up IN this manner.
Many rumors and conjectures are
arising. Mrs. May will have hear.
ing before Justice Conway Monday
afternoon. From the time her hear.
ing starts until final trial before Judge
Raymond, much interest will be cen
tered on the outcome.
