Interesting Affair.

There was a good deal Of interest
manifested this week in the peculiar
actions Of two white men and a colored
man who seemd TO have been strand
ed in an automobile on the lower pike
short distance south of Shepherds
town. Their car broke down Monday
morning, and instead OF having il
brought 10 town or asking for assist
ance at one of our garages, the men
remained with il and kept il closely
guarded until another car came along
when they abandoned il and drove
away. Two theories were advanced t:
One was that they had an Illicit cargo
OF liquor which they transferred TO the
second car, and the other that the car
was a stolen machine. II bore Vir-
einia license. Upon instructions from
Prosecuting Attorney Porterheld, Con-
stable Willis Crowl took charge of the
abandoned car and brought il TO town.
yesterday truck came from Hagers-
town to get the car and tow il away
whereupon Constable Shiplcy arrested
the young colored man who had come
along for the machine. He told a
vague sort of story, the purport of
which was that ne had come from
! Roanoke with the two white men in
two cars, bound for Baltimore; that
one of the cars had broken down al
Fishers Hill, Va, and that the other
car stalled near Shepherdstown. He
professed TO know nothing in regard
TO the business Of the white men
Later in the night however, under the
persuasion of Constable Shipley, he
told what he said was the truth CON
cerning the matter He said that they
had carload of liquor, which the
white men were taking from Roanoke
TO Baltimore; that when their car
went bad here the liquor was trans
ferred TO another car, in which they
took it to an address on Popln street
in Baltimore. He said that one OF the
white men was William Terry. of Bal
timore, and the other was ]. r. Mason
of Roanoke.
This morning Constable Shipley re-
lated the circumstances in detail to
Stuart w. Walker, Of Martinsburg. u
S. District Attorney, who told him
TO turn the negro loose, stating that
unless the liquor was found in the car
there could be no prosecution. There
upon the colored man was given his
! freedom.

Up Goes the Price.

The Martinsburg daily papers, the

do but put up the price, il they are
to continue in business. The cost of
print paper is now almost five times as
much as it was a few years ago. The
last order of news print paper bought
by the Register was at Sll.50 per
hundred pounds. We used TO get il
for S2.40. There's a great scarcity at
that, and we haven't been able to get
enough for next weeks supply at THE
writing. The weekly papers thro: oh
out the country generally have out
their prices up to two dollars ar,
and il looks as if this will have to be
the prevailing price in this section al
so. During the past year more than
2,4OO county newspapers in the United
States have been forced to suspend
publication because of the unfavor-
able conditions. The Register, which
has been a weekly visitor to the homes
OF the people of this community for
more than seventy years, hopes to
keep going as usual. but il will need
the hearty support and encouragement
OF IFS friends all along the line.

TROP|C EXPLORERS RETURN CLASH WITH
 GIANT CAN|WbALS
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire]


 NEW YORK, May 1.-The explor- ing party, headed by Dr. Alexander Hamilton Rice, which clashed last February near the banks of the Orin- oco with giant cannibals, returned here today from Para on the steamer Albap..
 Arriving with pr. Rice were Mrs Rice, Chester H. Ober, geographer of the expedition; A w. Swanson, J. E. Mason and Dr. c. F.. Byers.
 While exploring an unnamed tribu- tary of the Orinoco river, Dr. Rice's party was attacked by wild Indians. They discharged firearms to scare off these saVages. who were described as large and very fierce.
 The explorers only escaped, it was said. by firing into the savages, kill ing either two or three. The party or the advice of the guides, then turned back. Mrs. Rice was not with her husband on this particular occasion, however. She travelled with the party as far as Esmerelde Brazil, penetrat- ing farther into the Amazon wilderness than any other white woman. During the trip, the Rio Negro and other out let's of the Amazon were expored ancs charted as we'll as the Casquiare canal and the upper Orinoco. Dr. Rice said.
 ''The canni5als who attacked the party were almost white in color Pro- lessor Rice said. Tn all my years in the tropical jungles I have never seen such ferociouS looking SayageS. Nearly all were armed with bows and arrows and carried spears and blow guns. These men were more than six feet tall, and I recognized them as canni- bals of the Guaribos tribe, mountain legion considered the most ferocious of all the savages in either Colombia or Brazil"
 The professor declared he believed 1t was the first time these cannibals were met by white men since 1763. when a Spanish exploring expedition discovered them.
