Family Quarrel Leads
/. To Two Arrests

Placing both men under peace
bond C one hundred dollars each was
the only way Justice Musgrove saw
to settle question of veracity that
confronted him this afternoon when
he heard the complaint of Steve
Eakols, Mexican, of Rivesville, and
Charles Morgan, of Baxter. The two
men married sisters but seem to have
anything but fraternal feeling to-
ward each other.
Prosecuting Attorney Haggerty this
morning and asked for warrant for
the arrest of Morgan, whom he ac-
cused of painting a revolver at him.
All Eakols did, he averred, was to go
to Morgan's house to see his own wife
who was there TO visit her sister.
Yes, he had knife, he told Sheriff
Glover, who was present in the pros
ecutor's office, but it was only lit
tie pen-knife. No, he didn't have IL
with him.
Morgan, when brought in by Deputy
Sheriff Barrett. swore out a warrant
for Eakols, who he claimed had re-
peatedly made the statement that he
wasn't afraid Of any man who walked,
and always accompanied the remarK
with a suggestive motion toward his
pistol pocket. The little pen-knife
also grew, under Morgan's descrip-
tive powers, to the magnitude of an
automatic dirk with spring device
that caused tongue of cold steel
about seven inches long to appear
ready Tor business at moments mo-
tice.

CAR SHORTAGE
|SACUTETODAY
IN THIS REGION
There Are 11s Mines Idle on
the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad.

One hundred and nineteen mines
are idle today on the Monongah divi-
sion of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road as result of car shortage. The
percentage based on the early morn
ing placement today was 26. This is
the worst car shortage that has been
experienced in the Fairmont region
for some time. The most acute car
shortage that has occurred in Janu-
airy in, the region prior to this was last
Saturday when there were 118 mines
idle.
There are AL cars on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad today, although
there were 1910 cars ordered. To-
days cars are classified as follows:
Open, 436; coke, 5. The placement at
z o'clock this morning was 391. There
were IA cars left over from the pre-
vious day.
In the West Virginia district the
Monongahela railroad had a 35 pei
cent. car supply, there having been
159 cars placed by z o'clock this
morning. There were 1SS cars placed
in the Pennsylvania district. The car
supply on Friday will run between 10
and Is per cent.
For some time an acute car short
age was predicted for the mining sec
tions by the manager of the eastern
car pool and it would appear that the
Fairmont region is again feeling the
effects OF car shortage partially due
to tho general tie up of empties in the
middle west.
Last August the car shortage ex-
perienced here extended over several
weeks time, but the largest number of
mines that were idle because of car
shortage was on August s, when there
were 81 down.
Wednesdays Production.
Only 667 cars of coal and coke were
produced in the Fairmont region on
WednesdaS-662 cars of coal and 5
cars of coke.
Mines along the Monongah division
OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad on
Wednesday loaded 473 cars of coal
and coke-46S cars of coal and 5 cars
of coke.
Loading in the West Virginia dis
ginia district OF the Monongahela rail-
road totaled 1914 cars of, coal. 1t Is
evident that the mines along this road
would load many more cars IL they
could secure them as they loaded more
cars than the early morning place.
