NICK BOSTIC, DOUBLE

That Nick Bostick,. who murdered

ed there, but who turned out to be a
Greek merchant of that place instead
of the italian wanted.
That Mr.. Barber's theory may be
correct is rendered plausible by a
further explanation of the testimony
given at the coroner's inquest on the
Tuesday following the double murder
The taxi driver who took Bosttck

or more taxfcabs available right in
that neishborhood and gotten away

vicinity while Hhe sheriffs officers
were watching the interurban cars and

belief that the murderer is still in

MOST FOLKS SLID.
TO THEIR WORK N
FA|RM0NT TODAY
Streets Were Solid Sheet of
Ice Deposited During
Night.
FUN FOR SMALL PEOPLE
Father, And Big Sister Did
Not See 1t Exactly
That Way.
FUN FOR SMALL PEOPLE

The whole city is glare of ice!
"Well-say-this is one humdinger
of a day." was the remark made by a
youngster early this morning as he
slid on the pants provided by his par
ents and the seat provided by nature
down one of the slickest hill streets
in the city, from High to Jackson.
The children had a fine time and
some of them were sore" because
they didn't have time before school to
haul old ladies for nickel trip down
the hill and young girls and even a
few nervous men, all OF whom were at
tired in various ways in strenuous
effort to get the best of the mean
natured weather man who shook in
his boots last night while he painted
up the streets with a glare of smooth
ice all ready for the "fun" today.
And "oh, boy" as the kiddies say,
there was sure a lot of good times
took place all day, with q bit of bad
times, too, when backs were hurt and
heads were all but smashed and arms
were injured and autos went over
banks with multitude of other trou-
bles and small disasters reported all
over the city.
The walk in front of the fire depart
ment looks like springtime with full
{ dress OF loud green, where dust
down" has been scattered beautifully.
On Main street along about ten
o'clock the walking was easy enough
because every jack rabbit Of man
got out and shoveled and performed
operations OF other nature with salt
and sawdust and melting liquids so
that pedestrians travelled safe enough
Early today however Mrs. Spring OF
the Hays Flats, fell in front of one OF
/ the Ten Cent stores and suffers a bad
ly injured arm. c. E. Fleming and
one other gentleman helped the
woman home and sent for doctor
Other accidents also occurred.
A certain gentleman was handed his
w1fe's umbrella this morning to pro-
tect his head from whatever the
! Heavens took notion to do, but his
feet required greater protection even
than his head and as a consequence
the umbrella suffers a broken back
this moment.
Dr.. e. w. Howard took slide in
front of The West Pirginian office in
his automobile which ended over
against the Barnes building. An auto
owner unknown went over the wall
opposite the Catholic church very
early this morning, turning the car
upside down. Other cars everywhere
carened and slid and tureened until
drivers scarcely knew what fate await
ed them. Early all autos appeared
with chains and were driven mighty
slowly with every inch of the way felt
carefully. The weather today was de-
ceptive which was also part of the
joke played by Mr.. Weather Man,
With scarcely an exception every man
and woman who stepped out jauntily
for work today sat down in front OF
his or her own doorstep. Then began
a game of how long one could stand

HE|NzE { CO. TO
BUILD PLANT HERE
Will Invest 100000 at
Madison and Jackson
Streets.

Tuesday evening a detl was complet
es and cleaners of Fairmont and
Clarksburg, purchased the Carney es-
tate property at the south west corner
of Jackson and Madison streets.
Within recent months this corner
passed from the executors of the Car
ney estate to M. A. Jolliff and the
present transaction in the names of
aIenry Heinze and his son H. a.
!Ielnze comes as the result Of long
campaign to secure building site
within tho Fairmont business district.
The property is excellently situated
within but one square of the city's
busiest corner. 1t fronts S9h feet
On Jackson street and ITO feet on
Madison street and also runs through
to Dunbar street. At present it is oc-
cupied by a large residence and a
smaller cottage. H. A. Heinze, sec
Tetary treasurer and general manager
OF lHeinZe & Co., is authority for the
statement that 1t Is their intention i'm
mediateiy TO carry out plans they have
had in mind for many months. They
will build adyeing and cleaning plant
of considerable size and modern equip
ment; architects are now working on
1t and as soon as the weather permits
construction will begin.
The intention is to erect two or
three story structure equal in size or
possibly larger than the Clarksburg
plant Of the company, now rated the
largest in West Virginia. Every up
to=date cleaning and dyeing appliance
will be installed as means to better
handle their vast business in the
Northern end of the state. AT pres
ent the nearest and most important
plants, besides the Heinze & Compa-
NY home plant at Clarksburg are To-
Gated at Pittsburgh and Cumberland.
The Fairmont branch of Heinze
6 Company established about three
years ago serves a wide local and out
of town patronage.
L. F. Loughry is the local manager.
Mr.. Hainze stated that the completed
plant would represent an investment
of approximately 100000 and that so
far as possible it would be the policy
of his company to utilize Fairmont Ia
bor and materials in It's construction.
1t should be ready for operation early
next fall.
