 The object. which the council has in view is to remove the vexatious and un- Justified excesses by new regulations which would make it possible for pas sengers to take through trains in safety and comfort Representatives of all countries it was decided will be brought together at the end of October, and the different states will be asked to harmon ize their regulations with the necessities of travel

The Horror of the Woods.

Following the accounts that have
persisted FOR some months the ape,
babboon, gorilla, wild man, or terror
that has been reported at various
points from Pi.tsburg south, has ap-
peared and taken his habitation in the
dismal fastness OF Black Mountain
and there is something approaching
a panic in that part of the county, to
say nothing of the fearsome thing ap-
pealing strongly to the imagination of
every school child in this city. Those
who wander through the beautiful
woods surrounding this town are not
wholly at ease by reason Of the reports
that come in.
We have made some investigation
and we hear that hunter saw the
beast some weeks ago in blackberry
patch on Black Mountain near the
mouth Of Days Run. He makes no
mystery about it, and says that il is no
more or less than some apelke animal
escaped from a show and that il has
been hanging around the bountiful ber-
ry patches Of Williams River for food
He does not seem to have been partic-
ularly afraid Of it, and succeeded in
finding its nest and he said that the
beast had collected a lot OF railway
spikes from the old abandoned rail-
road at the Campbell Lumber Com
pany.
This carries out the theory of half
tame gorilla.
The next clear sight of the animal
was by a woman who lives near the
mouth of Days Run and she had a bad
scare. She was distance from her
house and the thing pursued her. She
ran home and slammed the door in its
face and called on two watch dogs to
drive the brute off. The animal wait
ed until the dogs came up and seized
and choked them to death one after
the other in few moments.
Repeated calls have come from that
section for the State Police to come
and capture or kill it. The appeal has
even reached Elkins, the Headquarters
of the force stationed in this part of
the State. The local force is prepar-
ing TO go TO the mouth Of DAYS Run to
investigate the matter one dav this
week.-Pocohontas Times.
