STATE HISTORY.
(By (. E. Meredftf.)

Valentine Crawford wrote a letter
TO George Washington under date
Of May Z, 1874 in which he said:
Dear Sir: ! am sorry to inform
you the Indians have stopped all the
gentlemen from going down the Ohio
river. In the first place they killed
one, Murphy, a trader. and wounded
another; then robbed their canoes.
This alarmed the gentlemen very
much. Major Cresap took a party
OF men and waylad some Indians
in their canoes, who we're going
down the river, and shot two Of
them and scalped them. He also
raised party and took canoes and
followed some Indians from Wheel
ing down to the Little kanawha
when, coming UP with them, he kill
ed three and wounded several. The
Indians wounded three of his men,
only one of whom is dead. He was
shot through while the others were
slightly wounded"

HOLDUP MEN LISTEN TO
PLEA AND RETURN WATCH

McCoole, Md, March 31.-Mere-
dith Matlick. young man Of this
place. was the victim of an accom-
modating holdup men ON the Poto-
mac river bridge here at 1870 p. III.
last night. lie was returning home
here from Keyser when accosted by
Il white man and a negro, who pres
ented a revolver and ordered him to
hand out his yaluables. He told the
pair he had no money with him and
when the men went through his
pockets they found this was true,
but they took his watch and chain.
Matlick pleaded with the outlaws
for the return OF his watch, saying
it would be of little value to them,
but it was useful dis well as valu-
able to him. They then put the
watch back in his pocket, but adj
monished him to say nothing about
the holdup. Matlick. however, quick,
~ notified the authorities but no
trace of the highway men could be
found.

Notes
THE GREAT DAY.

THE GREAT DAY.
Before you go TO call on your
neighbor tonight we would suggest
that you make sure where he lives.
If one may judge by general actiy-
ity on the streets this week and the
prevalence of furniture vans, we
suspect your neighbor has moved,
and unless you make certain you
may ind some one else in his home.
The wide exchange of homes this
year is evidence supplementary to
the generally recognized fact that
the greatest need in Martinsburg to.
day, in so far as her capacity for
expansion is concerned. is homes.
Families are doubling up this year,
as many Of them did last year; and
there is still real need for homes.
What has been done to alleviate this
trouble is some help, to be sure. but
the problem is by no means solved.
Intensive home-building this sum.
mer will help but it will be months,
even at the most rapid rate of build
ing. to provide homes for all.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1921-12-09

The escape of the crew OF more than
fifty men from the sunken submarine
SAB after they hadS faced the posi-
bilities of horrible death, Gagged in their
compact tomb, reads like chapter
from fiction of the highly imaginative
sort. The fortunate position Of the
sunken craft only 20 feet beneath the
surface enabled tho, quick wits Of
someone aboard to conceive the idea
Of tightening the ballast on one end of
the craft so that the vessel tilted up
ward at sue, a sharp angle as to cause
the raised end to project out of the
water, making it possible for every
one of the inmates to Chamber ont into
the pure, if frigid, atmosphere on top
Of the water, there TO be rescued aft
er long hours of alternating hope and
despair. The writers of fiction are
losing their chance for vivid portrayal
by failing to take cognizance of some
of the facts that are taking place in
connection with submarine operation.
The submarine ranks with the air
plane as a possible source of colorful
story telling.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1921-12-09

The general impression Of the pres
ent winter weather thus far this season
is that the weather has been especially
kind to people in the Vermont lati-
tude; yet the official summing up of
the daily weather reports for No
yember shows that the average tenn
peratue was one degree below normal
and that the state has had practical
ly three feet of snow, or 1856 inches,
to be exact. In other words, it. has
been real winter, of the early season
variety at least, only we do not recog
nize it because of the knowledge of
weather events sure TO occur before
the mayfiowers begin to venture their
welcome blossoms in the chill air of
the early spring. Three feet of snow
make quite winter in and of them
selves.
