| Miss Annie Gahnberg, aged 3G
 years, of Broadview street, Maple Hill
 met q horrible death shortly before ' o'clock last night, when she was
 struck and instantly killed by a Hart

A short time later, Carl Gahnberg. brother came in and made known the fact that woman had been killed by trolley car. When he was told that his sister had not reached home, a search was institut- ed. After being viewed by Medical Examiner Dr. Waterman Lyon of this city, the body was turned over to Undertaken Frank Brodzick of this city. This was done, because at the point near where the accident hap pened, there are a number of Polish people residing.

 The troops rushed to Cooper Lake early this morning to investigate re- ports of the presence of men wadinf in the water that was being explored for the bodies of two missing men. returned here several hours later.
 Captain w. w. Cooper announced that the men fired on by the guards had disappeared and investigation after daylight failed to throw further light on the purpose of their visit to the lake
 The theory was advanced that the men were attempting to remove the bodies of Watt Daniels and Thomas Richards, believed to have been yic- tims of hooded men and that particu- lar part of the lake will be given especial attention by the explorers to- day.
 Outbreak is Feared
 Notwithstanding reassurances of Captain Cooper that the order for ad- troops was merely to relieve some of the men now on duty for Christmas the impression seems to be growing that serious outbreak in Mer Rouge is probable.
 Persons in position to know say here are heavy stocks of rifles, shot guns and other weapons and ammu- lition stored in residences and stores md that it would take but spark to Sindle into bloodshed the intense feel- ng said to exist between hostile fac ions in the community which during, he last few days has been augmented y the presence of state troops.

The Greatest Serial

We know more of Bluefied. West Virginia be-
use of the troubious situation in the coal fields of
shat region for some months past. But Bluefied is
being put on the map in another way 1t has a
newspaper. and a good one the "Bluefield Daily
Telegraph" which in its general appearance does
not differ much from other good newspapers 1t has
an Associated Press report 1t fairly we'll covers the
field of sports, finance and industry 1t covers the
adjacent towns and neighborhoods. 1t has the fea-
lures that well-reguated newspapers usually have
and it has one that no other newspaper that we
know of has.
1t is printing in instalments serial story which
has generally if not universally escaped the notice
of newspapers and syndicates whose main busi-
ness is to tempt newspapers with their features 1t
Is strange too that this story has been overlooked
for it is the most thrilling story in all the world
This shows how blind we humans are going about
so intent seeking for the inferior that we miss
the better things. But we doing that all the
time every day. If man is digging potatoes he
might easily overlook diamond because he is only
looking for potatoes; his eyes and mind are gauged
only to potatoes.
The story which the Telegraph is serializing is
one which details the horrible of human trage-
dies No such other story of love and adventure was
ever written. In no other have human passions
been faithfully recorded
1t is the story of the New Testament printed
daily under the title Read the Bible With Us Today
The first nstallment was printed on May 2 and
the approval of readers from every section of the
United States has reached the Telegraph by letter
or by wire--not only from church but from law
yers. doctors and people of all walks of life
Presumably all of them had the story in book
form and could have read it, but it never before
so brought to their attention They did not know
how enhancing, it was until it was told to them
through the daily press
