THEY HAD A BIG fish FRY

nd you attend the big fish fry sup
per and entertainment given by the
Lions club at the Thomasville station
on the Frying Pan Wednesday eve
ming when the local Boy Scouts were
the special guests of the club? If you
answer in the negative We'll say you
were out of luck, for this proved to be
one of the most delightful affairs of
the season.
Some time ago the Lions club decided
to interest themselves in the Boy
them in making their organization all
that it should be to the group of boys
composing that worth while organiza-
ton
The plan was good one and worked
out most successfully, and reflects great
credit upon those having the affair in
charge.

of the local Boy Scouts troop boarded
the Mcdonald -Switzer red truck on
which had been loaded boxes and buck
cts of "eats," and with Morgan Cav
in at the wheel the trip to the Thorn
asviile camp was made with safety
and to the great enjoyment Of the boys.
Under the supervision Of G. NJ. Hun
ter the Scouts set to work to clean up
the camp, scrubbing the cabin, remov-
ing brush from the grounds, building
benches and otherwise putting the
property in good order. After the
midday meal, some of the party made
trip to Woods lake where P. ]. En-
glebrecht supplied them with a fine
lot of trout for the big supper in the
evening.

At this point J. F. Mccoy made a
motion to the effect that the Lions
placard the road from Basalt to Thorn
asvile with signs reading "Ftom Ba-
salt to the Lions Den.'
After a song by the audience the
meeting was closed for the big fish

before female jury the charge Of
having fifteen wives and an equal

OGDEN WILL Be
HERE This WEEK
Will Spend Night Here on
Thursday---PoIiticaI Dope
on Senate Race.
BY THE WATERMAN

Herschel C. Ogden, Wheeling
publisher, a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for United
States senator, will be in Fair
mont Thursday evening of this
week, it was learned mere today
Mr.. Ogden will arrive here on the
$3.50 train from Wheeling Thurs
day evening, and VIII remain at
the Fairmont Eotel until Friday
morning, when he will go to Nor
gantown He will be pleased to
meet any of his local friends at
his rooms in the hotel on Thurs
day evening, and it is thought
that a large number of local peo-
pie will turn out to greet the can
didate.

near, the candidates for the
Democratic nomination for United
States senator are still securely

simply a conjecture or possibly
the Huntington writer has the
right dope. At least, far be it
from me to contradict him, for I
have no knowledge to the con-

the time is at hand when a fit

Non-Union Miners of Hughes
8 Mine Threatened One
Man Jailed.

For the second time since the
nationwide coal strike was called
April I, Sheriff James D. Charlton
and members of his force were
yesterday called into action to stop
trouble by men said to be union
miners, and as result Guy More
manr is a prisoner in the county
iaiI and county officers are today
searching for number of other
men.
The trouble this time occurred
near the Hughes mine of the East
Side Utilities Co., on the Mononga-
hela Railway near this city. The
mine is working open shop, and
yesterday evening, when the non
union miners were returning to
their homes from their days work
in the mine, they were accosted by
twenty 10 twenty-five men from
Norwood, Ilivesville and Shaft.
who, it is said, asked the men to
join the United Mine Workers of
America and to quit work.
When the men refused, it is said
that the men who stopped them
threatened that if they returned
towork today there would be 1000
men there tomorrow to shoot up
the place. The men returned to
work this morning, and the mine is
operating today as usual.
Information from the mine today
was to the affect that all was quiet
and that the mine was working as
usual. County officers are keeping
in, close touch with the situation
and are ready to act if any trouble
develops today.
Following, the trouble yesterday
afternoon, some of the men stopp
ed by the men who marched to the
spot near the mine and intercepted
them appeared in Magistrate j. l..
Blocher's court and asked for war
rants for number of the men who
stopped them, charging them with
threatening bodily harm. The war
rants were placed in the hands of
Sheriff Charlton to execute. and
he. and his deputies started out in
search for the men designated in
the warrants.
After a search of several hours.
Guy Moremann, one Of the men
wanted, was found at his home off
Raymond street in the East Side
brought to the city and locked up
in. the county Jail. In default of
bond, he will be detained in the
Jail until he is given a trial on the
charge. 1t likely that the other
men named in the warrapts will be
picked up today or tomorrow.
The situation is quiet today at
other mines in the section where
trouble has occurred at various
times in the recent past. It seems.
that the men pick a. new mine
each time they make an effort to
stop operations or to get the men
to join the union.

no HAVE CITY LEAGUE

MANNINGTON,s June 6-Mann-
ington baseball fans who knew the
old-time leagues that played here
will have another to draw their
attention this year if plans now
under way mature.
A meeting was held Sunday to
discuss the organization of city
league compromising six teams,
and prospects are favorable, it is
said, for the success of the plan.
These teams will play three
games weekly, in the evenings,
thus giving an opportunity for
each team to have one game each
week. Each team is to furnish a
list of fifteen players, and these
names will be recorded by a COM
mittee or board. No player who
has played with one team will be
eligible to play with another team.
That is, no man can play for more
than one team.
1t is proposed that all collec-
.tions be turned over to the board,
and this board will furnish all the
supplies.
Another meeting is to be held
Wednesday night, and further
plans will be made toward the
organization of this league.

Letter to the Editor
THE BAND QUESTION.

MANNINGTON, June 6.-(Edi-
tor The West Virginian) In
reference to the checks mentioned
in Mr.. Snodgrass' letter in yester-
days issue of the paper, will say
that no local MUSICIAN received
one cent of this outside May 80,
1921 Will also say this should
rot have cost the Legion one cent,
and the local Legion could have
used the band here all forenoon
and gone to Fa:rmont and had
some use of the band at the Fair
mont committees expense.
However, the results were that
the Legion committee said
no" they wanted to hire the
band. When in communication
with the Fairmont committee we
were to furnish a twenty-five piece
band This necessitated sending
to Wheeling for six men, which
added extra expense. This was
explained to the Legion commit
tee, and they approved.
The $50 check referred to,
made payable to Bert shrimp, was
for these six men and their e1-
penses. So the results were that
on this date the Legion spent
$2OS for a band to assist Fair
mont with their parade, yet the
Fairmont committee was willing
to hire the band.
The check referred to for s199
was money borrowed from the
Bank of Warrington to pay the
balance of this bill The check
for SIS was for Roy Cunningham,
cornetist from Fairmont, for the
Hays funeral. The check for
S33.4O was for the men from
Wheeling. The check for $6.46
was for carfare for the band
from Warrington to Shlnnston.
For this amount there was no Dill
rendered. The committee said
they wanted to pay this amount
outside the amount on this trip.
One member of the band bought
three meals for the band and was
glad to do so. Any of the above
statements I think the committee
in charge at the time this nap
pen will verify.
In reference to the expenses OF
the band May 80, 1921, there is
no criticism due the band. On
all occasions as to the checks
mentioned, this was met with the
approval of the Legion commit
tee in charge at the time men
toned
In reference to the check for
$50 from the minstrel show, the
minstrel show was put on as
benefit show under the auspices
of the band and Legion. WeSwere
to furnish the band and orchestra
and had committee to assist.
All financial arrangements were
in the hands Of the Legion com
mittee, which was satisfactory.
The Legion and band were to split
the proceeds, so the check Tor
$50 was the bands amount der1v-
ed from this show.
If any of these statements are
not true we will stand corrected.
This is no comment on the letter
written by Mr.. Snodgrass, only
statements showing how the
checks were used.
The S199 check referred to
was an error, as the check was not
this much. Mr.. Snodgrass says
this Is a misprint-
Mr.. Snodgrass seems to blame
the management. II he thinks ne
can tell the members OF the band
when and where they must play
gratis he can get job. Any time
Mr.. Snodgrass desires to hear the
band, either Mr.. MCGOWAN or MI
Parrish can given him each mem
ber's name, and he can see each
member personally, and then he
will understand more about con-
ditions.
