charge, of carrying concealed weap-
Ons, was released Friday afternoon,

1t is stated. that young Helrigle
drove to the farm of Albert Singree,
near Neelyville, and asked to buy
some gasoline. AS Mr.. Singree had
an extra supply on hand he furnish
ed the boy several gallons. Helrig-
lie is said to have then claimed that
he had no money and when Mr.. Sim
gree demanded payment, he drew a
revolver and threatened to shoot
the farmer if he were molested.
Helrigle was later arrested
about one mile south of McConnels-
vile, by Sheriff Stallsmith. The
boy was taken to the Morgan county
jail in McConnelsville where he was
detained until Friday afternoon.
A. J. Helrigle, father of the boy,
went to McConnelsville and Friday
paid Mr.. Singree for the gasoline
furnished his son. He stated that
the boy had taken the machine

Hon. Elias Millen Stanbery pass
ed away this morning at $3.50 at
his home on Eighth and Liberty
street. Death was due to heart
trouble. While his health had been
failing for some time, of late his de-
cline had been more rapid. How
ever, he attended the funeral Tues
day. afternoon of O. w. Gillespie.
This ordeal greatly taxed his
strength, and probably fastened his
death. He was taken worse this
morning about o'clock. He was
80 years of age, his birthday being
April 10. With him when the end
came were his wife and two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Lizzie Alderman of Nc
Connelsville and Mrs. Leila Tim
herman of Columbus. Mr.. Stanbery
was one of the wealthiest and most
prominent men in this section of
the state Because of his death
coming SO near our time of going
to press. we will not attempt to give
now sketch covering his long and
busy life. This will appear in our
next issue.
Funeral services will be held at
his late residence Saturday at 1870
p. m. Interment will be made in
