NUMBER -FOUR "UNLUCKY."

Toxic, Feb. 6.-The number four, in
Japan, it being pronounced 'shi',
which means death, is regarded as
most unlucky. The Japanese hospi-
tails avoid numbering room four.
People who are not superstitious,
however, prefer this very number be-
cause the room. being less frequently

KISAMORE

While Belington was just begin
ming to enjoy the approach Of another
Christmas tradegy occurred that
cast a shadow and chill over the
city when it was learned that Benja-
min Kisamore had shot himself with
a shotgun in his home in the rear Of
the building formerly owned by E.
Ware. The tradegy occurred about
2:30 o'clock Sunday morning, De-
cember "a. Domestic troubles, which
had been varying upon him for some
time, was the principal cause Of this
act. Sunday morning about 2 o'clock
after calling his wife and little chill
dren around him he did the awful
deed that ended his life. The body
was taken to the Phillips morgue and
prepared for burial. His relatives
were notified of his death and after
some delay the funeral was held late
in the evening Of the next Tuesday.
Interment was made in Fraternity
cemetery. He is survived by wife
and eight little children. The Kisa-
more family came to Belington from
the Dry Fork Of Randolph county
about two years ago. He was a
teamster, very hard worker and
appeared to be a good-natured sort
of fellow. His aged mother could
not attend the funeral. He came from
an honorable family and it is regret
ted and lamented that he ended his
life in such a tradgic way.

OPERATORS SEEK
ING A WAGE BASIS
Short Session Hello. H. Jenkins
One of Special Committee at
Work.

CHICAGO, Jan. ADJOURNMENT
of the first session of the joint con-
ference of bituminous coal operators
and miners this afternoon until 10 a.
m. tomorrow, was followed by a sepa-.
rate session of the operators in an
effort to work out some wage con-
tract plan to offer to. the miners.
A plan upon which working condi-
tions and wage agreements can be
placed before the joint meeting of
operators and miners from fifteen Bit
luminous coal fields of the country
was being sought here tonight by a
special committee of operators APP
pointed after the joint meeting adj
iourned. The committee was instruct
ed to formulate plan from discus
sions of the meeting and recort tosthe
operators tomorrow morning.
That the plan will be. different from
any previously submitted to the min
ers is indicated by operators who said
John Lewis, head of the miners, had
made it clear that the district plan of
settlement, sliding scale and arbitra-
ton submitted at special meeting
here in December and rejected would
not be considered at this meeting.
1t is the opinion of numerous OPP
orators that little difficulty would be
encountered in reaching an agreement
along the lines of the old central COM
petitive field, taking in western Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
were it not for federal indictments
which, one operator asserted, were
hanging over the heads of at least
half the operators present. Some also
advocate contracts keeping in effect
present rules and wages for a year.
A proposal that special commit
tee go before the fact-fnding commits
sion appointed by President Harding
and ask for the attitude Of the COM
mission and the administration as to
resumption of negotiations along this
line was met with much opposition on
the part of operators, who declared
such a move might be interpreted as
favoring interference by the govern
ment.
The special committee began work
on the plan to be submitted tomorrow.
Members Of this committee are:
Charles O'Neill, Central Pennsyl-
yania; John Donaldson, Western
Pennsylvania; E. Gould. Indiana; Har-
ry C. Adams, Illinois; w. 1. A. john
son, Kansas; Thomas X. Maher, Ohio;
C. H. Jenkins, West Virginia.

UNKNOWN MAN FOUND DEAD

An unidentified man was brought
% the undertaking establishment OF
b. o. Phillips at Philippi last Christ
mas eve who was found on the top OF
gondola coal car on the siding at
Boulder dead. The car Of coal on
which he was found was on fire and
it is believed that he crawled there to
get warm and was suffocated by the
monoxide fumes when it rained later
in the night.
He appeared to be a man in his
twenties and was dressed in ever
clothes and would weigh about lob to
175 pounds. He was left at the un-
dertaking establishment until Tues
day evening but at that time was stlli
en;dentified and was buried at the ex-
rense Of the county. No one seems to
know anything about the man or his
orioin or remembers of seeing him
about Boulder before finding him
dead Up to the present time the
mystery remains unsolVed.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Judge Full
Ter sentenced a boy of ~ years
to bring all his Christmas presents
into court and leave them there.
The boy had been in juvenile court
and was on parole.
On his last visit he presented an
excellent report from his teacher, and
Judge Fuller began to believe his re-
formation complete. Bur the boy saw
4 bicycle on a street and stole 1t,
claiming that he needed 1t to get a
Job as a messenger.
When brought before the Judge the
boy was asked whether he had receiv-
ed any Christmas presents. He said
he had a sled, an engine and cars and
other articles. He was sent home and
told to bring all his presents back
with him. This he did and then was
told to go home without them. He
left the court house with Redeemed
eyes after taking wistful look at
the bright red sled and the shiny en-
CINE and cars.

COMMUNITY XMAS TREE

AS planned the exercises in con-
nection with the community Xmas
tree were held at $50 Christmas eve.
A very fine and handsome tree had
been secured and erected in small
park adjoining the passenger station
The tree was beautifully decorated
with holiday trimmings and colored
electric-lights. A large concourse Of
people gathered early. A pleasant
surprise was in store for most of the
people for it was not generally known
that the Junior Band was to be pre-
sent and take part in the exercises.
They rendered a number of appropri-
ate selections in creditable manner
which added much to the program.
The opening prayer by Rev. Critics,
the short talk by Rev. Cost and the
singing by the school children and
people in general, directed by Mrs.
Deckard, was all very impressive and
pleasing.
The people Of Belington feel very
much indebted to Mr.. Chas Simons
for his interest, zeal and untiring
efforts in introducing and supporting
the movement which has made it pos
sible for Belington to have COM
munity Xmas tree the past two years.
Let us all help to continue this event
in years to come.

This well produces one-half million
feet and is $3.50 feet deep. 1t is also
stated that oil is near. The well was
drilled by the West Virginia Develop

BAD WRECK ON BELINGTON
ROAD

Thursday Afternoon bad automo-

road about three miles from Being
ton when big truck driven by HON.
er Payton, and blonging to the Day
ton Construction Company ran into
the Nash Sport car belonging to
Grant Wildman, Of this place and be-
ing driven by Graydon Willett.
According to the report which was
given by the occupants of the Nash
they were coming from Belington and
the truck was coming down the hill.
1t seems that the truck was on the
wrong side Of the road and the driver
did not see the Nash until it was
hit. Both the truck and the car was
thrown into the ditch. The Truck
with a broken axle and the Nash with
it's side and fender torn off.
Mr.. A. W., Polling and two grand
children, Mary and Newton and Miss
Annie Antle and Mr.. Wildman were
in the car and we're all cut and bruis-
ed around the body and face. Two of
them have been confined to bed for
the past two days but no serious re-
suits are anticipated.
From the aftermath of the wreck
it looks like. very luck strike as it
is almost unthinkable to believe no
one was KILLED -Philippi Republican.

JUNIOR BOY IS
SHOT BY HUNTER
Day After Christmas and Believed

Cor Rabbit.

Charles Greenleaf, aged Is, son
of Newton Greenleaf, farmer of
Junior, was accidentally shot while
hunting, the day following Christmas
and in the opinion of local surgeons
he has probably been totally blinded.
Young Greenleaf was hunting in
the woods near Junior when another
hunter installing him for rabbit
discharged his gun. Greenleaf was
facing the other hunter and received
the full discharge, at comparatively
short range, in his face number of
bird lodging in his eyes. Though he
was taken to his home following the
accident, it was two days before he
was taken to the Davis Memorial hos
pital at Elkins. There he was given
a complete examination and DIR. G. L..
Peirce, eye specialist, was also called
into consultation. It is believed that
the sight, of one eye has been lost be-
yond h doubt and it seems very prob
able that the sight of the other eye
has also been lost but in order to be
absolutely certain, DR.. Peirce started
to Baltimore with young Creenleaf
