Birch. To Remain In u. S. A.

Birch's second show here, We'd
nesday night of last week, drew
practically as large a crowd as did
the first night. They were the two
largest crowds in succession ever in
the Chautauqua building. If any
difference he put on the better show
Wednesday night. Following the
Wednesday night show, the ladies of
the American Legion entertained in
the American Legion hall in honor OF
Mr.. Birch. The guests numbering
about 100, were largely from out Of
town, who were here for the per-
formance. Dornfield, who was here
ience with his unique entertainment
features. An orchestra furnished
music, and dancing was enjoyed till
about 2 o'clock. The ladies of the
Legion Auxiliary served fine refresh
ments.
Mr.. Birch has definitely decided to
not go abroad this year as he had
planned This decision followed a
conference with Thurston, the ma
gician, who was here last week. Mr..
Thurston made it known to Mr..
Birch that he is to retire in couple
of years, and he then wants Mr..
Birch to take his shows This means
that Birch is to be Thurston's sue
cessor. Thurston figures that ii
Birch would spend year abroad the
people in America might forget him
to a degree. and he would have to
make his reputation over again, and
that by remaining in this country he
will advance much more rapidly.
Mr.. Birch will remain in McCon-
nelsville till in August, when he will
begin his work. His plans are to go
to the eastern states. Becker is to
be his booking agent, and if present
plans are carried out, Fred White
house of this place, who assisted
Mr. Birch in his performances here,
will be his assistant.

the torch blew out throwing kero-
sene about the room, which ignited.

ARRESTED, CHARGED WITH
THE THEFT OF COPPER WIRE

Following an almost all night
chase, by Sheriff Williams of Ath-
ems, and deputies, Sheriff Henery
and Marshal Drury of this place and
Dan Budworth, constable at Sharps-
burg, three men were arrested here
about A o'clock Friday morning,
charged with stealing copper wire
from the warehouse of the Canaan
vile Coal Co., Canaanville, Athens
county. About a week previous a
quantity of the same sort of wire
had been taken from the same place,
and watchmen were guarding the
place rather closely. Some time af-
ter midnight, Friday, light was
seen to flash at the place, and the
watchmen there made an attempt to
capture the trespassing parties.
However they made their escape,
and Sheriff Williams was notified.
He learned that they were head
ed toward McConnelsville. Con-
stable Budworth at Sharpsburg was
them, and called here giving the Of
ficers the tip to be on the lookout
for them, stating they were in an
iron bed truck He then started for
this place.
Sheriff C. B. Henery and Marshal
Drury at once went to the head Of
the Happy Hollow read to wait for
them, remaining there till after
three O'Clock, then reasoning that
they might have gone some other
way, they came back here, and had
just retired when Budworth called
to Sheriff Henery. Budworth had
passed the truck near Malta, and
being single handed did not arrest
them, but drove quickly here, and as
stated called the sheriff. They saw
the truck coming up street about az
the Herald office, and when in front
Of Dover Produce Co building,
Sheriff Henery went to the middle
of the street, and pulling his gun on
them, ordered them to stop, which
they did.
The truck which was a ton Chew
rolet, proved to have a wooden bed
on it, but in the bottom Of the bed
was about 500 pounds of copper
wire, such as is used on generators
Wrenches and other tools were also
found. yThe wire at junk prices
would have amounted to better than
500. Three men were in the truck.
one gave his name as Fred Clark,
and stated he was 80 years of age.
and that his home was at Cambridge.
A boy II years of age was with them
and he said his name was Edward
Leslie. The other. man, aged "a,
refused to give his name When ar
rested, Clark told the sheriff that he
resided here, down near the canal,
but when questioned about it by the
sheriff he changed mis- location
The three men were over night
and breakfast and dinner guests in
the jail. Friday forenoon Sheriff
Williams and his deputies. Retter
and Barrows, came here and took
the three back to Athens, also the
truck and wire. While here none OF
the men would talk much. After
the officers took the truck. here, il
was learned that it was not in gooo
running order, which accounted for
the delay in reaching here.
