OFFICER HOLMES FLASHED ONE Id Landing Frank Damn, Who Later Straggled to 17m Hi* Big Colt'* Revolver?The Officer Af?1?t?rt by "Walljr" tokens and Hugh XcTad. den?The Arrest Waa the Pint of the New Tear. Nervy "Jimmy" Holmes, the lightweight of the police force, had an exciting experience last night about 7:30 o'clock. He waa deputed by Chief Clemans to bring to the chiefs office, a stranger who has been acting suspiciously since he came to Wheeling Holmes met hlr I > auuui icti u?j. II man at the corner of Sixteenth and < i Main street*, and the fellow objected to i the officer's Invitation; In fact, he i > showed fight, and noon both men were 11 encaged In a lively tussle. Holmes i . drew his revolver and the souffle ati I traded to the scone, Night Watchman i > "Wally" Lukena and Mr. Hugh Mc' Fadden, who assisted In forcing the i stranger to Journey to the city bulld' 1 Ing. i > The party had reached Chapttne ' ' street, when the prisoner mode a des1 ' perato attempt to draw bis gun. and while Holmes held him by one arm, I McFadden clutching him by the throat. Lukens wrenched the weapon irom m* hand. It was a large Colt's revolver. 44-cnliber and loaded In all Ita ilx chambers. The fellow gave a* hla name aa Frank Duma*, and he claimed to be a book agent hailing from New York. The police labor under the Impression that he haa had something to do iv!th the attempts made Sunday and Monday mornings, shortly after midnight, to rob McFadden'a store, on Market street, but as they are without any positive evidence, the only charge likely to be preferred against Dumas Is for .carrying concealed weapons. Holmes was dodged several times last night by him, although the offlcer was attired <ln civilian clothes. Local crooks, it Is said, have been associating with Dumas during his stay here. The arrest, by the way, was the first for 1900. Dumas claimed to have papers at a Second ward hotel that would bear out his book-agent story, but It I Heveioned that he hadn't stopped at ,. this place nines December 28, and ,,, nothing belonging to him was left In i, the room he occupied. six "Berate lies '< > Sprang by the Market Street After- | M * math Conclusively Controverted H} by the Intelligencer?It Was a ]> Scoop That Cut to the Heart ? A* (> Possible Trip to Weston. The Intellfgencor dislikes exceedingly ?Sn to enter upon the New Year by waging iiny sort of controversy with the Mar=?' ket Street Aftermath (otherwise the Register), and for several reasons, prominent among which is the dislike of readers to be compelled to read auch rot, but there is a present instance of such glaring unscrupulousness and audacity that it cannot be overlooked. In yesterday's issue the Register, referring to the Intelligencer's exclusive I publication of the sale of the Behwood Southern railroad to a syndicate, composed of gentlemen Interested In the Wheeling Railway Company, said: Not "a few weeks ago" but ten days ago, , the Intelligencer published the statement, In a6 many words, that the Wheeling ! Hallway Company had purchased the Ben) wood & Moundsvllle line. This was untrue, but the correction was,never made, and *. the readors of the Intelligencer were left f under a false Impression. Tho publication excited the greatest Indignation among business men interested. as the Intejllgencer very well knows, but this fact wm also withheld from the public. Now the Intelligencer man once more enters the arena > to say that "the purchasers are as announced In the Intelligencer previously," which is another untruth, and follows this up by misleading the public once, more when it says: "It would seem that the day I Is not very far distant when tho two roads 1 will be consolidated." The two roads will not be "consolidated" because they can- ; not be. So much for Intelligencer accur? acy. * ? It may bo added that the Register pubIfshed the fact that control of the road had , passed, two days before the Intelligencer .f discovered the matter. I Now It's quite easy to dispose of the | T)nn>lal?r'i naiortlnnil? First?"Not 'a few weeks ago' but ten ? days ago," says the Register. The publication In the Intelligencer, stating as aru- u positive, fact that the sale had been made, was In the issue of November 2S, Bec" which*Is 'a few weeks ago,* Just five thth weeks ago. In fact. The Register cal[hlh endara must need winding up. Second?"8tated In so many words that the Wheeling Railway Company had purchased the line." again says the 8Ur" Register. That Is misrepresentation ? V? '> frtf Mm Intnlllfrnni*nr stnrv wn fn C K ?'? the effect that the line had been acquired by gentlemen who. also happen Hub. to i,e directors In the Wheeling Railway iilrd Company. Third?"The publication excited great Indignation among business men Internty estcd," walla the Kegiater. The Indlgf{jj nation, perhaps, was confined to the ula. Register office, such a scoop scored by the opposition naturally creating some >t. excitement and a mutuality of hair pulling and crimination among the tlty young men who are alleged to "cover the news of the day" for the Afterom rea. Fourth?"The Intelligencer onco more 50c enters the arena to say that 'the purup. chasers are as announced In the IntelEly flgencer previously,* which Is another inR untruth," remarks the Register But and Is It an untruth? Is It not a fact that the purchases, ijre, as the Intelligencer stated on November 28, gentlemen who are Interested In the Wheeling Railway r.TW. . *>-?l.|A. .Inn.V It '} v Uiii|inii/ .
