The other stole a horse in Upshur

was recently captured near Charles
ton. He stole a One blooded horse
worth $225.
"The country in and about Weston
Ih a terrible section." added Mr. Kel
ler. "The other day I captured six
fellows wonted on the charge of
stealing thirteen hundred dollars
worth of ginseng I had given them
over in Char&C of another otticor and
started out to a little place to Ret two
other fellows, wanted on some charg
I or other. 1 missed the road and went
1 into some ^voods and pot lost. I was
about ten miles away from any house

wjm following along it. when I met a
fellow who seemed to he a native. I
nt;ked him what was* the name of J4ie
stream and he said he didn't know.
I said. '1 don't suppose you are a na
tive of this county then, are you?'
and he said 'yes, I live a few yards
away from the steram.'^l don't thinrc
much of that country, and I don't
want anything to do with it at (?11,
if 1 can help it."

NOT THE TEAM
BUTTHE RIG
The Cause of Horse and Buggy
Accident Says Mr.
Beer.
Mr. Beer, the Carnegie gas man,
seems to think the item in ^yesterday's
Telegram attributing his sore ankle
to a runaway s unfair to. the team
he was driving. lie says he has
been driving livery rigs throughout
the gas regions for years and has
never yet tound a team so incou.siu
erate as to try to run away, and he
has had them in all sorts of corners
?up against the cars, both steam and
electric, the racket of drilling wells,
the roar of gashes and aud the swish
of oilers, liieh water on bed of stream
roads, ditches and barbed wire fences
to jump, and all that sort of thing.
"No sir.," he says, "the team was j
going along on a level road and-iUc
lixtures that hold Ibe neck-yoke on
the pole broke, the pole point found
a hole in the road, th^ pole broke. |
and I was compelled to drive the
team eight or ten rods like a farm w
drives a team in a harrow, only that
the buggy bumped the heels of the
horses occasionally, but being livery
horses they merely kicked a little,
sometimes with one foot, oftener
with two. They spoiled the dash
board before they Hnally decided to
unhook the tugs an?J- leave the buggy
and driver. Then the buggy turned
over?the driver under?ankle bruis
ed and slightly cut and sprained. Al
ter which ' I walked two'miles aud
came in on the Short Line and visit
| ed Dr. Varner.
"Is there any law forbidding a liv
ery stable from sending out a buggy
that will net 'fall to pieces? Or
/ould there not be invented a safely
earner for neck-yokes?" asks Mr.
Beer.
These questions might Interest oth
ers besides the disabled victim.
' Hoy's Idfo Saved.
My little boy, four years old,.had a
severe attack of dysentery. We had
two physicians, both of them gave
him up. We then gave him Cham
berlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea
