The ophoid fer^r situation in this

n an effort to discover the exact
source of every typhoid lev sr case in
h.s city. Within the next Tew days
ust as soon as containers can be revived
City Kealth Physician H. L.

'rom all suspicious wells in this city,
where it is believed that typhoid 'ever

The two recent tests of the city wa;er
by authorities of the state hygienic
aboratory at Morgan town show that
he city water is perfectly safe. The
tue specimen of well water from the

tuthorities marked "unsafe," which
with other indications lead health authorities
of Fairmont to bstieve that
nuch of the typhoid in this city liaa

Despite ilie fact that u:e water from
.he Shore well probably tastes betterthan
any other water in the city it is
lot safe to use and will no longer be

City Health Physician Criss this
norning stated that he is planning to
est the water used by every family in
Fairmont where there is a case of tyjhoid
fever and to test the water in
the popular Fairmont wells. He is of
the opinion that by making such an
nvestigation he will be able to deternine
the source of every typhoid case
n this city.
The typhoid germ is not breathed
>ut is taken into the body with either
the water or the food. The most comnon
means of contracting typhoid is
hrougii impure water. The city wa,er
is safe, but any other water used
s doubtful. In case the source of ty>hoid
fever in Fairmont is not deternined
by a thorough testing of the waer
steps will be t3ken to test the purty
of the food.

OF SERBIA'S WlliS
WL
Impressive Address Made!
Here by Wife of Ser- I
bian Diplomatist.
Before- an audience which packed!
to its capacity the large auditorium'
and. galleries of the Presbyterian
eh arch. Madam Slarka Grouitcb, aj
native West Virginian and now wire
of the Serbian ambassador to S*ltzeidand.
told in a realistic and conrineing
manner the history of Serbia's!
part in the earl ypart of the great
world war.
At the time the war broke out Mai
dam Groutfch, in company with Mrs.
; Grower Cleveland Preston, was atop
I pins? at ? summer resorc in owiucr- j
; land and Immediately upon learning I
i of the ultimatum which had been sent j
! to Serbia by the Austrian government j
j hastened to reach Serbia having en-1
I' countered many dlfficrflties in reaching
her post. After suffering many j
hardships Madam Groutich succeeded j
in getting together a little baud of:
i surgeons and nurses that accompanied
i her to Serbia and there under her,
j direction ministered to the wounded
j and dying Serbians. She told of the
i inedequacy of the bospitals at that
j time, of the scarcity of beds, bedding.
bandages, anesthetics and of the un |
j toid suffering of the wounded men
; who bad to be carr/ed miles through
j the dust before they could receive any
j medical attention.
I Madam Groati<_h laid great stress
1 on the fact that in the great rush ati
tendant upon the entry of the Euioipean
nations into the war Serbia was
practically forgotten and had to fight
j her first battles unaided and minister j
j to her sick and dying without assist!
ance from her allies. The American j
, Red Cross, she said, saw at ouce lite j
great need or Serbia and within a \
short time had one of its very best!
hospital units on the ground.
Despite hardships the little conn- j
try was called upon to bear, especial- i

never faltered but fought valiantly
and courageously for honor and right
and, according to the speaker of last
evening, -will never sue for a separate
peace no matter to what straits
< she is brought.
The husband of Madam Groutich:
Monsieur Gronticb, a distinguished ,
diplomat having served his country j
in several capacities in capitals or I
Europe including the court of St.'
James, received the ultimatum of:
Franz Josef and himself answered the '
I ultimatum. The refusal of Seribe to
j accept the ultimatum plunged the EuI
ropean nations into the great war
which Is raging at this time and in
which America is now involved.
Madam Grouitch was sent out by
the Serbian government to seek aid
in helping to rebuild destroyed Serbian
towns and to secure funds with
which .to educate the children of the
country. She first went to England j
j where 6he was received and given;
! substantial aid and later came to'
j America where she had visited tiia !
! larger cities with splendid results ana J
i is now making a tour of her native j
j State West Virginia. Madam Grow-:
itch was born at Clarksburg and finished
her education in Athens and It
was there she met her distinguished
husband and later was married to
him.
She is a brilliant woman and told
her story of the sufferings and heroism
of the Serbians in such a touching
manner that much sympathy was
evidenced by her large audience. At
the close of the evening a collection
wa a taken a part of which will be i
given Madam Groaitch for her work!
among the Serbians and a portion'
given to the local Red Cross chap- j
tor.
While the oolleclion was being ta-j
ken Madam Grouitch talked to her j
audience concerning America's entrance
into the war and predicted
that America would be the factor
which would eventually win the war

were depending upon the Initiative
and genius of the American soldier to
trio the tear. She told ot the Joy
with which the American soldiers
were received In France and ho*
their presence had cheered the drooping
spirits of the Frncb soldiers, already
weary rrom the fray, and ho*
they had picked up and renewed
their efforts. She spoke of the good
nature and excellent spirits and morals
of the American army and said
that their good humor and spirits had
done as much as their actual participation
in the war would do for the
Winning of the war. She spoke also
concerning the fact that there seemed
to he classes among American sol
I (Hers that officer* and privates were
all of one rank and praised the Americans
for the splendid type of citizenship
as represented by the soldiers.

j swore that her husband was at the i i
[ Jones residence on the night in ques-1
I tion. She placed the date as Decern- j
i ber 14 because her husband's mother i
I was very ill.
j The prosecuting attorney intimated .,
| that the defense had manufactured!
j testimony. He elicited the tact that, ,
Mrs. Jones called at his office yester-i
day on her own volition after which !
she was subpoenaed by the state. The J,
prosecuting attorney claimed that Mrs. i
Jones told him that tlie defense was !
endeavoring to get her husband to tes-1 ,
tify to a iot of lies. This she denied on
the stand whereupon the state's attorj
ney asked Iter "when did you get a
I change of heart ?" He also asked Mrs.

j completely?" after she testified that
j the defense had facts that were being

I She testified that she accompanied j '

| Joe Cantor, whom he claimed was mis- J (
! taken when he testified that the moon j
was shining. According to the alma- j
: nac there was a new moon on the morn- j ,
in^^f December 14. at 4: IT o'clock, i

er. was called. He testified that there
was a precipitation of C-100 ot an inch
and that at that time there was an ac- '
cumulation of an Inch of snow. Mr.
Hall said he did not appear in court as 1
expert in the matter of reckoning the 1
time of the rising and setting of the
moon. He intimated that was the J
work of an astronomer.
Harvey Jones, a brother of the accused.
testified that Manuel came to '
his home between 4 and 5 o'clock on '
the eventng of December 14. He and |'
his wife accompanied Manuel to the j'
Jones home. Harvey swore that he '
and Manuel hud played checkers and
dominoes that evening.
J. W". Amos, father-in-law of Harry i '
Jones, of High Lawn, testified that |1
Harry Jones had worked for him on;
December 14. He fixed the date by;
the erection of a house on his prem-1 I
ises. Harry worked for Mr. Amos ac-!
cording to the testimony. He claimed j
that Jones was not away from the j
house that eveni?g except once and |
that was to get some tobacco. Mr. |

that night and he gave Jones credit for j 1
the work he lwd done that day. ?i

he was not in the locality of the Anna-!
belle trolley stop on the night of De-I
cember 14. He denied that he told 1
Mrs. James Campbell that he had held j
up a man. He denied that he had vis- j
itctl Archie Morgan's store in Worthington.
Deputy Sheriff Ed. Slack testified
to making a tour around the vicinity
of Annabelle after the hold-up in
search of the guilty parties. Mr. Slack !
testified that on that night it was possible
to see a man 100 feet away, in
his testimony Zaslaff gave a rather detailed
description of the highwaymen
and Attorney Bell made an effort to
refute the complaining witness by
showing that it was too dark to see the
color of the shirt one of the highway- ]
men had on. J
Deputy Sheriff Slack testified that
Zaslaff described the highwaymen as
one wearing a cap and the other a hat.
He said the prisoner answered the
height of the description given by ]
Zaslaff. Slack admitted that there ,
might be a thousand men around the ,
county that would answer the description
as to height.
