W. M. McGALLEN DEAD.
A Prominent Citizen Passes to the
Unknown Gountru.
^ m- M. McCan**n is no more.
He died at his home in this place
J Friday morning, March 4, 1904,
afler having suffered with pneumo
nia fever for about oue week. Mr.
, McCalleu was 08 years old and had
been comparatively a healthy man
all his life. He was a native of
Pennsylvania, but has made this
place his home for many years, bav
mc married Mrs. Martha Brown
several years ago, since which time
he has been a citizen.of Ceredo. He
worked at the upholstering business
in Huntington the greater part of
bis time and was an honest, industri
ous man—such as are sadly missed
in this world, which contains many,
we are sorry to say, who are neither
honest nor industrious. This class
could well In* spared and the good
people left behiud would probably
get along better on aocount of their
departure. But when a man like
the subject of this sketch, who was
kuown and loved for his sturdy in.
tegrity, strict honesty and great in.
dustry, is taken away by the hand
of Death, be cannot help but be
missed. His place will be difficult
to till.
Mr. MoCallen was a member of
the Congregational church and has
no doubt gone to a country where
sorrow, pain snd death are not known,
but where all is joy, and peace, and
happiness, lie leaves a wife, and
sister (Mrs. H. D. Stewart, of Gleu
Osborne, Pa.,) and a host of other
relatives and friends to mourn bis
death.
Funeral services were held at the
late home of the deceased Srturday
at 1 o’clock p. m. conducted by
Revs J. W. Morgan and J. VV.
Johnson, after which the body was
taken via a C. <fc O. train to Hunt
ington and deposited in Spring Hill
Cemetery.

HEAD GRUSHED WITH HEAVY
MAUL
Jacob Gopleu Arrested in Waune
Gountu tor Killing Unknown Man.
Bluefield, W, Va., March S.—
Jake Copley was arrested Sunday by
Deputy Saiu Doc Smith, of Wayne
couuty, and was lodged iu jiil at
Wayne Court House.
On the 24.h ult., near Breeden,
an unknown man was beaten to death,
after being robbed, and Copley is
supposed to have been his assailant.
The murder was discovered by a
party of engineers, who were survey
ing in that section. They were at
tracted to the scone—a secluded hol
low or ravine—by bearing piteous
cries, as of some one in dire pain and
found the man who had voiced the
cries in a dying condition, while
Copley—or at least a man whom
they believe was Copley—was seen
about 150 yards away, ruuuing at
full s|*ed with his hat in his hand.
This victim had l>eeii beaten over
the head with a maul until his skull
was orushed in. He lived some little
time after the arrival of theengiueers
and evidently tried to tell them the
season for his plight, but was alto
gether too weak to talk. He mur
mured aomething that sounded like
“Kirk” and it ie thought that this
may very probably be hia name. If
not there ta absolutely no clue to hia
identity. It was certain that he was
not a resident of that section, and
every pocket had been rifled so dial
there was nolhiug left by which he
could be identified. All hia belong
ings, had completely disappeared,
and were probably hidden in the
cliffs near by, as the man whom the
engineers saw running away from
the spot is lielieved to have carried
nothing with him. Several persons
are searching the eliffs hoping to
find some of the murdered man’s
property by which he may be identi
fied.
W hen the engineers reported the
tragedy they informed the authori
lies that an hour or two earlier they
had seen the dead man, in company
with Copley, come across the hill
near where they were at work.
They stood and talked for a while
and then went down into a ravine,
the dead man apparently not wish
ing to go that way, and only con
sented to after repeated urging by
Copley. At that time the dead man
carried a satohel.
The engineers have seen Copley
since his arrest on Sunday aud are
confident that he is the man they saw
go into the ravine with the stranger,
and also the man they saw later run
ning away trom the sceue of the
robbery ami murder.
I he dead man was neatly dressed,
wore a derby hat and dark sack suit
and apparently about thirty
eight ye tra of age.
