June 4, 1897 Local News Senator B.J. Baker came home Wednesday. Mr. Martin Swick; whom we mentioned as being burned some time ago, is now able to be around on a crutch. Mr. Z. Hendrickson came over from Alleghany last week on a visit to his son, Clerk Hendrickson, and remained until Sunday. Atto. B. Parsons writes us that though he has located at Davis, he will continue to look after any business intrusted to him in Grant county. Married, May 27, by Rev. A.G. B. Powers, Mr. Wellington F. Landes and Miss Mahala Hedrick, both of Grant county. It took place from a very novel position � the river bridge. The grand jury in session this week found sixteen indictments � three for felony, the balance for misdemeanors. Many cases set for this term of the circuit court did not come up, owing to the illness of Attorney McMullan. While John Keplinger was working on the Mt. Hebron church last Friday evening some scaffolding gave away, giving him a considerable shaking and bruising up and a badly crippled hand and foot. He is now going on three legs. E.J. Suter and A.C. Heatwole, of Harrisonburg, Va., called on Dr. Jas. S. Curry here last of the week, on their way home from a visit to relatives in Pendleton county. Dr. Curry was their family physician when these young men were little children and of course was glad to see them. Miss Olena Reid, who has spent the past several months here as principal in the Petersburg Graded School, left Friday morning for the home of her parents at Medley. It is needless to say that she made many friends while here, as she must, considering her pure and business-like make up. Couldn�t read what town May 31, 1897 Some miscreant cut to pieces, the tops of several buggies belonging to Frederick & Athey, liverymen. The dirty scoundrel who did the work is suspected � in fact, the officers have sufficient evidence to have the villain arrested. He keeps in parts unknown, however. H. G. Buxton, of Keyser, and his brother-in-law, Mr. Price, of Grafton, will sail from New York for Europe, June 22d. Wm. R. Percy, a prominent citizen of Frostburg, Md., while riding along the tow path of the C & O canal, near Old Town last Wednesday night, was thrown from his horse into the canal and drowned. He was the owner of the Washington Bottom farm, near Pinto, and the Round Bottom farm below Patterson�s Depot, in this county. Edward M. Siebolt, whose home is in Piedmont, fell, while attempting to board a moving train in the yard here last Wednesday night, and was killed outright, several cars passing over his body. G. T. Karskadon is visiting friends in Ohio. A large number of our citizens have decided not to pay toll on the county roads after June 1st, as none of the roads are of the width and character required by the act of the recent legislature, before toll can be collected. Miss Thyrza H. Vaughn, who has been here as governess in Mr. J. Ed. Taylor�s family for nine months, left Saturday morning for her native home at Marven, Va. On her way home she will spend some time in Charlestown, W.Va., Washington, D.C. and Fairfax, Va. During her stay here she made many friends among the very best people of the county, who could but appreciate her affable, pure and true Virginia style, all extend to her a cordial welcome to West Virginia again, at any time. On last Friday evening C.V. Staines and Thos. W. Ebert went to the home of Walter Reid, near Greenland, to arrest him on a charge of burning Jesse Hays� store. They found Mr. Reid in his yard slicing potatoes with a butcher knife. When detective Staines read the warrant ordering his arrest, he (Reid) said that he would not be taken that he was innocent of the charge &c., and, having finished his potatoes, started to walk away from them, when Staines laid his hand on his shoulder, telling him he was his prisoner, whereupon Reid began to use his butcher knife and the three engaged in a desperate struggle, within which time Ebert�s revolver dropped either from his hand or pocket to the ground. Reid made an attempt to seize the weapon, but was prevented by Staines seizing him by the arm and kicking the revolver from his reach. Reid again made a dash at Staines wit the knife, by which time Ebert had gotten his revolver and began to shoot at Reid, firing five shots all of which took effect, killing him instantly. Finding that they had killed their prisoner, Staines and Ebert went to Justice Lyons and gave themselves up. On Saturday an inquest was held, Drs. Scott and Highberger being the examing physicians, and G.L. Simmons, Noah W. May, Z.T. Martin, A.M. Babb, Edward A. George and Jos. W. Sta???an the jury, who gave the following verdict: That the deceased, Walter Reid, came to his death on the 28th day of May, 1897, at his residence in Grant Co., W.Va., by shots fired from a revolver in the hands of Thos. W. Ebert without sufficient cause while the said Walter Reid was resisting arrest. Later � Ebert was found guilty of felony by the grand jury in session this week, and held in a bond of $2,000.

Davis is attending the races at Baltimore, where he has several horses entered. Sometime since a son of the late W.R. Percy, who was drowned in the C & O canal, married a Philadelphia lady, very much against his father�s wishes. Soon after the marriage the son began a sensational suit for divorce. The suit was prompted by the father. But a few days prior to the drowning, the old man made a codicil to his will, by which he disinherited his son if he procured the divorce. But, in case he abandoned the suit, he was to have the four Mineral county farms and twenty-five thousand dollars of his life insurance. Wanted � To sell two bull calves; one a red and white spotted Durham, the other a polled Angus. These will be about 6 mo. Old by July 15th, by wichtime I want them removed.

Gone the Way of All Flesh Abraham Hutton died at his home here Monday of heart failure at the age of 75 years. Though an old man, his death was very sudden and unexpected. He had been choring about the premises in the forenoon, and after dinner had gone out in the yard to take up some hay, when he was seized without any warning with a very severe pain and sent to bed. Dr. Grove was summoned and administered some medicine, and he seemingly rested easy until about 8 o�clock, when he passed away without a struggle. Wednesday at 11 o�clock, after funeral services at the Presbyterian Church conducted by Rev. John J. Fix assisted by Rev. Sarver, the remains were placed in the Petersburg Cemetery. He leaves a wife about two years younger than himself, two sisters, Mrs. M.A. Page and Mrs. Carrie Roberts, both of Baltimore, Md., and one daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Welton, of this place. He had spent the greater portion of his life in this section and was one of the very substantial citizens. For some years he had been a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, and expressed a willingness to go beyond the grave, which in itself should be a great consolation to the bereaved family. Untimely Death Tuesday evening Nettie G., oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Barrett of our town passed quietly into the sleep of death at the age of seventeen years. The direct cause was lung trouble brought on by measles, which she contracted about four weeks ago and from which time she gradually declined until the end came. Wednesday afternoon the body was consigned to the earth in the Petersburg cemetery, after a brief funeral service at the Methodist Church, conducted by Revs. Sarver and Fix. The pall bearers were taken from among the young people of the town, and the entire program of the last sad rites was in keeping with her tender years. The death of such a young and loving child must mean sorrow to the family and friends, but at best death steals upon us unawares and leaves a train of sorrow in its wake. We do not know of anything that can be said to ease these aching hearts; �we cannot gild a grief with words.� School Book Board The county court of Grant county Tuesday appointed as members of the school book board, R.S.

Baker, Willie Barger, Jeff Groves and Slenn Smith, active and Mrs. J.N. McMullan, Cornelia Taylor, Bessie Smith, Alice Smith, Mernie Hendrickson, Lelia Delay and Carrie Groves, honorary. While the hearts of parents and friends are heavy with sorrow at the unexpected death of this sweet and gentle creature, yet we have the consolation of knowing that she did not fear the shadow of death upon her young life, and died in the firm hope of immortality. Beyond the sorrow and the gloom, we know that she lives again, transplendent and glorified by the radiance of the celestial dawn. In the springtime of her life, in the most beautiful season of the year, they laid her to rest where the checkered lights and shadows fall in the quiet city of the dead. Above her lowly resting place the flowers will bloom with each recurring summertide, and her memory will live perennial in the hearts of those she leaves behind.

June 10 � Miss Emma Stallings, in honor of her cousin, Miss Twigg, and friend, Mr. Wilson, of Maryland, gave the young folks of our vicinity a most delightful social last Tuesday evening. It was to be a masked affair and it proved a success indeed, for so aptly did they don their costumes that it was difficult for brother and sister to recognize each other, and �Bob didn�t know his own clothes when on another man. After enjoying the rediculousness of each other for some time, all were invited to the dining room, where masks were removed and ice cream and cake served. When natural faces were presented to view, we beheld James and Vause Marshall, Chas. and Haven Babb, Milt and Homer Schell, Curt Reid, Marvin Vest, Bert Stallings and Mr. Wilson, and Misses Willie Marshall, Nora Schell Katie Naedele, Emma Stallings, Olena Reid and Alice Twigg, all exhibiting much amusement, but no one could laugh at the other.

It is needless to say all had a delightful time. ********************************************************************************************** Grant County Press Published Weekly Frye & Rodgers Publishers J.W.

She was twelve years of age when she gave her heart to God, and had been a member of the M.E. Church, South, about eighteen months. She was an obedient daughter, a faithful friend and a consistent Christian. Her life, like the opening flower, was beautiful, but withered so soon in the noonday sun. But, that flower will bloom again in the sweet Elysian fields of heaven, never to wither or fade away. Her eyes closed on the beauties of earth that she might behold the beauties of heaven. She will be missed in the home and the church. Her absence from us means her presence with the Lord. Angels are now her companions; she sweetly rests under the shade of the trees; she is arrayed in garments of glory and beauty.
