rKCIAI. TELEGRAM TO TO DISPATCTT.l
Keysek, W. Va., November 12. Depu
ty United States Marshal O. C. Miller ar
rived here a day or two ago, having in
charge a moonshiner named "William Fan
tier. He lived, with a number of others of
Lis class, about 20 miles south of St George,
tlie county !eat of Tucker county, and about
60 miles from the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, and his chae and capture constitutes
one of the most remarkable episodes in the
criminal annals of West Virginia. Detec
tive Miller was compelled to follow his man
for several weeks before he finally landed
him in prison, often at the risk of his life,
and he detailed his experiences to your cor
respondent about as follows:
Pansier is a member of one of the most
daring and successful gangs of moonshiners,
counterfeiters and stock thieves that ever
infested tne mountains of "West Virginia.
Their stamping ground was the "Canaan"
Wilderness and contiguous portions of ad
Joining counties, and their headquarters
tvere established in a
LOG HOUSE, STHOXGLY FOBTIFIED,
end provided with loop-holes for its de
fense with repeating r.fles and situated in
the most inaccessible portion of the "Back
bone" range ol mountains. It is surrounded
for miles on every side with laurel and
timber, standing so thick as to make an ap
proach to it almost impossible, except bv a
secret path, whictt lor a long time was
known on'y to the members of the band.
Here the ganc bad lor several years operated
a. splendidly equipped distillery, with a
capacity of 85 gallons a day, until they were
betraved some months ago by one of their
own number, who led a posseot Government
officials to the "fort," as it was called, at a
time when all the gang were away disposing
of tbeir stock of liquor at Philippi.
The detectives lett not one log of the thief
harbor resting upon another, and destroyed
the still, mashtubs and everything else of
Buy value found about the premises. These
summary proceedings made home anything
but sweet lor the gang, and they scattered,
3-'ansler being the only one who made any
attempt to "hold the fort." and even he. taking
alarm at the activity of the officers, retreated
ri what he called his -mountain place," about
15 miles further south.
BEABDED IN HIS DEN.
Here ho was traced by Marshal Miller, who
Spent seven da; sin getting to the place from
bt. George. Miller was fortunate enough to
find Fansler at home, and walking suddenly In
Upon him, told him the best thing he could do
was to give himself up, as he had men outside
y ho ould take him, and resistance was useless
tausler surrendered, and started oft quietly
with his captor, bnt when they had gone some
distance without meeting any other officer',
Fansler turned upon Miller, and a fierce right
euued. He was finally overpowered, and
everything went well until the Dry Fork of
Cheat river was reached.
The two men started across the stream In a
Eitiff, but Fansler. watching his chance, caught
the detective by the shoulders and tbrcw him
out of the boat Fansler then jumped Into the
swift current himself and tried to escape, bnt
Miller caurrht him by the legs, and alter nar
rowly escaping being drowned, Fansler again
surrendered, and the two reached the shore.
Fansler made no further effort to escape, and
is now under lock and key. There are thiee
tench warrants against him and many capiases,
and he is sure of a long tenn in the penitentiary.
THE GANG'S HIGH hTANDlNG.
A strange feature of the whole matter Is that
flie members of this gang were not vagabonds
or criminals, in the common acceptation of
those terms, but all owned fino farms, and asan
evidence of this, one of the part-, arrested
Sometime aco,"as released by United States
2ndge Jackson on $5,000 bail on bis own recog
czance. The "queer' and "moonshine" de
partments of the business were managed with
skill and energy, and they were assiduous and
Successful in their live stock operations, fre
quently stealing as many as 200 sheep, or SO or
J cattle at once. Manyaie the stories told by
the people of Randolph. Tucker, and llarbonr
counties of the wild orgies with which theycel
ebiated at their camp in the mountains the
successful issue or a raid of this kind on the
barns and pastures of the farmers of that por
tion of the State.
Until recently, no attempt at punishing these
outlaws ever succeeded, as they were quick to
take either legal or illegal proceedings to pro
tect themselves.

In Disputed Possession of Valuable Iron
Lands in "West Virginia,
rcrltCTAI. TILED tt AH TO T11K DISFATCR.I
Za.nesvh.le, November 12. George Wash
ington Welcome, a colored barber here, if his
story be true. Is a man of considerable interest
to Eastern investors. He says that in 1S79 he
was teaching school at Martlnsburg. W. Va,
and while there formed with John L. Rogers, of
Norfolk, and other colored people, a company
with the high sounding title of "The West
Virginia Investment Company." The shares
were placed at f 10 each, ho taking eight and
Mr. Rogers five shares, and others taking suffi
cient to swell the capital stock of the company
to the grand total of f320. With this sum they
purchased 120 acres of land in Grant county, in
the heart of an unbroken wilderness. The
land was rough, and scarcely tillable, bnt, says
Mr. Welcome, "it abounds with iron ore, which
cropped out solid just like rocks." Mr. Wel
come, on account ot his superiority as a man of
letters, was made secretary of the company, but
despite all his efforts he could not succeed in
making the stockholders pay accnt on the taxes
of the land. L ke Sellers, he saw "millions in
it," and paid the taxes himself. John L. Rogers
died, and his heirs made -Mr. Welcome a pres
ent of the five shares he owned, so that now he
owns 13 shares, and is out of pocket on the
land, since 1SC9. some 200 m taxes.
J. M. Price, an attorney of Martinsburg. now
comes ont for the other stockholders, and de
mands the books of the company. A railroad
has recently penetrated the county, and tho
land adjoins it, aud has increased in value to
about $5,000. Mr. Price threatens to sue Mr.
Welcome if the books are not delivered, but
offers to pay him for the taxes ho has paid on
the land. Mr. Welcome claims that the land is
wanted by the Pennsylvania Iron Company,
and doesn't know what to do in regard to the
matter.

But solid facts, that will stand the strictest investiga
tion and the strongest light. There are tides in the
clothing trade which, taken at their flood, lead on, if not
to fortune, to points of advantage which have much to do
with a firm 's popularity with the public. On one of these
tides we recently found ourselves afloat, and, taking the
current whe?i it served, we were led on to secure a ONE
HUNDRRED THOUSAND-DOLLAR STOCK of
fine, new, this seasons stylish clothing, for which we paid
ONLY
am
HI ID
This was a saving to us of 40 cents on every dollar's
worth bought, and we are letting the public have it on the
same liberal terms. The reaso7ifor the great sacrifice on
the part of the firm who sold it to us was a dissolution of
partnership. But we doiit suppose you care a snap about
it one way or the other so long as the goods are here, and
you can take advantage of the bargains offered.
You ' miss the chance of the season if you fail to
buy what yo7C want for yotirselves and your children
while this special lot of goods lasts. There s almost
everything in it. STORM COATS and ULSTERS
are in it; MEN'S OVER CO A TS of every shade and
every weight are in it; MEN'S BUSINESS and
DRESS SUITS are in it; BOYS' LONG-PANT
SUITS and CHILDREN S SHOR T-PANT SUITS
are in it; BOYS' and CHILDREN S OVER CO A TS
are in it;' 40 PER CENT REDUCTION from what
such goods would sell for in the regular, way is in it.
ARE YO U IN IT? You will be if you will take
the trouble to investigate.
