If our people had hold of the miscreant who scattered poison in many yard3 in our town last Sunday night he'd be made to wish he'd never been born, or died when very young.

The Musical Minstrels. - To help their home Band out financially, a score or more of Hancock music-loving people got up a minstrel show and pulled it off at hom on Tuesday night and Wednesday night of last week, with splendid success. The Club then thought it would be jolly to run out and give the en tertainment in some neighboring town, and McConnellHburg was selected as the place and last Sat urday evening the time. Satur day evening came, and so did the minstrels. When the curtain in the Auditorium rose or fell, or flopped for that curtain is an uncertain quantity, and liable to do almost anything the mins trels saw a full house, and the full house saw on the stage a mighty nice looking bunch of girls and a common looking set of men. But they were a clever set of performers, and for two hours, they kept their audience in a good humor. The orchestra under the leadership of M. F. R'chey was fine, and the soloists were real artists. The choruses were much enjoyed and the jokes by the charcoal contingent were generally funny. The Company consisting' of twenty-eight persons, accompan ied by fifteen or eighteen of their friends from Hancock, made the trip to our town in automobiles. In driving his car, Musical Di rector Richey broke an electric light bulb on the cowl of his car, and the glass cut him slightly as he supposed, on one of his legs. After he reached McConnellsburg he discovered that his clothing below the cut was saturated with blood, and upon examination, found that an artery had been severed, and that at every pulsa tion, blood was spurting. Had not Dr. Sappington who was with the party, and whose attention was called to the wound, taken up the open artery just when he did, Mr. Richey would have bled to death. Notwithstanding hi3 weakened condition, he stayed on the job during the entertain ment, and won the hearty thanks of all concerned. Mrs. Roy C. Dawson became ill at the City Hotel and was not able to leave town until Monday. Subscribe tor the "News' nnlv 1.00 vftr. . i, Lubricator!
