MORRIS Contractor and Builder. Bluefield, It's Easy to Own DIAMOND or a WATCH I'S Three more homes, all on Rogers street, were entered Tuesday night, and at one place a watch and eighteen dollars in money was taken. This was from the home ot James B. Keith. The two other homes entered were those of R.

C. Fleshman and E. Sentz. But little was secured from the two latter places. This makes a dozen or more residences which have been entered during the past ten days and the thief has not yet been apprehended.

There have beey but few instances where the police have been notified until the day after the robbery. It would appear the robbers are in search of watches, money and jewelry. Police are scattering out through the residential sections as much as possible in hopes of catching the thieves and have been instructed to detain' all suspicious characters. Early last night two unknown men appeared on the front porch of the homo ot Mrs. B.

H. Lusk, Jefferson and Hancock streets. They had been sighted by one of Mrs, Dusk's children. Although unable to see the men herself Mrs. Lusk did not hesitate- to bring a revolver into action.

She directed the fife into the darkness and fu the direction of her children sighted the men. Turning on the porch light Mrs. Lusk discovered the men had fled. She Immediately called the police. Police feel confident they are going to get the guilty parties if some citizen with good aim doesn't beat them to'it.

NET DECLINE SHOWN IN BITUMINOUS PRODUCTION W. II. rorterficld, well known young man ot Bluefield, who for the last two years has been an Inmate of the government tuberculosis sanitarium at Tucson, died last night, according to a message received here by his sister, Mrs. R. F.

Cox, from her brother, Strother Porterfield, also of Bluefield, who had arrived at Tucson yesterday morning. Strother Porterfield had left Bluefield last Saturday night. MrB. W. H.

Porterfield left Bluefield Sunday night with the expectation of reaching her huslvnd before his death, hut upon receipt of the message here last evening of his death relatives at once began trying to reach Mrs. Porterfield by telegram so as to turn her back. It was thought last night relatives would be able to get the message to her this morning before she left New Orleans for Tnscon. The remains will be started homeward tonight and are expected to arrive in Bluefield about Sunday. Strother Porterfield will accompany the remains.

The death of Mr. Porterfield had been expected for some time, as his condition had reached that point where hope had been abandoned.

She lives in California, and had gone to Tuscon several days ago.

RIERSON, Dentist, 443 TKINCETOX AVENUE The estimate of bituminous coal production for the week of March 14, prepared by tho bureau of coal economics of the National Coal Association, shows a total output for that week of 8,850,000 net tons, which represents a decline of more than 500,000 tons from the preceding week, for which the United States geploglcal survey reported the total production as 9,304,000 net tone. Car loading totals for the first two days of last week wero substantially the same as those of the preceding week.

Officer Wilson left last night to bring him back. London, Mar.

18' The old understanding in law that "finding is keeping" may be superseded by "following is keeping" in the eyes of tho London Sessions, which interpreted the code recently to mean that if a dog follows a man home, the person fallowed was not bound to communicate the fact to the cuuiue's owner. The owner, however, it was decided, may prosecute the person for stealing the dog's collar, If it happens to be wearing such an article, but he cannot go Into court and prosecute for stealing the dog. In other wordB, If a dog desires to select a new owner, he may do so at his leisure.
