Court actions and robberies hit Wheeling scene
In a Wheeling criminal docket yesterday John Harris Albert Clark and Fred Kinney pled guilty to robbing an I O car and received 19 days in jail. Several others faced charges for keeping houses and prowling with fines up to 20 dollars.

Local robberies across McMechen South Wheeling and surrounding streets prompted reports of increased prowling and bold attempts at burglary with suspects fleeing upon discovery.

Exchange Bank Reopens as Stock Subscriptions Complete
The Exchange Bank will reopen at the old stand within days after stockholders subscribed $54,000 of the $100,000 needed for the extra stock. A soliciting committee secured full funding and extra offers. Directors plan a meeting tomorrow to arrange the resumption of business. The bank remains in the assignor’s hands until legal formalities are completed. Local reports hint opening Wednesday or Thursday, with a general welcome from the community. Plans also discuss Junction City incorporation and name change after citizen interviews. Progress shows MeMechan’s growth with new houses and two hotels planned, population to rise if incorporated. A playful note advertises a pearlless sea beauty product.
