The young people of the town who attend the Saturday night dances in Beckley were treated to a little per- formance that was.not advertised for the dance last Saturday night. The music. for dancing:is furnished to the terpsichoreans by Mr. arid Mrs Frank Stevens of Beckley, the former play- ing the violin, .accompanied by his wife on the piano. When it was time for the dance to start Stevens suddenly discovered that | he had a grievance against the man- ager, John Coby. It appears that Stevens and his wife played for the the dange at the hall on Fourth of July night. Contrary to Stevens' ex- pectations a collection was made among the dancers and he was not paid for his services. Stevens arived at the hall on Sat- urday evening and commented to give vent to his feelings to the manager. It is said that fiery discussion : took Place between Coby and Stevens. The argument was abruptly ended when Coby ordered Stevens to-quit the hall and to take his piano with him. A roller was secured by Stevens and the piano was pushed from the dance hall to a corridor. But this was not sufficient for. Coby and he - ordered Stevens to take the piano from his bremises or he would have it thrown out into the street. Not being able to move it out inte the road as demanded and then again not wishing to leave the piano in the building-as it would®be put into use | by the dancers Stevens thought out a Peculiar plan to hinder them from making use of it. He secured a pair of pliers and cut anr the wires in the piano. Then accompanied by hlsdw}i‘fe he left the hall amid the Jeers an 0ots of the crowd h come to dance. e The dance, however. was not put out I'of commission as a violin wa. s s secur- Antoists Ogllide in Beckley.
