names are found upon the tally-list
of Wilksville precinct, Vinton county,
whose owners can not be found in
the township. Nearly all of these
names are at the head Of the list,
thus indicating that they voted very

had been assaulted and severely
beaten, by some members OF the U.
s. Burial corps, while attempting to
arrest two or three of their members
charged with knocking down and
robbing VIM. L. Wllcher of som c
$50 on the night before. During
the melee those charged with the
crime made their escape from the
camp and crossed the Kanawha river
under heavy nre from our cltizens'
They were then pursued by Mr..
Charles and several of our citizens,
who succeeded in capturing some
three or four of them. The parties
were then tried; two were committed
to Jail; one by the name CT Harper,
charged with the robbery, the other
for a breach of the peace. After
they had been sent to Jail, it was
generally believed that an attempt
would be made on the part of the
Burial corps to rescue their com
rades.. On this supposition our citi

ing down any such attempt No
attempt was made however, and
everything passed off quietly. The
