ofthe Parties Murdered.
Correspondence of the TIMES.
Tuesday. March 4.-On last Friday
night difficulty occurred at drink
ing saloon in this place kept by Clark
e. Terry. The parties engaged were
Johnnie ClIildress, we'll known in
Roanoke. Scott Nelson, State Hall, a
brother of Barley Hall, and another
man whose name could not be learned.
1t is reported that these parties had
a difficulty at club room over a
game of cards, and that Childress and
Nelson followed the said Halls to the
saloon, where serious fight occurred
and heavy glass bottle was used ;also
a stick. The Halls then left and the
other parties followed them to the
second tunnel below the town and
there killed one of the Halls. The
other brother crawled away and con-
cealed himself under an old bellows,
while the parties were numbering his
brother in plain view. :.
Samuel Terry was arrested and Is
now standing his trial in the mayors
court.
Scott Nelson and Johnnie Childress
made their escape after the murder,
but we're arrested this morning in
barn belonging to John Baily, where
they had taken shelter, and it is
thought that they refused to travel
because there was snow on the
ground. Mr.. Baily lives on noun
tain known by the name of Skin
Chestnut mountain, one of the
peaks of the Flat Top system three
miles from town.

A Brtcht Outlook.

The Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal pub
fishes figures furnished by the tax
assessors showing an increase in that
city Of II per cent, in the value of
real estate, and 20 per cent. in popu-
lation. The Appeal expresses the
belief that within the next ten
months Memphis will show features
of metropolitan development which
will astonish visitors and quicken the
pride of every citizen. Money from
the east and northeast Is rolling
toward Memphis in a great flood"
The assessors for Roanoke are now
going the rounds and when they com
plete the work, which will be soon,
their report will show an increase
many times larger than that
of Memphis, or any other city in the
Southwest both in the value Of real
estate and in population. There has
been great influx OF northern
O lpital here within the past month
and now over 100000 is being spent
in the erection Of new enterprises.
Just think of it Roanoke is in the
swim and her prospects are NOR
flattering than ever before.
