THE BOYD CASE

Removed to the Corporation Court of
Lynchburg.
The case of John L. Boyd was called
in the Hastings Court yesterday after
noon. The prisoner was brought in, and
on motion of his counsel, Hansbrough
and Williams, change of venue was
granted and the case removed to the
Corporation Court Of Lynchburg.
Several members Of Boyd's family
were present and asked that he be taken
to see his mother, who was on her death
bed. Judge Robinson said the matter
was in the hands of the sergeant lie
alone was. responsible for Boyd and il
he chose to take him over, no objections
would be- offered by tha court. The
commemorative attorney said the same,
but added that the sergeant would bo
held accountable for the prisoner.
The sergeant pointedly refused to go
out OF the jurisdiction of the court with
the prisoner. He said his reasons were
good enough. Boyd might escape, or
friends of his interfere and snatch him
away. II he shot him on attempting to
escape he would be prosecuted for man
slaughter.
Notwithstanding the solicitations of
Boyd's friends, the sergeant was i'm
movable and securely fixed in his pur-
pose. He said he was in no way afraid
of Boyd, but should anything happen to
him he would be held accountable. He
did not propose to place himself in such
a position.
Boyd was locked up again in the Jail.
Although man of herculean strength
and iron constitution, close confinement
and trouble have begun to weigh heav-
lily upon him. His hair and beard are
much grayer, but that wonderful will
power is still with him. lie has con-
t1dence that he will be freed on going
to Lynchburg and says people are so
prejudiced against him in Roanoke that
he cannot get fair trial.

A PROBABLE MURDER.

Wesley Briggs Carves His Wife with a
Pocket Knife.
Wesley Briggs, colored, who frequent
ly figures in the Mayors Court, carved
his wife in horrible manner with his
pocket knife last night. Briggs and his
wife were in the yard together. They
live near the gas house, on the Shenan-
doah Valley Railroad. Wesley asked
his wife to go into the house. She re-
fused, saying she was afraid to go by
herself He then drew his pocket knife
and began his butchery, and when he
was through his wife was probably
fatally wounded.
The woman cried out, and her brother,
who lives near by, came and immedi-
ately notified the police. and Officers
Merriman and Schanck went out to the
house. They found the woman lying in
the yard almost unable to speak on &C.
count of loss Of blood.
Dr.: Fiery was summoned and upon eX-
animation found that the victim had
received four cuts one in the right side,
one near the breast, one in the back,
and there was three-inch cash in her
throat. This is considered the most
dangerous wound, but the jugular vein
has not been severed. The woman's in
juries are serious and may prove fatal.
Briggs was recently put under bond to
keep the peace, having carved lock of
hair from his wife's head with n razor

officers arrived on the scene.

A WOODEN MILL.

Roanoke will hear the hum of power
looms within the next four months.
The contracts have been signed and
work will begin at once on the erection
of plant for blanket and yarn mill
Perhaps the most gratifying feature Of
this enterprise is that it will give en-
ploymcnt to a large number of women.
Here is the opportunity for numerous
young women to obtain independence
as their New England sisters did forty
years ago in the cotton mills Of Lowell
Lawrence and Manchester.
There is nothing degrading about
honest labor, but there is degradation
in humiliating and irksome dependence.
This industry will tic the farmers
closely to Roanoke. For fifty miles
around they will bring in their heeces
directly to the mills and receive their
money or manufactured goods in ex-
change, thus avoiding middlcmen's
commissions. Sheep-raising is yet to
become a great industry in Southwest
Virginia. Vice. President Eddy says
that when Secretary of Agriculture
Rusk gazed out from the Presidential
train, on the miles of beautiful, fertile,
undulating country between Roanoke
and Bristol, and was told that there
were hundreds of square miles of it, he
threw up his hands and exclaimed:
''What glorious country for Sheep
And Uncle Jerry was right.

in the hundred or more addresses which
he made to as many visiting delegations
he made no mistakes. If he can repeat
his successes of two years ago no will

assurance that the next National Re-

when the conversation turned upon
Canada. Two of the party, both COM

evolutions by Captain Conley, with
brooms as weapons. When the girls
have become experts in their circum-
ambulations they expect to give a
public exhibition, which no doubt will
be entertaining and draw full house.
But think how their future husbands
will be made to toe the mark.
The laws of health are taught in

in many cases might easily be done.
If some scholar, who had just con-

school, so that all could hear the dry
loud cough and know its significance;
see the thin white coating on the
tongue and later, as the cold devel-
oped, see the profuse watery expec-
toration and thin watery discharge
from the nose, not one of them would
ever forget what the first symptoms Of
a cold were. The scholar should then
be given Chamberlah's Cough Re medy

severe cold could be cured in one or
