GUILTY OF A SERIOUS CRIME.
Charges Brought Against Prominent
Business Man OF Roanoke.

business Man OF Roanoke.
IN THIS day of close competition hard
feelings are not infiequently engen-
dcred in tho breasts of business men by
dealer in their particular line of
goods. Occasionally dealers recognize
the right of another to do whatever he
may consider best calculated to pro-
mote his business interests, and it may
be asserted without fear Of successful
contradiction, we think, that Roanoke
dealers rarely attempt to abridge this
inalienable right but, he this as it may,
there are thousands in this immediate
community, and three times as many
scattered through the Valley and the
Southwest, who will learn with surprise
that Donaldson, the Salem avenue
furniture dealer, has been charged with
murder.
The circumstances leading to the
commission of the crime as gathered are
briefly these: Donaldson has an i'm
mense establishment. Five floors are
packed with goods. His business motto
IS quick sales and small profits and. he
resolved to make things co." to use

down his immense stock of furniture,

night to steal valuable milch cow
from Judge Williams. The thief came
on the premises some time during the
