PocAHoNTAs TRAGEDIES.
Murder of Joe Mattras by Charles Buffa-
Iow-Probable Suicide.

Especial telegram TO the Dispatch.l
PooAHoNTAs, Va, May 20.-One of the
most brutal murders known here occurred
this morning. Charles Buffalow, a we'll
known tough character, shot and killed
Joe Mattras. Bufalow claimed TO be a
special policeman, and attempted to ar
rest Mattras, who said he had done no.
thing and would not submit to arrest.
Buffalow then shot HIM through the head,
killing him in few minutes. Buffalow
was caught by the town authorities and
is now in jail, and the excitement is in
tense.
The Jail will be guarded tonight by a
detail of the Pocahontas Rifles to prevent
any trouble.
Ed. Mars. young man from Wayne
county. w. Va, was found dead about q
mile from here this morning. At a coro-
ners inquest held this evening the verdict
was that he came to his death by acct
dentally shooting himself. There are some
doubts about it, however, and the matter
will be further investigated.

The Petersburg Alliance Farmer and Rural
Messenger, much against its wishes, has
come to the conclusion that the proposed
Kansas law to make all debts payable in
silver and gold. whether the debtor con-
tracts to pay in gold only or not, is uncon-
stitutional, as we recently pronounced 1t
TO be. Our Petersburg contemporary
claims TO have anticipated our argument
on this point.
