a PROBABLE MURDER.
Jones Dies Under Sus-
picious circumstances.
ROANOKE TINES BUREAU,
RADFORD, VA, Dec. 5.


The crew of st-bound freight
train discovered a n orfoll1 and Western
Waterman between Radford and
Vickers, lying beside tho track about
two miles east of Radford this morning
in an unconscious and dying condition.
He died soon afterwards and his re-
mains were brought to the station in
tho eastern section. Coroner j. ID. Pc
tiers was notified and he immediately
summoned jury. DR.. a. j. Black
made an autopsy of the body and he
found that in addition to one leg being
broken in two places, there were three
wounds upon the head, either of which
would have proved fatal. After exam
lining several witnesses without glean-
ing any portant.facts, it was decided
to adjourn until Monday, when the
freight train crow, who have been sum-
moned will be present. The remains
were placed i'll the hands of Johnson &
Co., undertakers, for proper burial,
which will take place tomorrow A
good many are under tho impression
that tho man was murdered and then
placed upon tho track to hide the
crime

George w. Prillman, carbuilder,
came near being crushed to death by
the yard engine at the Roanoke Ma

engine was shifting some cars across
the turntable and through the car shop,
when it seems that Prillman came out
of one Of the doors and walked directly
in front of it. The buffer of the engine
struck him on the shoulders and for
tunately knocked him off the track,
otherwise he would have been run over.

up nay eyes and beheid = newlyIcon-
strncted crows nest IN a hemlock tree
near by. The nest was but little q bove
the level of the top OF ledge Of focks
only tow yards away that crowned.
the rim Of the valley. But il was placed
behind the stem OF the tree from the
rocks. 80 Is to be secure from observa-
ton on that sids- The crow evidently
knew what she was about Presently
heard what appeared 70 bs the voice Of
. young crow in the tree tops not

the female and that she was being Fed
by the male She was probably laying,
or about beginning 70 lay eggs In the
nest Crows, a. well as most OF our
srnaller birds. always 60 through the re-
hearsal Of this act of the parent feeding
the young many times while the young

The male brings the food and seems
more than usually so,icitous about her

or TO make an impression on the devel-
ooing eggs? The same thing may be
observed among the domestic pigeons
and is always q sign that q new brood
Is not far OF.
When the young do come the female
IS usually moro active in feeding them
than the mails. Among the birds Of

Is the larger and moro powerful, and
therefore better abba TO defend and TO

birds the male sometimes shows q

takes In the young of other species.
Thus . correspondent sends me this
curious incident of . male blnebi and
come young vireos: A pair of blue birds
were rearing their second brood in .
box on the porch Of my correspondent.
md a pair Of vireos had q nest with
young In some lilac bushes but a few
feet away. The writer had observed
the male blrebird perch in the hlacs
near the young vireos, and, he feared,
with murdcrous intent On such
occasions the mother VIRGO would
move among the upper branches
much agitated- II she grew de-
monstrative the bluebird would drive
her away. One afternoon the
observer pulled away the leaves SC
as 20 have a full view of the vireos' nest
from the seat where he sat not ten feet
away. Presently he saw the male
lbluebird come to the nest with . worm
IN It's beale. and a. the young vireot
stretched up their gaping mouths he
dropped the worm into one of them
Then he reached over and waited upor
one of the young birds as its OWL
mother would have donc. A few mo
rnents after he came 10 his own brood
with a worm or insect, and then the
next trip he visited the nest of tho
neighbor again, greatly 70 the displeas
ure of the vireo. who scolded hin
sharply as she watched his movement;
from a near branch. My correspond
ent says: II watched them for severa
DAYS; sometimes tho bluebird would
visit his own nest several times before
lending ha1d u the vireos- Some
