BRISTOL, Team, Dec. 23.-Sheriff
Wilson HolbrooE, with three deputies
from Wise county, Va, and three from
Knott county, KY, arrived here today,
having in charge Talton Hall, the noted
Kentucky and Virginia desperado.
They como direct from Memphis. where
he was arrested on the 9Th Of this month
for The murder of j.. b. Hilton. q po-
lIceman, at Norton. Va, last July.
The Objects and prisoner were hur-
ried from one depot 10 the other and
were en- route for Norton before half =
hundred people were aware of the fact.
Reports came here this afternoon tina.
three score of Halls friends from Ken
tucky were headed toward Norton with
Wmchesters, swearing that they would
liberate Hail on the arrival of the train.
The like number of Hilton's friends
armed themselves and declared that
Hall should never see the inside OF an
other prison cell. The people of this
city are expecting every moment to
hear OF a war, and it Is quite likely
that blood will be shed before morning.
The inhabitants of Wise county are in
furiated at such " cold blooded muir
der, and are determined TO have ven-
geance.
The story of the crime is short. Hill
ton had urested lone Bates Mills for
some petty theft. and was preparing to
lodge him in Jail when Hall came up
and demanded that be give up the
prisoner and pistol, and the officer
knowing the character of the man. as
sented at once, but before he could
make a move the outlaw and thief had
grappled him, when n bullet from Hall S
pistol penetrated his right breast. Some
of the other murderers are said to be
just asCowardly.
There have been some mistakes made
hv the Associated Press regarding the
desperado. He is not q flne-looklng
man; is q member of the Hall-Jones
feud of Kentucky; was raised in Knott
county, Kentucky; has killed in single
combat. says q man VINO was raised
with him, twenty men, some say
twenty-seven, while others say eighteen.

brother, Jim Hall. was IN outlaw, and
caused the militia OF Kentucky to be
sent out once. He said to q reporter
today that he wanted to kill three or
four other en-, two detectives and q
Memphis reporter, then he would be
satisfied. The latest reports from Wise
county are meager though varying.
