Grand Chief Telegrapher A. D.

The most important question fol
settlement is as to whether the or.

universal one, or whether 1t shall
remain as at present-a strictly class
or railroad organization.
The only avowed candidate fol

is the present assistant Grand Chie1

Another matter which comes
up will be that OF biennial

the adjoining field, an opportunity to
see Anson's Colts perform as we'll as
Barnum's. Anson has clean cut

Though small in numbers and threat
ened by the guns Of the mob, the
posse charged into the mid-t and the
Sheriff demanded the return OF the
prisoner. The posse stood at bay
and Meredith declared that he would
give them a minute to make the re-
turn. The leader of the mob cried
out, "Don't shoot" whereupon Mer-
edith touched the prisoner and told
him to run for his life toward Eulaw.

him, standing in line with guns in.
their hands. He is safe now in the

BIG STONE GAP, VA, May IA
horrible massacre, in which Ave
persons were slain, occurred at Pound
Gap, on the Virginia side, thirty
five miles from here, Saturday after
noon In broad daylight. The victims
were shot from ambush, and one was
a woman and one boy. Their
names were Ira Mullens and wife,
Wilson Mullens, John Chapel and a
boy named Moore. Their horses also
were killed, and only two escaped, a
woman and,a boy, whose suspenders
were shot from his trousers.
1t is not known who did the shoot
ing, although certain persons are sus-
pected. A belt containing 81, 100 was
taken from the woman who was kill
ed, but the prime motive is not sup
posed to be robbery.
An enmity. Is said to have existed
for some time between Ira Mullins
and certain members of family
named Adams, and 1t is said that Ira
Mullins tried to hire some one TO
murder one OF the Adams family,
and they are suspected OF the crime,
although 1t. is not definitely known
that Adams had anything to do with
the killing.
Ira Mullins was moonshiner, and
has had many fights with officers of
the law while carrying on his Illicit
trade. A few years since covered
two.hOrse wagon was driven into
Gladsville, the county seat OF Wise.
AS it passed through the town it was
recognized as Mullins team, and
several county officers determined to
capture 1t and Its contents. Stepping
In front Of the team, they COM
manded the driver to hold up. The
driver jumped to the ground and be-
gan firing, in which Mullins, who
was hidden in the wagon, quickly
Joined. The driver was killed, and
Mullins and his friends who were
guarding the wagon fed.
Mullins, at the time OF his murder,
was lying in wagon In paralyzed
condition, caused by a ball striking
him in the back OF the neck while
engaged in fight in Tennessee.
An Adams killed a brother OF Null
Inns a year ago. This originated
the enmity. Pond Gap is one Of the
worst regions In the Cumberland
Mountains. 1t is here that the
moonshiner plies his vocation undis-
turbed by the officers OF the law.
Few months pass by without shoot
ing occurring there. There was evil
dence that the murderers had been
waiting behind huge rock for
Mullins for at least two days.
