MOUNT AIRY, N. c., Jan. 80
Verify like Chicago, Mount Airv
looms up above the she's to surnass
anything hitherto known to Western
North Carolina as far as progress is
concerned.
morrow marks one month
since Mount Airy's pride, the mag
nlficent Blue Ridge Inn, and her
splendid block of stores burned at a
loss of $i25,0o0.
And to-day upon that same burnt
district, six stores are in course Of
erection and lumber is being hauled
TOR others. An iron front CONNER.
cial block is going up a little farther
down town and stock to-day is being
subscribed for the REBUILDING
OF the once splendid Blue
Ridge Inn. Contracts for
eighteen new buildings have been
signed to be built the next two
months.
Besides all this, three large leaf
factories are going up. Sparger
Bros, immense tobacco works ara
being finished, new and aggressive
men OF capital from down east are
coming IN, two large sash and blind
factories are being equipped and ten
thousand dollars stock has been rails
ed toward the building of a coy and
unique summer hotel. Propositions
are und-r consideration for water
works anu electric lights.
We never saw such a spirit of
''get there" manifested. 1t is no
boom but booms nevertheless. One
hundred good masons and carpen-
ters can secure jobs by coming to
Mount Airy at once. We want
houses for residents that are coming
in from Eastern Carolina.

of Miss Mitchell's intention. They
will be arraigned next Monday. A

noted murderer, now rests in the
hands of the jury. The verdict will

three squads of twenty men each
reached Gladeville, four miles from
here. They had marched from across
the border in Kentucky and were led
by a brother of Talt Hall. The
men are waiting for a verdict of
guilty and as soon as it is rendered
they are expected attempt his re-
lease. In anticipation of this move
ment the guard at the Jail has been
doubled and many citizens are arm
ing themselves to assist the sheriff.
Hilton's friends are also well armed
and say they will shoot Hall if a
verdict of not guilty is rendered

NORTON, Va, Jan. 3O.-Last
night was spent in intense excite
ment in this little village, and to-
day the people are gathered around
IN knots, all armed to the teeth, ex-
pressing strong determination to
protect their Jail at any risk. About
3 o'clock last night people com.
menced to come in from the sur
rounding country, reporting the
presence of IA band of seventy.five
men in the brush, around this
mountainous town, intent upon
rescuing their comrade. The
Judge at once ordered the Sheriff to
Summon every able-bodied man in
the community to guard the Jail.
Today the whole community is
armed, and, as members of this
gang are seen in this town. il is
possible that the rescuers NAV be
scared by the prompt preparations
that have been made to meet their
attempts to take Hall out Of jail.
ibree squads of these men were
seen today and yesterday approach
ing from different points, all from
the Kentucky side of Black Moup-
tain. One of these were led by
William Hall, brot her of the ac.
cused, and another by Samuel
Wright. one of the most
desperate men of the coun-
try. Talt Hall, was born in Flovd
county, Ky, and has been in a feud
all his life. He confesses to having
killed nineteen men, and the gang
to which he belonged have killed
over hundred. He inherited the
feud. His father, old Talt Hall.
killed two or three men. The feud
started in 1875 at Christmas din
ner. There was row between the
turner's and the Sizemores, in which
jeff. Turner and Bug Sizemore were
killed and some eight or ten were
wounded. Old Talt Hall espoused
the cause of the Sizemores and the
feud has been going on ever since.
1t extends over three counties in
kentucky-Letcher, Knott and
Floyd.

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY

VIM King, who has been earning
an honest living this winter, chopping
wood, was brought down from St.
Paul by Chief YateS.and arranged be-
fore the municipal court judge, on the
charge of forgery in the second degree,
the complainant being Michael ].
Ryan, who keeps a public store at
Smiths Mills. The defendant desir-
ing an examination, Thursday, Feb.
4th, was the day set for that purpose.
He was placed under $500 bonds for
his appearance and in the absence OF
bail was taken to the county Jail.
To a FREE Press reporter Who
visited him in his cell he told sub
stantially this story:
1t appears that four men are employ
ed by Mr.. Ryan to chop wood about
three miles from bis store The quar-
tette consisted of Micha ell McVee, L
Yaeden, fellow known as Chilly the
Kid" and the prisoner. Whenever
they wanted any articles at the store
one of their number writes out the
order and signing the names of the
four men in camp, goes to town anG
gets the supplies.
The rest Of the story is best told in
Kings own words. He said: ga few
days ago l received telegram from
Olivia that my grandmother had died
and leaving the boys in camp started
for town to get some money from my
half brother. As he had more tC
spare wrote out an order for IS and d
pair of overshoes and presented it at
Ryan's store, and he gave me the
MONEY and overshoes. You know the
rest. Why Ryan should get out a
warrant for my arrest is something !
cannot see through"

Miss Lizzie Miller writes an in
teresting paper for The Mankdtonian
for January on the Indian problem.
Among other things she says:
A question which is exciting cOnsid-
cradle discussion both in and out Of
the Senate is this--What shall be
done with the Indian? In the past
the Indian roamed free and unmo-
Tested over the broad prairie and
woodlands, lord of all he surveyed.
But as time passed, civilization ad-
yanced, and he was driven, not With
out resistance and blOOdshed, farther
and farther west, till at last he was
taken III charge by the government
and placed on reservations, which ne
was tmld was to be his home. But the
tide Of Immigration increased, and he
was remyoed from this reservation to
another, and still another, until at
length he and his brethren were all
crowded into u few small reservations.
Unaccusloned 10 such co mine q
quarters. and provoked and Cheated
by his white neighbors, for whom he
is no match, the Indian retaliateS and
bIoodshed ensCeS. In his rage and
hatred he gives no though 10 the ut
ter folly and hopelessnes> of his re-
volt, but opposes his feeble strength
to that Of the United States, as was
illustrated by the Indian outbreak
of last year. And what are the con-
sequences? Though the Indian be
defeated. he will again break oul and
in every such outbreak many precious
| lives are lost, 10 say nothing of the
expense to government. And thus it
will continue as long as the reSerya-
tion syst em remains in existence.

WELLS.
From the Advocate.


The proposition to vote bonds for a
new town hall has caused very little
comment, and one cannot judge as to
what will be the decision Of the yot-
erS.
Justice Woodland reports that with
in the past ten months he has paid
into the village treasury 1902 through
fines. 1t costs money to get drunk
and paint the town red.
A Polander after paying a note this
week at one of the places OF business
in twon, took the note tore it in two,
chewed 1t up and swallowed it. There
is nothing like making things sure.
We understand that the late Thorn
as GrimWood had no heirs, and that
after a suitable monument has been
erected over his grave the balance of
the estate will go to the school fund.
He left property worth about 81, 600.
A young insurance agent who has
Just located here had occasion to
make out note on Wednesday and
before getting form that suited him
drew two notes for 800 each which he
threw down and failed to destroy.
The notes were picked up and passed
into third party's hands. He has
since been deeply immersed in Black
stone to ascertain if the law will up
hold such a transaction, and will
probably be prepared to send the
other parties an ultimatum in short
time. We see big practical joke
sticking out.

A LITTLE MORE HUSTLING.

| The future prospects of Mankato
lwere never brighter than at present.
The question as to whether the real
ization will approach the outlook de-
,pends upon the hustling qualities of
'our people. MankatO wants more
CONSUMERS. 1t wants more homes.
To get these it must have in its midst
smore industrial institutions. To
bring about this desired end more
icapital must be invited to come here.
: There is no point in the west that
can offer better inducements to those
who wish to invest in manufacturing
enterprises than can MankatO. The
recent reductions in freight rates put
it in the front rank for shipping facili-
ties: it jobbers and manufacturers
have fields opened up to them, that
have hitherto been closed, on equal
terms with the larger cities.
The FREE PRESS has no desire to
find fault. 1t is pleased with what
has been and with what is being done,
but it would like to see a little more
-hustling for the welfare of the city.
A little hustling during the coming
two months would undoubtedly &C
complish more than good deal more
a year hence. The one question for
the consideration of our people is,
shall we double our ''tin dinner pail
during the coming year or
two?
