James God win, cashier OF the Bank
OF tincastle, and one of tho leading
promoters Of the material interests of
tho county seat of Botetourt, was in tho
city yesterday. With numerous othor
citizens of his t:wn and county he is
largely interested in the development
OF immense deposits OF marble, itho-
graphic and building stone, and the
completion of the railroad from Fin
castle to Cloverdale, station on the
Shenandoah Valley division of the Nor
folk and Western and only six miles
east OF Roanoke.
Tie people of Hotctourt arc particu-
larly anxious to see line of railway
constructed from this city to Clifton
Forge, on the Chesapeake and Ohio rail
road, and have obtained charter for ii.
tincastle will build ten miles OF tho
proposed line. which is as much or more
than can be reasonably expected. and i,
is hoped that when orr people are asked
to cooperate they will 90 so. It's not
questioned that tie completion OF the
line from Cloverdale to Roanoke would
prove paying investment to our citi
zens, as it would open up a large trade
that now goes to Lynch burg and Rich
mOn0.

Ben Frundford, representing the

New York Financial Times, is at Hotel
Roanoke. In conversation with q TINES
reporter he said that ho had lately been
all over the country and had been
favorably impressed with numerous new

where everything was on such a firm
financial basis as Roanoke.
He spoke in highly complimentary
terms of this city's pure air and water
and said the climate here must be per-
fectly delightful, not too warm in sum
mer or too cold in winter.
Mr.. Frundford is journalist of high
order, and close observer and his
opinion of Roanoke is no mean one He
Is now on tour through the South in the

Twenty-Five Thousand boomers Rush For

the New Town Sites.
Ell RENO, Okl., April 2O.-Just It noon
yesterday the cannon Numbered forth
the signal, carbincs repeated it, and %.
600 men on horseback, in wagons, and
on foot rushed into the country of the
Cheyennes and Arapahocs, and tonight
horsefesh is suffering.
The Cheyenne and Arapahoe reserva-
ton is in the Indian Territory, between
the Cherokee Outlet the north and tho
klowa, Comanchc and Apache reserva-
tlon on tho south. Its eastern border
adjoins Oklahoma and its western the
Panhandle of Texas.
Its area is much greater than is gen
orally understood to be the case. 1t
would make two Oklahomas or five
Rhode Islands, while tho whole States
OF Connecticut and Rhode Island could
be set in it, and there would still remain
room for four Districts of Columbia. 1t
contains $500 square miles, or 4. 600, 900
acres. Out of this the resident Indians
have been allotted by tho Government
sac, SEQ acres, giving 10 each OF the In
dians leo acres. There was thus left
for general settlement about $500, 900
acres, which, allowing quarter sec
tlon, or leo acres, to each homo seeker,
would accomm odate about . 1000 set
tiers outside OF the townsites.

The third night of the Friendship
Fire Companys fair, like its predeces-
sors, proved big success. Although it
rained and the mud in the streets and
on the sidewalks was almost unsuppass-
able, larger crowd attended the fair
last night than on either of the previous
nights.
The Roanoke Machine Works Orches-
ira excelled itself in music and the
merry dancers skipped the light fantas-
tic from eight to twelve o'clock without
intermisSion
Several beautiful articles have been
donated to the fair since the last report.
among which are beautiful match box
presented by Mrs. James Carrier, nee
Miss Carrie Ice l;eazler, of Richmond
unique pin cushion, given by Miss An
ME Wingtield, of Richmond; a beautiful
sofa cushion, made of crazy pate
by Miss Laing Carrier. of Richmond: a

store.
w. b. Murphy and A. n. Butler have

selves to be efficient door managers.
Tho little girls are bringing in quito
considerable sum to the Golfers of the
treasury by wearing tho candidates
cards. Ono maiden was observed to
wear seventeen different cards.
It is in possible to ascertain yet how
the proceeds arc turning in, but at least
five hundred dollars re in the treasury,
besides large amount that the little
girls and young ladies have collec ted to
be expended on ratfies for various things.
The tables in tho dining room con
tinue to be -ery popular and at times
during the evening it was difficult to
OBTAIN seat. 1t was noticeable that
the candidates were still liberal patrons
last night, and as the fair will continue
yet another week the aspirants for Office

one to return, as they will do so any way.

Railroad Avenue.

Last night about IL o'clock, Charlie
Griffin, who is employed in the black
smith shop at the Roanoke Machine
Works, was seriously stabbed in front
OF Murray Kings dive on Railroad ave-
nue.. He was found by friends and
brought to DR.. Harrison's office on Sa-
lem avenue, where his wounds were
dressed by DR.. Harrison and DR.. Gordon
Simmons.
He was found to have received deep
but not dangerous cut in the fleshy part
OF his thigh, and had received some se-
we're bruises and cuts from knucks or
other blunt instruments on the head
and had boon kicked or struck in the
loins and on the side.
Grlihn' who had unquestionably been
drinking. told a reporter that he had
gone out of some other saloon on Nor
folk avenue and was going down toward
the bridge, and, when just in front of
Murray Kings place. yellow girl, who
was standing in the door, called him and
said She wanted to see him.
Ho went up to her and as he got to
the door, Josephine Simmons, q negress
with an unenviable reputation, ap-
preached him, ran her hand in his
pocket and took his pocketbook, con-
tanning between and eight and nine dol
lars. Just at this junctnre a mob of
negroes from the saloon attacked Grit
I'm with knives, clubs, sticks and every
conceivable kind of weapon and he was
Knocked senseless, when some acquaint-
ances appeared and carried him to DR..
Harrison's office.
This is Grifiin's story. The habitues
OF Kings place told the reporter they
knew nothing of the affair and that IT,
all transpired outside of the house.
Three or four policemen were on the
ground soon after, but no arrests were
made.
Griffin, after being attended to in
DR.. Harrison's Office, was taken home in
a hack.
Griffin is married man and is said by
his comrades to be nice fellow. 4 con-
siderable number of his friends we're on
the street last night and talked pretty
freely about the parties who did the
cutting.
The physicians do not anticipate any
very serious trouble from til > injuries.

Wounded by a. Lady's Steadier Aim.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 2O.-A
lively duel took place last night in this
city between IL. p. Bradford, president
of the City Electric Railway Company,
and Il burglar who had effected an en-
trance into his residence. The burglar
was met by bradford in tho hall, where
ten shots were exchanged, neither, it is
thought, taking effect. Just as the
burglar was going through the door,
however, Mrs. Bradford fired at him.
Blood was discovered on the front
porch and it is thought that this
last Shot must have taken effect. Brad
ford fired while lying on his back be-
hind the stair post, or he would have
surely been hit.
