tuned up 10 celebrate New Years and
got after Lucy with an ak. His trial
was set for Wednesday.
Ferris Bliss, who only recently was re-
leased from the Penitentiary for term
for horse stealing, got fighting drunk
last Thursday and tried to run the town.
His abuse didn't go at the Kramer
House and George Kramer gave real.
istic imitation of man putting bum
out the door. Bliss returned and George
responded to the encore by repeating
the act. Bliss then left and told his
brother Henry about the discourteous
treatment he had received, but he got
his story mixed somewhat and gave the
credit to Fred Pope instead of George
Kramer. Henry then went to Doorley's
saloon, where Pope works, and threat
coed vengeance ON Fred, exhibiting a
large, thrifty looking gun as the instru.
ment he intended to use. He was ar.
rested little later on the charge of pro.
voking breach OF the peace, and Ferris
was taken in for drunkenness. The
latter got S. and costs and Henry $50
and costs, and both went to Jail.

has figured, the father of her first born
being a man named Starr.
IL was during trip which she and
Orebaugh made together in the effort to
settle the Starr case tha. the present
trouble began, according to her story.
Orebaugh denies her story IN toto and

Tuesday and made anything but favor.

telling the story Of her wrongs. Lynch
burg has been fully represented and
great interest has been manifested as it

they may be pulled into the case.
When the case was first brought up
Orebaugh succeeded in having Miss
Chapman bound over to court for per-
jury, but no indictment was found
against her by the grand jury.

REVEREND BURR
Says Ripley Hill Is Trying to
Down Him.
The Church Investigates the Charges
Against Him and Finds
Them False.

The complications in which Rev. Burr,
off the Colored Baptist Church, was in
volved by the statements OF witnesses in
the Elliott-Ash slander case, rs publish
ed in the News. HERALD last week,
caused a sensation in colored circles.
The officials OF tie church held an in
vestigation on Monday, visiting Mr..
Burr's residence, and report their full
belief in his innocence and that the evi.
dence given against him was false.
Rev. Burr also wishes us to publish
the following statement
For the satisfaction of NV church
members and that public opinion may
not be established on the testimony OF
questionable characters, l do affirm that
the statements made againet me are lies.
and not the truth. There was noth,ny
said about beer in the trial. Never. ia

is only grudge the lower class of Rip.
ley Hill and others of the like have
against me, for | hold my principle
above their traits If the prosecuting
witness had been put on the stand when
urged by the plaintiff there would have
been evidence produced to overthrow
all the collisions OF Ripley Hill. But
the prosecuting attorney said that evi.
dence in behalf OF Mrs. Ash WIS no.
needed, for there was no substantial ev-
dence against her. How could the
Mayor do otherwise than to acquit the
defendant when there was no rebutting
testimony? They were there, but not
called Tor. Who is to blame? Not Mrs.
Ash. Not /.
/ am not timid in saying my walks be-
fore the citizens of Hillsboro for two
years have been that OF loyal citizen.
If my character is to be censured and
downed by puplic opinion on the testi-
mony OF Joe Peal and such like charac.
ters, THAT have everything but a good
principle, then claim that loyal man
has no more show than the worst of
characters. w. L. BURR,
Still Pastor OF the Baptist Church.
