The Ashland Record tells the fol-
lowing: "On May 9th, 1858, Jslnes
Hards shot and killed his father-in-
law, james Arnold, in the old mans
cabin in the Big Butte section now
known as Rancherie prairie. Hards
had been married to Arnolds daughter
few months, but had not got along
pleasantly and she had returned to her
father. The killing is supposed to
have been in reference to dispute over
the ownership of land. Hards was in-
dicted by the grand jury at the time
and was finally released on bail. Hards
retained the well known Orange Jacobs
as his attorney, who advised him to
leave the country. About ten years
ago the indictment was dismissed. As
was recorded by the Records Eagle
Point correspondent Hards returned
to that section OF the country few
months ago. He claimed the owner.
ship Of his land in that section, which
is now fenced in by other parties, and
proceeded to make trouble for them.
David Dunlap was an eyewitness to
the killing, which was cold-blooded
murder, He was at Arnold's when
Hards came in, murdered the old man,
aud before Dunlap could get out Of
harms way nearly killed him with
fright. The late grand jury again IN
dicted Hards for murder, and Sheriff
Pelton has arrested him and now has
him in custody in the Jacksonville
Jail"

life, leaping into the creek twenty-five
feet below. The other man, W. r..
Swink, was unable to get out Of the
way, and the log struck him, taking
off his left leg ut the ankle, breaking
his nose aud giving him other bruises.

have worked on different mines in the

tunnel reported that they had struck

directed the men to put blast in and
see what it was. Within less than an
hour u ton Of qnartz was scattered
around the tunnel. The miners all
agreed that the vein ran heavy with
silver and all quit work, fastening to

TIE PRESENT WILL coMELArER.

HE TIMES was in hopes it could
have been announced to day that Roa-
noke had been made a Christmas pres.
ent OF new railroad. Such an an
nouncement cannot be given out, how
ever, just at this time. And yet the
prospects of putting the road through
are brighter than they have been for
some time past, and the indications are
that by next Christmas. or but little later
at the most, complete line will be in
actual operation in this city. year
from now is some distance ahead for all
who have so many misgivings as to the
future to contemplate. Time passes
slowly while the wheels are clogged
with business depression, yet the bear
lngs once creased with renewed activity
and with new wind of the mainsprin q
and the days glide merrily along.
Just what is needed now with this
railroad scheme is new wind of the
spring. 1t requires the energies which
the citizens collectively can exert
through the means OF increased sub
scriptions; it wants tho citizen of small
means to add his strength in so far as
no is able; it needs the power which the
larger real estate owner and business
man can give. Unitedly the wheels
may be set in motion; If we are to de-
pend upon individuals, tho whole mech.
anism can not be started
This is just the situation TO-DAY. Lot
each one conjure up the past and ponder
upon 1t. Let him ask himself if he
wants repetition of the past wear.
Then, If not, let him on the first of tho
new year make a resolution that he will
do what he can in bringing about a
change in the affairs. A new railroad
will bring about this change.

Garrett, an employe of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company, yesterday

been laying violent siege to the heart
of Miss Maupin, but the union was
opposed by the young lady's parents on
account of her tender age.

would not be worth living apart from
each other, and in spite of parental
opposition took the matter in their own
hands and quietly eloped.
Miss Maupin left home Sunday, os-
tensibly for the purpose OF visiting
friends in Bedford City. She was
joined there by Mr.. Garrett, and they
boarded the west bound train YESTERDAY
morning for Bristol, where they were
joined In the holy bonds of wedlock as

OF Tennessee would admit
