of Coroner's Jury.
of Coroner's Jury.

ALTON, VA, July e.-(special)-A
shocking homicide occurred at the annual
"Fourth-of-July" celebration on Hump
back Mountain Saturday afternoon. VIII
liam Cook, a son Of Mr.. Rice Cook, who
lives near Alton, was stabbed by Claude
Barksdale at 4 O'Clock and died at 6.
The trouble between Cook and Banks
dale originated about the obstruction OF
the pathway. There was a great crowd.
and Barksdale, it is said. was jostled,
and lunged forward at young Cook so
swiftly that those near by thought he
was striking him with his fist Barks-
dale's knife cut Cook In four places
across the head and face twice, on the
neck, and in the left side-the last and
fatal wound penetrating the right auricle
Of the heart.
GREAT EXCITEMENT.
There has never been such excitement
in our usually quiet community. william
Cook was a peaceaDle youth, greatly
liked about Alton. and much sympathy
is felt for his mother and father. He
was q years OF age, and was employed
at Critzens's saw-mil.
Barksdale is a married man, aged p
years.
DR.. Forrest Williams performed the au-
topsy Saturday night. and an inquest was
held at Greenfield school-house Sunday
morning at s o'clock by c. l.. McLane,
Justice OF the Peace.
THREATS OF LYNCHING.
Threats of lynching were loudly ex-
pressed at the mountain, but Constable
Brown bravely defended hts prisoner. and
urged the people to let the law take its
course. To the credit of our law-abidng
citizens, be 1t said. cooler judgment pre-
vailed. The verdict Of the Coroner's in
quest was that William Cook came to
his death from wounds inflicted by a
knife in the hands of c. /. Barksdale,"
and the hearing was set for the fourth
Monday in july.
