HOMICIDE ON DRY FORK,
E. N. Wagner Shoots and Instantly
Kills Vim. CutShaW.
WAGNER SURRENDERS TO .FFICER
Is Tried by Justices, who, After Carefully
Hearing Evidence, Discharge the Ac-
cuSed From Custody.

On last Thursday, tie oath ut., about
noon, j. NJ. Wagner shot and killed
William Cutshaw, at Adams saw mill, on
Beech Fork of Dry Fork, in this county.
Cutshaw came to this county from Ohio
and Wagner Laled from North Carolina
The two men had been associated in rum
ming the saw mil, ,and Cutshaw,w who was an
unmarried man about twenty five years
old, boarded at the house of Wagner. 1t
seems that Wagner became jealous Of
Cutshaw's attentions TO Mrs. Wagner and
ordered him to leave, but Cutshaw failed
or declined to go away. 1t is supposed
that Wagner concealed himself in the
loft above the room in which Cutshaw
was shot and shot him from the steps
leading up to the loft. After the shooting
Cutshaw ran into the yard, about ten steps
from the house, and fell dead. The sup
position is that he was shot with a
Winchester rifle, the ball penetrated the
breast just above the heart and passed
through the body. Wagner fled immedi-
ately after the shooting.
On the afternoon of the same day Justice
b. f. Riley summoned jury and held an
inquest, The jury was as follows: Riley
Stevenson, VIM. Jones, Joseph Reynolds,
James Barnett, Thomas Sayers, Thomas
Watson, Charles Grimster, Geo. Harman
Cephus Williams, Al. Catron, ]. Month
more, Jr., and DR.. D. r. Johnson. The
jury could get but little evidence and its
verdict was that Cutshaw had been killed
by some unknown party.
On Tuesday morning Wagner surren-
dered to Constable d. II. Payne, and was
brought before Justices B. f. Riley, James
Whit and Kiah Harman for preliminary
trial. The accused was defended by S. NJ.
B. Coulling, Esq, and the justices, after
hearing all the evidence, discharged the
prisoner, we suppose concluding that his
act was justifable.

A Worthy Man Gone to Rest.

In former issues Of this paper we
mentioned the very serious illness Of Prof.
H. L. Benton at the Tazewell Seminary.
From the beginning of his sickness his
friends had great fears as to the result,
and on Thursday morning, the 24th ult.,
little after seven o'clock, he quietly passed
away. Prof. Benton came to our town
last Fall and entered upon his duties as
teacher at the Seminary. He came with
the highest testimonials, and his work and
life in our community more than measured
up to the estimate placed upon him by
those who knew him in other fields and
testified to his excellent qualifications as
q teacher and personal qualities as a man.
During the ten months he lived in this
community, by his uniformly gentlemanly
demeanor and modest manner, he made
nott ing but friends, and died enjoying the
esteem Of all who had come in contact
with him. His death was very sad one.
He had just completed his work here and
had been appointed to an important
position in Massachusetts,, that Of Superin-
tendent of schools for the towns Of West
Stockbridge, Sheffield, New Marlboro aud
Egremont in that State. He had prepared
to 90 North, but was taken sick two days
before the time fixed for his departure. 1t
was unfortunate and sad that he should
have been separated from his parents and
other relatives at the the time ofhis death,
but he was kindly looked after and cared
for by his friends here.
On Friday afternoon Mr.. Fred Andrew
Benton, of Earlville, N. Y, brother of the
deceased, arrived here, and the same
evening at o'clock funeral services were
held in the chapel of the Seminary by
Rev. w. ". Ruff. At the conclusion OF
these services the remains were taken to
the east end cemetery ard laid tenderly
to rest.
Hiram Lincoln Benton was born in
Shelburne, Chenango Co., N. Y, in
November. 1865. He attended the public
schools of Earlville, n. Y, graduated from
Colgate Academy in 1888 and from Colgate
University in 1888, receiving Bachelors
degree from the last mentioned institution.
He taught one year before graduation to
defray his expenses at college and worked
against adverse circumstances throughout
his course. He taught continuously from
his graduation in 1883 until his death,
He was Principal of Waterford High School
for several years, also at Saratoga Springs
and at Parish, N. Y, one year, and was
for two years Superintendent of schools at
Thomastcn, Conn.

Good Roads.
Big Rock, Va, June 3Oth, 1891

Big Rock, Va, June 3Oth, 1897.
To the Republican.
l am pleased to see the interest you are
showing on the subject Of good roads.
Your articles have placed some facts and
figures before the people that have not
heretofore been generally known. The
puplic roads are used by every citizen,
and are of the first importance, or should
be,a the success of allothers is measured by
the improvement of the roads. Farms have
been improved one hundred per cent. in
Tazewell county in the last fifteen years,
mills have improved five hundred per cent,
factories have improved eight hundred per
cent, shipments of material and hauling
eight hundred per cent. All these enter
prises have had an incl ease of capital
annually. Their steady advancement
each year, and the general improvement
which has resulted, has occasioned call
for more wagons and buggies and more
travel on the public highways. Hence the
necessity for more road improvement. To
have that we should be as much interested
in the improvement Of public roads as we
are in our private enterprises. AS we add
capital TO the improvement of farms, ma
chinery, mills, factories, stores, mining
and lumber enterprises it makes greater
demand for more money 10 improve the
county highways.
Pennsylvania has been spending S4S.
per mile on its roads for the last fifteen
years, and its roads are not in a satistacto-
ry condition. We are spending about S.
per mile. You can't improve farms, ,facto-
ries, mills, stores or anything without an
, increased use of funds. So an improve
ment of the roads will call for more money
than is now at the command of the county
authorities. The improvement should
not be local but general. Give Tazewell
good roads and good schools and it will
double the value Of her real estate in five
years.
Respectfully,
w. L. G. BURKE.
