A CELEBRATED CASE.
Eastman Thompson Homicide from
Tucker Co.. w. Va.


Colonel Robert w. Eastman killed
Frank Z. Thompson in Tucker coun-
ty, w. Va, last spring. He was in
dicted for murder. This noted case
was taken before the supreme court
of appeals of the state and a writ of
prohibition asked for TO restrain
Judge Holt from trying hiDl on ac-
count of error and prejudice shown
by the circuit court judge. In June
he was indicted for manslaughter.
A nolle pros, was entered. A second
jury was empanelled and instructed
that il it we're homicide they should
return an Indictment for murder and
leaYe the petit jury to decide the de-
gree. The grand jury could not
agree and the judge empanelled a
third jury. Eastman admits the
killing, but claims he shot in self de-
Tense. 1t is one of the most celebrat-
ed criminal cases in the history OF
West Virginia. The supreme court
handed down its opinion saying:
1T is manifest from this that an
impartial grand jury meant one that
would find an Indictment for murder,
In accordance with the evident desire
of the judge, as shown by his several
instructions to the successive grand
juries. That the judge, either
through lack Of experience or unusual
zeal, was led to commit numerous
errors, harmless or prejudicial, can
not be denied; nor is it our place to
ascertain whether they were justiiia-
bic, under the present application.
This is the opinion of Judges Dent
and English. The other two judges
dissent. The probable effect of there
being a divided court will be that
Eastman will be reindicted.

NOW ON TRIAL.

Bolyard is Being Tried.


Pleads Self Defense aud expects to be

Barbour Grand Jury-If Cleared Pat
Colebank May Arenge Els Brothers
Tragic Death.
The trial of Chris. Bolyard has
begun speedily. 1t will be remem-
bered thai he killed John Colebank
after a terrible fight over a girl. A
full account Of the affair was given
when it first happened by this paper.
The murder took place in the edge
of Barbour although the parties
were from Preston.
The Barbour grand jury was in
session and it Immediately found an
Indictment against Bolyard for muir
der and the trial has begun. He
pleads self defense and says that he
will be acquitted. The facts in the
case do not seem to warrant this
confidence on his part He is con-
fined in the jail - Philippi.
When he heard of the murder, Pat
brother of John Colebank, armed
himself and swore okill Bolyard on
sight. Friends prevented his carry
ing out this intention and thus an
other terrible tragedy was in all
probability averted. However he
still firmly declares that if the hopes
of the prisoner are realized and he
is acquitted that the murder shall
be avenged by the killing of the
murderer. So the prospects are ex
cellent for more outbreaks before
the matter is finally settled.
The feeling over the affair in Reno
district of Preston and in Barbour
is said to be most intense and very
great interest is being taken in th,
trial.

all the honors due to so great a con

be met by messenger from Madrid
demanding an explanation of his I'M

he will be lucky if he escapes a court

Foot Ball in Georgia..

There seems to be no doubt that
the bill prohibiting foot ball in
Georgia will become law. 1t passed
the House by vote of 81 to 3. 1t
is expected to pass the Senate by a
vote of the same character, and al
though Governor Atkinson is a
graduate of the University of Geor-
gia and is said to regard the action
of the Legislature as an attack on
the university rather than III foot
ball, he is expected to sign the bill
ON the ground that veto would be
useless with such majorlties ready
to pass it over the veto,
The idea that real attak is on
the university rather than the game
is confirmed by "a dispatch from At
lanta, shich says:
Tne university is supported by ar
appropriation from the State, tt
which has been added the $4,000
annual interest derived from the
script fund. For four or five wears
an agricultural fight, similar to that
waged in South Carolina by TilIman
which resulted in the establishment
of Clemson, has been brewing The
contention of the farmers has beer
that the university was an aristo
cratic institution for the sons o.
gentleman, and that the farmers
boys were tabooed If they dared tt
go there They therefore demanded
that the land script fund should bt
taken away and used to establish {
purely agricultural college, where
only the sons of actual farmers
would be eligible The ia mcrs have
been reinforced by the denomination
al colleges, which desire the iestruc
ton of the university in order thai
they may get the students.
The bill is severe in its restrictions
and penalties. 1t makes it unlawful
"for any person or persons to come
together and play a prize or mattel
game of foot ball in any park or 9th
err place in this State where fee il

Two Serious and costly smashups

the throttle was hauling heavy
train of 33 Oliver & Snyder Steel COM
pany cars, loaded with coke, down the
branch. All went well till the change

where the divide is. After striking
down grade, it soon became apparent
that the heavy cars were getting the
train beyond control Engineer Mitch
ell did everything in his powes to
check the speed, but the engine was
pushed ahead like a toy. The great
string of cars went rolling along at a
terrific speed, which increased each
mile Till short distance below Dun
bar. There a 1agman had been sta
toned to guard coal train standing
still short distance above Fayette
station.
The runaway train had eleven cars
with air brakes coupled up, but En-
gineer Mitchell, after tying down his
whistle, had determined not to give
the train the sudden jolt If he could
possibly avoid doing so. When the
flagman was met be knew wreck
was inevitable and threw the air,
then jumping The flagman hailoed
to the brakemen clinging to the cars
as each passed, telling them of the

Jumped, none being injured. A few
moments later the runaway train
banged into the rear end of the coal
train. The big engine never stopped
till it lad ploughed its way through

up on top of the pile, stripped of cab

boiler and the wheels remained.
