Lice IN PRISON HIS FATE.
palld Justice Convicted Of Wilson's Murder.
Betrayed BY a Woman.

CATTLRTrsBuRG, KY, Feb. 14.-
After being out since Saturday
afternoon, the jury in the case of
David Justice, charged Jointly
with Charles Martin with the
murder Of Lazarus virson, a
llumberman of the Big Sandy
VALLEY, in this city in May, 1895.
Hreturned a verdict of guilty at 4
O'Clock this afternoon, and fixed
1.-The penalty at ninety-nine years
in the State prison at Frankfort.
Owing to the fact that the court
can hold no longer than Satur-
day, Judge Kinner continued
Charles Martins case until the
May term of court.
On the morning of May 6, 1895,
the body of Lazarus Vinson was
found under the bridge of the
new Chesapeake & Ohio railroad
which spans the Big Sandy river
in the southern part of the city.
1t was supposed that Mr.. Vinson,
while crossing the bridge in the
dark, made misstep which hurl-
ed him to his death, but his rela-
tives suspected that he had been
killed and his body placed under
the viaduct to conceal the crime,
which was committed for the
purpose of robbery. Martin and
Justice were suspected, and at
every term of the sgrand jury
since the murder occurred they
have endeavored to have the men
indicted, but could not secure
sufficient evidence until Novem-
|Ebsr when Mrs. Martha Gauze
Efoid ] Stnes vinson, ason Of the
dead man, that she saw his father
killed, and that his body was
taken from the place where he
had been killed, under the bridge
over Catlett's Creek, in a buggy
to the Big Sandy bridge. On her
evidence both were indicted, and
the conviction of Justice was Sc.

A BATTALION OF ARTILLERY
viii Shortly be Mustered Into Service at
Berkeley Springs.

The West Virginia National
Guard will shortly have one of
the finest battalions of artillery
in the country.
The organization Of a battalion
of artillery at Berkeley Springs
has been authorized by Governor
Atkinson, and the battery will
soon be mustered into the service
of the State.
The Brigade Commander has
selected Harry Gordon Strong as
captain, The first lientenants
will be selected later. and the
second lieutenants will be select
ed out of the enrolment.
Considerable interest attaches
to the organization of this artil-
lery battalion for it will be the
first in the Stata, and will add
materially to the efficiency of the
Guard.
This new battalion promises
soon to take rank as one of the
crack artillery organizations of
the country.
The people of Berkeley Springs
and Berkeley county are deeply
interested in the movement. The
petition to the Governor and
Brigade officers state that it is
the intention to make the battal-
ion the best drilled, best mounted
and best equipped battery in the
United States.
Over two hundred staunch men
of Berkeley county, with two hun
dred and thirty four horses, have
signified their desire to enlist.
Out of this number the requir-
ed number will be selected for
listment. 1t also promises to be
unique. Nearly every man inter
ested in the artillery owns a horse
which will be put at the disposal
of the battalion. Every Satur-
day all the farmers in Berkeley
county go to Berkeley Springs
with two and four horse teams.
1t is proposed that in the future
they will participate in artillery
drills, ETC.. on these Saturdays.
The men of Berkeley Springs
say that the best men of the
county are interested, and that
the movement has the support
and sympathy of all. They are
in earnest. The battalion will be
organized into six sections, and
will be equipped with with four
3-inch steel rifles.
No less than sixty horses will
be needed. Thus there will be
plenty of reinforcements to draw
from. Many more men and horses
than are needed have enlisted.

BEAR AND DOG FIGHT TO DEATH.

stashound Chung So Tight to Bruin That
lie Came Out Harmless.
From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
The following capital bear story
comes from klickitat county. Washing
Ton, through correspondent, "A. NJ.
Not long ago a party of sheepmen,
consisting of Will Coleman, Milt More
head, George Van Ostran and a herder,
we're i'm the vicinity Of swamp corrals,
on the Upper klickitat river. when they
discovered yearling brown bear. The
party had with them a number of coy
ote hounds and shepherd dog and the
dogs Immediately freed the bear. The
bear. being only yearling, and freed
so easily. Van Ostran offered to climb
the tree and shake him out, evidently
thinking him on par with a coon, but
the bear, refusing to be shaken, held on
with tenacity
4 rope was then thrown Van Ostran,
who made a moose and with a dextrous
throw succeeded in catching the bear
about the head. One of the men Of the
party was riding a good COW horse and
to him Van Ostran threw the end of the
rope, and the latter. taking turn
around the horn of the saddle, succeed
ed in bringing down the bear. And now
the fight began in earnest The bear
made rush for the horse, and struck
out with his right paw so we'll that he
cut a deep cash in the horses shoulder
and at the same time freed himself
from the lariat.
The sheepmen, believing that discre-
tion is ever the better part of valor. be-
took themselves without loss of time to
the highest limb of a bull pine. where
they could III safety watch the battle
going on below.
The bear had successfully routed the
three hounds, when the shepherd dog
decided to take hand in the game.
The bear made a swpe at MIN. and,
catching him by the collar. held on,
While the shepherd dog danced a jig.
Havin1; rid himself one by one of the
dogs, it looked as though bruin was
coming out high cock . the game,
when Rather, a stag hound belonging
to A. Smythe. seized the bear by the
throat. and was Immediately locked in
an embrace such as only bear can
give, and the two rolled over and over
on the ground But the hound held on
and lay apparently so close TO the
bears breast that he was unable to
squeeze him very hard
They fought thus for 20 minutes, UNI
i'll at last the bear succumbed, with his
windpipe cut in two. one of the men
said he had seen many bear fight in
his day. but never such a game fight as
on this occasion. 1t is needless TO say
that Rather is much nonored in Airing
ton as the champion bear dog.
