A PROMINENT vlaGlslAM IN MISSOURI

Major Blake l.. Woodson who en-
joys The distinction of being one of
the most successful and brilliant
criminal lawyers in the state, is Il
Virginian, and was born in Bote-
tourt county, He graduated from
.lynchburg college in 1853 and com
pleted his education at the Universi-
~ of Virginia, after which he al-
tended the law school of John w.
Brockenbrough at Lexington, Va.
He entered the Confederate army as
first lieutenant of artillery. May /,
1871, ami was subsequently placed
on the staff of General j. b. Floyd.
At the death of that officer he was
promoted to the rank CT Major and
served AS brevet Lille uteuant Colonel
until the close Of the war. He was
elected to the Legislature of Virginia
in 1868, and then later, in 1871, locat-
ed in this city. In 1884 he was elect>
ed prosecuting attorney of this coun-
~ and reelected in 1856.
Although engaged in general
practice he tlevOtes especial attention
To the criminal branch, and his rec
ord for the quarter of century at
the bar in this county shows him
TO be not only one of the most sue
cessful, but one ofthe most profound,
lawyers in the Stale. AS trial
lawyer he has few equals. Before a
jury he is eloquent, fnrcible and log
zeal, and during his twenty-six years
practice here he has, perhaps, ar
gued larger number of important
criminal cases than any other lawyer
in the western part of the Stute,
notable among which might be men,
toned the Thomas Green murder
case, Robert Filzsimmons, Maurice
LA Cross, Alice Platt and many
others,
Major Woodson's argument on
Saturday last in defense OF John
Kennedy. charged with robb:ng the
Chicago and Alton railway train,
Was one Of the most eloquent and
convincing ever made in this county.
Next week he will defend John
Schlegel, who is charged with the
murder of DIR. Berger City
Times.

The News has repeatedly spoken
of the need of n better water supply
down Tazewell Avenue, for use in

were supplied. We learn with much
satisfaction tho Council is consider

measuring the different routes, max

the work will be speedily finished.

the large number of citizens in that
vicinity will need water and need it
