Big Wind Storm.

On last Saturday night another big wind
storm visited our community. About ten
o'clock the gale began to blow and it con-
tinued throughout the night. 1t was so
heavy as to alarm tie occupants Of many
houses, especially the women and children.
When daylight came it vas found that a
number of business signs had been blown
down in town, among them signs in front
of the stores of ]. B. Hankins & Co., j. E.
Jackson and the REPUBLIcAN office. The
awning in, front of the store of Harrison
& Gillespie Bros, was blown down and
one of the glasswindows in front of the dry
goods department smashed. One of the
large front windows of Hankins' store was
also shattered to pieces. The final or
point of. the tower on the courthouse was
bent by the strong wind and now leans con-
siderably to the westward. The storm
was from the east or southeast. Sergeant
McClintock had two valuable fruit trees
blown up by the roots, and part of Chin
ney at the residence Of Mrs. Betsy Peery
was blown down.

BAD BLOOD BROOOlNG.
Two Very UnfavorabIs Exhibitions show
ing Bad Temper.

The taking of dispositions in the con-
tested congressional election case of Gen.
James A. Walker against Judge VIM. F.
Rhea, is developing come exhibitions of
bad blood upon the part Of the latter.
This morning, while taking dispositions in
the old News office building on Cumber-
land street, all alteration arose in which
Judge Rhea struck at Gen. Walker across
table. Those present prevented col
lision between the two contestants.
This is the second exhibition of bad
blood that Judge Rhea has made during
the taking of depositions in Bristol. The
first was last Saturday night week ago,
when he attacked one ofGeneral Walkers
witnesses with violent oaths and cursings
and when the General reproved the Judge
for being out of order, he proceeded to
pronounce his blasphemous epithets upon
him. These were quickly responded to in
a similar manner by the General, when
the Judge arose and drew his pistol from
his pocket, evidently intending to bluff
the General, who coolly kept his seat,
stating that he was not coward enough to
90 armed, and deliberately denounced the
Judge as blufing, bullying coward, stat
ing that he twice attempted the same
braggadocio methods of the tough during
tie campaign last fall, and equally with
out success, and told the Judge if he would
lay down his pistol upon the table, he
(Walker) would whip him (Rhea) with his
one arm. 1t is needless to state that MIR.
Rhea did not accept Gen. Walkers chal-
lenge to fair fist fight, although the Gen
eral has use Of only one arm. 1t is quite
evident that bullying bluff don't effect
menIof the old "Stonewall Brigade" stamp.
1t is perhaps due Judge Rhea to state
that it is said that he was drinking, OF
else he possibly would not have acted as
he did in drawing his gun. We do not
state whether this latter is true or not
But however that may be, it would be nc
excuse for such action by the judge. The
impression prevails that the real cause O
The Judges ire consists in the fact thai
General Walker is showing up the methods
practiced by the opposition in the election
here last November. Said election meth

Accidentally Shot.

shot himself on Tuesday with small bore

rades were using in target practice.
The boys were at Mr.. Alexander's stable,
and while John was handling the gun it
was accidentally discharged. The ball en-
tered his right leg, on the right side, just
below the knee, ranged downward, and
then turned across tie front of the leg.
DR.. Crockett, who was called in, found the
ball by probing. made an incission and re-
moved it. The wound is not serious, and
DR.. Crockett thinks the young patient will
be about in few days. John stood the

Time-TrIed and Firs-Tested

are the companies represented by the J.
+. Hurt Insurance Agency. In the great
Chicago fire, in 1871. where over two thou
sand acres of solid city were swept away,
or an area of nearly four square miles, the
companies in this agency paid their losses,
in full, while eighty other companies we're
bankrupted. Seven companies In this
agency alone paid ninteen millions of dol
lars. Thirteen months later the egreat Bos.
ton fire swept away seven hundred and
eighty brick and stone buildings in
the heart of the city, and these same
seven companies were called on to con.
tribute eight millions more; and again
they paid their losses in full, while some
forty companies that escaped the Chicago
fire we're bankrupted by the Boston fire.
Why should you take policy in a COM
pany that has not been tested, when a
policy in one of these old, reliable compa-
MES will cost you no more?

ABOUT DEVILS DEN.
The superstitlous Stand In Awe Of the
Big Creyice.

1t will be remembered that week or
two ago the Tribune located natural phe-
nomenon near the line between Washing
ton and Russell counties, known in that
section as Devils Den." A description
of the eden" was given, based on infor-
nation obtained from couple of gentle
men from the Russell border. The article
was copied by an exchange in neighbor-
ing town, and this exchange, probably be-
lieving that fake had been perpetrated,
called on one of its subscribers in the low
er end of Washington county to send a
description of the "den." The call was
responded to in a letter from Craig's Mill,
from which the following is taken;
"Devil's Dem is located about a mile
north of Fleenors, Va, between Rich VAL
ley and Caney Valley, about midway be-
tween the two. This deep, dark cavern,
when viewed from its gaping month, gives
one a pretty good idea of Hades. 1t is
about 500 feet long by &c feet wide, and
varies in depth from 80 to 100 feet. 1t
has dark, charred walls, and looks as
though at some time huge quantity OF
coal might have been burned from be-
tween the walls.
"As to the Indian legend attached to
the story. ne have no knowledge. But,
however, there are some superstitious peo-
pie who live in the vicinity of the cavern
who will not go near the place at night.
They claim that awful sights may be seen
there, ghosts, goblins and ladies without
heads. This we cannot vouch for, as we
have never seen any of these uncanny
things.
There is, however, a true story connect
ed with the cavern: A few years ago
a couple from Wise county passed through
here en-route to Bristol to get married.
They stopped with relatives near the cav
ern. They got two young ladies and
went to Bristol the next day. They were
delayed some time in Bristol getting license,
preacher, etc., consequently they were
after dark passing "Devil's Den" on their
return. Two young men, who happened
to be out 'possum hunting that night, mis-
took one of the bridesmaids for one of the
ghosts of the den, emptied the contents of
q donhlo.h .harrel oun at her. which came
very near proving fatal, the shot having
to be extracted from the young lady's legs
by physician. The two young nimrods
footed the bill.
"We can vouch for the truthfulness of
this statement, but not one of the Indian
legends and ghost stories, and we leave
"Devil's Den" for the readers to imagine
something of its appearance and to visit it
at their leisure. Bristol Tribune.
