LETTERS TO SANTA CLAUS.
To THE LITTLE FoLKS:-


 THE TRIBUNE will open it's columns in the issue of December p to all the little folks in and around Green Forest for the pulp lication of letters to Santa Claus. THE TRIBUNE hopes to assist it's little friends in appealing to Santa in such manner as to enable them to get just what they desire for Xmas presents.
 Letters should always be sent in as early as possible so they can be arranged for publication. After telling Santa Claus what you would most enjoy for Xmas presents, sign your name in full and give your age.
 THE TRIBUNE desires that these letters be written by the children themselves as far as possible. They might not have the desired effect if written by any one else.
 We hope to hear from our little friends now as rapidly as possi- ble. Who will send in the first letter?

W. S. HULL ASSAULTED.
Result OF an Attempt to Suppress the
Illicit Sale OF Liuuor

Former Justice of the Peace W. $. Hull.
of Alexandria county. is lying at his home.
on the Chain Bridge Read, in Washington
district. Alexandria county. suffering from
severe injuries received as the result of
an assault upon him Sunday evening last
near the Fort Myer reservation. His al
legged assalants. who are said TO be known
TO the authorities. are still at large bur
all investigation of the affair is being
made.
The story Of the assault comes as a Sc
quel to the efforts of certain citizens Of
the county to stop Illegal selling OF liquor
on Sunday. Constantly the Sunday liquor
law is said TO he violated in the county
but until recently. it is stated the efforts
to close the saloons at Rosslyn. Jackson
City and elsewhere have proved futile.
Within the past few months citizens OF the
county have redoubled their efforts to pre-
vent violations Of the law in question. and
the attack made upon Hun. who has been
securing evidence in certain cases for the
Commonwealth. is regarded as a move on
the part of those who violate the law TO
prevent prosecution.
Justice Hull spent Sunday afternoon
about Rosslyn, and during The evening is
said TO have lied a saloon near Fort
Myer. How long he was in the place is

was brutality assaulted. He was knocked
in the head with club, it is said, and was
unconscious for several hours. He was
carried TO a bedroom in the saloon where
the trouble took place and left unattended
until after midnight when friends reached
the place with n wagon and removed the
wounded man to his home. There a physi-
clan was summoned. who found Huh in
serious condition. Aside from several Sc
we're cuts on the head the patient had
been struck many times about the body
and was weak from loss of blood. II was
at first thought Hull would die as the re-
suit OF his injuries. but he was reported
as improving yesterday.
Information of the assault on Hull was
conveyed to Sheriff Palmer yesterday
morning and he is now investigating the
case Hull stated yesterday that he would
procure warrants for the arrest of his as
sailants when able 90 leave the house. but
arrests will probably follow the investi
cation now in progress
