that there Will be a joint debate between
Captain Lamb and Mr.. Wallace. This

doubtless be packed with voters.

ACCIDENT OR MURDER
w. D. Farrar Found Dead In Court In
Eluefield.
(special Dispatch TO Tho I'll,

Especial Dispatch to The Times)
BLUEFIELD. w. VA, Sept. 1.-The
body of w. D. Farrar, a young railroad
man, was found yesterday morning in
the light and air court between the
Mcador land building and the sidewalk.
The belief was that he had fallen from
a seat on the railing that runs along the
street side of the narrow court On his
head were several injuries, the scalp be-
ing cut open four or five inches. and
bruised place behind the right ear His
watch had stopped at 1908 O'Clock. and
the supostion was that he had fallen at
that hour. Suspicion of foul play was
aroused by the nature of his wounds
and the fact that the fall was only about
ten feet.
Such was the verdict of the coroner's
jury. Farrar was seen in the company
of several men Friday. and it was re-
ported that one of the men had inquired
for him. This gave rise to rumors of va
rious kinds and the police arrested the
men. Opinion as to whether he was muir
dered or killed by the fall is divided. and
it is probably mystery that will never
be cleared up. Young Farrar was
fagman on the Pocahontas Division He
came here with his brothers and father
several years ago from Lynchburg, and
was well liked by all who knew him. His
remains were taken to Evergreen, Apo
mattox county, Va, this morning.
