MILLION ARE IS KILLED.
Fate of Young Wentz Believed to BE
Hidden i'll Mountain Caves.

Fate Of Young Wentz Believed to Be
Hidden in Mountain Caves.
1t is now practically certain that Ed
ward Wentz, the young Philadelphia
millionaire who has been missing for
weeks was murdered by moonshiners
from the Virginia Kentucky line on top
of Black mountain. Notwithstanding

men were engaged, the body might still
have been undiscovered. The country
is Il succession of mountain ridges ana
gulches, with hundreds Of caves, some OF
them many miles long, and deep, abyss
Ike pits 1t is well-nigh impossible to
search such country thoroughly. The
moonshners had deep hatred for the
NentZes and for everyone connected
with the Virginia Iron and Coal Com
pany, of which young Wentz was gen

john McDanieIs, their leader, was shot
on Black mountain by a posse sent out
by Daniel Wentz, brother of Edward
Wentz, to destroy their stills, he was tor
tured to death in the company,s hos
pital at Stonega They were told by
men who said they had dug up his body
in the company's cemetery that his
throat was cut from ear to ear The
stories of torture grew out Of the fact
that physician at the hospital had re-
fused to allow the dying moonshiners
suspicious friends to see him, for fear
of Fastening his death. Now it is all
but certain the moonshiners have paid
back the Wcnt3es. They have shot one
Of them to death and kept his body Or

in the road as evidence Of their ven
