MANY YEARS AGO
Jas. W. Davis Was Well Known

Counties.

A dispatch from Hinton, Va,
under date of July 18th says: Col.

Springs, a summer resort ten miles
east of the city, aged eighty.four
years, after a short illness. He
resided at Coffman, Greenbrier
county. at which place the re.
mains were buried. He was a
prominent citizen and lawyer. He
was a candidate for Congress six
teen years ago and was defeated,
but has always been an active Re-
publican. He moved to this State
in 1906 from Greenup county,
KY, and conceived the idea of in.
vesting in coal lands near here.
The investments have been very
profitable, and he leaves an estate
worth over half a million, princi-
pally in Fayette AMI Raleigh coun
ties. He also owned controlling
interest in the famous Z n Q
Springs.
Many of the old citizens of Crit.
tenden and Livingston counties
will remember the deceased. Mr..
Hickman Walker who was acquain-
ted with Mr.. Davis, says. that he
came to this section of the state
about 1850. He was interested in
the old Hopewell iron furnace Cd.

The Democratic State central
committee in its meeting at Frank
fort this week, very plainly and
positively disapproved of the inn
ovation made by chairman Young
In his apparent arbitrary removal
of local committeeman. In Lou
isville and in Lexington the chair
man removed a number of CON-
mitteemen and appointed others
in their places. Following this
precedent the chairmen of county
committees in the Third Judicial
district were removed at a time a
judicial primary was pending.
These arbitrary removals are un.
democratic, and the decisive ac-
ton of the committee in disap-
proving them and reinstating the
old committees was timely, and
the party and State central CON-
mittee are to be congratulated
upon the wise course pursued.

Shot a 400 Pound Bear.

Marvin Howard of Londonderry
shot bear weighing over 400 pounds
in the town of Mount Tabor Friday
afternoon. The animal was one of
the largest specimens that has been
killed in southern Vermont in recent
years. Howard and party of friends
had been camping near what is known
as Devils Den" for several days in
search of deer. The bear was seen
Friday afternoon a few rods from their
camp and a bullet from Howard's rifle
struck the animal in the neck and
broke its backbone. Evidently 1t had
been caught in a trap several years
ago for one of its front feet was gone
although the stump was entirely heal
ed. Howard took the carcass to
Londonderry Saturday. He will make
a good thing out of his capture for in
addition to the bounty he received $50
for the pelt and secured enough fat to
make nearly $40 worth of oil. A small
WASN'T of fat was taken from the
carcass.

THROWN FROM HIS HORSE.
Louis I. Allen Badly Injured Wednes-
day Eyeninu on West River Road.

Louis l. Allen. youngest son of Mr..
and Mrs. C. E. Allen. was severely
/ injured Wednesday evening as the re-
suit of being thrown and trampled
upon by horse. His left ear was cut
nearly in two and he sustained a deep
cash just behind the ear. The acci-
dent occurred shortly after s o'clock
near the top of the hill leading from
West river bridge. Allen and Fred c.
Adams were returning from a ride up
the Putney road, the former being
mounted on a white bronco owned by
Marshall Moves. The animal had not
been out of its stall since the last day
of the Valley fair but it did not act
at all spirited until. halfway up the
HILL the riders met Charles A. Harris's
automobile. At first the bronco re-
fused to pass the machine, but Allen,
who is an excellent and fearless rider,
finally succeeded in forcing his mount
forward When nearly at the top of
the hill the bronco began to buck vic
iously, refusing to go in either direc-
tion. Allen was standing in the STIR
rups trying to control the animal when
1t SHE'D suddenly and he was thrown
under the horses hoofs.
Julius E. Leach was driving by just
as Allen fell. and he says that both the
bronco's hind hoofs struck the fallen
man squarely in the side of the head
f1OWdTu Weilliidll hiso udppclISu " oc
near at the time and he ran to Aliens
assistance while Leach chased after
Mr. Harris. Allen was unconscious
when first picked up and did not re-
vive until a few minutes afterward. He
was placed in Mr.. Harris's automobile
and taken to the office of DR.. Robert
c. Aldrich who sewed up the wounds.
Later he was taken to his home. In
ternal injuries We're at first feared but
a careful examination revealed no Sc
rious trouble. DR.. Aldrich thinks
the wounds must have been made by
glancing blow from one of the horses
front feet as a direct blow from one of
the rear hoofs would have in all proba- |
bility shattered the skull. Mr.. Allen |
is getting along well and will be at |
work next week.

for the Governorship.

For the enlightenment of the papers
that have been linking the name of
District Attorney James L. Martin
with the governorship campaign of
1905, The Reformer states Mr.. Martins
personal views on the subject: Il
wouldn't enter the field" says he, "if
l We're sure of the nomination. 1t is
true that a number of politicians have
been to me about the matter but / have
told them all the same thing. Being
governor interferes with lawyers
practice more than $500 worth, and
besides my term as United States dis
trict attorney does not expire for over
two years. Mr.. Martin evidently
knows good thing when he has it,
and does not intend TO let his political
aspirations prevent his holding a good
federal position as long as he can.

There is much anger in China over
the seizure of Mukden by Russia
Some of the hotheaded members of the
council have advised the dowager en-
press to declare war on Russia because
of the seizure of Mukden and send
troops to release the Tartar general,
whose detention at Mukden growing
out of the decapitation of the Chinese
bandit who had enlisted in the Rus
sian service, but who fell into the
hands of the Chinese after the Rus
slams had evacuated Mukden, wounded
Chinese susceptibilties, as it is con-
sidered to be not only an insult to a
high official but as insulting to the Chi
nese government itself. Better in
formed officials, however, realize the
helplessness of China and the madness
of attempting to go to war with Rus
sia. Their counsels have hitherto pre-
vailed. though there is much war talk
in the native press and among the
younger Chinese officials
