Two Men Are Accused of Killing Mil

BRISTOL, Va, May 10. = The
shrunken and decayed body of Edward
L. Wentz, the Pennsylvania million
alre, who had been missing since last
October, was literally taken to pieces
this afternoon by physicians and de-
tect1ves in the coroner's Inquest at
Black Mountain. The startling fea-
ture was the discovery of a pistol ball
In the body which might have been
discharged from the empty pistol of
the same caliber found eighteen feet
from the remains. Several holes were
found in the clothing where other bull
lets entered, but beneath, them the
body was intact. The right hand was
missing and was probably borne away
by wild beasts. A white pearl button,
which could not have belonged to the
murdered man, was found near by.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 10.-War-
rants were served today on SiIas Ison
and Tom Wright, prisoners in jail at
Tazewell, Tenn, charging them with
the murder of E. L. Wentz. The two
men were being held in Jail on the
charge of being fugitives from Justice
awaiting orders from Virginia. A
probable cause of ennity between the
men and Wentz was that Wentz was
strongly opposed to their running a
blind tiger in Wise county, Virginia,

Looking back to industrial conditions
as they existed in a past generation,
laboring at the forge and anvil under
the supervision of their fathers; the
sons of carpenters taking lessons at
the bench under the same direction,
and so on all along the line in the me-
chanical arts. These young men came
to their ajority with a good practical
knowledge of trades whereby they
were early able to earn a living and
establish homes and families of their
own. Parental responsibility and
common sense ruled in those days, and
asked no questions. Like the cele-
grated Jim Bludsoe fathers

And went for it thar and then
And the result was that their sons
came to manhood equipped for the
battle of life with the combined forces

Farmers sons were apprenticed in
the same way. naturally and without
question, and in perhaps a lesser de
gree the sons of professional men were
given start in life as aids in their
fathers work. And how about the
daughters? Turn to the simple annals
