Colonel Campbell Slemp, the
only Republican Congressman. from
Virginia, some days ago sprung q
joke on the country in proposing
to create new State. from adjacent
portions of Virginia, Kentucky
and Tennessee. Some persons seem
to take the matter seriously. The
new State could not be created
without the consent OF the three
States from which the territory
would be taken, and this they
would not do. &

Robert Bow1es Hanged Friday
at Covington.

Rabert Bowles, colored, who
shot and killed Fireman John A.
Ruff of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway yards at Clifton Forge
on the 21st of last March, was
executed for his crime last Friday
morning within the jail enclosure
at Covington, Allegheny county.
A written confession, dated March
II, 1905, was signed by Bowles,
in which he states that the shoot
ing was done in self defense. The
murdered NJ an. Mr.. John A. Ruff,
wos con of Mr.. aud Mrs. Samuel
T. Ruff, formerly Of near Lexing-
ton, and he was we'll known in
this community, where he was
reared.
The murderer was tried twice,
the verdict being death in each
case. His counsel petitioned the
Supreme Court Of Appeals for a
new trial, and that tribunal de-
clined to grant the appeal.
The murder was vicious and
cold blooded. Mr.. Ruff spoke to
the man about the way he was do
ing his work, and an insolent re-
DIV was made. The fireman re-
sented the language used by the
negro, and as he started to where
the negro was standing the lat
ter drew a revolver and shot
him through the body. q
Bowles made his escape and was
captured after a long chase. 1t
was thought that the man would
be lynched, but the evidence was
90 plain and his conviction such a
certainty that friends Of the MUIR
dered man were content to let
the law take its course.
