HORRIBLE
MURDER
IN CLAY

SUTTON, W. Va, July 21--A
story of crime comes from Lyydale,
a village in Clay county, near the
Braxton county border. The re-
mains of Russell Perry, a lumber
grader in the employ of the G. l..
Ritter Lumber Company, on Big
Buffalo creek, were picked up by the
section crew at Jessica, a lumber
camp, three miles from Ivydale. A
freight train had run over the mans
body, and although it was terribly
mangled, marks of foul play were
plainly seen, a bullet hole being
found below one eye while his
throat had been cut from ear to
ear, apparently with pocket knife
or some such instrument.
Justice W. P. Hamrick, of Clay,
quickly summoned jury for an IN
quest and sufficient evidence was pro-
cured to jail three young men,
brothers, named Dickey, who had
been drinking with Perry, while two
other men are strongly suspected of
completely in the crime.
Evidence is said to have been
given the inquest to the effect that
Perry was beaten almost into in
by his companions, after
which he was shot, then held and his
throat cut. The. body was then
placed on the railroad track. Perry
was known to have had several hum
dred dollars on his person, of which
he was robbed. The remains were
to Farmer, KY, said to be
the dead mans home. A thorough
is being made. The
three Dickey boys are cousins OF
Sarah Ann Legg, who was sentenced
to be hanged by the circuit court
of Clay county at the last July term
for the murder of her husband, but
who has since obtained new trial,
which is now pending.

REV. KELIAN
IS CALLED

We clip the following from a
cat a congregational meeting of
Grace Baptist church, Trenton, N.
J., Monday night it was unanim-
ously decided to call Rev. j. c. Kill
liam, of Clarksburg, W. Va, former
ly of New Britain, to fill the pull
pit vacated by Rev. George w
Price, who several months ago ac-
cepted a call to the First Baptist
church of Phillipsburg.

will visit in Trenton July 20 and
will confer with the officers of the
church about the matter. His de-
cision will be given out some time
during his visit He will conduct
the services of the church on July
goth"
Bro. Killian feels greatly compli-
mented in the action of the Grace
Baptist church, of Trenton, for he
is well known there, and has -labored
in that city no little, and it was
there he out-married himself. We
have interviewed our dear Bro. Kill
liam about this important matter.
He assures us, we need not fear as he
feels his work Is not completed yet
IN West Virginia.
He and wife had arranged to visit
kindred in and near Trenton before
this loving demonstration took
place on the part of those wise,
coveteus Trenton saints.
Bro. Killian will preach for those
good people July %, and then tell
them with the courtesy and tact
with which he is abundantly endow-
ed that the people and the Lord
still have need of him in West Vir-
ginia, and therefore he cannot go
down to Trenton.-Baptist Banner.

GAVE COKE
TO CHILDREN

Dopey Tom Wells had a narrow
escape for his life yesterday after
noon. The fellow is said to have
given coke to two little Pike street
tots, the oldest of whom is not more
than six. The occurrence ia aileg-
ed to have been late yesterday after
noon.
Another child, somewhat older,
was a witness to it. She saw Tom
give the children the stuff from a
small white box and when someone
produced cocaine and asked her if
that was what Tom had she at once
said that was the stuff.
The father of the children at once
started out on hunt for Tom but
didn't find him and it's mighty
good thing for the latter that he
wasn't found. Chief Scott was
notified and Officer Whyte arrested
Tom and lodged him in jail.
He was before the mayor this
and denied giving any
drugs to the children and insisted
that he had perfume in a bottle and
allowed them to smell that. The
mayor says there is no law by which
Tom could be prosecuted but he was
remanded to Jail. He will be re-
leased tonight.

GOOD NERVE

A bit of daring and bravery by a
mere boy made spectators In
thrilling runaway at noon today SIT
up and take notice. A team attach
ed to road wagon driven by Azor
Williams, son of the owner w. s.
Williams, became frightened near
Second street while descending the
Main street hill and ran away Down
the steep grade they ran with the
bow doing his utmost to stop them
Near the bridge the horses broke
loose and the wagon yeered and was
headed directly for the railing that
guards the approach of the bridge.
Below this there is some thirty feet
sheer drop, but the boy, who is prob
ably eighteen, stuck to the wagon
and held the brake with all his
strength. The wagon struck and
broke a portion of the railing but
did not quite go over. The boys
nerve in staying with the vehicle
and applying the brake saved it
from destruction. The horses ran
across the bridge and out Monticello
avenue but the kid gave them good
chase and caught them before they
had gone a great distance. The
horses were uninjured and the wagon
to no great extent.
