SHOT IN ELECTION FIGHT.
Wise County Politician Killed And
His AssaiIant Wounded.

Bristol Especially w. J. Hopkins
died at Wise as result of a shoot
ing ARRAY at the Wise polling place
during the election. VI. S. Skeen,
who did the shooting, is at large,
and so far all efforts OF officers to
locate him have been futile. A quar-
rel between the two men, who were
working together at the polls. arose
over Hopkins having challenged a
prospective voter. Skeen left the
polls and returned five minutes later
with a double-barreled shotgun
with which he shot Hopkins as the
latter pulled the trigger of his pis-
tol.
Hopkins was shot in the breast,
and he sank down mortally wounded
Skeen also sustained serious
wound. In the excitament Skeen es-
capped by the assistance of friends
Hopkins leaves a wife and several
children. Both men were prominent
ly connected in Southwest Virginia
and we'll known in Wise County poll
tics. Efforts will be made to have
Gov. Swanson offer a reward for the
apprehension of Skeen, and this will
be supplemented by the dead mans
friends.
It is reported that Skeen is mere
ly in temporary hiding, and will sur
render himself to the authorities as
soon as the excitement attending the
tragedy subsidies.

TROUBLE All THE FAIR.
Receivership For Jamestown Expo
sition Is. Talked or.

Norfolk (S p ciaD With the
jamestown Exposition drawing near
the end of its stormy course re-
receivership for it is likely.
The National Meter Company. OF
New York, through it's local attor-
ney. Joseph T. Lawless. formerly Sec
retary Of the Commonwealth of Vir-
ginia, has brought a chancery suit
against the Exposition company in
which a receivership is asked. A
decree of reference has been entered
in the case and on the report of the
master the issue OF the receivership
hangs According to well-informed
opinion, it will call for the appoint
ment of a receiver
Not the least of the Exposition's s
financial troubles IS the direct result
OF the action OF the directors in prac-
ticaily forcing Mr.. James NJ. Barr
out OF the director and
eiectine MIR. Alyah Fl. Martin In his
stead. In a time of sore need the
railroads with terminals here and
perhaps steamship lines, pooled in
terests and raised a sum estimated
at between 100000 and $500, 600
to aid the Exposition Exposition
money and a condition was that Mr..
Barr was to serve as dfrector-gen-
eral, supervise the expenditure OF the
money and have. absolute control Of
the management of the Exposition
The Exposition stockholders and
directors enacted the necessary
amendments to the bylaws of the
corporation in agreement with the
demands of the transportation lines
and Mr.. Barr was elected and took
charge. Friction was not long in
coming, chiefly over social affairs, and
Barr twice resigned. saying that he
could not remain under existing
condition" which was an allegation
that the Exposition was not living up
to Its contract with him. The rail-
roads took the same view.
So did George b. Cortelyou, Sec
retary of the United States Treasury
who is in the capacity OF Govern
ment agent for the collection OF the
100000 loan made the Exposition
by the Government, and a small frac-
tion of which has been paid Mr.
Martins friends then got together a
decided minority OF the directorate.
accepted Mr.. Barr's resignation and
elected Mr.. Martin The railroads
had put up their money as agreed
but with the exception OF the pay
ment OF one line, the Chesapeake and
Ohio, it had not yet been turned
over to. the Exposition. The money
was withdrawn. This was a blow to
the creditors. The railroad compan-
les claimed that the Exposition had
broken its contract with them
In the face of all the trouble en-
countered the management OF the
Exposition Is even now making an
effort to reopen the Exposition next
year. but it is not meeting with much
encouragement.

Alleged 70 BE Fraudulent
Scheme.

Richmond Especially In the ar
rest of o. Augustus Wright, a negro,
for fraudulent use of the mails, Post
Office Inspector Hal B. kosmy is be-
lieved to have suppressed systema-
tic and well-defined scheme to rob
the negroes of Virginia. Many thou
sands of dollars are said to have
been fraudulently obtained
The specific charge on which
Wright was arrested was that of OBJ
tanning by misrepresentation a sum
of money, as an insurance premium,
from Stonewall J. Blow, of Shippers.
Wright's scheme was worked in
such "a way as to make detection diff
cult. He advertised IN various county
newspapers that he was conducting a
sick benefit Insurance company and
invited correspondence. In response
to inquiries he would state that $2.50
would secure a sick benefit policy
that would pay $3.50 n week in case
of sickness and 500 at death. Up
on receiving his money Wright would
explain that the organization was
brotherhood. and entirely secret.
Not even its name was to be men,
toned to any one except himself.
No member knew VINO the other
members were, and there were no
meetings to attend.

HIGH JUMPING AT SEA.


"The most stupendous of all leap
ers of tho sea, says a writer in Out
ing, lis the whale. 1 have seen a
monster weighing hundreds of tons,
possibly eighty feet in length, rise
slowly and deliberately out of the
water until it appeared to be dancing
on the surface, entirely clear of it,
then sink slowly back
Such leap is on record In the
annals of the British Navy. A large
whale cleared boat, going COM
pletely over it, an estimated leap Of
twenty feet in air-how many in
lateral direction was not known.
Exactly how high a tuna can leap
it is difficult to say. I have seen the
water beaten into foam by them four
miles distant. and have a photograph
showing a fish-a black streak at
least mile distant high in the air.
a jump of certainly ten or fifteen
feet; and it is my opinion, based on
what / have seen, that it is possible
for lusty tuna at full speed to pro-
ject itself twenty feet into the air and
thirty or forty feet in a horizontal
direction.
Il judge the latter possible from
the leap Of big tuna which cleared
the kelp and landed high on the
rocks Santa Catalina. l have often
stood III the centre Of school of
leaping tunas and watched them, but
the situation Is not one suggestive Of
repose or peace OF mind"
