ONE MAN AND
5 STEERS KILLED
Severe Electrical Storm on Sat-
urday and Monday and High
Water Does Damage.

Tazewell and vicinity has been
visited recently by number OF
severe electrical and rain storms
which did damage to crops, bridges,
ETC., besides causing the death of one
man and seven head of cattle In this
community. On last Saturday after
noon, colored man named Oscar
kindle, was killed by lightning on
the farm of Mr.. n. j. Steele, east OF
town.
With three other men, he took shelter
from She storm under tree, when he
was killed, the others shocked-one
OF them very severely.
On Monday morning early during
one of the heaviest thunder storms
ever known here, five fine steers were
killed instantly, and by single
bolt OF lightning, on the farm of
Capt. &. A. Fudge, near North Taze-
we'll. The steers were not under any
tree when struck, but there was
large sugar maple not far away.
Other reports OF casualties are report-
ed from other sections. There was hail
I'm Monday mornings storm, and
some damage was done To growing
crops In the county. Mr.. =. II.
Peery, who lives near Pisgah, reports
"A field OF corn badly damaged, while
bridges were washed away on por-
lions OF the railroad down theClinch.
This section WAS vividly reminded OF
the Hood OF June 22, 1901, when a
storm almost Identical visited this
and adjoining counties, la which
there was great loss of life and pro-
perty, particularly ON the Elkhorn
and In western part OF this county.

PREACHERIN TOLLS
FOR MOONSINlNG
Rev. Mr.. ChildreSs, Claimed He
Only Made Whiskey For
Medicinal Purposes.

While the ministers of the state
are doing all they can TO put a stop
to the sale OF liquor, one of their
number, according TO the Blueiield
Telegraph, is eXerting himself in
the opposite direction. According to
this report, Rev. JesSee Childress, of
Buchanan county, was arrested last
week and tried before United States
Commissioner on charge of Illicit
distilling. The preacher did not deny
the charge, but claimed i'm justifica-
tion, that he was only making IL for
medical purposes-that his and his
wife's health is poor, aat a stimu-
liant was badly needed ~ the family,
and he considered it no harms TO
make little OF the needful for his
own use. Mr.. Childress is we'll
known in Buchanan county, and
breaches every Sundy TO large con-
gregations. He was held in a bond of
$500 for his appearance before the
grand jury.

THE BOND ISSUE
BY BIG MAJORITY
Out of IIS Votes Cast Only 6
Against the lSsue-Forward
Move For Tazewell.

The election held here on Tuesday
submitting 10 the voters the question
of an issue of bonds TO erect new
school building here, was n very quiet
one. There were 112 votes cast, only
of these being against the issue.
The amount of the bonds is $50, 600.
The smallness of the vote is not
due to opposition TO the measure en-
tirely or perhaps not at all, but to
the fact that many people had for
gotten, if they had ever known, that
the election was to be held on Tues
day. However, the vote carried, and
Tazewell will have n new, modern
school building, so long and so badly
needed. 1t is stated that work will
begin as soon as possible. The old
building will be torn away, and the
new one erected on nearly the same
site. 1t is TO be hoped that the new
building will be placed farther back
from the street, and nearer the center
of the lot, both for convenience
and appearance.

NO BETTING ON RAGING
Potecfion Under the Law i'm New York
WIN Soon he Thing of
The Past

New York, April 1.-The Times this
morning says:
Betting under the protection of the
law as an adjunct to horse racing
passed the point yesterday where II
might be classified as even a forlorn
hope for the partisans of racing in
Now York. There was not even the
shadow of a suggestion from any per-
son Interested in racing as to Il means
of changing the course of legislation
which seems obvious. Even the belief
which existed with certain elements
that bribery might succeed when all
other means failed TO beat the Hart
Agnew bills, has faded to the point that
no reasonable man now Will believe
that u corruption fund large enough to
serve the purpose could be raised on
be effective. BY racing men generally
the concession is made that the anti
betting legislation is inevitable, The
concern of the men TO whom racing
is a matter of business is now directed
to the possibilities of racing being
continued In the face of the prohibi-
ton of public betting, which all agree
was an essential factor in the populari-
ty which racing achieved under the
Percy Gray law.
The owners and managers OF the race
tracks, for all the great amounts they
have invested in race track property,
are not more keenly interested than the
main body of the professional horse
men, who, as owners and breeders,
look to the race tracks for their sub
sistence. The prospect for them Is that
the value OF their property will be
sharply reduced. for II is to be expected
that the first effect of the passage of
the law will be TO reduce the attend
ance and cut down receipts, which the
tracks confidently may be expected to
discount by corresponding reduction
IN the amounts of the stakes and purses
offered.
The opening of the New York racing
season under the old provisions OF the
Percy Gray law will be on April Is at
the Aqueduct track. and 1t has been
announced by the managers OF the
course that regardless of what may
come in the way of legislation the meet
Ing will open and be run of under the
terms of the schedule approved by the
Jockey club. The program of purses
has not yet been announced, and horse
men are looking ahead to general
reduction of the purses, although the
stakes already closed have their usual
values.
The experiment in prospect at the
opening of the Aqueduct track viii be
the same which failed when betting was
suppressed on the Chicago race tracks,
at St Louis and In New Jersey, at the
Linden and Elizabeth tracks. To fol-
low up the Aqueduct meeting the man
ayers of other tracks have asserted
that they would run off their stakes
for the present year at least, and the
prospect is that IL the plan announced
is carried out the New York race tracks
will risk big losses.

COLOMBIA AND PANAMA
Washington Docs Not Regard Despite
Over the Boundary Question
As Serious.

Panama. April IA meeting called
by the government 10 discuss the
boundary question between Colombia
and Panama and the occupation OF
Juarado by Colombian troops was held
at the presidential palace today. 1t was
attended by the members OF President
Amadors cabinet and representatives
of all political parties in the republic.
The general opinion expressed at the
beginning was that the United states
government cannot refuse TO comply
with it's obligations as specified in the
canal treaty TO guarantee Panama's
integrity, which is now menaced and
compel Colombia to evacuate Juarado
and submit the whole matter TO the
arbitration OF third power.
The meeting, which lasted two hours.
unanimously approved vote OF conf
dence in the government for the patrl-
otto manner In which the negotiations
are being carried on
NOT CONSIDERED SERIOUS.
Washington, April 3,-While the
United states has guaranteed the in
dependence of the republic OF Panama,
II has not guaranteed her Independence
OF all obligations az a sovereign ma
ton in her dealings with other nations.
with this view predominant among Of
ficlals here, the reported Invasion by
do Is looked upon as not In itself IA
casus belli, but rather as an inevitabls
warning TO Panama to awaken to the
necessity Of becoming an active party
TO diplomatic negotiations for the am
icable adjustment OF numerous open
questions pending between herself and
Colombia and Costa Rica.
The town of Juarado Is described as
disputed territory between Colombia
and Panama. in which Colombia seems
10 have a shade the stronger argu-
ment No apprehension Is entertained
that the reported Colombian invasion"
has any serious Significance. state de-
partment officials dlsclaim any inten-
ton OF arranging for armed represent
taton IN the vicinity of the infant re-
public and the navy department records
show that no naval vessels are In the
vicinity OF Panama. Dispatches have
been received by tho state department
reporting the alleged Colombian inya-
sion, but II Is said 80 far no action
has been taken.
