FOUND DEAD NEAR
WILLIAMSON
YOUNG MAN SUPPOSED no
HAVE BEEN MURDERED AND
ROBBED.

News reached here today of the
murder and robbery OF young
man named Smith. some distance
west OF Williamson. last Saturday
night. lt appears that the young
man was the son OF wealthy parents
who reside In Kentucky across the
river from Williamson and was
generally considered the black
sheep" of the flock. although he
was generally liked by the men
about town. Having tired OF the
happy-go-mcky life he was leading
and appreciating the fact that he
was disliked at home, he decided
TO join the army. Getting together
small amount of money he board
ed freight train and started for
Cincinnati. II is presumed that h.
came across hobo to whom he ex
planned the position OF his parents
and that the hobo thinking the
young man had money. shot him
through the back OF the head. rob
bed him or his small possessions
and throw him from the train. His
dead body was found along the
track later, and owing to the fact
that all OF the papers which he car
ried had been torn up II took con
siderable time to put enough OF
them together to tell who he was.
His Identity was not established
until late Sunday night and the re
mains were taken back to william
son Monday morning on No. 4.
Smith was n boy who was consid-
cred tough" but he had tender
heart and this drew him many
friends among all classes and he
will he generally missed around his
old haunts

Hon. Peyton st. Clair. OF Giles,
II. p. Bruce and r. Tate Irvine. OF
Wise, have all three been mention
ed as possible candidates for dis
trict elector.
IL is generally believed that the
resolutions will endorse the state
administrator and speak in eulo-
CYSTIC terms of william Jennings
Bryan. Opinions divided as TO in
structions for him. but from the
conversation / have had with many
delegates there is very strong
sentiment in favor OF sending an
instructed delegation. 1t is under
stood that Senator Daniel would
much prefer TO go uninstructed.
The Junior senator and Governor
Swanson have no objection to in
structions. and Ex-Governor Tyler
would prefer an instructed delega-
tion. The governor is an enthusi-
astic admirer OF Bryan and has
made several able speeches in his
behalf. The sentiment of Virginia
is overwhelmingly for Bryan wheth-
er an instructed delegation goes 10

There is 1.-the doubt THAT the
