FIVE STILLS BROKEN
UP In RUSSELL COUNTY

by Revenue Officers.

Honaker, Va, Dec. 22. One of the
most destructive moonshine raids ever
made in Russell county was pulled Off
about ten miles from this place Friday
and Saturday.
A posse of revenue officers composed
of Deputy Marshal Catron, of Scott
county, and Wallace Mccoy and Vince
Shortt. of Grundy, Va, went INTO the
mountains near Artrip, a flag station
on the Norfolk and Western, broke up
five stills, some of which were in active
operation at the time, and captured Joe
Branham, Mont McGlothlin, Pat and
Ben Rasnske and Hen Powers. About
1000 gallons of liquor was destroyed.
The prisoners were taken to Grundy
where they were placed under bond for
their appearance at the next term of
the Federal court.

AWFUL TRAGEDY
AT WYTHEVILLE
Chief-Of-POliGe Walter KCClintOCk And
3. 4. CriSSer Shot to Death In 4
Deadly Street Duel Saturday

Wytheville, Va, Dec. ia terrible
tragedy occurred on the main street
here this afternoon when Walter Nc
Clntock, town sergeant, was shot to
death by E. A. Crigger, upon whom he
was serving a warrant, and Crigger
himself killed either by McChntock or
someone else in the crowd. McClintock
died Immediately from several wounds,
two or three of which was In the face
and head, and Crigger lived only few
minutes. The shooting occurred about
5 O'Clock, and at time when the streets
were crowded with Saturday evening
and Christmas shoppers. 1t was prov
idential that only the immediate partici-
pants were injured.
1t seems that c. W. McClintock, a
brother of Walter McClintock, today
got out warrant charging the Criggers
with robbery. Accompanied by Deputy
Harry White, Chief McClintock went to
serve the warrant on the Crigger boys
The four men met in front of the court
house and when the Criggers were in
formed that the officers had warrant
for their arrest, E. A. Crigger drew a
revolver and began firing at McClin-
took. The combatants gained the mid
die Of the principal thoroughfsre of the
town and in the presence of large
crowd Of men and women who packed
the sidewalks the shooting became gen
eral McClintoclx fell frat .nd a,rnirod
in a few minutes. While mortally
wounded and lying prone in his life's
blood, he raised his pistol and fired at
Crigger, and the latter dropped near the
body of his victim. McClintock received
seven wounds while E. A. Crigger re-
ceived but one.
David Crigger, the brother of E. A,
Crigger, and who it is thought partici-
pated in the shooting, was arrested by
Deputy Harry White and is now locked
in jail.
McClintock had been chief of police
since September 1st last. He was 40
years of age and stood high as a citizen
and in fraternal societies. He leaves a
widow and five children.
E. A. Crigger, who until recently
conducted q large livery business in the
town, was 80 years old. He also leaves
a widow.
Great excitement prevails in Wythe-
vile tonight, but the authorities do not
look for further trouble.

OLD LANDMARK
Is DISAPPEARING
The High School Building Is Being Torn
DOYn-ItS Interesting History.

The contractors who have engaged to
erect new High School building for
the public schools at Tazewell are now
at work tearing down the old building.
This structure was built in the early
tifties Of the last century, and was the
property of the Northwestern Bank of
Virginia, which was the first bank ever
opened in the Chnch Valley. 1t was in
tended to be and was used both as a
dwelling for the cashier of the bank as
well as the banking Offices. And it was
so occupied and used until the bank was
forced to cease operations during the
Civil War. During the war Judge John
A. Kelly, who had been cashier of the
bank, occupied it as a residence, and it
was used for such. purposes by others
for several years after the war, among
the number being the late Isaac E.
Chapman. Later it was occupied for
private schools, and in 1880 and 1881
Prof. Evans had a very lourishing
school there. Several years later.
chiefly through the efforts OF the now
venerable Rev. VIM Kelly, the property
was acquired for the use of the public
schools of Tazewell county, and it has
since been so occupied and used.
Through the effort of Mr.. Kelly the old
church property in the rear of the build
ing was secured some ten years ago, and
the present chapel erected thereon. The
chapel will not be torn away, but will
be used in connection with the new
school building. This new building
when completed, according to plans and
specifications, will be splendid struct-
ure, one of the best school buildings in
Virginia

There will be just as good bargains
next year. In fact, the longer you put
it off the less of the ills you will be
called upon to suffer in the way of high

HIS SKULL FRACTURED.
Ed Bell Fatally Injured In a Difficulty
1t Falls kiIIS.

During shooting match for turkeys
at Falls Mills, in this county, on Sat
urday last, Edward Bell, of Cooper, w.
Va, and George Crigger, of Duhrlng,
w. Va, became engaged in a difficulty,
during which Crigger struck Bell over
the head with Winchester rifle, crush
ing his skull. So heavy was the blow
that the stock Of the gun was broken
and the barrel considerably bent. In
the excitement following the alterca-
tion Crigger made his escape into the
mountains. Bell was taken at once to
st. Luke's Hospital, at Bluefeld, where
medical attention was rendered, and
where he now hovers between life and
death.
After the trouble Crigger made his
way to his home at During, where he
kept in binding until Sunday night.
About 2 O'Clock that night there came q
rapping at his door, and on opening it
he WAS confronted by three men, who
told him they were officers and that he
would have to accompany them to Bran
Wen, Wnlcn Crlgger readily consented
to do. The quartet started in the di-
rection of Bramwell, snd when some
distance from Crigger's house, he was
set upon by the trio Of supposed officers
and badly beaten and shot The men
used their guns an clubs, and after beat
ing Criger almost into insensibility,
fred three shots from Winchester rifles
into his body, then made their escape,
leaving him for dead. He recovered
sufficiently, however, to crawl to his
home, where he now lies in a desperrte-
ly wounded condition.
Crigger claims to have recognized
two of his assailants, but refuses to
give their names. 1t is thought he will
recover, but one Of his arms which was
shattered by a bullet, will have to be
amputated.

TOOK SPIKES FROM RAIL.
Three Successive Attempts to Dsrail
Train Near WytheYilIe.

Wytheville, Va, Dec. 19.-An at
tempt was made Thursday to wreck
passenger train No. AZ on the Norfolk
and Western about a mile and a half
west of Wytheville by placing ties on
the track and taking spikes from some
of the rails. The ties were struck and
shivered, but fortunately the engine
was not thrown from the track, and
cleared the obstruction for the train.
Sheriff Brown was called on, and re-
sponded with his bloodhounds. The
trail was struck at once and followed
without stop or hindrance for eight
miles, when for some unknown cause
there was break and the trail was not
recovered.
Brown is very reticent about it, and
further Developments may be expected.
This is the third attempt to wreck trains
in the neighborhood within three past
successive nights. Wednesday night
the mail bag was stolen from the rack
where it had been placed at Crockett's s
Depot, few miles from the scene of
the attempted wreck, to be taken up by
No. AZ. The next day the remains of
the bag were found, it having been
burnt, and again Sheriff Brown took his
dogs up, and after an eighteen hour
trail landed his quarry Thursday in the
person of Hartman Brown, who lives
near Crockett. Brown is now in jail.

A Parting Word About Oklahoma and
Notes on Texas Towns.

December 18th we reached Durant,
Oklahoma. From observation and in
formation we gather, the lands around
Caddo and Durant present about the
best farming proposition in Eastern
Oklahoma. The land land looks good
to me. Within a radius of three to
four miles around these towns good
lands can be bought at $50 to $40 per
acre. Further back the lands are much
cheaper.
We are indebted to a resident of Du-
rant for much information. He was
educated at Roanoke College; was a
class mate of Messrs. Cecil Peery and
W. o. Barns, of Tazewell. He likes to
dwell on the delightful Virginia climate,
hospitality, grapes and apple butter and
the magnificent houses and furnishings.
Among some of these luxurious Virginia
homes he declares that he had walked
on Brussels carpet four inches thick.
"Oh! that some one the gift would give
US, to see ourselves as others see u.s."
The picture that he paints of US if put

and circulated in Oklahoma, there
would be greater exodus from here to
Virginia than from Virginia to Okla
homa. But such is life.
December 14th-Here we are in San
Antonio, Texas, 423 miles south of Du-
rant. This is the largest town in the
State. 1t contains about 100, 900 peo-
pie. The State Fair and the Interna-
tional Races are on here. The city is
full of visitors. l don't believe they
know we are here. l looked over the
morning paper carefully. but our names
nowhere occur therein. This town is
too big and too sporty for US.
We thought of going to Old Mexico
if we could get cheap excursion rates.
At length our search for an advertise
ment Of such an excursion was reward
ed by finding in daily paper the fol-
lowing: Sunset Route, Bull Fight,
Old Mexico, S. 90 round trip; Dec. goth,
Special Train leave a. m. for C. P.
Diaz." Says l to Jim, "We'n 90, but
not to see the Bull Fight" Says he
to me, eff go, the Bull Fight is what
l want to see." Then, when we looked
at the calendar we found that December
Goth, unfortunately, fell on Sunday this
year. Now, it is well settled by the
ethics of the United States that no
preacher or son of preacher ought to
go on Sunday excursion to see Bull
Fight We didn't go.
After passing through Denison, Fort
Worth, Austin, and San Antonio, De-
cember 10th we reached Galveston.
