Bluefield, w. Va. Nov. IA
very damaging bit of circumstantial
evidence which it is said will be
used against the man, Howard Lit
tie, who stands charged with the
famous Meadows massacre, in Buch-
anan county. Virginia, is said to
be in the hands of news butcher
French, who has one of the runs on
the Norfolk & Western railroad
between Norton and Bluefield. This
evidence consists of penny which
the agent says he received from
Little the day following when the
crime was committed. 1t is said
that the piece of money shows dis
tinctly the blood which they claim
was from the bloody hand of Little
after he had slain the victims of
the massacre, and it is being care
fully preserved and will be present
ed by the prosecution as an exhib-
II in the case. Should the alleged
blood be given the proper chemical
analysis and it should prove what
they claim it is, the introduction of
it as evidence would be very in
eliminating to the accused.

George Adkins, an employee of
the Elk mill, not far from Devon,
met death one night last week un-
der circumstances that lead the au-
thorities to believe that he was
foully murdered An engineer on
the branch railroad that runs from
Devon to the mills discovered the
body after his engine had run over
and crushed it. An examination was
made and it was found that Adj
kins had been shot through the
head. With two companions Allen
Click and q man named Gibson, Ad-
kins left Devon early In the night.
On the other side of the river they
began to quarrel and their loud talk
was heard by a number Of people.
Threats of shooting were also heard
and soon after four or five shots
were fired. No attention was given
the matter until Upper Moore, en-.
gineer on the branch line, ran ovel

were arrested but we're discharged

Oil Operations.

Oil operations along the Tug riv-
er valley promise to become some
thing important in the very near
future. For some time prospeetors
have been procuring leases until
they are now said to have almost all
the available territory under lease.
1t is a very unfortunate fact that
many of the land holders along the
West Virginia side of the river
have no mineral rights in their
lands. Over thirty years ago when
Aspinwall, Lowe & Co., of New
York, had sued for possession of
the lands of many of the Wayne
county farmers, claiming that the
former had a prior right to the
lands, compromise was effected In
which the plaintiffs were to have
the mineral rights while the farm
ers who had had possession OF the
lands for many years, were to hold
the surface. At that time the av-
erage, unsophlsticated farmer never
thought of anything like oil being
found beneath the surface and were
very glad TO enter into such com
promise. Now, however, they begin
to realize the mistake they haze
made, Only a few of them hav'
the rights to the mineral and though
those who hold the rights may re-
alize millions out of them, it, will

Death of Former Resident.

Word reached Julesburg last week
of the death of Joseph Duncan, who
died at his home in Axtell, Kansas,
on the 10th of March, death being due
TO pneumonia. Mr.. Duncan was sick
but very few days and his death
came quite unexpectedly to his friends
in this place. He was au active MEM
Der of the Methodist Episcopal church
and will be remembered for his many
acts of kindness during his residence
in Julesburg. 1t is only few months
ago that Mr.. Duncan departed from
our town to find home in Kansas and
hence lhe news of his sudden demise
comes as great surprise to those who
knew him.

an Atlanta clergyman, used to laugh

say, with the physician--everyb body
wants free advice on the health
question from him.
- once heard him tell about an
editor who served ten days in Jail for
thrashing the mayor The warden
treated him very kindly. and at the
ten days end, escorting him to the
door and shaking him by the hand said:
