FIRE DAMAGES BARN OF JOHN w.
THOMAS.

The firemen were called out at six
o'clock on Friday afternoon last week
to put out fire in the barn of John
w. Thomas, on the east side. In five
minutes after the bell rang the boys
had a stream of water playing on the
fire, which was famed by the strong
wind, and owing also to the infam-
able material of the barn and con.
tents, had gained considerable head
way. The fire was quickly put out,
but the building was considerably
damaged.

Since last Saturday Mingo county
has been visited by three destructive
fires, two of them in the city of
Williamson. The first of this series
of blazes was at Devon station last
Saturday morning and before the
flames could be conquered large
part of the town had been wiped out
On last Sunday morning, about 1870
o'clock, fire was discovered in the
big Y. NJ. C. A. building, which was
damaged to the amount of about
$500, mostly by smoke and water.
The homes of Assessor n. J. Keadle
and Judge F. H. Evans in the west
end of the city were completely de-
stroyed Wednesday evening between
9 and 10 o'clock, entailing a loss of
about $4,000. The total loss in the
three fires will aggregate $4,000.

Commander,

The Hon. Dan w. Cunningham, the
mighty oracle of the city of Char
lesion, and brave U. S. Deputy Mar
shall, was in town Wednesday, for a
short while. While he was defaming
and belittleing the people of Boone
the sun ceased to shine, not leaf
rustled on tree or shrub, not breath
was drawn, not an eye winked or
blinked, not a dust busted, the dogs
slunked to cover, the cows got on
Bonded knees, and the chickens went
t. roost. An awful stiffness prevail
ed every living creature. Even the
dead stayed dead, and ghosts ghosted
not a tiny bit. The stiffness was
awful to behold. The mighty tread
Of this mighty man as he departed
resembled young earthquake No
murder was committed, save the
Kings English, no property was
missing--the mighty tension was
broken, and breath and blood again
flowed through lung and vein, as
OF yore,--Boone Democrat,

There is an unusual case of
criminal character on in the Circuit
Court of Wayne county, w. Va, in
which the question of a single initial
has placed in doubt the validity of
an indictment for murder, returned
against Roland Salmons, at whose
door was laid the Staying of John
Smith. When the case came to trial
the indictment read to the effect
that Salmons was charged with the
murder of John A. Smith and not
John Smith, the man who was really
killed. When this became known, the
prosecution asked that the jury be
instructed to return a special YER
dict of not guilty. This was done, but
Salmons was held, and the next ses-
sion of the grand jury returned an
Indictment against him for the muir
der of John Smith This case was
called, and then the attorneys for
the defense, of whom are John S.
and Lace Marcum and John Meek,
entered a motion asking the dismiss
sal of Salmons, on the grounds that
he, having been once placed Gin
jeopardy, could not legally be tried
again. The attorneys for the defense
claim that the difference of an initial
in the name in the indictment did
not necessarily invalidate that docu-
ment. The case will be argued next
week on these grounds. and II The
court holds that the indictment was
really valid, then the defendant mus
be discharged The case is one Of
the character that seldom come
before any court, and when they do
attract much attention.
