Mr.. KILGORE INDICATED.
Charges Preferred Against Hin by Mayor
Of Morton Fall Flat.

On the second page of this issue of
our paper will be found a small article
dealing with the mix-up in the financial
affairs Of the town of Norton and the
disappearance of two small tax books
from the recorders office and the gener-
al unsatisfactory state of affairs rela-
ting thereto as unearthed by the expert
accountant who was employed by the
city to check up its books. Since going
to press with this page new and start
ling things have occurred. Mr.. c. T.
kllgore, the present recorder, was
charged by Mr.. J. j. Body, the mayor,
with having made way with the books,
and warrant was sworn out to that
effect. An examination into the char
ges against Mr.. KHgore was held on
last Monday at Wise before three JUS
tees of the peace and resulted in his
complete vindication of any wrong do
ing whatever. Following the discharge
of Mr. Kilgore, Mr.. w. N. Surface, a
member of the finance committee of
the town of Norton, has given to the
fiimsy the charges against Mr.. Kilgore
were:
''Kilgore succeeded j. J. Body as re-
corder last October. Body was appoint
ed mayor. Body's accounts were not
checked then, but he and Kilgore listed
all tax tickets that he turned over to
Kilgore. The finance committee began
the annual checking March oath, and
listed all of Kilgore's tickets. which
were found correct. Body refused to
turn over to the finance committee his
old license book, and an auditor was
employed and Body gave up the books,
but on examination of the books two
small tax books were found missing.
Some party had taken the same from
Kilgore's Office. Kilgore could not have
possibly been benefited by them, as the
committee had already listed them and
he had every reason to want them pre-
served. AT the trial of Kilgore, Body
was placed on the stand as prosecu-
ting witness, having sworn out the war
rant. Characterization of him had
not proceeded far when the common
wealth's attorney and Body's counsel
asked that the case be dismissed. Kill
cores lawyers refused to have it dis
missed and demanded that the examina-
tion continue. The commonwealth
attorney withdrew and the examination
was finished before three justices and
Kilgore was completely vindicated.
Mr. Kilgore is well known here, hav-
ing lived in this city a number of years
ago, and his many friends will be glad
to know of his complete vindication and
his manly stand in refusing to let the
matter drop when requested to do so by
those seeking to put the blame on him.

How TO Find HdIIey's Comet.

Halley's comet is now visible to the
naked eye, but as it yet appears only
about as bright as a star of fourth or
fifth magnitude. it is necessary to know
the exact location in order to find it.
While the tail may be seen with the eye
it is rather indistinct. and pair of field
or opera glasses will show it plainly.
The moonlight has interfered to some
extent with locating and getting a good
view of the comet, but from today until
the 14th instant there will be no inter
ference on this account and good view
may be had, the best time to observe it
being between 800 and 400 a. m. 1t
will be at its brightest tomorrow morn
ing about 3:15.
To assist in easily finding the comet
the brilliant morning star, none other
than the planet Venus, affords an easy
means of locating it. This planet rises
about 3:l5 a. M, just a little South of
East and by following a line from We
nus to the star Gamma of the Great
Square Of Pegasus, it being the lowest
star in the square, the comet may be
found on a line and about two-thirds
the distance from Venus to Gamma Pc
gasi
The star Gamma Pegasi being of only
the third magnitude, another means of
locating the comet is by finding the
morning star, then running the line of
vision upward and eastward ON an
angle of forty-fve degrees with the
horizon q distance of eleven degrees the
comet will be found.
After May 10th the comet will be visi-
bic in the Western skies and after the
25th will be extremely brilliant. AS
the earth will pass through the tail of
the comet on the 18th instant, and no
telling what may happen. If you want
to be sure of having seen it you had
better get up early and take view.
One of the curious facts about the
comet is that as it approaches the sun
it trails its immense tail after it in its
mad pace through the heavens. As it
gets nearer the sun the tail gradually
disappears, always staying on the side
of the comet opposite the sun. When
it reaches its perihelion. it has scarcely
any tail, but this begins to form on its
outward course. AS it is now Journey
ing from the sun it is travelling with its
tail first, and it will be In this position
when it passes the earth.

Shooting Of John Lammy.

John Lammy was shot and danger.
ously wounded last Thursday on Town
Hill branch, near Rich!ands, by Bot
Dowdy. At first it was thought Lam
my's wounds would be fatal, but he was
taken to the Williams hospital at Rich.
lands, and due to the skillful treatment
received there, he now has fighting
chance to recover.
From the statement of an eye witness
it appears that Dowdy, Lammy and
some others were returning home after
IN afternoon spent in drinking. Dowdy
went to his home and must have at that
time procured his gun, for when he
came out of the house he fired two shots
going down the road. He then entered
Lammy's house and fired shot or two.
When Lammy demonstrated, with an
oath Dowdy replied: al will shoot YOU. -
and fired at Lammy. The bullet enter
ed the abdominal region, perforated the
stomach and tore away part of the
liver
Dowdy escaped, and is supposed to be
in hiding in West Virginia near Blue
field. According to a statement made
by his wife, whom he visited before
leaving the scene Of the crime, he claim
ed Lammy tried to cut him with q
knife.
