DEPUTY MARSHALL.
KILLS THREE men
N. c. w. Engineer and a
Tazewell Man Shot at
Keystone.

John w. Waldron, Deputy Unit
ed States Marshall, OF Weich, w.
Va, shot and killed Wade Gillespie
and K. b. Tate, in n houes Of Ill
repute In Burke, I'D djoining Keystone,
last Sunday night, about nine
o'clock. Tate was shot dead. GILES
pie lived several hours. The shoot
ing occurred In a room in which the
three men were alone. WaldIon is
therefore the only living witness,
and his statement has not been pub
lished so far as seen. Gillespie was
a son of Mr.. Lee Gillespie, who lives
in this county, was young man and
unmarried. Tate was an engineer OF
the Norfolk and Western, and un-
married. Both lived at Northfork.
Waldron, who did the shooting,
is son of Rufus Waldron, and not
the man, of the same name and
town, as was first reported, who
married Miss Ora Daley, of this
county few months ago.
There are conflicting reports OF the
causes leading to the killing. One is,
that Waldron went to the house of
Madge Murry, as we'll as other
houses, looking for parties who were
reported TO be selling liquor on Sun
day, and found sufficient evidence O
JUS tify him in placing the Murry
woman under arrest. Tate and Gill
lespie were there, and IL is said took
the woman's part. Waldron stated,
so the Telegraph publishes, that Tate
called him into room, Gillespie
followed and closed the door. Words
passed, Tate struck WaIdron over
the head with a beer bottle, knock
ing him down, and Gillespie started
TO attack him also. While down on
the floor. be states, he shot the men.
After the shooting he left on No. 3
for Welch and surrendered TO the
sheriff The above is about the
statement which Chief OF Police,
White said WaldIon told him, as
published in the Bluefield papers.

1t was stated in this paper last
weeh that attorney A s Higginbot-
ham was candidate for the Judge
hip of this Circuit, and that petitions
had been presented to the Legislature
asking for his appointment, all OF
which was true, with the exception
perhaps of the statement that he was
"a candidate" for the place He was
never a candidate in the sense OF
making fight for the place. He
consented to accept the judgeship II
offered him. However, Mr.. Higgin-

Doubtful

murder of six people In Buchanan
county, and sentenced 10 be electro
cuted, but respited by the Governor

unless his motion for new trial is
granted. His counsel, B. T. Wilson,
OF Lebanon has made such mo-
tion, and the matter Is now I'm the
hands of the Court of Appeals.
Before this paper reaches its read
ers, perhaps. IL will be known wheth-
er or not the court will grant new
trial.
II is said that Little left Roanoke
relatively calm, and was evidently
buoyed up by the hope held out tc
him, of n new trial. Since his incar-
ceration in the Roanoke jail he has
become less composed IL Is said, and
at one time, he asked after having
passd Trough n religious service, "ii
a confession To God was not all that
should be expected Of man?" This
was all he said or has ever said,
about confessing, and this question
Is not TO be taken as conclusive evil
dence that he had the confession OF
the murders with which he was
charged, in his mind.

Sewerage System of High School
TO be CHANGED

For some TIME the High School
people have had trouble with the
sewerage OF the High School build
ing. The cesspool, into which the
pipes aud water from the roof main
ly empty has overfiowed and does
not drain out. A contract has been
made so IL Is stated, to Law pipes
across Main Street TO the large cess
pool and sewer pipes OH the other
side Of town, which will be quite q
job. and require considerable time
and expense. Somebody "slipped
up" on the cess pool job at first, and
this arrangement is the only remedy.

The Treasure Seekers

One sought the East for gems and
found, alas,
Dire failure was his most unhappy
pass.
One sought the pearls In waters Of
the Ind,
And sank a victim of the seas and
wind.
Another sought the gold that glitters
free
Upon the strand far In the Northern
sea,
And on the beaches of that land Of
white
His bones lie resting in the endless
night.
A fourth plunged in the nearer fray
to win
The gaudy raiment that the Trade
Elves spin,
And at the last found Golfers full OF
dross-
The gold was profit, but his soul
was loss

or him that delves deep in the

Not far afieId, but here let me secur,
From them that love me treasures
