HiaWatha Entertainment Called OF.

Because of a great deal of work
necessary to fit the College Audi
torium for use, and it not being pos
sible to get it done within the
short time before school closes,
1t will be impossible for the drama
"Hiawatha" to be given, as was
stated last week. Much regret and
even disappointment is expressed
by both myself and the players
since great amount of work had
been done in preparation for the
play, before it was made known thai
the stage could not be finished. II
is hoped that by another year all
barriers of this kind will be re-
moved and that work in the Expires

reasonable figures. Accordingly the
County Court has appointed T. S.
Thompson and W. T. Cain a com
mittee to appear before the board,
and they left Thursday morning for

Will Apply For Pardon.

Earl f, budding, the Huntington
who was recently con-
victed of murder and sentenced to
the penitentiary for five years in
the Criminal Court of Cabell county,
has made application for pardon.
The application for clemency is bas-
ed upon the bad health of budding,
who, since the killing of his uncle,
Ira f. Chapman, has been a nervous
wreck. His trial consumed several
days, and the Court refused to set
aside the verdict. After Judge Doo-
little, of the Circuit Court, had re-
fused new trial, budding gave up
hope and made application for a
pardon.

Two Parties Of Engineers in.
This County.
Surveys Being Made IN Lawrence
County, the Object Of Which Can
Not be Ascctained.

Two parties Of railroad engineers
have been at work In this county
during the last three weeks Their
movements have caused much spec
ulatlon among the people as TO the
meaning OF the work.
One party has been over a route
practically the same as the one
surveyed several months ago from
webbylIle 70 Blaine and into Ma
coffin county, and the work is un-
der the charge Of the same engi-
neer. The information obtained
aud published about that at the
time Indicated that a Canadian com
pany owning extensive and valuable
mineral lands In Breathitt county
was having the survey made with
view OF getting an outlet for Us
coal The purchase ofthe Eastern
Kentucky railway was said to be
part Of the plan.
The other party Of engineers has
been at Fallsburg for about two
weeks, working on two 'or three
routes from that place. Nothing
can be learned about the object OF
this survey or who is having the
work done, A survey made few
years ago demonstrated the feast
biIlty Of railroad route north and
south via Fallsburg. That sur
vey left the river at Ashland and

MURDER IN MINCO.
Amos Hatfield KILLED Doc Mounts in
Self Defense.

Amos Hatfield, nephew of old
Devil Anse" Hatfield, Sunday shot
and killed Doe" Mounts, a consta-
BILE at Lindsey, in Mingo county,
the shooting being the result Of a
fight over a woman's love, both
men being aspirants for the affec-
tions of Jane Lusby, of Lindsey,
Hatfield, it is said, had sent word
to Mounts that If he didn't keep
away from the girl he would kill
him on sight. Mounts sent word
back that if Hatfield did kill him
he would have to draw quicker than
he ever had before. -. ...
The men met Sunday afternoon
and at sight, Hatfield, who is a
crack shot, pulled his gun. Two
shots rang out in quick succession
and Mounts fell dead, both bullets
piercing the heart. Mounts was q
constable, nervy man, quick oil
the trigger, but he never had al
opportunity to get his gun.
! Amos Hatfield has been tried {
number of times for highway rob
berry and murder in Mingo county
but has in some manner alway!
escaped conviction. The entire com
munity is aroused by this, his lates
crime. He is still at liberty and i
is thought that any attempt to ar
rest him will result in a desperate
/ battle. -

but upon an investigation of the af
fair it was shown that he did it ii
