good people in Big Stone Gap
do not think the matter of our
work Of much Importance, but
when we tell you that there has
never been a time since we set
to work that we have not had
the care and maintenance al.
most of the families Of from 3
to six or eight sick people whose
doctors and drugs we were
furnishing, and that even now
we have under our care some
half dozen sick, YOU must feel
that We are a much needed in
stitution in this community.
Besides looking after Their
other wants, we have furnished
fuel and clothing, distributing
no less than 100 garments to
suffering men, women and
children, and there is still a
crying need for help in this
line, and we earnestly ask
everybody to send any old
clothing or bedclothes to the
home of the chairman of the
donation committee. Mrs. f.. Il
Goodloe. Or if unable to dc
this, to notify the president
Mrs. j. f. Bullitt, and TIN,

town have furnished MS al
goods at cost, very materially
helping our work, and we tax,

appreciation Of their help.

DWELLING BURNED.

The two story dwelling in plat
three, belonging to lump
Peterson and occupied by T. T..
Tucker and family, was burned
Sunday morning about four
O'Clock.
The house was located too far
from fire plug for the hose to
be of any service, and the entire
building was consumed. When
the fire was discovered the
flames had gained such head
way that the family did not
save near all their household
effects.
The concrete dwelling, be-
longing TO G. G. Cochran and
occupied by Thomas Buckuer,
was saved from burning by a
bucket brigade that kept water
constantly poured on the roof
and where wood was exposed
to the flames. The origin of the
fire is unknown.

DUMAS CASE TIRES CHIEF WIRING
Hibbing Man Tells Of Care Exercised
in Guarding the Jury.

Hibbing, Mimi, Oct. 5.-Chief of
Police Peter Wiring returned yester-
day morning from Bemidjl where he
had been for almost week, as wit
ness for the state in the DR.. Dumas
case.
"It was the most tiresome job I
ever tackled" said he. Il went to
Bemidji last Tuesday morning and
have been there ever since The jury
was not selected until last Friday
night and therefore the trial did not
begin until the following day.
s'The court is most careful to see
that the jurors are not tempered
with" went on Mr.. Wiring. 'They
are constantly under the surveillance
of three deputies who never let one
of them out of sight for an instant.
Even the talesmen's mail is looked
over by the judge first and is then
handed to the owners. AS TO the wit
nesses they would not allow us in
the court room excepting when We
were called to the stand and we had
to sit around on the curbing outside
the building.
GAS to the outcome of the case, 1t is
extremely hard to even surmise. 1t
looks from present indications as if
the state had pretty good case, but
of course, we have heard nothing
from the defense"
