VIM. Riley Has PTOtIaCted

Escapes With His Life and a Few
Wounds, From WiIds Of West
Virginia.

That William Riley, aged 80 years
and formerly a member OF the Will
hanson w. Va, police force, is
not sleeping his last sleep on
Pine or some other Hill is because
OF his courage and nerve and the
lack OF both of these elements
in his recent assailants.. Mr.. Riley's
story as related to the News, is a
most interesting narrative, that is,
interesting TO the listener. To Mr..
Riley it must have lost all inter-
est, save in the fact that he is
able to tell it himself. For a
considerable period he has been

had not long to wait. A volley
broke the stiffness of the glen, and
two bullets burnt their way through
the calf of one leg. This, Mr.. Ri
