TRAGEDY.
Detective and Prisoner Are
Both Killed.
John VanhoOse. Of CatlettsbuTg, and
Gid MaTcum, Of Mingo County,
are the Victims.

Detective John Yanhoose, OF Cat
lettsburg, and Gid Marcum, of some-
where near Breeden, W. Va, were
both killed last sunday as result
of Marcums arrest by the detec-
tive. Nothing very definite can be
learned just now of the double trag-
edy. as all reports concerning 1t
are conflicting. 1t is said That for
long time the N. & W. railroad
has been the field where robbers
and thieves have successfully piled
their vocation, with
only an occasional arrest. A few
days ago Vanhoose, who was en-
ployed by the Baldwin Agency, re-
ceiyed orders to go up the Twelve
Pole division OF the N. 4 W. and
arrest Marcum, who was suspected
of being guilty of some of the dep
relations on Its property.
Vanhoose went in search of Mar
cum. taking with him constable or
deputy sheriff named George DAM
ron. Somewhere between Breeden
and Dinguss they found Marcum
who, when told what they wanted,
surrendered in apparent good humor
and all three started for a train.
Here comes in what seems at this
distance a most unaccountable thing.
The officers neither handcuffed their
prisoner nor searched him for weap-
ons. and while thus walking along
Marenm, as suddenly as lightning
strikes, drew pistol, shot detective
Vanhoose three times, once in the
arm and once in the stomach, the
third shot through the head,
killing him instantly. He then turn
ed his weapon on Damron, but the
officer was too quick for him and
shot him through the left eye, the
wound causing instant death.
vanhoose was married, leaving a
widow and two children. He was a
son of Jeff vanhoose. who many
years ago was a resident of this city
and was at one time city marshal

Wolf Slain in Louisa.

Louisa has not gone back to the
days when bear and deer came to
the river to Quench their thirst and
the wild turkey called to its mate.
In the dense forest, which at one
time flourished where Walnut Grove
addition to Louisa now exists on
the beautifully engraved stock of
the noted company Of Wolcott
Catchem, Shearem & Co. Neither
is the whoop OF the original Red
man heard instead of the musical
notes sounded from the windows Of
the /. o. O. F, every Friday night.
But it is solemn fact that a real
wolf, not a live one stuffed with
straw, was run down (or up) and
shot fatally dead in that part of
Louisa known as Italy ON Tuesday
of this week.
When its presence was first re-
ported the greatest excitement en-
sued. Children big enough to climb
trees perehed on the topmost limbs,
while smaller ones took to the cell
lars, followed by jeff Wilson and
two of Arbie's dogs. You know they
are possum dogs and were skeered
At wolf.
Meanwhile the bolder citizens
gathered to the number of about
eleyenteen and gave chase, the wolf
leading by aboat half a mile, 1t
looked for time as if the ferocious
varmint would escape, but your un-
Gle Josh Diamond, who hunted
wolves when John Gartin was a
mere child, knew exactly what to
do. So he just took his trusty
weepin. Josh did, and just sat in
his front door till Mr. Wolf tried
to sneak by, and carefully aiming
the aforesaid weepin for about five
minutes he let drive, SO he did,
and the peslty thing dropped stone
dead. If you dare doubt for a sim
gle minute that Uncle Josh did these
things just walk over to Italy where
the mud is fordable and he'll show
you the identical spot where the
wolf stood still and let him shoot.
LATER: Since the above was
put in type we have learned that it
was Arbie Wilson's pet wolf that
had broken out the night before and
killed nearly every chicken in north
west Louisa.

Another Who Can Come Back. /"

Under this headline the Frank
fort correspondent of the Louisville
Times of Tuesday said this of well
known Louisian:
John Rice, one of the prominent
Democrats of the Big Sandy sec
tion, arrived yesterday and was Civ
en- a cordial greeting by his mauy
old friends here. He was clerk in
the Auditors office many years ago
under Maj. L. c. Norman. and, if
reports be true, will be in the Aud
itor's office again under Henry Bos-
worth, after January list. Mr.. Rice
looks as young as he did fifteen
years ago when he left Frankfort.
He always takes an active interest
in politics and is recognized as e
good hustler.
