Breaks Down Before Father.
Yet, when the lad at last caught
sight of his old father waiting for him
st the door of the cert house, tears
came to his eyes.
Then the sons mood took another
turn. He pulled himself together and
jauntily pulled cigaret. He greeted
his elder brother, Douglas, who also
had awaited him. All entered the
court room and soon arrived Judge
Watson, the benchman in the case.
Then Sheriff Gill, who was In the fore
front of Pickett's charge at Gettys-
burg. called the case. Beattie's attor-
neys, Harry Smith and William Car
ter, used every argument at their
command for postponement. Com.
monwealth's Attorney Gregory and
Counsellor Louis Wandenburg opposed
them.
He stood stalwart and erect. 1t
was, perhaps, more a sudden flood OF
childhood memories than any fear of
his fate that put quaver into his
voice when. after listening to the
long indictment, he pleaded not guilty.
The examination of jurors began.

jury will be easy.

vile system having absorbed the
l. e. 4. railroad and failed in
their attempt to buy the Ohio Il
Kentucky will at once push the
Mountain Central through Hazel
Green to Helechawa and extend
the system so az to defeat the
ends of the road they have failed
to buy. The l.. & N. may ex
tend the Mountain Central
through and connect with the

Meeting line at Pikeville. John

which the l.. & N. acquired the

John will do all he can to get his
