However, that does not hinder new

War is now being talked of between

CLAUDE ALLEN GUILTY
Is Convicted of Murder in the
First Degree

Wytheville, Va, July o.
Claude Allen, one of the Hillsville
outlaws, was on Saturday convict
ed of murder in the first degree for
the killing of commonwealth attor-
ney, William Nj. Foster.
Alta former trial he was found
guilty of murder in the second de-
gree for the killing of Judge Thorn
ton L. Massie.
Claude Allen is the second one
of the Allen Clan to be convicted
of first degree murder, his father,
Floyd Allen, being the other.
When he learned that he must
pay the penalty for his crime in the
electric chair the prisoner broke
down and wept bitterly, as did also
his fiancee, who was with him in
the court room. 1t was the first
time he had displayed the first sign
OF emotion since his trial began.
While the jury was considering
it's verdict, Sidna Edwards and
Victor and Friel Allen were brought
into the court room in order that a
motion might be made for a change
of venue. A venire of 70 will be
summoned from Bedford county
for the next trial. 1T was decided
to try Friel Allen next. The trial
will begin Aug. IA, and will be on
the indictment charging the murder
of William Foster, the same rs the
Indictment upon which Claude and
Floyd Allen have been found guilty

Big Barns Burn at st. Marys

St. Marys, Aug. 1.-Two large
barns and a shed on the farm of
Hiram Eisenman, near here, were
destroyed by fire of an unknown
origin. The buildings were all in
cluster and the wind spread the
flames from one building to another
in short time. The family had re
tired for the night and when the
FIRE was discovered it had gained
such headway that nothing could
be saved. There is no clue to iu-
dicate how the fire started and as
no suspicious characters were seen
in the neighborhood, it is supposed
that spontaneous combustion was
the cause.

The Appe-Tree Borer

A correspondent wrote to State
Zoologist Surface, Harrisburg Pa,
for information concerning the
treatment of borers in his apple trees
and received the following reply:
"For the Apple tree borer | recon-
mend no digging, but locating the
holes by observing the fine powder
which they grind ont through the
bark and drop near the base of the
tree. When the holes are found
inject with spring bottom oil can
the liquid known as carbon bisul-
fide, and close the hole with clay
or if it is an irregular opening stuff
in a small tuft of cotton soaked
with carbon bisulfde, and cover this
with clay. 1t is not necessary to
cut the trees, as all cutting is liable
to be more or less injurious when
applied to the part of the tree thai
is infested with the borer. suppose
if one had time the best thing to do
would be to fill the holes with graft
ing wax after applying the carbon
bisulfide, where one has only a few
trees it is possible to do this, but it
is not practical in large orchard.
