VICIOUS ASSAULT
ENDED IN MURDER
Thomas Clark Died After
Being Struck on Head
With Rock.

AS the result OF being struck on

stone In the hands of Gene Davis.
former bu iness associate, at Prich-
ard, this county, Saturday morning,
Thomas Clark, n we'll known cit,zen
OF Westmoreland, lies at the point
of death in ward AT the Hunting.
ton hospital at Huntington. An
operation performed Saturday night
by DIR richard relieved the pres,
sure on the brain, but the fracture
and conclusion are so great that the
victim of the at ack may not re-,
cover.
Thomas Clark, 50 years of age,
left Huntington Friday morning TO
go TO PIIchard to visit Joseph Da-
Wis, his brother in-law, on a matter
of business. Saturday afternoon he
was taken to the Huntington hos-
p'tal, accompanied by his son, John
Clark, whose meeting with him at
Prichard, weak and bleeding from
his terri BILE injury, was mere mat
ter of accident.
The story told by his son at the hos
pital Saturday night, lent the impress
sion that old trouble between his
father and Gene Davis was the
cause Of the tragedy that may yet
make murderer of the aseailant.
he stated that last fall his father
and Gene Davis were partners in
the turkey business and that at the
time the two quarrelcd, but appar-
emily, later on, forgot their differ.
ences.
Clark started from the home ofs
Joe Davis, two and halt miles
back of Prichard, early saturday
morning, intending TO catchtne first
train down over the N. 10 w. for
Kenova, en- route home. On the
road, he later told his son, he met
Gene Davis, who invited him to
come over TO his home aud spend a
little while. Telling him he was in
too much Of hurry as he had to
catch train, Clark started on, but
Davis called him, he claimed, and
bS bCh w nCC Wudb Wdb WhUbs
ed, struck him fearful blow over
the left temple with heavy stone
caving in the skull, making n great
depression the size Of mans fist.
Strange to say even that terrible
blow did not render Clark uncon-
scIous. Turning from him, Davis fled
toward home and Clark, too weak
to pursue, staggered on his way
walking the entire distance of two
miles and a half to Prichard where
Fate threw him into the hands of
his son, John Clark who had
stopped off at that station on his
way back home from Borderland,
where he had been visiting his sig
ter. lie had started home on a
freight and when it stopped at
PrIchard to take water bad jumped
off for few minutes. Taking his
father by the arm he started for the
river few yards away to wash the
blood from his face, but the old
man sank unconscious to the
ground. He was then carried on q
train, brought 70 Kenova and taken
TO Huntington on the afternoon B.
q o. train and placed in the hos
pital.

TANNED through Congress by former
President Roosevelt. under the same
damnabe pretence that is being used by
President Wilson TO force this Dill
through Congress-pass the bill, or plead
incompetence.
Mr.. Fowler advocated the establishment
Of a system of pure banknote asset cur
rency. under which each individual bank
would issue its own notes as currency az
they were needed. He recommended that
the present s76O,ooo.o0o Of banknotes re-
main in circulation. but that the per
cent government banknotes securing
them be retired and the notes become
credit currency issued by the banks.
"On this currency" Mr.. Fowler said.
"a per cent tax would form a guaran-
tee fund, which would be held against
notes outstanding issued by banks which
might fail" Against the notes, he said,
the banks should be required TO hold a
reserve equal to their reserve against de-
posts.
Mr.. Fowler recommended the holding of
q gold reserve OF sl,250.Ooo0o0 by the gov
eminent TO enable the government to
control the gold supply Of the country.
Bristow Offers New Bill.
Senator Bristow, member Of the com
mittee. added another element TO the
situation to-day by introducing a new
currency bill in the Senate. The Senator
said that he did so by request, and
thought the bill contained valuable points.
The measure would allow the present
national banks with a capital Of 10000
and 20 per cent surplus TO take out, In
addition to their present currency secured
by per cent government bonds, ''un-
secured currency" up to the amount OF
their capital. This currency would be
secured by first lien on the assets OF
the bank. and would be taxed per cent
the first six months 1t was out, per
cent the next three months. and per
cent the next three months, and at the
end OF the year the Comptroller OF the
Currency could order it retired.
The tax would be used 10 form a
guarantee fund against failures. The
banks would be required to deposit b
per cent redemption fund similar TO the
present fund against bank notes.
