there are many families of the
name throughout Clinch Val
ley.
As the story runs, Adam
Hartman was hunting and trap
ping in this section and that he
suspected the Indians of steal
ing his furs. These tribes were
usually peaceful and Hartman
thought that man named
Castle was prompting them in
their depredations. He accord
ingly obtained n warrant from
n justice in Augusta county
and with posse set out To
make the arrest in or about the
section of Russell county known
as Castlewood. With Hartman
was n stout hunter named
Clinche, and their party meet
ing with serious resistance from
Castle and the Indians, n re-
treat was ordered. While re-
treating this man named
Clinche was thrown from his
horse while crossing the river,
and being already famed by an
attack Of white swelling, and
the Indians, believeing him to
be disabled, dashed into the
river and seized him, but the
great hunter was too much for
his enemy, succeeding in
drowning him, hence the name
Clinch river was given. DIR.
Thomas Walker, in his journal
kept on his journey to and
through Cumberland Gap and
returned III 1850, says: "Clinch
river was named for hunter
whose name was Clinche."
In the course of time the final
e was dropped from the word
and it became Clinch river the
Valley deriving it's name from
the stream flowing in it.-Blue

Kinneman elucidated his mean

Mrs. Anna NJ. GOSS, WIDOW or the
dead man, was stricken almost to
the point of prostration when she
heard of the death of her hus-
band The Goss home is at 701
South | street.
1t is believed worry over con-
tract to build the new Central
school here, which was awarded
Goss at a figure $4,000 lower
than the price named by the next
lowest bidder, drove Goss to sui
eide.
Goss, previous to the time he
was awarded the contract, was
worth $50, 900, mostly in stock of
the F. II. Goss Brick company.
Although this company was a cor
poration, Goss was practically
sole owner.
Registering under the name of
T. c. Green of Seattle, Goss paid
for his room at the Carlton
which he insisted must be quiet
room because of his inability to
sleep where he couli hear running
street cars. His last act, before
he shot himself, was to tip Eleva-
tor Boy II. Johnston 25 cents for
showing him room en- the fourth
floor.
Goss disappeared yesterday, the
fact being reported to the police
at that time. Search was being
made for the missing contractor
and when word reached the police
of suicide at the Carlton, De
tective ID. o. Smith recognized
from the description given that
the dead man was Goss.
Coroner Ashton could not be To-
Gated, and through courtesy to
the police department and to the
management of the Carlton ho-
tel, the Hoska-Buckley-King I'm
dertaking company removed the
body to their parlors. 1t is be-
lieved that Ashton had not yet
returned to his duties here from
Olympia, where he attended the
governors inaugural ball last
night.
Besides his widow, Goss leaves
son, Henry f. Goss, secretary
treasurer of the Goss Brick COM
pany, who lives at 1920 North
Mullen street.
Goss killed himself by. placing
the muzzle of .32-caliber revol-
yer in his mouth and pulling the
trigger. The bullet lodged in the
brain.
Underneath his head, the ia
tai gun lay in a pool of blood.
To all appearances the unfortun-
ate man had fired the shot while
looking into the mirror of his
dresser.
The dead man was about So
years old, and was one of the
